         Wardrop Engineering Inc Appointed To Carry Out Scoping Study 
 
                          at Clontibret Gold Project 
 
  * Clontibret is Conroy's Most Advanced Gold Project 
 
  * Work To Commence On Study Immediately 
 
Conroy Diamonds and Gold Plc (AIM: CDG; IEX: CDGI) is pleased to announce that 
it has appointed Wardrop Engineering Inc ("Wardrop") to conduct a scoping study 
at Clontibret, the Company's most advanced gold project. The study, which is to 
commence immediately, will report using JORC standards and guidelines. 
 
Wardrop is a multi-disciplined engineering and consulting firm that provides 
innovative solutions for the natural resource management, energy and 
infrastructure markets globally. Wardrop has been working in the global mining 
industry since the early 1960s and is in the forefront of gold mining expertise. 
Wardrop is a subsidiary of Tetra Tech (NASDAQ: TTEK), a leading provider of 
consulting, engineering, programme management, construction and technical 
services. The combined companies have more than 10,000 employees worldwide and 
capabilities that span the entire project lifecycle. 
 
The Company's Clontibret project currently comprises an indicated resource of 
11 million tonnes grading 1.24 g/t gold for 440,000 ounces (oz) contained, and 
an inferred resource of 14 million tonnes at a grade of 1.32 g/t for 590,000oz 
contained, bringing the total resource to over one million oz. This resource is 
taken from the JORC standard report received by the Company in June 2008 using 
a reporting cut-off of 0.75 g/t gold. The current resource is derived from 
results from 20 per cent of the Clontibret area. 
 
The scope of work by Wardrop will include the following areas - Geology, 
including Regional Geology, Resource Review, Deposit Types and Mineralisation; 
Mine Plan and Production, Metallurgy and Plant Design, Infrastructure/Utilities 
and Ancillary Facilities, Mine Water and Waste Management, Capital and 
Operating Costs Estimates and Financial Analysis. 
 
The scoping study will primarily be related to Clontibret. However, in view of 
the Company's other gold discoveries in the area including Clay Lake, (Co. 
Armagh, 3½ miles North-East of Clontibret), and Glenish (Co. Monaghan, 3½ miles 
South-West of Clontibret), the study will take place against the background of 
these and other closely related discoveries and their possible implications in 
relation to overall development at Clontibret. 
 
Chairman, Professor Richard Conroy said today: 
 
"The appointment of Wardrop to carry out the scoping study at Clontibret is the 
all-important first stage in determining if the current one million ounce gold 
resource can support a profitable mining operation. It is anticipated that the 
study will also consider the possible implications of our other nearby 
discoveries, including Clay Lake where we recently announced encouraging 
initial drilling results" 
 
The technical content of this release has been approved by Kevin McNulty PGeo, 
who is a member of the Company's technical staff, who holds a BSc/MSc in 
Geology and Remote Sensing, in accordance with the guidance note for Mining, 
Oil & Gas Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange in respect of AIM 
Companies, which outlines standards of disclosure for mineral projects.
