Connemara Mining said drilling has started on the gold target on the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal.

In a statement, the company said the first of four holes was at 70 metres on Monday night. Target depth for each hole is 250 metres spaced 100 metres apart.

Holes are being drilled at a 45 degree angle aiming to intersect the veins, at least seven, identified in previous drilling, Connemara said.

The campaign will last for up to three weeks with initial results expected by early July.

Connemara is a diversified exploration company with principal assets in gold, zinc and lead exploration licences in Ireland. The company holds interests in 35 licenses covering an area of approximately 1,350 sq km.
