Conroy’s zinc find may prove to be significant

CONROY Diamonds & Gold, the Irish precious metals exploration company, has made what could be a significant zinc discovery near the border.

It is the first such find for the company, which is in the midst of attempting to develop Ireland’s largest commercial gold producing mine at Clontibret in Co Monaghan.

The company said yesterday that ongoing development work on its operations around Monaghan and Armagh have located “extensive zinc-in-soil anomalies”.
