‘Gold content’ at border mine

Conroy Gold and Natural Resources has moved a significant step closer to realising its goal of establishing a second gold mine in the border region.

The Dublin-based firm is on course to establish Ireland’s first commercial gold mine at its Clontibret prospect in Monaghan over the next three years.

The company yesterday announced that an independent structural study at its Clay Lake target in Armagh has suggested the potential for “high tonnage and overall gold content”.
