Delta Starts Drilling at Its DELTA-1 GOLD Property, Thunder BAY, Ontario. Provides Update ON the DELTA-2 GOLD Project IN Chibougamau, Quebec.
DELTA STARTS DRILLING AT ITS DELTA-1 GOLD PROPERTY,
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO.
PROVIDES UPDATE ON THE DELTA-2 GOLD PROJECT IN CHIBOUGAMAU, QUEBEC.
March 14, 2021 / Kingston, ON / Accesswire . Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “the Company”) ( TSX-
V:DLTA ) (OTCBB:DTARF ) ( FRANKFURT:6G01 ) is pleased to announce that it started a drilling program at the
Delta-1 Gold Property, 50 kilometres west of Thunde r Bay, Ontario. The objective of the drilling is t o test a one-
kilometer long gold target believed to coincide wit h the Shebandowan Shear Zone; a deep seated structu re that
marks the northern boundary of the Shebandowan greenstone belt. The target is located at the north apex of a gold
dispersion trail where till samples returned up to 457 gold grains in a 10kg sample (see press release dated March
11, 2021 and August 12, 2020 ). Depending on access, up to 14 drill holes are planned for a total of 2,000 meters.
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.
André Tessier, President and CEO commented as follows : “We’re extremely happy to have secured a drill and
crew from Chibougamau Diamond Drilling for this wor k, and we’re just as excited to be testing this tru ly fantastic
target at Delta-1.”
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.
UPDATE: Delta-2 Gold Property, Chibougamau, Quebec Drilling:
Delta has completed seven drill holes for a total o f 1,056 metres. All drill holes were aimed at Delt a’s new gold
discovery as announced March 4, 2021 . The mineralized zone was intersected in six of t he seven drill holes and
varies in width from 25cm to 3.8m; suggesting the vein is boudinaged (pinches and swells).
All assay results are pending. Samples of the mineralized zones were sent to the laboratory for rushed metallic sieve
analyses. Results from these rushed samples are expected shortly and will be released as soon as available. Assay
results for the remainder of the drill holes are expected within regular delays of four to six weeks.
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.
