Final Results

20 November 2007 Conroy Diamonds and Gold Plc ("CDG" or the "Company") Final results for the year ended 31 May 2007 Chairman's Statement I have great pleasure in presenting your Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the twelve months ended 31 May 2007. Your Company's gold assets in Ireland have never been more attractive, with the gold price rising significantly so far this year, and seemingly poised to go even higher in the not too distant future. So far we have outlined a substantial gold resource on a small part of one target, with gold mineralisation also identified in the remainder of this target. In addition, along a 50km trend of our licences, we have several other targets in which bedrock gold has been identified, and these offer similar, or greater, potential. Clearly, this brings your Company closer to meeting its objective of establishing a producing gold mine. A 500,000oz JORC-compliant gold resource at an average depth of less than 150m, in a politically stable country, with a mining tradition, excellent infrastructure, a skilled workforce and only 90 minutes by road from a capital city: surprising as it might seem, this is what your Company has found in Ireland. The resource occupies only 20 per cent. of the first target to be investigated in detail, namely Clontibret. Preliminary drilling over the remaining 80 per cent. shows clear evidence of gold mineralisation being present. The mineralisation also remains open at depth. Further work in this area will almost certainly increase this resource substantially, so the 500,000oz figure should be regarded a bare minimum. This point was emphasised in a mid-2007 review commissioned from Objective Capital, a leading independent UK corporate research group, which stated that "The resource is sufficiently defined to support the modelling of a hypothetical mine plan." It therefore represents a significant step both towards establishing a gold mine at Clontibret and a new gold province in the region. Your Company's licences cover an area of 1,500km2 and form a continuous block ofground stretching from Co Down to Co Cavan, a distance of over 110km. Within a 50km2 area, centred on Clontibret and now defined as the Armagh-Monaghan Gold Belt, your Company has outlined several other similar targets on which gold-in-bedrock has been identified. Early stage exploration to the south-west of the Armagh-Monaghan Gold Belt has also identified two further areas, the Central Structural Zone and Slieve Glah, with potential for significant gold mineralisation. Your Company is also active in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt in Finland. This belt hosts several gold mines including Agnico-Eagle's 2.5 million oz Suurikuusikko mine and ScanMining's Pahtavaara mine, an underground operation north of the Arctic Circle mining an average gold grade of 2.7grammes/tonne. In the Sodankyla area, where your Company holds several licences, two major fault systems converge and provide the structural controls needed to host mineralisation. Several gold-in-soil anomalies are present and your Company considers it to be an area of major potential. The strategy of your Company in Finland is to identify economic gold deposits and ultimately increase shareholder value. Financials The loss after taxation for the year ended 31 May 2007 was €375,059 and the net assets as at 31 May 2007 were €6,520,516. During the year your Company acquired the gold interests of Conroy Plc, which included a number of claims (licence areas) in Finland which have potential gold prospects and an extensive database. The purchase consideration of € 1,000,000 was satisfied by the issue of 19,294,286 ordinary shares of €0.03 each. The directors have not been taking their fees or other remuneration from the Company since 1 September 2005 thus enabling the Company's exploration work on the ground to progress on a greater scale and more rapidly. The directors have agreed to waive their entitlement to all amounts due up to 30 November 2007. The amount involved is €631,693 (£437,684). After careful consideration, and discussions with the Company's advisors, the Board has decided, subject to ratification by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, to issue a total of 29,805,123 warrants to the individual directors for nil consideration exercisable over 10 years at a subscription price of €0.0433 (Stg3p per share). A resolution to this effect has therefore been included in the agenda for the AGM. The number of warrants proposed to be issued to each director is as follows: Name of Warrant Holder Number of Warrants R.T.W.L. Conroy 12,119,845 M.T.A. Jones 8,667,170 J.P. Jones 5,130,291 L.J. Maguire 1,006,861 M.E. Power 1,006,861 H.H. Rennison 1,006,861 C.D. Wathen 507,641 S.P. FitzPatrick 359,593 I welcome this action by the directors as it represents a strong vote of confidence in your Company and its prospects. In the light of the excellent exploration results achieved to date, your directors are considering how best to fund your Company's activities going forward. Options being studied include joint venture and farm-out, as well as such other arrangements as may be appropriate for advancing the interests of your Company. Electronic Communication An amendment to the Articles of Association is proposed to enable electronic communication to become another method of communication for the Company in so far as the law permits. Shareholders will continue to be entitled to ask the Company to provide a paper copy of any information which has been provided electronically. Auditors I would like to take the opportunity of thanking the partners and staff of Deloitte & Touche for their services to your Company during the course of the year. Directors, Consultants and Staff. I would like to express my deep appreciation of the support and dedication of the directors, consultants and staff, which has made possible the continued progress and success which your Company has achieved. I am very pleased to welcome Seamus FitzPatrick to our Board. His extensive financial experience will be a most valuable asset in helping your Company to advance and develop its gold projects in Ireland and Finland. Future Outlook I believe that your Company is about to open up an important new gold province in Ireland and that our exploration strategy which as the Objective Capital report states "has been highly effective" could yield several multi million ounce gold deposits.

Publication of non-statutory accounts The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement are abbreviated accounts as defined in Section 19 of the Companies (Amendment) Act 1986. The financial information for the period ended 31 May 2007 have been extracted from the Company's financial statements to that date which have received an unqualified auditors' report but have not yet been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. 2. Earnings per share The calculation of the loss per ordinary share of €0.0038 (2006 - Earnings € 0.0048) is based on the loss for the financial year of €375,059 (2006 - Profit €354,153) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of 97,643,184 (2006 - 73,257,473). Since the Company incurred a loss the effect of share options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. 3. Dividends No dividends were paid or are proposed in respect of the period ended 31 May, 2007. 4. Copy of Accounts A copy of the Annual Report and Accounts will be sent to all shareholders shortly and will be available from the Company's registered office, 10 Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin 2.
