Death of Director
Karelian Diamond Resources PLC (AIM: KDR), the natural resource exploration
and development company focused on Ireland and Finland, announces with great
sadness that its founder and Executive Chairman, Professor Richard Conroy, has
passed away after a brief illness.
On behalf of the Board, Séamus FitzPatrick, Deputy Chairman of Karelian,
commented:
"Richard's accomplishments across the diverse range of medicine, politics and
indeed mineral exploration garnered respect from all. His entrepreneurial
and inquiring spirit was excited by the opportunities in mine exploration and
development, and his skills, honed in Zinc and Gold in Ireland, spread to
Finland where his vision of the Karelian Craton having the potential for a
significant European diamond mine is being steadily realised by the Company.
Equally, the Company's recent progress on its Copper, Nickel and
Platinum-Group-Element project in Northern Ireland held true to his belief in
the potential of Ireland to provide a European solution to the shortfall in
critical minerals necessary for a modern economy. In Karelian Diamond
Resources, we intend to continue to build on his substantial legacy and
deliver on Richard's vision for the company."
