Delta Resources Ltd. Returns Drills to Its New Gold Discovery at Its Delta-2 Gold Property in Chibougamau
KINGSTON, March 22, 2021 - Delta Resources Ltd. ("Delta" or "the Company") (TSXV:DLTA) (OTCBB:DTARF) (FRANKFURT:6G01) is pleased to announce it has secured a drill and is currently drilling to further test its new gold discovery at the Delta-2 Gold Property in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drilling began on March 13th and is ongoing. The primary objective of this phase of drilling is to better understand the geometry of the two mineralized zones intersected in drill holes D2-21-28 and 29. Up to (7) seven drill holes are planned for a total of approximately 1000 metres. Delta is planning to test the extensions of the mineralized zones after the spring breakup.
As announced in a press release dated March 4th, 2021, Delta reported high grade gold intercepts in two drill holes with the following results (core angles suggest true thicknesses to be close to drill-core lengths):
Drill Hole D2-21-28:
- 24.6m to 27.1m: 18.88 g/t gold over 2.5m
Including: 50.75 g/t gold over 0.9m - 120.8 to 121.6m: 14.08 g/t gold over 0.8m
Drill Hole D2-21-29:
- 25.0m to 27.0m: 3.76 g/t gold over 2.0m
- 116.4m to 117.5m: 1.81 g/t gold over 1.2m
Including: 3.13 g/t Gold over 0.5m
The new discovery was made while testing the extensions of the Due Diligence gold occurrence discovered through prospecting by Delta in 2019. At Due Diligence, surface grab samples had returned up to 55.8 g/t gold in grab samples (see press release October 28, 2019) while channel samples returned 22.97 g/t gold and 10.25 g/t gold over 25 centimetres (see press release October 26, 2020).
Other News:
To clarify further communications to investors, Delta Management has decided to subdivide its Delta-2 Property to better reflect the sought-after commodities in the different parts of the property. As of this press release:
- THE DELTA-2 GOLD PROPERTY will refer to the southwestern portion of the property which shows a high potential for hydrothermal gold mineralization.
- THE DELTA-2 VMS PROPERTY will refer to the northeastern portion of the property where Delta is exploring for gold-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits.
Sampling, Analytical Protocol
Geochemical analyses were performed by SGS Canada Minerals Laboratories in Lakefield, Ontario and Burnaby British Columbia.
Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration and Delta Geologists in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core is cut in half and one half of the core is sealed in clean plastic bags on site. 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.
Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Values over 3 ppm Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with finish by gravimetry. Samples containing visible gold mineralization are analyzed by metallic sieve. For additional quality assurance and quality control, all samples are crushed to 90% less than 2 mm prior to pulverization. The samples are homogenized, and half of the crushed sample is pulverized (the other half kept for re-analysis purposes if necessary). Once pulverized, 100% of the coarse fraction is weighed and analyzed and the fine fraction is weighed and analyzed with three separate analyses on 50 grams of material each.
