[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n9 May 2025 Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc(\"Conroy Gold\" or \"the Company\") ANTIMONY FLOAT SAMPLES DISCOVERED IN CLONTIBRET DEPOSIT AREA \tTwo float boulders recovered from within the Clontibret gold resource footprint\tBoulders return high gold grades and encouraging pXRF results for antimony \tFurther evidence supporting new second trend of antimony in the Clontibret gold resource footprint Conroy Gold and Natural Resources PLC (AIM: CGNR) is pleased to announce it has discovered antimony-bearing float samples from its Clontibret gold deposit area in County Monaghan, Ireland. These boulders were discovered near a reported historic antimony trial pit to the northeast of the two historic antimony mines in the area, being Tullybuck and Lisglassan. During recent work in the Clontibret area, the geological team identified two float samples of antinomy mineralisation. The samples returned very high gold grades of 21.9 g/t Au and 11.2 g/t Au and results for antimony were above detection limits greater than 1% (10,000 ppb). The samples are with ALS Laboratory for detailed assaying in relation to antimony ore grade content in the samples. Encouraging preliminary analysis has already been obtained onsite using a portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) instrument, which returned indicative results in excess of 40 per cent. antimony. This work is part of follow up actions being taken by the Company to demonstrate the antimony potential of Clontibret and in particular to further evaluate the second antimony trend identified by the initial results from remodelling the Clontibret deposit (as announced by the Company on 27th February 2025). Work continues on completing the relogging of drill core from the deposit and the construction of a more robust 3D geological model, in tandem with follow up exploration activity in relation to antimony. Mr John Sherman, the Company's Chairman, commented: \"The discoveries of antimony float which show high gold grades further highlight both the antimony potential of the Clontibret deposit and its correlation to potentially high-grade gold. We are looking forward to exploring the potential of the second antimony trend identified recently to increase the scale of the gold resource within the exist...
