Mining with a lighter footprint

While the Curraghinalt project is still moving through planning, Dalradian already has a track record of responsible operations in exploration and development and has been carbon neutral since 2019, reducing emissions each year. A native tree nursery has been in place for several years to grow some of the saplings needed for progressive rehabilitation. Dalradian’s proposed underground mine in Tyrone is designed with best practices and the latest technology for a light footprint.
