Successful first pass identifies substantial gold anomalies; Moyer at 3km by 3km and Shanco at 3km by 1km
Conroy Gold and Natural Resources PLC (AIM: CGNR) is pleased to report excellent results from the Company's sampling programme which has led to the discovery of five additional gold anomalies along the Skullmartin gold trend, which now extends to over 30km in length running Northeast to Southwest in the Longford - Down massif in Ireland.
The new anomalies are additional to Creenkill and Bocks, and are namely Clarebane, Knockreagh, Shanco, Taghart and Moyer. Two of the anomalies, being Moyer at 3km by 3km and Shanco at 3km by 1km, cover substantial areas. The regional programme has been very successful at first pass in identifying substantial gold anomalies for further follow up, prospecting and sampling.
The anomalies confirm the prospectivity of the Skullmartin gold trend which also hosts multiple gold mineralisation styles including disseminated visible gold in a quartz breccia outcrop at Creenkill to the north east of the trend (where the Company returned the highest gold assay results since the Company began exploration in the Longford -Down massif). The location of the discoveries are set out in the below map:
The assay results received from ALS OMAC Laboratories Limited, Loughrea were based on the selection of 265 soil samples of the 468 soil samples collected across the Skullmartin gold trend on a 1km2 or 500m2 bases (announced by the Company on 13 February 2025) as part of the licence work commitments carried out over the last 2 years. Thirty of the regional samples had gold-in-soil assay results greater than 5ppb Au up to a maximum of 82ppb Au (anomalies greater than 10ppb gold-in-soil in the Longford-Down Massif tend to be associated with gold-in-bedrock) and enabled the identification of 5 additional gold anomalies.
Mr John Sherman, the Company's Chairman, commented: "This is a positive step forward with the identification of five new gold anomalies bringing the total on the expanded 30km length Skullmartin trend to seven to date. These discoveries, while early stage, significantly support the exploration potential along the Skullmartin trend where free gold in outcrop with values of up to 123.0g/t Au have been discovered at Creenkill."
