Dalradian Intercepts 1.17 Metres of 44.47 g/t of High Grade Gold at Tyrone Project

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 3, 2011) - Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian" or the "Company") (TSX:DNA)(TSX:DNA.WT) announces that three new holes from its Curraghinalt gold deposit in Northern Ireland have intercepted eight veins. Four of the intercepts fall outside of the Company's previously reported NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Irish Drilling Limited, contracted by the Company, drilled all the reported holes. Results from holes completed by the Major Drilling Limited rigs, which arrived in December 2010, are expected this month. Figures for the three holes are appended to this release and may be viewed at Dalradian's website, www.dalradian.com.

"We continue to intercept high grade results with the two Irish Drilling rigs we have on site," said Patrick F. N. Anderson, Dalradian's chairman and chief executive officer. "Major Drilling's two rigs are operating and are further testing the extent of the resource envelope at Curraghinalt."
