The Glenamoy and Belderrig districts in County Mayo have already been surveyed, and the information obtained is available for inspection by any interested person at the office of the Geological Survey. I am advised that the likelihood of discovering workable deposits of copper in these areas is not such as to justify the expenditure of public moneys on a further survey.
