STEP-OUT DRILLING PROGRAMME UPDATE – CLONTIBRET GOLD DEPOSIT
* Two holes in current programme drilled
* Mineralisation intersected in both drill holes
Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc (AIM: CGNR), the gold exploration and
development company focused on Ireland and Finland, is pleased to announce
that the first two drill holes of an eight-hole drilling programme that
commenced on the Clontibret Gold deposit have been drilled, as part of the
Step-Out Drilling Programme announced on 14 March 2022. Both drill holes
intersected mineralisation.
Drill hole 1 was drilled to a down hole depth of 285.8 metres and achieved its
objective of extending the Stockwork to the northeast and down dip. The
intersections also included a number of new mineralisation zones. This drill
hole has also demonstrated mineralisation in an area where there was no
surface gold-in-soil geochemical signature. Laboratory analysis of the drill
core is pending.
Drill hole 2 was drilled to a down hole depth of 179 metres. Mineralisation
was intersected at a number of levels relating to the central lodes of the ore
body and has thus extended these lodes. Again, laboratory analysis of the
drill core is pending.
Two drill rigs are on site continuing with the scheduled initial eight-hole
Joint Venture drilling programme.
Further announcements will be made as the programme progress and laboratory
results are received and analysed.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, commented:
“I am very pleased to see that the drilling programme on the Clontibret Gold
Deposit with our Joint Venture Partner Demir Export successfully intersected
new mineralisation zones in the first drill hole with the second hole
extending known mineralisation zones.
The programme is ongoing, and I look forward to providing further updates on
results from the drilling. It appears that the mineralisation is extensive
across the area and remains open in all directions, including at depth.”
This release has been approved by Kevin McNulty PGeo, who is a member of the
Company's technical staff and holds a BSc/MSc in Geology and Remote Sensing,
in accordance with the guidance note for Mining, Oil & Gas Companies issued by
