TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Sept. 29, 2016) – Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GAL) (AIM:GAL) (the Company) is, via a Northern Ireland subsidiary, a Notice Party to a Judicial Review of its planning consent for an underground mine on its property at Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
The Company has been notified of a likely extension of the time required for the hearing of the Judicial Review beyond the current 27th-29th September 2016 listing dates. It is now considered likely that, because more time may be required, the Court may look to list a continuance for early December 2016.
The Company understands that the Applicant’s evidence may be heard by the end of the September listing dates. It is anticipated that the planning authorities, who, as Respondent, are defending the Judicial Review, are likely to have their defence heard at the listing in December. Pre-hearing materials have been filed with the Court and the Company stands ready to defend its planning permission, alongside the planning authorities, in a potential December listing.
Meanwhile, the Company, which holds a valid planning consent, will look to continue preparation activities on the site.
