Abstract: We consider asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature that are conformal to $R^{n}setminusOmega,nge3$, and so that their boundary is a minimal hypersurface. (Here, $Omegasubset{R}^n$ is open bounded with smooth mean-convex boundary.) We prove that the ADM mass of any such manifold is bounded below by $$, where $V$ is the Euclidean volume of $Omega$ and $$ is the volume of the Euclidean unit $n$-ball. This gives a partial proof to a conjecture of Bray and Iga cite{brayiga}. Surprisingly, we do not require the boundary to be outermost.
