"Our Curraghinalt gold deposit continues to deliver." comments CEO Patrick F. N. Anderson. "Our drilling program over the past year has increased the previous resource estimate by 73% and the deposit remains open along strike, across strike and down dip. Currently, all of our rigs are working on an infill drilling program but we expect to restart drilling along trend and on our regional targets in the next week."

The Company intends to file a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report in respect of the updated mineral resource estimate on SEDAR and on the Company's website within 45 days of this news release.

Key assumptions of the updated mineral resource estimate for the Curraghinalt gold deposit are as follows:

1.  The mineral resource estimate for the Curraghinalt gold deposit has been
    prepared and categorized for reporting purposes by Mr. DK Mukhopadhyay,
    MAusIMM (CP), Senior Mineral Resource Geologist of Micon International
    Co Limited, following the guidelines of the Canadian Institute of
    Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Mr. Mukhopadhyay is a Qualified Person
    as defined by NI 43-101 on the basis of training and experience in the
    exploration, mining and estimation of mineral resources of gold deposits
    and is independent of Dalradian. 
2.  The mineral resource estimate for the Curraghinalt gold deposit is
    defined primarily by diamond core drilling, underground exploration and
    trench channel sampling. Drilling was conducted on a grid of 30 m x 30 m
    to 200 m x 200 m. Underground and trench channel samples are spaced at
    intervals of 3 m to 6 m. 
3.  The Curraghinalt gold deposit consists of a series of parallel to sub-
    parallel veins and splays trending E-W to NW-SE. There are 35 separate
    structures identified.  
4.  Drill core, underground and trench samples were assayed for Au. All
    samples were regularized to vein width. 
5.  Mineralization envelopes were defined using a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t
    Au. 
6.  The gold price used for calculating the cut-off grade was US $900/ounce.
7.  Block grades were interpolated using Inverse Distance with a Power of 5
    and were verified by ordinary kriging on a few major veins. Estimation
    was carried out for linear metal accumulation gm/t and length of the
    composited samples. Gold grades were recalculated from these two
    estimations. 
8.  Bulk density of the mineralization was based on actual data collected
    during exploration. The bulk density factor varied based on individual
    veins and ranged from 2.70 t/m3 to 3.09 t/m3. 
9.  Blocks with a vein width of 0.1 m were considered as part of the
    resource. All the selected blocks were diluted to 1.0 m width. A grade
    cut-off of 5 g/t was considered after dilution for inclusion in the
    resource. Categorization of mineral resources was done based on the
    following criteria; 
    a.  Measured mineral resources are defined as those portions of the
        deposit which have underground channel samples within a 15 m radius.
    b.  Indicated mineral resources were defined as those portions of the
        deposit which were drilled with a density of 30 m X 30 m. 
    c.  Inferred mineral resources were defined as those portions of the
        deposit for which the drill spacing is about 200 m x 200 m. 
10. Omac Laboratories Ltd. (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) of Loughrea, Republic
    of Ireland, performed the assays.
