More information can be found from the Government publications office

In view of the recent upsurge in gold exploration the Exploration and Mining Division and the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) have collaborated to produce the first ever digital release of data on gold occurrences, a free CD containing information on over 300 gold occurrences within Ireland.

Also available is a seperate CD devoted to Cregganbaun, a ‘Target Area’ with 11 contiguous Prospecting Licence Areas (PLAs) in southern Co. Mayo that covers approximately 400 km2.

The Exploration and Mining Division (EMD) is a line division of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. EMD is the key reference point for the exploration and mining industry, available for advice and assistance from arrival in Ireland through to the opening of a mine. Enquiries from the general public on all matters relating to minerals regulation are also welcome.
