Irish mineral exploration firm Connemara Mining has said there is a good prospect of recoverable gold deposits at its licences on the border of counties Wicklow and Wexford, adding that it could start drilling in the coming months.

Connemara Mining, the Irish AIM-listed zinc explorer chaired by businessman John Teeling, has announced the commencement of drilling on licences it holds in Co Tipperary.

Connemara Mining has completed an airborne search for gold deposits across five license areas in Wicklow and Wexford.
