ADDITIONAL HIGH GOLD GRADES DISCOVERED AT CLONTIBRET

Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc (AIM: CGNR) is pleased to report significant gold intersections from the seventh and eighth drill holes completed in the current (2018) drilling programme on the Company’s 100% owned Clontibret gold deposit.

Highlights:

Significant Gold Intercepts and Grades:

  • 4.0m @ 7.4 g/t Au (including 1.0m @ 24.4 g/t Au)
  • 7.5m @ 2.2 g/t Au (including 1.1m @ 11.9 g/t Au)
  • 2.0m @ 5.3 g/t Au
  • 3.0m @ 2.2 g/t Au

These results relating to new drill holes 7 and 8, totalling 402.7m, intersected 10 and 6 gold lodes respectively, with high grade gold and wide intersections.

This drilling programme is focused on the Clontibret gold deposit in the southwest of the Clay Lake - Clontibret gold target where a JORC compliant resource of 517,000 ounces of gold is defined on 10% of the Clay Lake - Clontibret gold target (announced by the Company on 28 July 2017). 

Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman commented: 

“Once again the new drill results confirm further high gold grades with wide intersections. We look forward to providing further updates in the near future.”
