Drill Results from Clay Lake Gold Target

Continuity of gold stockwork zone demonstrated to the Northeast

Gold stockwork zone remains open to the Northeast and Southwest

Conroy Gold and Natural Resources PLC (AIM: CGNR) is pleased to announce assay results from a further three drillholes in the Derryhennet section of the Clay Lake gold target in the Longford - Down Massif. The results included a 41.5 metre gold zone at 0.5 g/t gold with grades up to 3.1 g/t gold. The drillholes reported are part of a step out drilling programme on the Company's C1/19 Mines Royal option in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The drilling programme is being carried out in conjunction with the Company's Joint Venture partner, Demir Export A.Ş ("Demir Export").

The Clay Lake gold target is situated in the north eastern section of the 65Km, district scale Orlock Bridge gold trend, which the Company has discovered. It extends for over 3Km in length and is, in places, 2Km in width and has a gold-in-soil footprint covering over 220 hectares which is the largest gold-in-soil target identified to date in the Longford-Down Massif.

The Clay Lake gold target is divided into five sub areas or sections; Camagh, Cargalisgorran, Derryhennet, Listarkelt and Tivnacree. (The Derryhennet section is approximately 1.2Km in length and 2Km in width and covers over 100 hectares).

Previous drilling, by the Company, in the Derryhennet sub area has yielded outstanding results. These included what is believed to be the longest continuous gold-in-bedrock intersection in the British Isles - 100m @ 0.6 g/t Au. This intersection included 11.5m @ 1.5 g/t Au and 10.3m @ 1.4 g/t Au. Other drilling results at Derryhennet have included 63m @ 0.6 g/t Au (including 9.0m @ 1.5 g/t Au), and 52.5m @ 0.5 g/t Au.

The current step out drilling programme comprises of eight drillholes (c.2,000m). One drillhole in the programme which included 40.5m @ 1.2 g/t Au has already been reported (as announced 6 March 2023).

The assay results now reported include a 41.5 metre gold zone grading 0.5 g/t gold intersected in one drillhole with grades going up to 3.1 g/t gold and have also demonstrated continuity of the gold stockwork zone to the Northeast.

The gold stockwork zone remains open to the Northeast and Southwest.

The eight drillhole step out programme is ongoing with four drillholes remaining to be completed and assayed.

Overall the drilling results on the Derryhennet sub area of the Clay Lake gold target indicate potential for high tonnage and gold content.

Further results will be reported in due course.

Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, commented:

"The step out drilling programme on the Derryhennet section of the Clay Lake gold target is highly encouraging with additional wide zones of gold mineralisation intersected further indicating the overall gold potential of the Clay Lake gold target".
