Conroy Gold and Natural Resources plc has discovered five additional gold anomalies from sampling along the Skullmartin gold trend in the Longford-Down massif in Ireland.

The assay results are from 265 of the 468 soil samples collected across Skullmartin on a 1km2 or 500m2 bases over the past two years.
Thirty of the regional samples had gold-in-soil assay results greater than 5 parts per billion gold up to a maximum of 82ppb gold, which led to the identification of the additional gold anomalies.
The company said that the results had extended the trend to more than 30km in length, running Northeast to Southwest.
The new anomalies of Clarebane, Knockreagh, Shanco, Taghart and Moyer add to the previously identified Creenkill in Northern Ireland and Bocks.
Conroy added said that Moyer, measuring 3km by 3km, and Shanco at 3km by 1km, cover “substantial” areas.
The company noted that the Skullmartin gold trend hosted “multiple” gold mineralisation styles.
Conroy plans further follow-up, prospecting and sampling on the anomalies.
Chairman John Sherman added: “These discoveries, while early stage, significantly support the exploration potential along the Skullmartin trend where free gold in outcrop with values of up to 123.0g/t gold have been discovered at Creenkill.”
Discovered in 2022, Skullmartin is located 20km to the south of and parallel to the Orlock Bridge gold trend.
