The drilling programme is being carried out in conjunction with the Company's joint venture partner, Demir Export A.Ş (\"Demir Export\").\n \nThe drill programme was designed to confirm the immediate down dip continuity of the gold mineralised structure reported on 5 June 2023.\n \nThe mineralised structure was previously trenched over a strike length of approximately 135m and has now been drilled over a strike length of approximately 100m and traced approximately 10m down dip. It remains open along strike and to depth. Drilling is continuing and further announcements will be made in due course.\n \nIntercepts from the initial six shallow drillholes include:\n \n\n0.50m @ 11.5 g/t Au\n1.20m @ 3.8 g/t Au (including 0.90m @ 4.7 g/t Au)\n0.35m at 3.1 g/t Au\n0.35m @ 2.4 g/t Au \n0.25m at 1.4 g/t Au\n0.50m @ 0.3 g/t Au \n(Only intercepts of 0.3 g/t or greater are presented)\n \nThis drilling was undertaken on the newly identified Skullmartin Fault gold trend which is separate from and lies 20km to the south of the 65km long Orlock Bridge gold trend which hosts the Clontibret and Clay Lake gold deposits.\n \nAll samples were analysed by ALS (OMAC Laboratories) Loughrea using Au-ICP21 (Au by fire assay and ICP-AES 30g sample).\n \nTo gain further understanding of the gold deportment, two sample pulps (0.25m at 1.4g/t Au and 0.35m at 3.1g/t Au) underwent additional analysis with assay method Au-SCR24, with the total gold reported being at similar levels of 1.2 g/t and 3.6 g/t Au. There was a significant component in the plus 100 micron fraction of the 3.1 g/t Au pulp sample which assayed 67...
