TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 10, 2015) - Dalradian Resources Inc. (TSX:DNA)(AIM:DALR) ("Dalradian" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from its ongoing infill drilling program at the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit in Northern Ireland.

Details of Drilling at Curraghinalt
Final results are being reported for 25 drill holes located in the central part of the Curraghinalt deposit (see plan map and three cross sections at http://www.dalradian.com/news-and-events/news-releases/Sept-10-News-Release-figures/). These holes were drilled at varying intervals towards the south, targeting most of the veins included in the last mineral resource estimate. In addition, three new veins were interpreted as a result of the infill drill program results to date: the Slap shot, Sperrin, and Causeway veins. Holes 15-CT-220 through 15-CT-233, 15-CT-242 and 15-CT-243 were drilled from underground, while 15-CT-215, 15-CT-217, 15-CT-234 through 15-CT-241 and 15-CT-252 through 15-CT-255 were drilled from surface.
These 25 drill holes represent 8,438.5 metres of the 30,000 metre infill drilling program. To date, including the press release on July 15, 2015, 50 holes for 14,204.5 metres in total have been released, with results for the remaining drill holes to be released as they are received, compiled and interpreted. The purpose of the infill program is to convert resource ounces from the Inferred to the Indicated category, in support of a feasibility study currently underway. The drill program covers only 45% of the 1.7 kilometre strike length of the current Curraghinalt resource and to a depth of approximately 450 metres from surface.
The mineralized veins and zones intercepted by these drill holes correlate with the current vein wireframes, and confirm their high-grade nature. The increased drill hole density has also facilitated the interpretation of three additional veins: Slap shot, Sperrin and Causeway.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; meeting various expected cost estimates; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of metals; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; political instability; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
