Dalradian Receives £326,000 Investment from Northern Ireland Government to Support Curraghinalt Project

19.08.2014  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 19, 2014) -

Editor's Note - There are two photos associated with this release.

Northern Ireland's Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Arlene Foster has announced that Invest Northern Ireland has offered over £326,000 (approx. CDN$590,000) of support for jobs and associated training to support pre-commercialisation work at Dalradian Resources Inc.'s (TSX:DNA) (TSX:DNA.WT) (OTCQX:DRLDF) Curraghinalt gold deposit. Invest NI's support is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

Arlene Foster said: "The decision by Dalradian Resources to expand its Tyrone operations is good news for the local economy. The company had the option of locating these jobs in Toronto but was swayed by Northern Ireland's cost-effective business environment and the support offered by Invest NI.

"I first met with Dalradian Resources last year on a visit to Canada and I very much welcome that those initial talks, combined with the company's attendance at the Northern Ireland Investment Conference last October, have led to this investment. The company is looking to develop the first underground gold mine in Northern Ireland and this offers a unique opportunity to introduce specialist skills and sophisticated international resource investment into our important professional services sector."

Patrick F.N. Anderson, Dalradian's CEO, commented: "Our Board, which has developed mining projects all over the globe, is focused on the Curraghinalt deposit in Northern Ireland because it has the right combination of geology, infrastructure, workforce and a business-friendly government. To date, the gold deposit has responded exactly as we'd hoped; as we've invested, it has grown and the preliminary economic assessment is very positive. This next phase of underground exploration, which will be managed and operated out of our Tyrone facilities, will take us through the more advanced economic assessment required to reach a mine construction decision.

"We appreciate the support we've received from all levels of government as well as the local community. In return, we're committed to helping to create a new industry in Northern Ireland, to hire locally and build up specialized mining skills through training over the next several years. Ultimately, we believe Northern Ireland can support a vibrant mining sector with well-remunerated jobs."

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Dalradian's NI 43-101 report, "Curraghinalt Gold Deposit, Northern Ireland, Mineral Resource Estimate Update, NI 43-101 Technical Report" is dated May 30, 2014, and was prepared by Tim Maunula, P.Geo., President & Principal Geologist, T.

Dalradian's 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") reported positive results for a proposed underground mine at Curraghinalt. Using 2012 3-year and 5-year trailing average gold prices of $1,378 and $1,166 per ounce, the PEA showed an after-tax IRR of 41.9% and 33.4% and NPV of US$467 and US$331 million respectively, based on an 8% discount rate. While the PEA is based on the November 2011 mineral resource estimate, its conclusions are not invalidated by the May 2014 mineral resource update. Dalradian's NI 43-101 report, "A Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit, Tyrone Project, Northern Ireland" is dated September 6, 2012, and was prepared by Mr. B.
