Results from 2 Drill Holes at Clontibret
Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc has announced assay results from two drill holes at its Clontibret gold deposit, identifying an extensive Buddingtonite alteration zone interpreted as a potential indicator of concealed hydrothermal gold systems. Drill hole CGC-25-002 intersected multiple gold zones, including a significant interval of 3.5 metres at 4.8 g/t Au, with a high-grade sub-interval of 0.5 metres at 11.2 g/t Au, and another intersection of 1.0 metre at 16.7 g/t Au. Drill hole CGC-25-003, located approximately 50 metres north, confirmed the lateral continuity of mineralisation with six gold-bearing zones. These findings suggest the potential for additional gold mineralisation at depth and provide valuable geological insights for future exploration targeting. Disclaimer*

Buddingtonite is widely recognised as a potential pathfinder mineral associated with concealed hydrothermal gold systems and may act as a vector towards additional gold mineralisation at depth.\n \n \n \n \n \n The drill holes also intersected highly encouraging gold mineralisation across multiple zones. CGC-25-002 intersected 17 separate gold-bearing zones, highlighted by an interval of 1.0m at 16.7 g/t Au from 37.1m depth, a substantial 3.5m at 4.8 g/t Au from 123.5m (including a high-grade sub-interval of 0.5m at 11.2 g/t Au), and 2.1m at 4.2 g/t Au from 220.1m (including 0.7m at 9.6 g/t Au). CGC-25-003, drilled approximately 50 metres to the north at a steeper inclination, intersected six further gold-bearing zones, confirming the lateral continuity of mineralisation along strike.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n John Sherman, Chairman, commented:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"These la...
