Extracts From Chairmans statement in last finals of 10th FEB 04
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Group was formed on completion of a transaction in which the assets of
Shambhala Gold Limited and shares in Skaergaard Minerals Corporation were
acquired by Galahad Capital plc, a company quoted on the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange. This transaction was announced on 29 October 2003 and
completed on 23 December 2003. The name was changed to Galahad Gold plc on
completion.
Galahad is now a sizeable mining and development company which has the potential
to benefit from opportunities in the precious metals resource sector. It remains
Galahad's aim to own properties with resources containing a total of at least
50m ounces of precious metals gold equivalent. To date Galahad has acquired two
mining projects:
•A 21.9% shareholding (33.25% on a fully diluted basis) in Northern
Dynasty Minerals Limited which has the right to acquire 100% of the Pebble
project in Alaska USA; and
•A 100% shareholding in Skaergaard Minerals Corporation, which owns the
Skaergaard project in Greenland.
Your board believes that the Skaergaard project provides a highly-leveraged
exposure to any increase in the price of gold, platinum and palladium and the
Pebble project provides similar exposure to any increase in the price of gold
and copper.

SOULTRADER!!! Interestin article today in Mining Weekly:
Newcomer to take advantage of uranium boom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After two decades of stagnation, the uranium market is once again in an upcycle, largely owing to the increasing demand for energy on a global scale.
This boom is spawning a host of newcomers to the uranium market who are eager to take advantage of the present positive market fundamentals. Similarly, owing to the fact that there is a wealth of projects and deposits investigated more than 30 years ago but left undeveloped because of the slump in the uranium market, there are many opportunities for newcomers to establish themselves in this mineral commodity sector.
One of the more notable examples of this trend is UK-based UraMin, which was established in February 2005 by a group of well-respected individuals, including John Stalker and Sam Jonah, to take advantage of this upcycle in the uranium market. Essentially, UraMin was created for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral deposits throughout Africa, Australia and North America in order to exploit the uranium price that is rising on, what is predicted to be, a sustained basis. The company is headquartered in London but operates through its subsidiary in Johannesburg owing to the fact that UraMin has its most advanced project in Namibia and a significant number of pending prospecting licences in South Africa.
Southern African operations
Although UraMin was unable to give official comment, Mining Weekly understands that the companys operational strategy in Southern Africa has been dictated by the present fundamentals in the uranium market in that the company intends to take advant-age of the upcycle as soon as possible. It is understood that the com-pany has adopted a strategy to undertake brownfields oper- ations, rather than embarking on new exploration projects, as this will allow UraMin to get a project on line while the market is still in an upcycle.
This seems to be the philosophy behind the companys involvement with the Trekkopje uranium project in Namibia. The Trekkopje project is located in west-central Namibia, about 65 km north-east of Swakopmund and is UraMins most advanced project worldwide. The project area consists of two deposits, Trekkopje and Klein Trekkopje/Arandis, which have an estimated resource of 120,9-mil- lion/lb of uranium at an average grade of 0,013%.
The project area has been extensively explored in the past with primary drilling in mineralised areas at about 100-m to 200-m intervals along lines 400 m apart, with more closely-spaced infill drilling covering areas of better grades. Mining Weekly believes that UraMin plans to complete a feasibility study on the Trekkopje project over the next 18 months, which will be followed by construction, assuming that the results of the feasibility study are favourable. Initial capital costs for the development of the project are estimated at $181-million.
The Trekkopje feasibility study reportedly is on track for completion by the fourth quarter of 2007.
With regard to the companys activities in South Africa, Mining Weekly is aware that UraMin operates through its South African subsidiary, which is based on the joint-venture agreement between black-empowered Mago Resources and UraMin.
UraMin has a 70% shareholding in the company, while the remaining 30% is held by previously-disadvantaged individuals, making the company compliant with the BEE requirements of the mining charter. Through its 70% holding in Mago Resources, UraMin is attempting to consolidate mineral rights in the Karoo, Sutherland and the Springbok Flats regions of South Africa and, consequently, the company has applied for between 60 and 100 prospecting licences in these three areas.
Many of these applications cover known uranium deposits, which amount to a resource estimate of about 200-million/lbs.
The first of these applications went in during the second quarter of last year and are fully supported in terms of the department of Minerals and Energy (DME) requirements. It is believed that UraMin has complied with all the legal requirements in most cases, both with regard to the old- and new-order rights and, as such, there is no reason why it should not get the licences. Although, in some instances, the company is second or third in the line for these applications, it seems to remain confident that it will be granted the majority of these licences within the next few months. Although UraMin is putting a significant amount of time and energy into this application pro-cess, Mining Weekly understands that the priority of the company over the next few weeks is the imminent listing of UraMin on Londons Alternative Invest- ment Market (AIM), which will ultimately benefit the companys long-term future in the investment community.
Future Outlook
UraMin is currently undergoing a compliance listing on AIM, which is expected to be completed by the end of this month. It is understood that this listing is not a mechanism for the company to raise capital but is a means to get tradability of its equity for investors. UraMin is not listing for the purpose of raising capital at this point as the company is still using the $40-million start-up capital that was raised early last year to fund its current projects.
It is apparent that the company has all of its requirements in place for the imminent listing in that the competent persons reports (CPRs) have been done in the final form, brokers and nomads have been nominated, and all shareholders are aware that the company is doing the private placement now.
It is believed that the listing will give UraMin an opportunity to become one of the material players in the uranium industry.
However, once the listing has been completed, the priority of the company will be to prove up as much of the resource that is held by UraMin in as little time as possible. Once it has proved up reserves in the various operations, UraMin can start producing in places where the company can get maximum returns, which, at this point, is most likely to be Southern Africa.

Just a typical cynical caveat ...... shares like GLA are fine while on the upbeat, but if any selling gets a grip then you won't be able to shift enough or fast enough ..... watch out and don't get too greedy .... remember GLA only holds 17% of Uramin, which itself would seem to be something of an unknown quantity.
GLA have also probably moved upwards purely on sentiment - i.e. on the back of the rise in gold .... but whereas that was $525 at London close yesterday and $540 at opening today, it is now back to just below $520.

rightly or wrongly, and time will tell, i have just taken my profits here and will now sit back and watch ..... while it is possible that sp will soar on Monday with the start of dealings in Uramin, I have my doubts ...... The Uramin news is already well broadcast, and therefore imo already discounted (and more?) in GLA's sp.
no one ever went broke realising a profit, and it would not surprise me in the least to see GLA falling on Monday as the T10/20 and similar traders get out ..... if they start getting out in any numbers, woe betide trying to cash in your own holdings, for MMs may well not want to know.
