Patrick F.N. Anderson, Dalradian's President and CEO, commented:
"Following Britain's recent decision to leave the European Union, Dalradian reaffirms our commitment to Northern Ireland and the Curraghinalt Gold Project, one of a handful of undeveloped high grade gold systems in the world.
We remain on track and on budget to deliver our feasibility study in the autumn this year and only the test stope study and paste backfill tests remain to be completed. We expect to release the results from the test stopes and a grade reconciliation study in the coming weeks."

Outlook
The budget for completion of the FS, Underground Program (including infill drilling), land acquisition, ESIA, submission of the planning application and corporate, general and administrative costs is approximately GBP 28 million ($56 million), for the budget period from October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. The work program remains on-track and on-budget, with $40.1 million spent to June 30, 2016. With the infill drill program and underground development (other than test stoping) completed, project spending is expected to decrease in the two remaining quarters of 2016. Test stoping, field and study work for the FS and ESIA will continue through Q3, and permitting activities and ESIA study work will continue to increase leading to submission of the planning application. Dalradian's net working capital at June 30, 2016 was approximately $19.6 million against a remaining budget of approximately the same amount for the Underground Program, FS, ESIA, Planning Application and corporate, general and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2016.
