DELTA COMMENCES 10,000-METRE DRILL PROGRAM AT EUREKA AND I-ZONE, DELTA-1, THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO
Delta Resources Ltd. has commenced a 10,000-metre drill program at its 340-square-kilometre Delta-1 gold project, located approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ont. The program will test extensions of gold mineralization at the Eureka gold deposit and continuity along the I-Zone mineralized trend.
- Eureka: Drilling will test the depth and down-plunge potential of the mineralized system, as well as its lateral extensions, toward the Shabaqua target, where hole D1-25-150 returned an interval of 4.25 grams per tonne over 11.8 metres, approximately two kilometres west of Eureka (see Jan. 13, 2026, press release).
- The I-Zone: Drilling will test the continuity of gold mineralization at depth and along strike of the recently extended mineralized trend (see Sept. 21, 2026, press release). Additional drill targets may be defined as results from the summer 2026 surface exploration program are received and interpreted.
Ron Kopas, chief executive officer (CEO) of Delta, commented:
"This drill program is designed to test some of the most significant opportunities we currently see for expanding the mineralized footprint of the Eureka gold deposit. We are stepping out aggressively to test the interpreted westward plunge of the higher-grade core at depth as well as exploring the westward continuity of the deposit towards the Shabaqua area.
"At the I-Zone, our objective for this first phase of drilling is to establish continuity both vertically and along strike of the recently defined eastward continuity of the mineralization over 400 metres. As results continue to come in from the ongoing surface exploration program at the I-Zone sector, additional drill targets may be refined and tested. Surface exploration work will continue in parallel with the drilling program as long as weather conditions permit."

About Delta Resources Ltd.
Delta Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its Delta-1 gold project in Ontario. The company has identified a large, near-surface gold system located approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Delta-1 property covers approximately 340 square kilometres and hosts multiple gold-bearing corridors, including the Eureka gold deposit and the highly prospective I-Zone-Crayfish Creek Fault trend.
The Eureka gold deposit extends over 2.5 kilometres in strike length and to depths exceeding 300 metres, with mineralization intersected to approximately 600 metres vertical depth and remaining open in all directions. Highlights include drill intercepts such as 5.92 grams per tonne Au over 31 metres (including 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9 m) and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5 m.
