Conroy’s Cavan prospect glitters

The Dublin-headquartered company announced yesterday that assay results at Slieve Glah enlarged the size of its existing two gold targets and found two new targets. The two new targets are both over three kilometres in length. The assay results showed a range of four-to-over-300 parts of gold per billion soil particles.

The significance of those figures is that in Ireland, anything over 10 units is considered “highly anomalous” in soil samples and typically proves positive for gold-in-bedrock during follow-up drilling.
