Galantas Gold Corporation
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. Going Concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that Galantas Gold
Corporation (the "Company") will be able to realize assets and discharge
liabilities in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going
concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available
information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve
months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making
its assessment, of uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast
doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
future viability depends on the consolidated results of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries Gairloch Resources Limited ("Gairloch") incorporated
on November 16, 2023 and Cavanacaw Corporation ("Cavanacaw"). Cavanacaw has a
100% shareholding in Galántas Irish Gold Limited ("Galántas"), Flintridge
Resources Limited ("Flintridge") who are engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh, Northern
Ireland and Omagh Minerals Limited ("Omagh") who are engaged in the
exploration of gold properties, mainly in the Republic of Ireland. The Omagh
mine has an open pit mine, which was in production until 2013 when production
was suspended and is reported as property, plant and equipment and as an
underground mine which having established technical feasibility and commercial
viability in December 2018 has resulted in associated exploration and
evaluation assets being reclassified as an intangible development asset and
reported as property, plant and equipment.
The going concern assumption is dependent on forecast cash flows being met,
further financing negotiations being completed together. Management'
assumptions in relation to future financing, levels of production, gold prices
and mine operating costs are crucial to forecast cash flows being achieved.
Should production be significantly delayed, revenues fall short of
expectations or operating costs and capital costs increase significantly,
there may be insufficient cash flows to sustain day to day operations without
seeking further finance.
Based on the financial projections which have been prepared for a five-year
period and using assumptions which management believes to be prudent,
alongside ongoing negotiations with both current and prospective investors and
creditors, management believes it is appropriate to prepare the unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements on the going concern
basis.
Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing the above, there would be
significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that would result if forecast cash flows were not
achieved, if the existing creditors withdrew their support or if further
financing could not be raised from current or potential investors.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company raised gross proceeds of
$3M through the issuance of shares to investors and $3.5M through the issuance
of convertible debentures.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had a deficit of $81,277,545 (December 31,
2023 - $79,032,310). Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024
was $1,973,150 (six months ended June 30, 2023 - $2,123,213). These conditions
raise material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt as to whether
the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. However, management
believes that it will continue as a going concern. However, this is subject to
a number of factors including market conditions. These unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and financial
position classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern
assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.
2. Incorporation and Nature of Operations
The Company was formed on September 20, 1996 under the name Montemor Resources
Inc. on the amalgamation of 1169479 Ontario Inc. and Consolidated Deer Creek
Resources Limited. The name was changed to European Gold Resources Inc. by
articles of amendment dated July 25, 1997. On May 5, 2004, the Company changed
its name from European Gold Resources Inc. to Galantas Gold Corporation. The
Company was incorporated to explore for and develop mineral resource
properties, principally in Europe. In 1997, it purchased all of the shares of
Omagh which owns a mineral property in Northern Ireland, including a
delineated gold deposit. Omagh obtained full planning and environmental
consents necessary to bring its property into production.
The Company entered into an agreement on April 17, 2000, approved by
shareholders on June 26, 2000, whereby Cavanacaw, a private Ontario
corporation, acquired Omagh. Cavanacaw has established an open pit mine to
extract the Company's gold deposit near Omagh, Northern Ireland. Cavanacaw
also has developed a premium jewellery business founded on the gold produced
under the name Galántas. As at July 1, 2007, the Company's Omagh mine began
production and in 2013 production was suspended. On April 1, 2014, Galántas
amalgamated its jewelry business with Omagh.
On April 8, 2014, Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge. Following a strategic review
of its business by the Company during 2014 certain assets owned by Omagh were
acquired by Flintridge.
On November 16, 2023, Gairloch was incorporated.
The Company's operations include the consolidated results of Gairloch,
Cavanacaw, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Omagh, Galántas and Flintridge.
The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV")
and London Stock Exchange AIM under the symbol GAL. On September 1, 2021, the
Company's common shares started trading under the symbol GALKF on the OTCQX in
the United States. The primary office is located at The Canadian Venture
Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1.
3. Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations
issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
("IFRIC"). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated
financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 27,
2024 the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same
accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most
recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2023. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the
Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2024 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements.

8. Decommissioning Liability
The Company's decommissioning liability is a result of mining activities at
the Omagh mine in Northern Ireland. The Company estimated its decommissioning
liability at June 30, 2024 based on a risk-free discount rate of 1% (December
31, 2023 - 1%) and an inflation rate of 1.50% (December 31, 2023 - 1.50%). The
expected undiscounted future obligations allowing for inflation are GBP
330,000 and based on management's best estimate the decommissioning is
expected to occur over the next 5 to 10 years. On June 30, 2024, the estimated
fair value of the liability is $633,767 (December 31, 2023 - $611,452).
Changes in the provision during the six months ended June 30, 2024 are as
follows:

11. Convertible Debentures
(i) On December 20, 2023, the Company closed a $3,502,054 (US$ 2,627,000)
convertible debenture. The convertible debenture is unsecured, is for a term
of three year commencing on the date that it is issued, carries a coupon of
10% per annum and is convertible into common shares of the Company. Each
debenture consists of US$1,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible
debentures. The convertible debentures have a term of 36 months from the date
of issuance with a conversion price of US$0.255 being the equivalent of a
conversion price of $0.35 per conversion share. A four month hold period will
apply to common shares converted through the convertible debenture. The hold
period expired on April 21, 2024.
In accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures, if, at any time
following the issuance of the convertible debentures, the closing price of the
common shares of the Company on the TSXV equals or exceeds $0.70 per common
share for 10 consecutive trading days or more, the Company may elect to
convert all but not less than all of the outstanding principal amount of the
convertible debentures into conversion shares at the conversion price, upon
giving the holders of the convertible debentures not less than 30 calendar
days advance written notice. On December 20, 2026, any outstanding principal
amount of convertible debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon
shall be repaid by the Company in cash.
Interest on the principal amount outstanding under each convertible debenture
shall accrue during the period commencing on December 20, 2023 until December
20, 2026 and shall be payable in cash on an annual basis on December 31st of
each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"); provided, however, that the
first interest payment date shall be December 31, 2024. Each convertible
debenture shall bear interest at a minimum interest rate of 10% per annum (the
"Base Interest Rate"). During each interest period (an "Interest Period"),
being the period commencing on December 20, 2023 to but excluding the first
Interest Payment Date and thereafter the period from and including an Interest
Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or other
applicable payment date, the Base Interest Rate will be adjusted based on a
gold price of US$2,000 per ounce, with the Base Interest Rate being increased
by 1% per annum for each US$100 in which the average gold price for such
Interest Period exceeds US$2,000 per ounce, up to a maximum interest rate of
30% per annum; provided, however, that, without the prior acceptance of the
TSXV, the average interest rate shall not exceed 24% per annum during the term
of the convertible debentures. Any adjustment to the Base Interest Rate in
respect of an Interest Period shall be calculated based on the average gold
price quoted by the London Bullion Market Association, being the LBMA Gold
Price PM, in respect of the Interest Period ending on December 31, 2024, from
December 20, 2023 to and including December 15, 2024, and for each subsequent
Interest Period, from January 1st to and including December 15th of that year
or 15 days prior to the applicable payment date.
Melquart, an insider and control person of the Company (as defined by the
TSXV), subscribed for US$875,000. Ocean Partners, which has a common director
with the Company, acquired US$875,000 aggregate principal amount of
convertible debentures.
The Company paid a cash finder's fee of US$40,500 (CAD$53,990) and issued
158,823 non-transferable finder's warrants to Canaccord Genuity Corp. in
consideration for providing certain finder services to the Company under the
offering. Each finder warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share in
the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 per common share at
any time on or before December 20, 2026. The fair value of the 158,823 finder
warrants was estimated at $24,670 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected
volatility - 107.02%, risk-free interest rate - 3.71% and an expected average
life of 3 years.
