Highlights of the Chairman's Statement to the AGM of

Connemara Mining Plc held In Dublin at 11am Thursday 17th July 2014.

 

Connemara, the Irish based zinc and gold explorer held its annual general meeting today and at the meeting the Chairman, John Teeling, made the following remarks:

 

 

1.         After years in the doldrums there are signs that our exploration sector can look forward to better times - the zinc price is rising, the gold price is stable, $20 million has been raised by Dalradian for gold exploration in Northern Ireland and there is some interest in our assets.

 

2.         Limerick Zinc - Our partner continues a  programme of limited geophysical and lithogeochemical testing, on this drill ready block

 

3.         Oldcastle in Meath - Our partner, who is operator and spending all of the money is reviewing extensive geological, geophysical and geochemical data with the aim of focussing the drill targeting program.

 

4.         Wexford/Wicklow Gold - Our partner, Hendrick Resources, is currently undertaking a detailed soil and rock sampling program in a zone with interesting recent gold results.

 

5.         Donegal Gold - the initial exploration results showed some encouraging geochemical zones associated with our new structural/geological model for this underexplored area.  Similarites can be drawn to the Dalradian Curraghinalt structural/geological zone.

 

6.         Other Zinc Licences - We have extended our Thurles Licences to 2016 and have been awarded a new licence in Kilkenny, close to the Rapla mineralised zone - recently awarded to Vedanta.

 

All resolutions put to the meeting were duly passed.
