  * Seamus FitzPatrick Brings Broad Experience Of Corporate/ Private Equity
    Finance
   
As AIM-listed Conroy Diamonds and Gold P.l.c moves closer to achieving its
objective of establishing economic gold deposits on its Irish licences with the
recent release of it's first JORC-compliant resource estimate, the Company is
pleased to announce that it has strengthened its Board with the appointment of
Mr Seamus Philip FitzPatrick (age 40), as a non-executive director.

He is a director of Karelian Diamond Resources PLC, CapVest Ltd, Finn Vass
Acquisitions Oy, FinnVass Swedeco AB, Finn Vass TopCo Oy, Vaseq Executive Oy,
Vaseq Manager SA, Vaasan & Vaasan and FoodVest Ltd and during the last five
years has been a director of Riva AG, Riva BV, Clear Money Ltd and Clear Bills
Limited. Mr. FitzPatrick has confirmed that there is no further information
required to be disclosed under paragraph 17 of the AIM Rules.

Welcoming Mr Fizpatrick's appointment, Chairman, Professor Richard Conroy, said
his wealth of experience in corporate finance, is particularly appropriate as
Conroy Diamonds and Gold moves into the all-important economic assessment,
financial evaluation and development of its Irish gold discoveries.

Conroy holds prospecting licences over 1500km2 of the Longford-Down Massif in
Ireland. Within a 60km2 section of this area known as the Armagh-Monaghan Gold
Belt, it has identified two gold deposits and two other zones of gold
mineralisation as well as many other areas with strongly anomalous gold-in-soil
values. Some 40km to the south-west, at Slieve Glah in County Cavan, the
Company has also outlined a second area of highly anomalous gold-in-soil
values, with gold identified in trenching. This area also lies within the
Massif, as does the intervening tract of highly prospective ground, all of
which falls within Conroy's licence area.

The Company's first JORC-compliant resource estimates, announced in January,
for one closely - drilled area covering less than 20 per cent. of it's
Clontibret target anomaly in Co. Monaghan ranged from an inferred resource of
500,000oz contained gold (12m tonnes grading 1.3g/t using a 1g/t cut-off). The
estimates include an indicated resource of 1.3 tonnes grading 1.4g/t (64,000oz
contained gold) at 1g/t cut-off.
