Purchase of 443 claims covering 93 square kilometres
August 6, 2024 / Kingston, Ontario / Newsfile Corp. Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or “The Company”) (TSX-V: DLTA) (OTCBB:DTARF) (Frankfurt: 6G01) is pleased announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Ternowesky property further expanding its land position at the Delta-1 property in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The expansive property consists of 443 claim units spanning over seven (7) townships and covering over 93 square kilometres. Delta’s land package now covers over 306 square-kilometres in the central portion of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. The property now covers a 35-kilometre strike extent of both the Shebandowan and Gold Creek deformation zones. Both structures are gold-endowed, crustal-scale structural zones at the unconformable boundary between Temiskaming-Type sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks of the Greenwater Formation; the same geological setting as Delta’s Eureka Gold Zone.
The claims are contiguous with the Delta-1 property (see map below).

“Delta has assembled an outstanding land package with significant potential for multiple deposits, not only for gold mineralization, but also for magmatic copper-nickel deposits such as the former producing Inco Mine. The Delta team is already working up new gold targets for further testing later in 2024. We are anxious to reveal the true potential of this newly acquired ground as Delta takes a significant controlling land position in the Eastern Shebandowan Greenstone Belt.” said André Tessier, President and CEO.
Delta has reached an agreement with the Vendors whereby Delta will pay $150,000 and issue 1.1M shares of the Company upon TSX approval of the transaction. The Vendors will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty (“NSR”). Delta will have the option to buy back a 1% NSR at any time for $2M and will have a right of first refusal on the second 1% NSR to a maximum of $4M. Half of the shares issued by Delta will be subject to the regulatory hold of four (4) months while the other half are subject to a voluntary hold of twelve (12) months hold by the Vendors.
The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.

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 on a large gold inventory 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario, at surface and adjacent to the Trans-Canada highway. To date, the gold mineralization is defined over a strike length of 2.0 km, from surface to a vertical depth of 250 m. Highlights include drill 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 306 square kilometres where Delta has identified multiple corridors of intense alteration and deformation, on strike with, and to the south of the Eureka gold zone and that has yet to be thoroughly explored.
The DELTA-2 property covers 205 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.
