Cross-border gold map to benefit broad range of interests

Farmers, advisers, horticulturists and feed and agrochemical merchants will gain invaluable insights on soils from a new cross-border gold map.

The Tellus Border Project will collate geological data on new gold occurrences in places such as the Kingscourt on the Monaghan-Cavan border, Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan, Killashandra in Co Cavan, Easky in Co Sligo, several areas of the Inishowen Peninsula, and Termon, in Co Donegal.

The project will also map known gold pockets such as Clontibret in Co Monaghan, and Glentogher and Glencolumbkille in Co Donegal.
