March 27, 2023, TORONTO, CANADA - Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 8,230,951 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of C$0.36 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,963,142.36. Each Unit was comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.55 per share until March 27, 2028. The Offering was oversubscribed.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for exploration, including follow-up drilling targeting the high-grade dilation zones to depth at the Joshua Vein and the recently identified Kerr Vein target, development at Galantas' gold project in Northern Ireland, as well as exploration at the recently announced gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide project in Scotland, and for general working capital purposes.

Canaccord Genuity Corp., Sprott Capital Partners LP, Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., Research Capital Corporation, Apex GT Capital Corp. and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Finders") acted as finders in connection with the Offering. In consideration for their services, the Company paid the Finders cash finder's fees in the aggregate amount of C$130,966.41, representing 7% of the gross proceeds generated by such Finders pursuant to the Offering. In addition, the Company also issued an aggregate of 237,162 non-transferable compensation warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to the Finders, representing 7% of the number of Units sold to subscribers identified by such Finders pursuant to the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.36 per share until March 27, 2025. In consideration for providing certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Company also paid an advisory fee to Research Capital Corporation in the amount of C$16,000.

Existing shareholder Ross Beaty acquired 1,000,000 Units for consideration of C$360,000.

Ocean Partners UK Ltd. acquired 691,666 Units for consideration of approximately C$249,000.  Following the Offering, Ocean Partners UK Ltd. will hold 3,561,113 Common Shares representing approximately 3.19% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.

Brendan Morris, an officer of the Company, subscribed for 468,416 Units under the Offering on the same terms as arm's length investors. The participation of Mr. Morris in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on the specified markets and neither the fair market value of the securities to be received by the related party nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws which will expire on July 28, 2023.

The securities offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

An application has been filed for admittance of 8,230,951 additional shares to AIM ("Admission") with Admission expected to occur on or around March 31, 2023. Following Admission, the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares will total 111,763,460.

Debt Settlement Transaction

In addition to the foregoing, further to the Company's news release dated March 21, 2023, the Company has received strong support from additional stakeholders and also announces that it has agreed to the terms of a proposed shares-for-debt transaction (the "Debt Settlement") with several additional arm's length creditors of the Company.

The securities issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Debt Settlement and the issuance of Units shall be subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. ‎There is no assurance that TSX Venture Exchange approval will be obtained. A further update will be made once the Debt Settlement has been approved.
