Dalradian Intersects 3.67 m of 15.33 g/t Gold and 1.62 m of 48.31 g/t Gold at Curraghinalt

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 18, 2016) - Dalradian Resources Inc. (TSX:DNA)(AIM:DALR) ("Dalradian" or the "Company") announces results from 51 drill holes from an ongoing infill drilling program at the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit in Northern Ireland.

Highlights

• 1.84 m of 33.90 g/t gold from the T17 vein in hole15-CT-296
• 0.72 m of 106.57 g/t gold from the V55 vein in hole15-CT-297
• 3.67 m of 15.33 g/t gold from the No.1 vein in hole 15-CT-307
• 0.76 m grading 54.92 g/t gold from the V75 vein in hole15-CT-320
• 1.62 m of 48.31 g/t gold from the T17 vein in hole 15-CT-308
• 0.76 m grading 95.00 g/t gold from the 106-16 vein in hole 15-CT-317
• 2.05 m of 15.79 g/t gold from the No.1 vein in hole15-CT-312
• 1.23 m grading 38.28 g/t gold from the V75 vein in hole 15-CT-325

Details of Drilling at Curraghinalt

Final results are being reported for 51 drill holes mainly located in the central and western parts of the Curraghinalt deposit (see plan map and two cross sections at http://www.dalradian.com/news-and-events/news-releases/news-releases-details/February-18-2016-News-Release-Figures). These holes were drilled at varying intervals targeting most of the veins included in the last mineral resource estimate, as well as four of the newly interpreted veins, Grizzly, Slap Shot, Sperrin and Causeway. Most drill holes were oriented generally towards the south within a southwest to southeast quadrant in order to intercept the steeply north dipping vein array. Holes 15-CT-281-294a and 15-CT-316-328 were drilled from underground, while holes 15-CT-295-315 and 15-CT-329-330 were drilled from surface.

These 51 drill holes represent 13,365 metres of the approximately 50,000 metre expanded infill drilling program. To date, 142 holes for 39,582 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.

These intercepts correlate well with and improve the current geological model with respect to the continuity and smoothness of the individual vein wireframes.

Patrick F.N. Anderson, Dalradian's Chairman and CEO, commented:

"The infill program continues to deliver high grade intercepts where we expect them. We are wrapping up the last several holes of our program and expect to release at least one more batch of results. Along with the progress on our underground exploration program, with test stoping to begin shortly, we remain on-track for completion of our feasibility study in the second half of this year."

Selected Curraghinalt Drill Intersections

Notes

• True widths vary depending on the vein zone intersected but generally average 85% of the down hole interval
• Intercepts are calculated using samples ≥2.0 g/t Au, and contain no more than 1.0 m of internal dilution
• Generally, only those mineralized intercepts exceeding 10 gram-metres have been included in the table. Accordingly, there are eleven drill holes that are not listed in the above table even though they typically intercepted the projected veins.

Qualified Person

Greg Hope, MSc, MAIG, Chief Consulting Geologist, Dalradian Resources, is the Qualified Person who supervised the preparation of the technical data in this news release.

Drill core was halved with samples (averaging between 0.25 m and 0.50 m in mineralized material and up to 1 m in wall rock) submitted to ALS Laboratories in the Republic of Ireland. Quality assurance and quality control procedures identified no material issues. Core samples were analyzed by a 50 gram gold fire assay with either an atomic absorption, or a gravimetric finish for samples initially reporting over 100.0 g/t gold.

ALS Laboratories is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) to undertake testing, including for Ores and Minerals (INAB P9 703), as detailed in the Schedule bearing the Registration Number 173T, in compliance with the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 2nd Edition "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This news release contains "forward-looking information" which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, test work and confirming results from work performed to date, estimation of mineral resources, completion of the feasibility study, environmental and social impact assessment and underground program and the realization of the expected economics of Curraghinalt. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as "plans," "expects," "is expected," "budget," "scheduled," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "anticipates," or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may," "could," "would," "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are based on various assumptions, such as continued political stability in Northern Ireland, that permits required for the Company's operations will be obtained in a timely basis in order to permit the Company to proceed on schedule with its planned development and exploration programs, that skilled personnel and contractors will be available as the Company's operations continue to grow, that the price of gold will be at levels that render the Company's mineral project economic, that the Company will be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operations and realize on mineral resource estimates, and that the assumptions contained in the Company's preliminary economic assessment are accurate and complete.
