Discovery of Extensive New Gold Target in Longford-Down Massif
Update on Drilling Programmes on Other Licences
* High gold-in-soil values
* Approximately 40 acres in extent (c.700 x c.250 metres)
* Trend similar to gold lodes in Clontibret Gold Deposit
* Drilling programme on other licences continues
Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc (AIM: CGNR), the gold exploration and
development Company focused on Ireland and Finland, is pleased to announce the
discovery of a new extensive gold-in-soil anomaly on its licence area in the
Longford-Down Massif in Ireland, where it has discovered a district scale gold
trend.
The newly discovered gold-in-soil target lies between the Company's Derryhennet
gold target, where drilling and trenching have identified significant grades
and widths of gold-in-bedrock, and the site where the Clay Lake Gold nugget was
discovered in the 1980s, with a weight of 30.05g and gold content of 28g (

The anomaly covers an area of approximately 40 acres (c.700 metres by c.250
metres) and trends north northwest - south southeast. It is aligned on a
similar trend to the gold lodes in the Clontibret gold deposit where the
Company has a (JORC 2012) gold resource of 517,000 ounces Au (320,000 oz Au
indicated and 197,000 oz Au inferred).
The discovery was made during a detailed follow up soil sampling programme,
totalling over 100 soil samples, to a regional sampling programme which had
yielded three samples with elevated (above 10ppb Au) gold-in-soil levels,
(anomalies greater than 10ppb gold-in-soil in the Longford-Down Massif tend to
be associated with gold-in-bedrock). The follow up sampling programme
identified a further fifteen samples above 10 ppb Au including one with a very
high value of 92ppb Au.
The discovery adds further to the series of gold targets in the north-eastern
area of the Company's licences in the Longford - Down Massif on which an
exploration target (JORC 2012) of 8.8 Million ounces Au has been estimated
(announced 2 August 2018), in addition to the already defined JORC compliant
gold resource of 517,000 ounces Au referred to above.
The Company's drilling programme in the Longford - Down Massif also continues.
Results are awaited from drilling at Clontibret and Cargalisgorran. Drilling
has also been completed on licence PL1870 and core samples will shortly be sent
for analysis. Drilling is in progress on licence PL2683.
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:
"This discovery highlights the continued potential for new gold discoveries on
the Company's licences in the district scale gold trend which it has discovered
in the Longford-Down Massif. The new anomaly is in addition to the series of
potentially multi million ounce gold targets already discovered by the Company
along the trend.
I look forward to receiving the results from the ongoing drilling programme on
the Company's licences and to the proposed joint venture with Demir Export A.S.
("Demir Export") progressing to final documentation."
