The Curraghinalt Deposit is a high-grade mesothermal gold system
located near the centre of our property in Counties Tyrone and
Londonderry. It hosts an NI 43-101 compliant:
-
Indicated mineral resource of 0.95 MT grading 13.24 g/t gold for 0.40 million contained ounces
-
Inferred mineral resource of 2.46 MT grading 14.64 g/t gold for 1.16 million contained ounces
Curraghinalt consists of at least seven primary gold-bearing veins,
ranging in width from 0.5 to 3.0 metres. It remains open along strike
and down dip. Regional geochemical, mapping and sampling work suggests
additional veins may exist peripheral to the resource and outside the
main zone.
To date, approximately 26,000 metres of drilling has been done in more
than 250 drill holes. A 412-metre adit, 225 metres of lateral drifts and
a 60-metre ventilation raise were all constructed during an earlier
underground development program.
Micon International Limited published its independent technical report, "A
Mineral Resource Estimate for the Curraghinalt Gold Deposit and a
Review of a Proposed Exploration Program for the Tyrone Project, County
Tyrone and County Londonderry, Northern Ireland," on May 10, 2010.
Prepared by B. Terrence Hennessey, P. Geo., and Dibya Kanti
Mukhopadhyay, M.Cs., MAusIMM, this report updated a November 2007
report, which Micon also prepared and delivered to Tournigan, the
previous operator of the Tyrone Project.
A 2% net smelter return royalty on the Curraghinalt Deposit (as defined
in the royalty agreement dated December 13, 2004 between Ulster
Minerals (now Dalradian Gold Limited, "DGL") and Minco Plc) is payable
by DGL to Minco Plc, or its nominee, and a 4% royalty will be payable to
the Crown Estate Commissioners based on the selling price of any silver
and gold produced at the Tyrone Project.
