CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I have pleasure in presenting your Company's Annual Report and Financial
Statements for the 12 months ended 31 May 2012, a very successful year during
which the positive results on both financial and technical grounds from the
independent scoping study (the "Study") completed by Tetra Tech WEI Inc.
("Tetra Tech") to Joint Ore Reserves Committee ("JORC") standard indicated the
viability of your Company's proposed gold mine in Clontibret, Co. Monaghan.

Your Company now has under licence the entire 30 mile gold trend which it has
discovered in the Longford-Down Massif in Ireland. A series of significant gold
targets have been discovered by your Company along this 30 mile trend ranging
from the Clay Lake Gold target in Co. Armagh in Northern Ireland to the
Clontibret and Glenish targets in Co. Monaghan and Slieve Glah targets in Co.
Cavan in the Republic of Ireland.

Clontibret Gold Project

The updated resource evaluation (the "Evaluation") prepared by Tetra Tech on
the 20 per cent. portion of the Clontibret gold target was published in
December 2011. The Evaluation was based on a long-term gold price of US$1,372
per oz gold, used a minimum mining width of 2 metres, a cut-off grade of 0.60g/
t gold and concentrated on the high grade portions of the stockwork zones. This
gave a tonnage of 11,709,700 tonnes and over 600,000 oz at 1.60 g/t gold
(Indicated 259,956 oz gold, Inferred 341,148 oz gold). The mineral resource was
evaluated for mining potential using Whittle pit optimisation software.

The Whittle evaluation showed within a conventional open pit configuration, a
stripping ratio of 9.4, a production rate of 800,000 tonnes per annum, a gold
head grade of 1.53g/t gold, an assumed overall recovery rate of approximately
85 per cent. using a bio-oxidation process; in-situ gold averaging over 50,000
oz per annum in the first five years of mine life and a mine life of 11.2 years
with capital costs of US$77.8 million and a payback period of two years.

The economic evaluation was based on a pre-tax financial model, taking a base
case commodity price for gold of US$1,372 per ounce, giving an IRR of 49.4 per
cent. and a NPV, at an 8 per cent. discount rate, of US$72.3 million.

In March 2012, your Company announced further results from its infill drilling
programme. This phase of the infill drilling programme concentrated on further
defining the resource area within the pit area as proposed in the Study. The
results confirmed good continuity with the known mineralisation in the area.
These drill holes and the previous infill drill holes also provided
geotechnical information for mine design purposes together with ore material
for metallurgical testwork. Your Company announced subsequently that it had
signed an agreement with Gold Fields Limited to undertake mineralogical
characterisation and metallurgical test work on drill core samples provided
from its Clontibret gold project. The samples total over 350kgs of drill core
and have been dispatched to South Africa for testing. The samples are comprised
of ore grade material with a 10 per cent. dilution factor and represent a
similar grade to that expected for run of mine.

The prefeasibility metallurgical testwork will comprise Comminution, Flotation
and BIOX® Testwork. The testwork will be managed and executed by SGS South
Africa (Pty) Limited under the supervision and direction of Gold Fields
Limited. BIOX® is a well established bacterial oxidation process and Gold
Fields Limited is a world leader in this environmentally friendly, proven
technology with a number of plants currently in operation worldwide, including
South Africa, Ghana, Brazil, China and Australia. Tetra Tech who carried out
the scoping studies at Clontibret has been appointed to review the
metallurgical studies on behalf of your Company and compile the metallurgical
report for the feasibility studies.

Clay Lake Gold Target

The Clay Lake gold target is a very large gold target extending for 2 km by 1
km, (c.140 ha / 350 acres) 4.5 miles to the North-East of the Clontibret gold
target. The anomaly is named after the Clay Lake Nugget; a 30.05g nugget with a
gold content of 28g found in the 1980's which is now in the Ulster Museum.
Gold-in-soil values averaging over 50 ppb, with the highest gold-in-soil value
seen to date in the Company's licence area of 1,531 ppb gold (1.53g/t gold)
were recorded in the soil samples collected over the target area. The surface
area of the discovery is greater than that of Clontibret (c.125 ha / 310 acres)
and the gold-in soil concentrations are double the average of those recorded at
Clontibret.

Rock chip samples identified gold in bedrock which comes to the surface in the
Northern part of the Clay Lake target in the form of a black carbonaceous
stockwork. The rock chip samples in the exposed rock returned 18 metres at 0.47
g/t gold and included 3 metres at 1.30 g/t gold before the exposure ceased.

A drilling programme, in the North-Western corner of the Clay Lake target,
returned positive results identifying a 450 metre open ended zone of black
carbonaceous stockwork with the second drill hole intersecting 63 metres at
0.62 g/t gold including 9 metres at 1.48 g/t gold. Some other highlights from
this drilling included 11 metres at 1.44g/t gold, 53 metres of stockwork at
0.60g/t gold including 10.25 metres at 1.37g/t gold and 8 metres at 0.93g/t
gold including 3 metres at 2.13g/t gold.

