Conroy Diamonds and Gold is a natural resources company focused on gold exploration and development in Ireland. It has over 1 million ounces of gold identified at its Clontibret resource, and is moving towards a scoping study to advance mine development there. The company also recently discovered gold at its Clay Lake target and has identified larger exploration targets across its 400 square mile license area that could potentially contain 15-20 million ounces of gold based on conceptual studies. Conroy is advancing exploration and development work across its portfolio to realize the potential of its gold assets in Ireland.

Discovery of Gold Anomaly extending 2km by 1km (c.141 ha/350 acres). Grades averaging over 50ppb gold‐in‐soil, with
six samples between 100ppb and 1,531ppb (1.53g/t). The surface area is greater than that of Clontibret (c.125 ha/310
acres) and the gold‐in‐soil concentrations are twice the average of those recorded at Clontibret. Clay Lake is located in
Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland, 4½ miles North‐East of Clontibret.
October 2009 – Zinc‐in‐soil Anomaly – values up to 4,047ppm
New zone of Zinc anomalies to the south of Clay Lake identified, with values up to 4,047ppm zinc‐in‐soil.
January 2010 – First Drilling at Clay Lake – 63m@0.62g/t (inc. 9m@1.48g/t Au)
Broad zone of gold mineralisation discovered at Clay Lake. Results are the first initial tests of the target using diamond
drilling. 310m drilled in two inclined holes in the North‐West of the Target anomaly. Wide zone of mineralisation and
quartz stockwork intersected. The 63m intersection also carried silver values of up to 2.5g/t.
February 2010 – Wardrop commence Scoping Study at Clontibret 1m+ oz Resource
Major Step towards Mine Development. The study will report using JORC standards and guidelines.
Work will include Geology, including Regional Geology, Resource Review, Deposit Types and Mineralisation; Mine Plan

Management, Capital and Operating Costs Estimates and Financial Analysis.

Developments ‐ 2009/2010 Conroy Diamonds and Gold
11. Conceptual Studies Suggest 15 ‐ 20m Ounce Gold Potential
The Company’s technical staff now believe, on the basis of the one million ounce gold resource outlined
at Clontibret, the potential of the remaining 80 per cent of that target, the new discovery at Clay Lake
and other large gold‐in‐soil anomalies that have been outlined elsewhere on the Company’s exploration
licences in Ireland, that the total gold potential on these licences, although conceptual in nature, now lies
in the 15‐20 million ounce range.

Clontibret
Whilst there has been insufficient

that further exploration will result in a
resource of this magnitude being realised,

Local Geology and Host Rock : Arenites (sandstones), and Argillites (shales) striking E/W, with
prominent cross cutting faults striking NNE
Gold mineralisation at Clontibret
occurs in two styles within quartz/
carbonate veins:
High grade lode‐style mineralisation
associated with a series of cross‐cutting
(NNW trending) fault structures
Disseminated gold, associated with
sulphides in a stockwork zone largely
within an arenite (sandstone) sequence
The map shows contours of gold‐in‐soil. The red
areas are above 10ppb which is anomalous for
gold, the orange areas above 20ppb.

IN PROGRESS
(WARDROP) c. 18 months
Scoping studies ‐ The studies will involve a preliminary mine plan, and are the basis for determining whether or not to
proceed forward with more detailed engineering work. Work includes Geology, including Regional Geology, Resource
Review, Deposit Types and Mineralisation; Mine Plan and Production, Metallurgy and Plant Design,
Infrastructure/Utilities and Ancillary Facilities, Mine Water and Waste Management, Capital and Operating Costs
Estimates and Financial Analysis. The costs of development forecasted by the study are accurate to within 40‐50%.
Environmental studies will form an intrinsic part of the scoping process.
Pre‐feasibility studies ‐ more detailed than scoping studies. A pre‐feasibility study is used in due diligence work,
determining whether or not to proceed with a detailed feasibility study and to determine areas within the project that
require more attention. Pre‐feasibility studies are done by factoring known unit costs and by estimating gross dimensions
or quantities once conceptual or preliminary engineering and mine design has been completed. Pre‐feasibility studies are
completed by a small group of multi‐disciplined technical individuals and have an accuracy within 20‐30%.
Feasibility studies ‐ the most detailed and will determine definitively whether or not to proceed. A detailed feasibility
study will be the basis for capital appropriation, and will provide the budget figures for the project. Detailed feasibility
studies require a significant amount of formal engineering work are accurate to within 10‐15%.
