Online hackers have claimed they've targeted the website of a company behind plans for a goldmine in West Tyrone.
Anonymous Ireland uploaded images on social media last week purporting to show Dalradian Resources' site temporarily shut down.
The group has posted a slew of messages on their site voicing their opposition to the Canadian firm's plans to develop a gold processing plant in the area of Greencastle in County Tyrone.
They also go on to urge others to "start digging" saying the issue of mining in the area is one that "affects each and every one of us".
Despite support in the local area for the Dalradian's plans, there has been bitter opposition from some residents.
The resources and gold exploration company say they've consulted some 500 people since the start of 2016, and have invested over £3 million pounds in the local area.
While opposition groups claim Dalradian has failed to address key concerns voiced by residents.
