Delta Extends I-Zone GOLD Mineralization BY More Than 400 Metres, Thunder BAY, Ontario
DELTA EXTENDS I-ZONE GOLD MINERALIZATION BY MORE THAN 400 METRES,
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO
September 21, 2026 / Toronto, ON / Newsfile Corp. Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “the
Company”) (TSX-V: DLTA) (OTCQB: DTARF) (FRANKFURT: 6GO1) is pleased to report initial
channel-sampling results that extend known gold mineralization at the I-Zone by more than 400
metres eastward at its Delta-1 Gold Project, approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay,
Ontario. Results include 4.85 g/t Au over 8.0 metres in trench D1-26-TR17 and 2.91 g/t Au
over 8.3 metres and 4.23 g/t Au over 4.3 metres in trench D1-26-TR20 (Table 1).
The I-Zone remains open along strike in both directions and is largely untested at depth.

Zone 16 - North Reported Interval
D1-26-TR17-01 265 11.9 272182 5383001 4.85 g/t Au over 8.0 m
D1-26-TR20-07 74 8.3 272435 5383008 2.91 g/t Au over 8.3 m
D1-26-TR20-08 80 4.3 272445 5383010 4.23 g/t Au over 4.3 m
Preliminary outcrop sampling across the area has also returned gold values such as 2.49 g/t
Au, 6.06 g/t Au and 16.1 g/t Au (Figure 1). Laboratory turnaround times are currently several
weeks longer than usual due to a notable increase in exploration activity across Canada.
Assays remain pending for hundreds of additional channel and grab samples collected as part
of Delta’s ongoing exploration program.
Additional results will be released as they become available.
Ron Kopas, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Delta, commented:
“Our summer exploration program has demonstrated significant eastward continuity over 400
metres that had not previously been established. Our first phase of drilling in the I-Zone Sector
will now test the mineralized system along strike and at depth, where we see strong potential for
high-grade mineralization.
Our thesis at the Delta-1 Property continues to strengthen as we are only beginning to
understand the scale and potential of this system. As we apply a more systematic exploration
approach, we believe we will continue to identify highly prospective targets anchored by the
Eureka discovery.”
Note: Gold mineralization at I-Zone is primarily associated with approximately N–S-trending extensional quartz veins
hosted within approximately E–W-trending felsic dikes. Channel samples were oriented to intersect the mineralized
veins and, therefore, do not represent the true width of the host dikes. Observed true widths of the felsic dikes at
surface are variable and range from less than one metre to approximately four metres. Grab samples are selective by
nature and may not be representative of the mineralization on the property.
Figure 1. I-Zone Sector – Exploration Results
I-Zone and Crayfish Creek Fault Corridor
The I-Zone is a historically recognized gold occurrence where previous drilling returned several
significant gold intercepts, including 4.32 g/t Au over 41.0 metres, 4.53 g/t Au over 14.4 metres,
and 4.36 g/t Au over 20.4 metres.
The I-Zone forms part of the broader Crayfish Creek Fault corridor, an underexplored area
along a major regional structure where historical exploration by Inco identified more than two
dozen high-grade mineral occurrences, many of which have seen little or no systematic follow-
up exploration. Delta’s current regional program is systematically evaluating these targets using
modern exploration methods, with the objective of identifying and advancing additional gold
targets for drilling.

Qualified Person
Daniel Boudreau, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration at Delta Resources Limited, is the
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the
technical information contained in this news release.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Channel samples were analyzed under Delta Resources’ Quality Assurance and Quality Control
(QA/QC) program, which includes the systematic insertion of certified reference materials and
blanks. Samples containing visible gold, as well as samples returning greater than 2.0 g/t Au on
an initial 50 g fire assay, were analyzed using a metallic screening procedure consisting of a 1
kg pulverized sample screened to 106 µm, followed by 50 g fire assay with gravimetric finish.
QA/QC results are reviewed by the Qualified Person to ensure analytical results meet
acceptable quality-control thresholds.
About Delta Resources Limited
Delta Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on
advancing its Delta-1 Gold Project in Ontario. The Company has identified a large, near-surface
gold system located approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, adjacent to the Trans-
Canada Highway. The Delta-1 Property covers approximately 340 square kilometres and hosts
multiple gold-bearing corridors, including the Eureka Gold Deposit and the highly prospective I-
Zone–Crayfish Creek Fault trend.
The Eureka Gold Deposit extends over 2.5 kilometres in strike length and to depths exceeding
300 metres, with mineralization intersected to approximately 600 metres vertical depth and
remaining open in all directions. Highlights include drill intercepts such as 5.92 g/t Au over 31 m
(including 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9 m) and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5 m.
