Overview of Assets of the Resulting Issuer

Alto Parana Project, Paraguay

The Alto Parana project is located in eastern Paraguay in Alto Parana province approximately 100 km north of Cuidad del Este. The Alto Parana mineralization is atypically high in titanium values when compared to most beach sand deposits. High iron laterite hosts heavy minerals containing high iron and titanium values as ilmenite, titanomagnetite and magnetite.

Work to date on the project has included an extensive program of pitting and auger drilling, development of a test mine, construction of a pilot plant to evaluate the proposed beneficiation flow sheet, tailings handling, sedimentation and remediation, bench scale smelting tests, production of approximately 110 tonnes of concentrate for a large scale smelting test, and associated engineering, marketing, logistical and environmental work.

The project includes a 30 ha land parcel where the pilot plant and test mine are located. CIC is in the process of updating the technical report for the project, which will include an inferred resource estimate.


Imperial Project, Imperial County, California

In June 2012, Delta entered into an option agreement with Goldcorp USA Inc. that grants Delta the option to acquire 100% of the Imperial Project, currently at the PEA and permitting stage, located in Imperial County, California. The option agreement was amended and restated in September 2013 to require work commitments totaling $10.0 million over a four year period to begin only once all permits for the feasibility study drilling program are received, but in any event, no later than June 2021. In addition, required share-based payments under the option agreement are now tied to project milestones including receipt of all permits for the feasibility study drilling program, a positive construction decision and upon the project reaching commercial production. Further contingent payments could be due following commercial production at gold prices in excess of US$1,300 per ounce.
