Results from the final fifteen (15) drill holes of the second phase drill program are provided in Table 1 below .
Other results from the forty-eight (48) drill holes comprising this phase of drilling were released on September
12, 2023 and October 5, 2023.and October 23, 2023.
Highlights:
Depth Extension at Delta-1 (Figure 2):
• D1-23-72 intersected 1.49 g/t Au over 18.9 metres including 2.27 g/t Au over 10.0 metres.
o Including a three-metre interval grading 5.20 g/t Au,
o This intersection extends the Beta Zone to a vertical depth of 285 metres , 100 metres east of
drill hole D1-23-86.
• D1-23-86 intersected 0.64 g/t Au over 58.7 metres including 2.20 g/t Au over 9.0 metres
o This intersection extends the Beta Zone to a vertical depth of 240 metres 100 metres west of
drill hole D1-23-72.

Drill holes D1-23-77 and 78 were drilled respectively 100 metres east and west of drill hole D1-
23-53: 1.18 g/t Au over 42.0 metres (September 12, 2023).
Eastern Extension of Gold mineralization and alteration corridor (Figure 1):
• D1-23-73 intersected 0.50 g/t Au over 6.5 metres, and
• D1-23-74 intersected 0.49 g/t Au over 15.50 metres.

g/t Au over 1.0 metres each (May 11, 2023), showing the potential for new mineralized zones east of
the currently defined gold zone.
• D1-23-76 is located 1.15 kilometres east of hole D1 -23-38 and intersected the alteration corridor over
a core length of 202 metres.
Western Extension of Gold mineralization (Figure 1):
• D1-23-83 intersected 0.63 g/t Au over 10.5 metres including 3.17 g/t over 1.5 metres.
• The intersection is a 275-metre step-out west of the currently defined gold zone.
New High-Grade Zones intercepted at depth showing under-ground potential (Figure 2):
• Hole D1-23-86 intersected 9.66 g/t Au over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of approximately 365 metres.
• These high-grade gold intercepts at depth have become common at Delta-1, such as in drill holes D1-
23-67: 24.4 g/t Au over 1.5 metre s, 200 metres vertical, a nd D1-23-68: 12.5 g/t Au over 1.0 metres
and 11.2 g/t Au over 1.5 metres at 382 metres and 406 metres vertical respectively (October 23, 2023).
André Tessier, President and CEO commented : “These latest results demonstrate that the mineralization
and the broader alteration/deformation corridor are still open in all directions. With all the phase two drilling
results now in-hand, we are continuing to integrate and model all of this new geological and assay data to better
our understanding of the structural controls and geometry, as well as the geochemical and geophysical
signatures of the mineralized zone. We are looking forward to the 2024 drilling program, which we strongly
believe will benefit from the technical and targeting work currently being undertaken.”

Geological Discussion
The Delta-1 project is located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt and covers a 1 9 km strike extent of the
Shebandowan Structural Zone. Gold mineralization at Eureka, occurs within a broad corridor of highly altered
(ankerite-calcite-silicification and albitization) rocks exhibiting highly anomalous gold values of up to 0.2 g/t gold.
Higher-grade mineralization within this corridor is associated with a stockwork of quartz -ankerite-pyrite-gold
veinlets, with increased density of these veinlets generally proportional to increased gold grade. The gold
mineralized zones have so far been intersected for a strike of approximately 2.3 kilometres, with a higher-grade
segment extending for nearly 950 metres. So far, the mineralized zone extends from surface to a vertical depth
of approximately 250 metres. Mineralization strikes approximately 100 to 120 degrees azimuth, with a dip of 75-
80 degrees north (shallower dips of 50N are observed in the western portion of the zone) . Higher-grade, wide
ore shoots are observed and appear to be plunging approximately 40 degrees towards the west, within this
structural corridor. Similar ore shoots are often observed in structurally controlled gold deposits and often occur
with a certain periodicity. The currently defined ore shoots are open at depth.

The Next Steps
Delta has paused drilling in early October 2023 to analyze and further interpret the very large amount of
geological, structural, and geochemical data accumulated since the beginning of this phase of drilling. Delta
completed a 37-line kilometre 3D Induced Polarization survey covering 282 hectares, to better characterize the
known mineralized zone and explore the extensions of the gold -bearing structure. Delta also completed a
televiewer probing survey on fourteen (14) strategically located drill holes to collect valuable structural
information on possible fault and vein orientations. Compilation of geological and geochemical data is also
underway. This multidisciplinary approach will be used to help vector towards new mineralized zones within the
gold-bearing structure. Delta will resume its drill campaign shortly after this work is completed, likely in January
2024.
Analytical Protocol and QA/QC
Chemical analyses reported in this press release were performed at AGAT Laboratories. AGAT Laboratories is
accredited to ISO 17025 by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Sample preparation was performed in
Thunder Bay, Ontario. Sampling and analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive Quality Assurance
and Quality Control program that includes duplicate samples, blanks, and analytical standards.
The following assaying protocol was adopted at Delta -1 to reduce the assay variability due to nugget effect
caused by visible gold:
• If visible gold is observed in the sample or within the assumed mineralized zone, the assay is performed by
Metallic Screening whereby the entire sample is crushed, a 1 kg portion is pulverized and screened to
106µm and analyzed by 50 g fire assay with gravimetric finish at the AGAT Laboratory in Thunder Bay,
Ontario.
• If no visible gold is observed or outside of the mineralized zones, an initial assay is performed by 50 g Fire
Assay with ICP-OES finish at the AGAT Laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. If the assay result exceeds 2.0
g/t gold, remaining rejects are pulverized, a 1 kg portion is screened to 106µm and analyzed by 50 g fire
assay with gravimetric finish at the AGAT Laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
NQ-size drill core was sawed in half lengthwise and half of the core was sampled and sealed in clean plastic
bags before being shipped for assay. The remaining half of the core was replaced in core boxes and is stored
at Delta’s core storage facilities. Standards and blanks are inserted in the sequence of samples on site as
quality assurance and quality control in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard
samples accredited by SGS Canada Minerals Laboratories during the analytical process.

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 is Delta’s flagship project, where the company is building gold ounces 50 kilometres west of Thunder
Bay, Ontario, at surface and adjacent to the Trans-Canada highway. To date, the gold mineralization is defined
over 1.8 km from surface to a vertical depth of 250 m. Highlights include d rill intercepts such as 5.92 g/t Au
over 31 m (incl. 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9 m ), and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5 m. The property covers 107 square
kilometres and Delta has identified a 5 km long corridor of intense alteration and deformation at the property,
on strike with the gold zone, that has yet to be thoroughly explored.
The DELTA-2 property covers 194 square kilometres in the prolific Chibougamau District of Quebec. The
property holds excellent potential for gold-rich polymetallic VMS deposits as well as hydrothermal-gold deposits.
Delta targets VMS deposits such as the LeMoine past producer where 0.76 Mt were mined between 1975 and
1983, grading 9.6% Zn, 4.2% Cu, 4.5 g/t Au and 84 g/t Ag.
Figure 1: Map of the Delta-1 Gold Zone, showing the new assay results from this press release. The map also shows the alteration corridor
that is hosting the gold mineralization and the East Extension of the mineralized zone. This alteration corridor is defined over approximately
five kilometres of strike length at Delta-1. Additional drilling will be testing for the presence of high-grade gold shoots within this corridor.
