Re: Dalradian Resources Update Initial blast completed in late DecemberDalradian Resources Inc. (DALR-AIM, DNA-TSX) announced this morning that the initial underground blast at its 100%-owned Curraghinalt project near Omagh in Northern Ireland was completed in late December 2014. The blast went as planned and in accordance with DNAs planning permission for its underground exploration programme.UNTIL WE FIND A BUYER FOR ANOTHER UNDER THE TABLE DEAL (PG springs to mind)
Dalradian Resources Update Davy ViewIts been a long time coming. The initial use of explosives for underground gold exploration at the Curraghinalt gold project in Northern Ireland has now been achieved. Historically, the project was limited to slow-moving rotary drills for its underground development due to long-standing local restrictions on explosive materials. This milestone adds to the momentum the project is gaining as it unfolds its extensive 2015 underground exploration programme.Initial blast completed in late DecemberDalradian Resources Inc.

Underground drilling for the pre-feasibility study will begin in March 2015E.C$30m programme underwayThe Curraghinalt project represents one of the highest-grade, large and undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The key unknown for the project is the true continuity and average thickness of the veins. DNAs underground programme is estimated to cost C$30m and will include 1,200 metres of underground development and 20,000 metres of underground drilling. We expect a pre-feasibility study to be completed mid-late 2016E, which should feed into an environmental impact assessment and an application for planning permission for an operating mine.ValuationWe are maintaining our Outperform rating and C$1.60 price target.
