Connemara reports zinc find in Co Kerry

irishtimes.com

AIM-listed exploration company Connemara Mining said today it has found zinc near Castlemaine in Co Kerry.

The area is close to the historic Meanus/Annagh silver and lead mine operated in the 18th century.

Samples from the Castlemaine licence block contained 51.43 per cent zinc, the company said.

Chairman John Teeling, Chairman said: “Mining lore has it that the best place to find a mine is where there was a mine. So it is with Castlemaine. It is very early days but the work is very encouraging”.

Modelling of the Meanus/Annagh deposit suggests it is similar to the 2007 Kilbrekin, discovery in Co Clare which is being explored by Lundin Mining, according to the company.
