Highlights of comments made by John Teeling,
the Chairman of Connemara Mining, at the Annual General Meeting
held in Dublin at 12 noon on 8th July 2009
|
• |
Ireland continues to demonstrate that it is an exciting base metal province, with excellent exploration results being reported from a number of explorers. |
|
• |
The principal focus is on the Limerick / Clare region where three zinc discoveries are being explored, the Connemara / Teck Cominco discoveries at Stonepark and Stonepark North, the Minco / Xstrata ongoing exciting discoveries at Pallas Green, and the recently reported Belmore / Lundin discovery in Clare. |
|
• |
Drilling is scheduled to start later this month on the Connemara ground in Limerick, where Teck Cominco are operators and hold a 75% interest. The focus is to develop the size of the Stonepark and Stonepark North zinc lenses and to test new anomalies on the 16 licenses. |
|
• |
Connemara is the fourth largest exploration ground holder in Ireland with a portfolio of what we believe are high potential licenses. |
|
• |
Work is continuing on the Castlemaine block where good results are being found. |
|
• |
Extensive geophysical and geochemical work is ongoing on our other licenses. |
|
• |
The recent revival in the zinc price to a level that is economic for Irish projects is welcome. |
|
• |
All resolutions were passed at the meeting. |
