Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented "our investment in Conroy Gold today is an important step for the Company with our first exposure to Irish resource opportunities with a particular emphasis on gold.
The undervaluation of resource companies on AIM continues as demonstrated by Conroy Gold who have identified a substantial mineralised gold system and continue to confirm additional gold targets across their licence portfolio.
With the investment today we are supporting Conroy Gold in their pursuit of progress on the ground and we look forward to hearing of further developments in due course."
Conroy Gold reported a loss of €315,314 for the year ended 31.05.15 and net assets of €15,256,853 as at 30.11.15.
