Dalradian Continues to Extend Veins Along Strike and Down Dip at Curraghinalt; Drills 2.54 Metres Grading 20.61 g/t Gold

TORONTO, April 7, 2011 - Dalradian Resources Inc. (“Dalradian“ or the “Company“) (TSX: DNA) (TSX: DNA.WT) continues to extend the known mineralization at its Curraghinalt Deposit in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. As part of the company's step out drilling program two of the main resource veins have been intersected increasing both known strike and dip extent. Two drillholes stepped out 225 and 270 metres to the east of the present T17 vein resource block and intersected 2.54 metres grading 20.61 g/t gold, and 3.58 metres grading 9.50 g/t gold.

Mineralized intercepts from seven veins are reported including 5.04 metres grading 7.58 g/t gold and 0.33 metres of 244.42 g/t of gold from the No. 1 vein and 0.60 metres of 55.35 g/t of gold from the Bend vein.

Note. Only drill hole intercepts greater than 5 g/t Au over a 1 metre true width are reported.


T17 vein

Step out drillhole 11-CT-85 intersected 2.54 metres grading 20.61 g/t gold. This intercept is the furthest east drilled on the T17 vein (225 metres outside the resource envelope) and it is encouraging that width and good grade are present in this area. Drillhole 11-CT-82a intersected 3.58 metres grading 9.50 g/t gold and represents a 270 metre step out. Drillhole 11-CT-80 intersected 0.98 metres grading 10.80 g/t gold and represents the deepest drill hole on the T17 vein to date. The T17 vein now has a vertical extent of 580 metres.


No. 1 vein

Step out drill hole 11-CT-80 represents the second deepest and widest intercept on the No. 1 vein. The intercept of 5.04 metres grading 7.58 g/t gold represents a 100 metre step out and is indicative that increased vein widths are possible with increasing depth. The No. 1 vein has now been traced to a vertical extent of 720 metres. Drill hole 11-CT-78 cut the No. 1 vein within the known resource area and intercepted 0.33 metres grading 244.42 g/t gold (two check assays confirmed the grade).


106-16 vein

Drill holes 11-CT-78 and -79 intercepted the 106-16 vein within the defined resource area. 11-CT-78 cut 1.18 metres grading 18.75 g/t gold while 11-CT-79 intersected 1.19 metres grading 21.75 g/t gold and also encountered a splay in the hanging wall of the 106-16 vein grading 0.28 metres at 67.84 g/t gold.


Bend vein

Drillhole 11-CT-84 cut the Bend vein at an elevation of 125 metres and intersected 0.60 metres grading 55.35 g/t gold.


V75 vein

Two intercepts over the cut off grade are reported. Drill hole 11-CT-79 intercepted 0.38 metres grading 48.96 g/t gold on the margins of the present resource block at an elevation of 170 metres. Drill hole 11-CT-83 intersected 0.81 metres grading 34.79 g/t gold 175 metres west of the resource envelope at an elevation of 150 metres.


Crow vein

A single intercept on the Crow vein was above cut off. Drill hole 11-CT-79 intercepted 0.44 metres grading 15.85 g/t gold at an elevation of 85 metres. This is the furthest west the Crow vein has been intersected.


Road vein

Only one rig was sited far enough north to intercept the Road vein. Drill hole 11-CT-80 intersected 0.30 metres grading 52.62 g/t gold at an elevation of -85 metres. This is the deepest the Road vein has been intersected and now has a vertical extent of 250 metres.
