Conroy Gold and Natural Resources said it has found additional gold drilling targets after deep overburden sampling at the Longford-Down Massif joint venture in Northern Ireland.
The London-listed Ireland and Finland-focused mining company said Monday that 500 samples in deep overburden sampling returned values of 10 parts per billion gold, with two samples showing over 400 ppb gold.
As a result of the sampling, new drilling targets have been identified, including four new anomalous gold areas near the newly discovered Creenkill gold target in Northern Ireland.
The company said it has completed 6,000 metres drilling to date in phase 1 of the joint venture programme with Demir Export.
“This deep overburden programme has substantially raised the prospectiveness of each of the five areas surveyed. The collection of over 1,500 samples and resultant data has yielded extensive information for follow up drilling which we will pursue in partnership with Demir Export,” Chairman Richard Conroy said.
