Delta Resources Launches 2025 Drilling Program at Delta-1 Gold Project in Thunder Bay

Delta Resources Limited has commenced its 2025 drilling program at the Delta-1 Project, 50km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The program, fully funded and set to cover approximately 10,000 metres, focuses on expanding the Eureka Gold Deposit and testing adjacent targets identified through geochemical and geophysical methods.

“With an enhanced understanding of the geometry of the Eureka Gold Deposit, Delta is excited to begin the first phase of its 2025 drilling program,” said André Tessier, President and CEO of Delta Resources. “The entire team is eager to get started to show how large Eureka can really be.”

Expanding the Eureka Gold Deposit

The Eureka Gold Deposit, part of Delta’s flagship Delta-1 property, has seen gold mineralization defined over 2.5km of strike length, with depths reaching 300m and true widths of up to 150m. Previous highlights include intercepts such as 5.92 g/t Au over 31m (including 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9m) and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5m.

This phase of drilling will aim to:

• Expand the known gold inventory at Eureka.

• Improve the understanding of gold mineralization controls.

• Refine the geometry of the deposit.

• Test new high-priority targets near the deposit identified through till and whole-rock geochemistry, complemented by ongoing Induced Polarization (IP) surveys.

Fully Funded Exploration

Delta’s 2025 exploration program benefits from financial support provided by the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP), with up to $200,000 in funding expected upon completion of this phase in February 2025.

A Proven Track Record

Since the discovery of the Eureka Gold Deposit, Delta Resources has completed 115 drill holes totaling approximately 36,000m. This work has revealed a robust mineralized system with significant exploration upside across its 308-square-kilometre land package, which encompasses multiple underexplored corridors of intense alteration and deformation.

Commitment to Quality and Expertise

The drilling program will be supervised by Daniel Boudreau, P.Geo., Manager of Exploration at Delta Resources, and a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 standards.

Delta Resources’ focus on large-scale gold systems in accessible and infrastructure-rich regions underscores its potential to establish the Delta-1 Project as a significant gold resource in Ontario. As drilling progresses, the company continues to deliver on its strategic goals of resource expansion and shareholder value creation.
