Some of the current drilling programme at Clontibret will form part of the technical due diligence process and assist with the planning of the proposed joint venture work programme. In this context, Demir Export has appointed consultants to facilitate carrying out work on the ground in Ireland bearing in mind the travel and other restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic which are in place both in Ireland and Turkey.
Demir Export is a long established mining company with interests in iron, coal, gold and base metals, including zinc and copper, and has a strong in-house technical team with mining and exploration expertise. It brings over 60 years of mine operating experience to bear on the project and places a strong emphasis on the adoption of international environmental, and health and safety management standards.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, commented:
“I am delighted that drilling has commenced at Clontibret. My colleagues and I are very pleased to work with the Demir Export team on the proposed joint venture partnership-Project Inis. Notwithstanding the COVID-19 restrictions progress is being made on progressing the joint venture partnership.
We believe that Demir Export has the mining expertise and the financial resources not only to bring the Clontibret gold deposit to construction ready status and into operation as a mine, but also to advance the significant gold potential of the other licences along the gold trend to the same status.”
