The presence of a kink in the Orlock Bridge Fault at Slieve Glah raises the possibility of a dilational shear zone which is of exploration interest due to open fracture systems. Reconnaissance soil geochemistry surveys show that a series of gold-in-soil anomalies are associated with this feature. Infill sampling in this area has now revealed an extensive gold anomaly approximately 1700 metres in length. Work is continuing to evaluate the potential of this area.

There is potential for a significant gold deposit in this area.
