Exploration company Conroy Diamonds & Gold has reported a loss after tax of €375,000 for the year to the end of May, in line with the same period a year earlier.
Earlier this year, the company substantially upgraded its estimate of gold at its prospect at Clontibret in Co Monaghan to more than one million ounces.
Conroy says it is confident of finding more gold in nearby areas yet to be drilled.
The company says it now looking at how best to fund the next stage of development. The options being studied include joint ventures or farm-outs.
