Conroy secures 7 prospecting licences

IRISH mining company, Conroy Gold & Natural Resources has been awarded seven new prospecting licences in Kilkenny, Clare and Tipperary.

The Dublin-based firm — whose main interests are currently two gold projects in Co Monaghan and Co Armagh — said the new licence areas contain similar geology to its existing geographical areas of interest.

The new licences cover a combined area of around 300 sq km and the existence of gold has previously been reported in the area.
