Conroy (AIM: CDG), the gold exploration and development company focused on
Ireland, announces that it has conditionally raised £1.8 million, prior to
expenses, through a combination of a placing (the "Placing") of 25,833,333
ordinary shares of EUR 0.03 in the capital of the Company (the "Placing
Shares") at a price of 6 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") and a
subscription (the "Subscription") for 4,166,667 ordinary shares of EUR 0.03 in
the capital of the Company (the "Subscription Shares") at a price of 6 pence
per Subscription Share (the "Subscription Price"). In addition, Professor
Richard Conroy, Chairman of the Company, has capitalised loans amounting to £
600,000 by subscribing for 10,000,000 ordinary shares of EUR 0.03 in the
capital of the Company at the Placing Price (together with the Placing Shares
and Subscription Shares set out above ("New Shares")).

Following the admission of the New Shares, Professor Richard Conroy will hold
50,377,639 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 21.9 per
cent. of the Company's enlarged share capital and total voting rights. In
addition, Mr Seamus Fitzpatrick, a Non-Executive Director of the Company,
subscribed for 136,667 Ordinary Shares in the Placing. On admission, Mr
Fitzpatrick will hold 315,667 ordinary shares in the Company, representing 0.14
per cent. of the Company's enlarged share capital and total voting rights.

The Placing Shares were placed with institutional and retail investors by XCAP
Securities Plc ("XCAP"). The Placing and Subscription are conditional, inter
alia, on admission of the Placing and Subscription Shares to trading on AIM and
the Enterprise Securities Market operated by the Irish Stock Exchange Limited
("ESM"). The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing issued ordinary
shares of EUR 0.03 in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription,
amounting to approximately £1,675,000, primarily to fund the Company's ongoing
programmes at its Clontibret and nearby Clay Lake gold targets and for working
capital generally.

The debt capitalisation by Professor Conroy is considered to be a Related Party
Transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies and under Rule 13 of
the ESM Rules. With the exception of Professor Richard Conroy, the Company's
directors consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser and
the Company's ESM adviser, that the terms of the debt capitalisation are fair
and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Application has been made to AIM and ESM for the New Shares to be admitted to
trading. Admission and trading in the New Shares are expected to commence on 5
November 2010.

On admission of the 40,000,000 New Shares, the Company will have 230,464,487
Ordinary Shares in issue in total.

Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, commented:

"These monies will allow us to accelerate the development of our gold projects
in Ireland. At one of our targets, Clontibret, we already have, on 20 per cent
of the target, a resource of 1M oz, and another target, Clay Lake, has, we
believe, even larger potential.

"Additional drilling will be carried out on both licence areas and we will
continue with the scoping and environmental studies at Clontibret."
