DELTA-1 GOLD PROJECT AWARDED $200,000 FUNDING UNDER THE ONTARIO

JUNIOR EXPLORATION PROGRAM

March 30, 2026 / Toronto, ON / Newsfile Corp. Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “the

Company”) (TSX-V: DLTA) (OTC Pink: DTARF) (FRANKFURT: 6GO1) is pleased to

announce that it has been awarded $200,000 in non-dilutive funding under the Ontario Junior

Exploration Program (“OJEP”) to advance exploration at its Delta-1 Gold Project near Thunder

Bay, Ontario.

This marks the fourth consecutive year of OJEP funding for Delta, reinforcing the Company’s

consistent exploration results and the Province’s support for high-quality mineral development in

Ontario.

In 2025, Delta completed 11,146.5 metres of drilling, advanced a large-scale 70 km² till survey,

and carried out multiple geophysical programs, including IP surveys and a high-resolution drone

magnetic survey. These efforts, combined with trenching and surface work, position Delta

among the most active exploration companies in the province.

Building on this momentum, and supported by OJEP funding, Delta plans to undertake

additional drilling, trenching, and surface exploration programs in 2026.

“Ontario is leading the charge to secure the minerals that will power our economy and

strengthen our sovereignty,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “Through

OJEP, we’re backing companies like Delta Resources Limited to advance promising projects

here at home—unlocking resources, creating jobs, and building a more self-reliant and secure

Canadian economy.”

Ron Kopas, Chief Executive Officer of Delta, commented:

“We are pleased to receive continued support from the Government of Ontario through the

Ontario Junior Exploration Program. This $200,000 in non-dilutive funding allows us to

accelerate exploration at our Delta-1 Gold Project while preserving shareholder value.

OJEP support underscores the strength of our exploration progress and reinforces Ontario’s

position as a leading mining jurisdiction.”
