Conroy Gold and Natural Resources
plc (AIM: CGNR, ESM: CGNR.I), the gold exploration and development
company focused on Ireland and
Finland, is pleased to announce
the latest results from its drilling programme on the Clontibret
gold deposit at the southwestern part of the Company’s Clay Lake -
Clontibret gold property.
High grades and wide intersections included 0.50m at 25.85 g/t
gold in one of the already known gold zones and 5.75m grading 5.04
g/t gold in one of the newly discovered gold zones.
Five new gold zones (lodes) were discovered during the latest
drilling. Gold intersections were also made in four known gold
zones in the area, confirming continuity of these lode zones. The
deposit remains open to depth and in all directions.
The drilling focused on upgrading, at this stage to a depth of
200m, an area where previous drilling had indicated the potential
for significant widths and gold grades. Intercepts drilled
included;
- 5.00m grading 2.87 g/t gold (39m depth; New Lode ‘A’)
- 0.45m grading 3.28 g/t gold (70m depth; New Lode ‘C’)
- 5.75m grading 5.04 g/t gold (82m depth; New Lode ‘D’)
- 2.25m grading 10.47 g/t gold (96m depth Known Lode)
including
0.50m grading 25.85 g/t gold
- 1.25m grading 3.21 g/t gold (157m depth; Known Lode)
- 1.25m grading 2.40 g/t gold (187m depth; New Lode ‘E’)
(Only intercepts greater than 1 g/t gold over a 1m interval are
presented).
This release has been approved by Kevin McNulty PGeo, who is a
member of the Company's technical staff who holds a BSc/MSc in
Geology and Remote Sensing, in accordance with the guidance note
for Mining, Oil & Gas Companies issued by the London Stock
Exchange in respect of AIM Companies, which outlines standards of
disclosure for mineral projects.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman commented:
“I am delighted at these latest
excellent drilling results. The discovery of new gold zones, high
grades and wide intersections of gold add further support that the
Clay Lake – Clontibret Gold property could become a multi-million
ounce deposit.”
