Toronto-based Dalradian Resources Inc (www.dalradian.com) has been granted option agreements for precious metals and prospecting licences for base metals for two new licence areas in Northern Ireland, contiguous with its existing licences in the province.

The Canadian company’s licence areas now cover about 122,000 hectares of ground — up from around 84,000
hectares previously.

CEO Patrick Anderson said: “Both licence areas contain multiple discrete panned concentrate anomalies — based on
historic data — showing high gold values. We are now the largest mineral licence holder in Northern Ireland.”
