Conroy Gold and Natural Resources to seek ‘major’ partner to develop gold assets

Dublin-based prospector Conroy Gold and Natural Resources will seek one of the mining sector’s major players as a development partner on its gold assets in the border counties.

While the company could conceivably begin work relatively quickly on a small open pit mine around its headline prospect at Clontibret, in Co Monaghan, Conroy is expected to embark on a single big commercial mining programme linking its three large gold prospects at Clontibret, nearby Glenish and Clay Lake in Co Armagh.

The company has been undertaking a successful drilling campaign across all three areas since June.
