GALANTAS REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2011.

DATE: 28th November 2011

Galantas Gold Corporation (the ‘Company’) results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been published.

Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to CAD$ 445,646 compared to a Net Income of CAD$ 206,069 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. When Net Income is adjusted for non-cash items on the Income Statement (before changes in non-cash working capital), the cash generated from operating activities amounted to CAD$ 792,682 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to CAD$ 358,514 for the third quarter of 2010.

Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to CAD$ 1,165,045 compared to a Net Income of CAD$ 810,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. When Net Income is adjusted for non cash items on the Income Statement (before changes in non-cash working capital), the cash generated from operating activities amounted to CAD$ 2,001,466 for the first nine months of 2011 compared to CAD$ 1,538,537 for the first nine months of 2010.

The main reason for the improved results was the higher gold prices achieved together with increased production at its Northern Ireland subsidiary during 2011. Gains were partially offset, however, by an increase in costs during the two intervals.

Production at the Omagh mine during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was well above production levels achieved during both the first quarter of 2011 and the corresponding third quarter of 2010 but below the record quarterly production achieved during the second quarter of 2011. The three and nine-month figures to September 30, 2011 and their comparative 2010 figures are summarized in the table below.

The 2011 production figures and metal contents are provisional and subject to averaging or umpiring provisions under the concentrate off take agreement detailed in a press release dated October 3, 2007.

Highlights of the 2011 third quarter and first nine months results, which are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CAD$), are:

During the third quarter, Omagh Minerals Limited (‘OML’) received an environmental compliance study conducted by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. The report confirmed that OML continued to be within terms of its consent and met the relevant Environmental Quality Standards.

The Company notes that a further delay has been introduced into the planning process regarding road transport of surplus rock. The application is recommended for approval by the Planning Service, Department of Environment, Northern Ireland but has not yet been determined. OML does not have clarity as to a timetable for removal of surplus rock, for which storage at the mine site is limited. Consequently an employment review is continuing which is likely to lead to a reduction in the number of employees, via redundancy procedures (after statutory consultation is complete), due to a switch to the processing of lower grade material.

An active program of drilling is taking place to assess the gold and silver mineralisation at depth on the Omagh property in order to examine potential for underground mining. During 2011 (to the end of the third quarter), a total of 2558.6 metres has been drilled and a total of 33 drill holes completed. Detailed financial studies have been carried out to estimate the cost of underground development and these studies will be released in conjunction with a revised resource report for the property. The report will comment upon the financial studies and be to a standard suitable for publication in Canada (National Instrument 43-101). An interim report is scheduled for late spring 2012.

Plans to develop an underground mine are at an advanced stage and are expected to be submitted for permitting around the end of 2011. The plans include a cut and cover adit within the backfilled open pit (being currently worked), with a spiral decline to the base of a proposed Phase 1 Underground Mine, and a raise-bored shaft to provide emergency egress and ventilation. The principal mining method proposed is shrinkage-stoping and long term stability will be assured by backfilling with waste rock and clean tailing sands. Potentially the mine may progress to deeper levels than that planned for Phase 1 but this will be subject to the identification of further resources by drilling. The current drilling program is designed to identify resources to approximately 350 metres below surface, for a potential Phase 1 mine. Permitting procedures have been commenced in conjunction with continued drilling to enable an earlier determination of planning permits.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), based upon new data and that from 14 years of environmental monitoring, is being drawn up to be submitted to Planning Service, Northern Ireland. The EIA considers the processes involved, including impact on water, air and noise, amongst other environmental factors.

The detailed results and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) are available on www.sedar.com and www.galantas.com and the highlights in this release should be read in conjunction with the detailed results and MD&A. The MD&A provides an analysis of comparisons with previous periods, trends affecting the business and risk factors.
