Galantas Gold Corporation has appointed mining contractor QME to develop the access and exploration drives to the Joshua vein at its Cavanacaw gold project in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
PROGRAMME
The agreement with the Canadian company’s subsidiary Flintridge Resources Ltd will see QME begin 600 metres of underground development in January 2023 with completion due in May 2023.
This will be followed by access drives to two mining levels at the Joshua vein in Q3 2023.
PRODUCTION
“This project is very exciting on two major fronts – to allow early detailed exploration drilling at depth on the Joshua Vein and simultaneously increase production capability from the Joshua vein to supplement production from the Kearney vein,” said Galantas chief executive Mario Stifano.
“This will greatly assist in fully defining resources at the Joshua vein while bringing the Omagh mine to a stable level of production.”
