TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2012) - Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian" or the "Company") (TSX:DNA)(OTCQX:DRLDF) reports that John McCombe, Chief Operating Officer of Dalradian resigned from his executive role, effective immediately. Mr. McCombe will stay on as an adviser for several months to see certain studies through to completion.

"I want to personally thank and congratulate John for all he's accomplished, including the successful completion of our recently published Preliminary Economic Assessment, a crucial first step in understanding the potential of the Curraghinalt gold deposit," said Patrick F.N. Anderson Chief Executive Officer "Our next step in the development timetable is the submission of an application for underground exploration development to extend the existing underground workings for both trial mining and bulk sample collection. We expect to have this application completed in the coming weeks".

Dalradian currently has three drill rigs working through an 18,000 metre program in Northern Ireland. The current program is directed at understanding the full potential of the mineralized gold system along the 8 kilometre long Curraghinalt trend. The program is intended to both upgrade and expand our current gold resources and discover additional gold ounces along strike. In Norway, we are completing our field season after having collected more than 3,000 exploration samples in 2 of our 6 exploration blocks with the aim of identifying drill targets in 2013.
