Delta Completes Drilling at Its DELTA-1 GOLD Property, Thunder BAY, Ontario.
DELTA COMPLETES DRILLING AT ITS DELTA-1 GOLD PROPERTY,
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO.
May 4, 2021 / Kingston, ON / Accesswire . Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “the Company”) ( TSX-V:DLTA )
(OTCBB:DTARF ) ( FRANKFURT:6G01 ) is pleased to announce that it has completed its d rilling program at the
Delta-1 Gold Property, 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. A total of 1,376 metres were completed in eight
drill holes during this program. Drilling was aimed at an area north of Deltas’ original 2019 drilling, and was designed
to test a one-kilometre long area interpreted to be the source of the gold dispersion trail from till samples which
returned up to 457 gold grains in a 10kg sample (see press release dated March 11, 2021 and August 12, 2020 ). A
map of the drill hole locations is shown below.
Drill holes D1-21-07, 09, 10, 11 and 13 all interse cted an intense zone of alteration consisting of si lica flooding,
ankerite, calcite, chlorite and fuschite, all associated with disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite, along with several
generations of quartz-calcite-ankerite-pyrite veinlets, stockworks and breccias. The alteration zone was intersected
over a strike length of 400 metres and to a depth o f up to 130 metres and varies in width from seven t o forty-six
metres. This intense alteration zone was not intersected during the 2019 drill program and appears to occur down-
dip from the 2019 gold intercepts of drill holes D1-19-05 (0.73 g/t Au over 22m) and D1-19-03 (0.64 g/t over 27.5m).
It is unclear at this point if this alteration and veinlet zone is the source of the high gold-in-till anomaly, however it
seems like reasonable geological assumption at this stage.
All assays are pending and are expected in four to six weeks.
André Tessier, President and CEO commented as follo ws :“ Although we weren’t able to drill all the drill hol es
we had planned to due to high water levels, we’re really happy with the outcome of this program so far. The intensity
and extent of the alteration is very impressive and unexpected. Now we anxiously await the assay results.”
Two till surveys, carried out during the summer and fall of 2020, defined a gold grain dispersion trail of one kilometre
in the east-west direction and at least one kilomet re in the north-south direction, that remains open towards the
south. The gold dispersion trail appears to end abruptly at the Shebandowan Shear Zone; believed to be the bedrock
source of the gold grains. Within the dispersion trail, 12 of 13 till samples returned between 41 and 457 gold grains
(on a normalized 10kg fraction-size sample). With pristine grains accounting for 78% to 99% of the total gold grains.
The pristine character of the gold grains indicates that there has been very little transport and hence these samples
are interpreted to be proximal to a bedrock source for the gold.
The Delta-1 property is located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt and covers a 17km strike extent of the
Shebandowan Structural Zone which also hosts the low-grade – high-tonnage Moss Lake gold deposit (Wesdome;
WDO:TSX) , 50 km to the west.
Till Sampling and Analytical Protocol
Till Sample Sites were selected based on availabili ty of material and ease of access. Sample acquisiti on was
facilitated by Excavator acquiring the most effecti ve till horizon at or near bedrock interface (down- ice basal
lodgement horizon of the oldest till deposit). Sample size varied between 11.6 and 22.5 kg. Samples were collected
in new plastic pails, sealed, and shipped for analysis.
Till samples were analyzed by IOS Services Geoscien tifiques of Chicoutimi, Quebec using the fully auto mated
scanning electron microscope counting protocol Advanced Recovery Technology for Gold (ARTGold), an exclusive
technology for the recovery of gold grains in till. ARTPhot procedure includes sieving (<1mm), concen tration with
fluidized bed, manual sorting for gold grain >50 mi crons, automated optical sorting for 20-50 micron a nd SEM
validation of the grains.
All gold grains were extracted from the till sample s, confirmed with a chemical analysis of each grain , their sizes
were measured, and each grain was classified by image analysis as “pristine”, “modified” or “reshaped” to estimate
the distance the gold grains were transported from their original bedrock source with pristine grains being the closest
from the bedrock source.
QA/QC of the gold grain analysis is performed on 10% of the samples by reanalyzing fluidized rejects of the samples.

About Delta Resources Limited
Delta Resources Limited is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on growing shareholder value through
the exploration of two very high-potential gold and base-metal projects in Canada.
• DELTA-1, 45 km 2 located 50km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario where an extremely high gold-in-till anomaly and
kilometre-scale gold-bearing alteration halo point to a never-tested regional structure.
• DELTA-2 GOLD and DELTA-2 VMS, 170 km 2 in the prolific Chibougamau District of Quebec, wi th a potential
for hydrothermal-gold and gold-rich VMS deposits.
Delta has 35M shares outstanding has a fully funded exploration for 2021 and in addition, is set to re ceive $1 M in
scaled payments, starting August 1st 2021, through the sale of its Bellechasse-Timmins gold project in SE Quebec.
