Dalradian Intersects 2.48 Metres Grading 21.33 g/t Gold and 4.87 Metres Grading 8.35 g/t Gold With Infill Drilling at Curraghinalt

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 15, 2013) - Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian" or the "Company") (TSX:DNA) is pleased to report additional results from its recent drilling program at the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit in Northern Ireland.

Highlights from this press release include:

• 4.87 m grading 8.35 g/t gold from the No. 1 vein zone in hole 13-CT-188, comprised of a mineralized D-vein flanked by several high-grade C-veins
• 2.07 m grading 7.97 g/t gold from the No. 1 vein zone in hole 13-CT-189
• 2.48 m grading 21.33 g/t gold from a C-vein array within the broader No. 1 vein zone, also from 13-CT-189
• 1.53 m grading 17.14 g/t gold from the 106-16 vein zone in hole 13-CT-190

Details of Drilling at Curraghinalt

Results from sampling over broader intervals on existing and historical core continue to support the new model that mineralization at Curraghinalt is hosted in a suite of sub-parallel Vein Zones comprising one or more shear-related D-veins (the historically recognized main veins) plus a surrounding array of extension veinlets (C-veins). By interpreting the mineralization into wider vein zones, the historical D-vein mineralization remains the key or anchoring component, however, the wider zones of mineralization and structures will increase confidence in correlating mineralization on cross-section and from section to section. This allows a better understanding of the geometry of the mineralization, and will provide a more robust geological model to support future resource updates.

Final results are being reported for three infill drill holes located in the central part of the Curraghinalt deposit (see plan map for collar locations).

All drill holes were drilled to the south and intersected the entire suite of vein zones currently included in the 2011 resources estimate. The three drill holes also intersected several high-grade, narrow C-veins. These C-veins, which were typically not sampled by previous operators, are the target of a historical core sampling program currently underway at Curraghinalt.

Hole 13-CT-188 (Az. 200, Dip -47) intersected all interpreted vein zones but most significant is the No. 1 vein zone where an approximately 45 m wide mineralized envelope consists of high-grade C-veins flanking the core D-vein.

Holes 13-CT-189 (Az. 200, Dip -47) and 13-CT-190 (Az. 200, Dip -45) were drilled on the same section approximately 100 m east of 13-CT-188. 13-CT-189 intersected a 45 m wide mineralized envelope around the No. 1 vein, with the core D-vein grading 2.07 m at 7.97 g/t gold, approximately 115 m below surface. Hole 13-CT-190 drilled approximately 200 m below 13-CT-189 and intersected a 15 m wide mineralized envelope around the No. 1 vein, with the core D-vein grading 0.81 m at 28.16 g/t gold, demonstrating good vertical continuity of the No 1 vein zone. In addition, both 13-CT-189 and 13-CT-190 intersected a 23 m wide mineralized envelope around the 106-16 vein. In hole 13-CT-189 this envelope hosts a core D-vein grading 0.56 m at 16.49 g/t gold, while in 13-CT-190 a cluster of both C-veins and D-veins grading 2.79 m at 8.58 g/t gold are interpreted to form the core of the mineralized envelope.

Results from additional holes from this program are still pending and will be released as they are received, compiled and interpreted.
