Dalradian to break ground on 30,000 metre surface drilling program

Dalradian Resources has announced commencement of its 30,000 metre drilling program at the Curraghinalt gold project in Omagh, Northern Ireland.

The program, part of the company’s 2017 exploration program has at this time five drill rigs mobilised and operating. Focus of the program will be primarily on step-out holes to investigate potential extensions in the deposit.

"The 2017 work programme will enhance our Curraghinalt gold project through new drilling, and geotechnical, geological and engineering studies. Infill drilling from our underground programme has confirmed high-grade mineralisation within the existing resource envelope. We are now stepping out of that envelope to test the extensions of those high-grade veins. Over our seven years of exploration at Curraghinalt we have been successful in expanding the mineral resource more than sevenfold,” said president and CEO Patrick Anderson.
