Dalradian Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Updated Mineral Resource for the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 21, 2016) - Dalradian Resources Inc. (TSX:DNA)(AIM:DALR) ("Dalradian" or the "Company") reports that it has filed on SEDAR the National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) technical report for its updated mineral resource estimate for the Curraghinalt gold deposit in Northern Ireland. Highlights of the report were previously announced on May 5, 2016. Because this latest technical report supersedes any previous reports and renders them obsolete, the Company has removed the previous technical report (the 2014 Preliminary Economic Assessment) from its website and marketing materials. Updated economics for the Curraghinalt gold deposit will be announced in the upcoming feasibility study, scheduled for release this autumn.
