March 11, 2021 / Kingston, ON / Accesswire . Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “the Company”) ( TSX-
V:DLTA ) (OTCPINK:DTARF ) ( FRANKFURT:6G01 ) is pleased to announce results from a till samplin g survey at
the Delta-1 Property, 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Results from the survey indicate that the bedrock
source of gold from the survey is located on the Delta-1 property.
As previously reported in a press release dated August 12, 2020, a preliminary till survey in the Eureka area of the
Delta-1 property outlined a gold dispersion trail t hat pointed to a source of gold believed to coincid e with a one-
kilometre-long segment of the Shebandowan Shear Zone. The most recent gold in till survey completed by Delta in
October 2020, confirms that the source of gold from that dispersion trail is located on the Delta-1 property.
During the preliminary survey, carried out during t he summer of 2020, gold grains were recovered from every till
sample with eight samples returning between 41 and 457 gold grains (on a normalized 10kg fraction-size sample).
With pristine grains accounting for 78% to 99% of t he 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 prox imal to a
bedrock source for the gold. One sample from the O ctober 2020 survey extends the dispersion trail to the east by
approximately 250m with a count of 234 gold grains with 91% pristine grains (on a normalized 10kg frac tion-size
sample).
In addition, four till samples from the October 202 0 till survey were collected at the northern proper ty limit, north of
the Eureka Gold Occurrence and north of the gold dispersion trail (see attached map). Those four samples returned
exceptionally low gold grain counts ranging from on e to six, thus closing the gold dispersion trail on to the Delta-1
property and confirming that the source of gold gra ins from the gold dispersion trail originates from the Delta-1
property. These results further support the Shebandowan Structure as a target, immediately south of or underneath
the Trans-Canada highway.
Delta has already secured the encroachment permit t hat allows us to drill adjacent to and underneath t he Trans-
Canada Highway. The permit is valid until November 2021 however, Delta is currently planning to begin drilling this
target as soon as a drill becomes available.
André Tessier, President and CEO commented as follows:
“All the geological evidence we have collected so fa r at the Eureka Gold occurrence at Delta-1 point to the
Shebandowan Shear Zone north from our 2019 drilling program and now our till survey confirms the sourc e to be
on the Delta ground. This has developed into a tru ly fantastic target for Delta and we are enthusiast ically looking
forward to drilling this target.”
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.

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, 170 km 2 in the “red-hot” Chibougamau District of Quebec, with 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 receive $1.3M in
scaled payments, before September 2021, through the sale of its Bellechasse-Timmins gold project in SE Quebec.
