ADDITIONAL WIDE GOLD ZONES INTERSECTED IN STEP OUT DRILL PROGRAMME AT CLAY LAKE
· 80 metres gold zone intersection at 0.5 g/t gold including 9 metres at 1.0
g/t gold
· 32 metres gold zone intersection at 0.7 g/t gold with grades up to 3.1 g/t
gold
Conroy Gold and Natural Resources PLC (AIM: CGNR) is pleased to announce assay
results from two further drill holes in its step out drill programme on the
Derryhennet section of its Clay Lake gold target in County Armagh, Northern
Ireland. The results included an 80.0 metre gold zone intersection at 0.5 g/t
gold including 9.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold and a 32.0 metre gold zone
intersection at 0.7 g/t gold with grades up to 3.1 g/t gold. The drilling
programme is being carried out in conjunction with the Company's joint venture
partner, Demir Export A.Ş ("Demir Export").
The first drill hole, CGA-22-003, was drilled to a down hole depth of 201.0
metres and intersected 32.0 metres grading 0.7 g/t gold, with grades going up to
3.1 g/t gold, from a down hole depth of 105.0 metres.
The second drill hole, CGA-22-004, was drilled to a down hole depth of 317.5
metres and intersected 80.0 metres at 0.5g/t gold, including 9.0 metres at 1.0
g/t gold, from a depth of 33.0 metres.
The drill holes indicate significantly wide and shallow mineralised zones.
The 80.0 metre intersection in the second drill hole is c.100m to the southwest
of where the Company intersected 100.0 metres at 0.6 g/t gold, at a depth of
26.4 metres, which is believed to be the longest continuous gold intersection in
the British Isles. Both drill holes were on the same drill section line and,
together with previous drilling on the Clay Lake gold target, demonstrate both
continuity of the gold stockwork zone and that the gold mineralisation remains
open.
The continued intersection of wide zones of gold mineralisation in the very
large Clay Lake gold target extends for 3km in length, and is in many areas 2km
in width, and as such indicates its potential for high tonnage and overall gold
content.
The Clay Lake gold target is situated in the northern eastern section of the
65km Orlock Bridge gold trend. The Orlock Bridge gold trend is one of two
district scale gold trends, (the other being the Skullmartin gold trend, 10km to
the south) which the Company has discovered in the Longford- Down Massif in
Ireland. A series of gold targets, including Clay Lake, have been discovered
along both gold trends.
Intercepts from the two drill holes (totalling c.518.5m) at the Clay Lake gold
target include:

All samples were analysed by ALS (OMAC Laboratories) Loughrea using Au-ICP21 (Au
by fire assay and ICP-AES 30g sample).
This release has been approved by Kevin McNulty PGeo, who is a member of the
Company's technical staff and holds a BSc/MSc in Geology and Remote Sensing, in
accordance with the guidance note for Mining, Oil & Gas Companies issued by the
London Stock Exchange in respect of AIM Companies, which outlines standards of
disclosure for mineral projects.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, commented:
"These excellent results re-affirm the potential of the Clay Lake gold target
for both high tonnage and overall gold content and taken in conjunction with the
sheer size of the target indicate that the Clay Lake gold target could be, in
the Board's view, of world class significance."
