Modern Mining offers job opportunities for all

When Nicola Nixon left school in 1999 to pursue a career in mining, her choice wasn’t viewed as a normal route for a young woman to follow. At that time the industry was considered to be male dominated and not generally suitable for an 18-year old female.

Mining - a hi-tech sector focused on continuous improvement

Historically, mining jobs were only for the physically fit who could work underground. Not anymore. Today, IT skills are highly sought after because virtually every aspect of mining can be digitised, controlled or monitored remotely.

Inside Dalradian’s Planning Application

Take a look inside Dalradian’s Planning Application, currently under consideration by the Department for Infrastructure. We are committed to meeting or exceeding all of Northern Ireland’s regulatory requirements.

A day in the life

In the late 1980s and early 90s I worked for Omagh Minerals at their gold mine in Cavanacaw. I worked on the drilling rigs there but then left to go to a different job. It just goes to show that gold mining has been in and around Tyrone for a while now. 

The Project

Dalradian is planning to create a new industry and hundreds of jobs in Tyrone by developing one of the world’s top gold deposits. Each step in that plan is built on a respect for people and the environment.
