With pristine grains accounting for 78% to 99% of the total gold grains. The pristine character of the gold grains indicates that there has been very little transport and hence these samples are interpreted to be proximal to a bedrock source for the gold.André Tessier, President and CEO commented as follows:\"These are exceptional till results considering the limited number of samples collected, suggesting a very proximal and rich bedrock source. Even more interesting, the glacial trend from this survey coupled with our 2019 drill campaign (approximately 1000 metres in 6 holes) point to the same source for gold mineralization. Delta will be returning to the Delta-1 property in September to follow up and to initiate a property-scale till survey.\"The survey was carried-out to determine the effectiveness of till sampling to indicate bedrock sources of gold mineralization at the Delta-1 Project. A total of only 23 till samples were collected in the eastern part of the property to cover an area surrounding the Kasper, Matawin, and Eureka gold occurrences.Till sample \"G\" was instrumental in determining the effectiveness of the method as it was collected 35 metres down-ice from the Kasper gold occurrence and was found to contain 209 gold grains /10kg with 99% of the grains being pristine.Sample A-10, for which the bedrock source is not known, returned 457 gold grains /10kg with 95% of the grains being pristine (see attached photo). Sample A-10, is located at the apex of a dispersion glacial trail (illustrated on the attached map) that points to a 700m long target area along a fault zone trending 080º azimuth loc...