A ground geophysical survey at Clay Lake has now been conducted by Golder
Associates, totalling 960 line metres in four survey lines over the Northern
area of the target. The survey was performed to determine the geophysical
signature of the mineralisation and hosting lithologies, together with
geological information on the subsurface features.

Strong features were seen in all four lines and interpretation of the results
depicted an anticlinal folding sequence of the gold bearing black carbonaceous
stockwork zone, which had been seen in the drill holes previously.

These geophysical results, combined with the drilling results, provide
excellent information for future drilling in particular regarding the apexes of
the anticlinal structures as mineralisation tends to accumulate in such
structures and supports the view that the Clay Lake gold target could host a
large gold deposit.

Slieve Glah Gold Target

Slieve Glah is approximately 40km South-West of Clontibret. Following a
detailed gold-in-soil survey this month, your Company announced the discovery
of a series of further large gold-in-soil targets within its Slieve Glah
licence areas in County Cavan. Two new targets (Targets 3 and 4) each over 3 km
(1.9 miles) in length were discovered. In addition the assay results of the
survey, which comprised over 900 soil samples, extended the surface area of the
two known gold targets (Targets 1 and 2) at Slieve Glah by over 1 km (0.6
miles), both now also totalling over 3 km (1.9 miles) in length. Anomalous gold
values returned from the assay analysis ranged from 4 ppb gold to over 300ppb
gold. In Ireland, over 10ppb gold is considered highly anomalous in soil
samples and during follow-up drilling and/or trenching over such anomalies
typically proves positive for gold-in bedrock.

In one of the newly discovered targets at Slieve Glah (Target 4) a highly
anomalous area has been identified which measures approximately 1,000 metres in
length by 500 metres in width, trending Northwest to Southeast. The area has
been defined by over a hundred soil samples collected on an approximately 100
metre grid. Assay analysis returned maximum gold values of up to 140ppb gold
with over 30 per cent. of the soil samples returning elevated gold values of
greater than 10ppb gold. Gold had previously been confirmed by your Company in
bedrock in the Slieve Glah target area through trenching and drilling.

The gold in soil targets identified by the soil sampling survey appear to be
structurally controlled and occur as a series of right angle zones adjacent to
the Orlock Bridge Fault, a major sinistral fault believed to be an influencing
factor on mineralisation in the region. In the Slieve Glah area the Orlock
Bridge Fault undergoes a marked swing from its normal Northeast - Southwest
strike, producing a dilatational zone allowing greater permeation and
circulation of mineralising fluids, which also may assist in concentration of
mineralisation and thus can be associated with substantial accumulations of
minerals.

Total Gold Potential

The in-house studies by your Company, though conceptual in nature, suggest that
the total gold potential of the Company's exploration licences in the
Longford-Down Massif could lie in the 15 million - 20 million ounce range. This
projection is based on the 1 million ounce JORC-compliant resource outlined in
only 20 per cent. of the Clontibret project, the potential of the remaining 80
per cent. of that target, the discovery at Clay Lake and other large
gold-in-soil anomalies that have been outlined elsewhere on its licences.
Whilst there has been insufficient exploration to date to define such a mineral
resource, and there is no certainty that further exploration will result in a
resource of this magnitude being realised, your directors believe that the
potential of the area is clear and the possibilities exciting.

Mining in Ireland

Ireland is currently a major base metal producer. There is a long established
mining tradition, a favourable business climate and excellent infrastructure.
The Conroy executive team who were involved in the discovery and development of
the Galmoy zinc ore bodies which led to the revival of the Irish base metal
industry now look forward to the development of a gold mine at Clontibret and
of a possible multi deposit gold strategy in the Longford-Down Massif.

Share Price

Your Board believes that your Company's value, as measured by the share price,
is yet to reflect the increasing value of its underlying assets as it moves
towards development and production.

Finance

The loss after taxation for the year ended 31 May 2012 was €533,262 (2011: €
427,970) and the net assets as at 31 May 2012 were €12,678,448 (2011: €11,647,817).

During the year £1,230,417 (prior to expenses) was raised by the issue of
39,944,055 shares for cash and I personally subscribed for 13,896,552 of those.
Details of the share issues are in Note 13 to the accounts.

As in previous years, I have supported the working capital requirements of the
Company. The balance of the loans due to me at the period end was €665,318. The
loans have been made on normal commercial terms. The other directors consider,
having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser and the Company's ESM
Adviser, that the terms of the loans are fair and reasonable in so far as the
Company's shareholders are concerned.

Auditors

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the partners and staff of
Deloitte & Touche for their services to your Company during the course of the
year.

Directors

I would also like to express my deep appreciation of the support and dedication
of the directors, consultants and staff, which has made possible the continued
progress and success, which your Company has achieved.

Future Outlook

Your Company has made further excellent progress in the financial year to the
31 May 2012. I look forward to the future with confidence as we move from the
exploration phase into the development phase.

unqualified auditor's report but have not yet been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies.

2. Earnings per share

The calculation of the loss per ordinary share of €0.0022 (2011 - €0.0020) is
based on the loss for the financial year of €533,262 (2011 - €427,970) and the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of
245,158,271 (2011 - 213,797,820).

would be anti-dilutive.