The debentures consist of the liability component and conversion feature. Due
to the convertible debenture being denominated in US$, the conversion feature
has been presented as a non-cash derivative liability.
On the date of issuance, the fair value of the derivative liability was
estimated to be $1,495,208 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility -
95.0%, risk-free interest rate - 3.94% and an expected average life of 3
years.
As at December 31, 2023, the fair value of the derivative liability was
revalued at $1,245,627 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility -
94.9%, risk-free interest rate - 3.91% and an expected average life of 2.97
years.
On issuance the fair value of the liability component was recorded at
$2,006,846, discounted at an effective interest rate of 37%.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $153,481 which was allocated
pro-rata on the value of the conversion feature and the liability component.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded accretion
expense of $33,265 and interest expense of $29,184 as loan interest and bank
charges less deposit interest in the consolidated statement of loss.
As at June 30, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability was revalued
at $673,653 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 100%,
risk-free interest rate - 4.02% and an expected average life of 2.47 years.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded
accretion expense of $185,698 and $368,722, respectively and interest expense
of $89,863 and $178,432, respectively as loan interest and bank charges less
deposit interest in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of
loss.
During the six month ended June 30, 2024, $82,404 (US$60,000) of convertible
debenture was converted into 235,294 common shares of the Company.
(ii) On February 5, 2024, the Company announced that it closed a debt
settlement transaction, pursuant to which the Company settled US$2,711,000 of
indebtedness owing to Ocean Partners through the issuance of US$2,711,000
aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures of the Company.
The convertible debenture issued in connection with the debt settlement were
issued on substantially the same terms as the unsecured convertible debentures
closed on December 20, 2023. The convertible debentures issued pursuant to the
debt settlement are subject to a four-month hold period which will expire on
June 6, 2024.
The debentures consist of the liability component and conversion feature. Due
to the convertible debenture being denominated in US$, the conversion feature
has been presented as a non-cash derivative liability.
On the date of issuance, the fair value of the derivative liability was
estimated to be $748,337 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility -
95.0%, risk-free interest rate - 4.28% and an expected average life of 2.87
years.
The fair value of the liability component was recorded at $2,918,833,
discounted at an effective interest rate of 20%.
As at June 30, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability was revalued
at $711,443 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 100%,
risk-free interest rate - 4.02% and an expected average life of 2.47 years.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded
accretion expense of $147,497 and $252,925, respectively and interest expense
of $92,764 and $159,070, respectively as loan interest and bank charges less

17. Contingency
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Omagh
received a payment demand from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") in
the amount of $526,452 (GBP 304,290) in connection with an aggregate levy
arising from the removal of waste rock from the mine site during 2008 and
early 2009. Omagh believed this claim to be without merit. An appeal was
lodged with the Tax Tribunals Service and the hearing started at the beginning
of March 2017 and following a number of adjournments was completed in August
2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Tax Tribunals Service
issued their judgement dismissing the appeal by Omagh in respect of the
assessments. A provision has now been included in the unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements in respect of the aggregates levy
plus interest and penalty.
There is a contingent liability in respect of potential additional interest
which may be applied in respect of the aggregates levy dispute. Omagh is
unable to make a reliable estimate of the amount of the potential additional
interest that may be applied by HMRC.
18. Event After the Reporting Period
On July 10, 2024, the Company announced that it agreed in principle to a
proposal from G&F Phelps to develop a solar power facility at the
Cavanacaw Gold Mine at the Omagh Project. The two-megawatt facility, with
battery storage, is expected to significantly boost power generation on site
and provide lower cost power than existing diesel generation, at a
significantly lower carbon footprint. The proposal anticipates G&F Phelps
renting rehabilitated land comprised of former tailings cells and a filled
southern section of the former open pit. G&F Phelps is expected to provide
the majority of capital required for the project, recouping the cost from the
power generated. The proposal is subject to a detailed cost study, impact
assessment and planning permission from regulatory authorities. Surplus power
from the solar facility is expected to be exported to the local grid.
