Landsat structural study 2. Reprocessing of available airborne geophysics (magnetic and electromagnetic data) • Large soil geochemistry survey to cover 5 km untested area between Boley and Kilmichael • Define bedrock gold source through tracing of boulder train, stream source etc • Detailed prospecting at Boley and as follow-up to soil geochemistry survey ISDX: IMCP / PLU: IMCP 26 Proposed Soil Survey Knockbrandon ENE-trending Au anomaly Kilmichael & Ballyowen-Ballygarrett ENE-trending Au anomalies Proposed area to be covered by soil geochemistry survey. This would encompass targets with known bedrock Au and potentially Boley reveal additional mineralized areas.

    Southern Region Regional and Economic Spatial Strategy Submission By Enniscorthy is a town that has enjoyed strong growth over the past 20 years. In a post-Brexit scenario, the town’s location is unrivalled: Enniscorthy is in the heart of County Wexford, linking roads from the Western and Midlands regions to Rosslare Europort while also within a 120km drive to Dublin. As well as boasting efficient rail and bus commuter services, the town is home to strong businesses, which provide sources of employment for the town’s residents and wider rural hinterland. The town serves a large district’s primary, post-primary and further education needs. The town boasts terrific healthcare and recreational facilities. - National and international interconnectivity along Euroroute One linking key national roads (N11/N80/N30) with Rosslare Europort and Dublin. - Bustling town with renowned cultural and retail services. - Good quality of life with a strong set of recreational facilities. - Planning for significant increases in residential housing estates. - Strong economic development growth with the construction of the world-leading Enniscorthy Business and Technology Park to complement the existing Business Park on the Old Dublin Road. - UN Centre of Excellence in the global challenge to curb carbon emissions – one of only 3 centres worldwide with New York City and Vancouver. - Newly built Water/Wastewater Treatment Plant costing €16 million allowing population capacity to grow to 26,000. - Town serves a large natural hinterland of circa 60,000 people. - Regional centre for healthcare, including St. John’s Hospital. - Important base for regional tourism. Enniscorthy in County Wexford deserves key town status within the Draft Regional and Economic Spatial Strategy for the Southern Region.
