Trading Statement

Galantas Gold Corporation 01 May 2008 GALANTAS GOLD CORPORATION TSX Venture Exchange: GAL London Stock Exchange AIM: GAL Trading Statement Dated: 01 May 2008 Galantas Gold Corporation ('Galantas' or the 'Company') has announced audited results for the year ending 2007. Total Revenue for the year was C$654,142 and produced a net Loss of C$2,165,656 after tax. Shipments of gold concentrate were reduced in the fourth quarter due to a shortage of ore and a scheme was put in place to make more ore accessible. Cash flow in the quarter was also reduced by the shipment of three containers of gold concentrate to a specialist refiner for the production of certified Irish gold jewellery metal. The results for the full year are summarised as follows :- Gold Concentrate Sales* : C$ 619,434 Total Sales : C$ 654,142 Cost of Concentrate Sales : C$ 862,709 Gross Margin Loss **(concentrate) C$(243,275) Production : 376.8 (wet tonnes) *Concentrate sales do not include four containers sent for separate gold processing to jewellery metal. **Reflects higher amortization costs The concentrate produced in the quarter is calculated to contain, using provisional assays all of which have not yet been agreed with the customer, approximately 29.6 kgs (950.8 troy ounces) of gold, 69.0 kgs(2,219.0 troy ounces) of silver and 27.4 tonnes of lead. The metal quantities are provisional and subject to change. A number of measures to enhance profitability, described in an Operational Update of 31st March 2008, have been put in place. These are designed to increase the amount of ore available from the open pit, reduce the dilution of ore with adjacent barren country rock, improve mill handling / crushing and increase the grade of gold concentrate shipped. Results demonstrated to date in April give management cautious optimism that the measures described are showing signs of success in the achievement of their designed objectives, although it will require the results of a full quarter before a proper appraisal can be made. The results to date in April indicate that sufficient ore has been available for parts of the month to run the process plant for prolonged periods at between approximately 8 and 9 tonnes per hour. The gold grade of ore fed to the mill has improved and is estimated at between 8 and 9 grammes per tonne (g/t) of gold***. Concentrate grades are currently on an increasing trend, with recent shipments estimated to contain gold between 100 and 110 g/t gold***. The greatest hurdle to maintaining the rate of improvement is considered to be in the area of pit development and this continues to receive management focus. ***The results are the product of back calculation and include the use of estimates that, of their nature, contain uncertainties.
