agreement (“Loan Agreement”) for £347,000 (approximately C$ 562,930) (the “Loan”) with

confidence in Galantas, and their willingness to support us in our mission to unlock further value
for shareholders by expanding our exploration footprint to the high -potential, Gairloch gold -
bearing volcanogenic massive sulphide district in Scotland, that has largely been
underexplored.”
