Rathdowney project-areas are located in rich zinc-lead districts of Poland and Ireland.
In Poland, the company has been granted two concession licenses, and applied for a third license in the Upper Silesian Mining District. Rathdowney owns a 100% interest in the licenses (upon grant), known as Project Olza, through its wholly owned subsidiary Rathdowney Polska. The Upper Silesian Mining District is a world-class district of Mississippi Valley-type zinc-lead deposits. Rathdowney's properties have seen previous work by Polish State surveys, and are known to host high-grade mineralization. An extensive program of resource verification and exploration drilling began in June 2011.
In Ireland, Rathdowney has assembled an extensive land portfolio for lead and zinc exploration. Through its subsidiary, Mayfly Resources, the company has acquired more than 1,600 square km of ground in the mineral-rich Irish Midlands. Extensive early stage exploration over the past two years has established a number of drill-ready targets. Drill testing commenced in April 2011.
