FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND QUALIFIED PERSON
2
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the delivery of an updated feasibilitystudy and an updated technical report, future financial or operating performance of the Company and its subsidiaries and its mineral project, the future price ofmetals, test work and confirming results from work performed to date, the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, the realization of mineral resourceand mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs andtiming of the development of new deposits, costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations,environmental risks, reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations of insurance coverage, the timing and possible outcome of pending regulatory mattersand the realization of the expected production, economics and mine life of the Curraghinalt gold deposit.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “plans,” “expects,” “is expected,” “budget,” “scheduled,”“estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions,events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are based on various assumptionsthat management believes are reasonable, such as continued political stability in Northern Ireland, that permits required for Dalradian’s operations will be obtained ina timely basis in order to permit Dalradian to proceed on schedule with its planned exploration and mine development, construction and production programs, that apermitting application for mine construction will be approved, that skilled personnel and contractors will be available as Dalradian’s operations commence andcontinue to grow towards production and mining operations, that the price of gold will be at levels that render the Dalradian’s mineral project economic, and that theCompany will be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operations and realize on mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates and currentmine plans.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements ofDalradian to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factorsinclude, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; legal challenges to permits or permitting applications; the actualresults of current and future exploration activities; the actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; meeting various expected costestimates; changes in project parameters and/or economic assessments as plans continue to be refined; future prices of metals; possible variations of mineral grade orrecovery rates; the risk that actual costs may exceed estimated costs; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes andother risks of the mining industry; political instability; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or constructionactivities, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2017dated March 15, 2018.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described inforward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-lookingstatements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,whether as a result of new information, future events or results, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readersshould not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Eric Tremblay, P.Eng., Chief Operating Officer, and Greg Hope, M.Sc., MAIG, Exploration and Geology Manager with Dalradian Resources Inc., are the Qualified Personswho have reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.

SITE PLAN
Curraghinalt has been designed to fit in with the natural topography with a low profile design, using trees, berms and building wall sound panels to buffer noise.

FS ENHANCEMENTS
▪ Infill drilling to enhance grade
▪ Conversion of Inferred resource into M&I and Reserves
▪ Focused geotechnical program in zones currently classified as poor ground
▪ Production rate
▪ Ore sorting
Anticipated results with enhancements are higher annual production and lower costs
Updated FS scheduled to be released in Q3 2018
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate*, along with the work listed below, will support an updated FS:
