[{"type":"text","content":"Delta Resources Intersects Wide Zones of Low-Grade Gold from Its First Exploratory Drilling Program at the Eureka in Thunder Bay, OntarioKINGSTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2020 / Delta Resources Limited (\"Delta\" or \"The Company\") (TSXV:DLTA) is pleased to announce its final drill results from its first exploratory drilling program at the Delta-1 Property, 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.Delta completed a total of 1,009 metres of drilling in six drill holes in late November 2019, testing the Eureka Gold Occurrence. Preliminary results were press released on January 8th, 2020 (https://deltaresources.ca/delta-resources-announces-preliminary-results-from-its-first-drilling-program-at-the-eureka-gold-discovery-thunder-bay-mining-district-ontario/). Current results include additional sampling that followed.Results to date show a very wide zone of low-grade gold mineralization intersected over a 200 metres strike length and extending vertically from surface to a depth of up to 110 metres. The mineralized zone is open to the North, West, East and at depth.Andre Tessier, Chief Executive Officer of Delta Resources, commented as follows:\"We're very encouraged by these first results at Eureka. These wide intercepts of pervasive alteration and low-grade disseminated-style gold mineralization in weakly deformed rocks are telling us the mineralizing system is very strong. The objective of future exploration will be to identify the feeder structures that host the higher-grade gold mineralization.\"Complete results are as follows:DRILL HOLEFrom(metres)To(metres)Grade(g/t)Core Length (metres)DT1-19-0117,031,00,1814,0 73,274,34,101,1DT1-19-023,9110,60,11106,7incl22,525,40,512,90incl94,7110,60,3315,9DT1-19-0310,0151,00,17141,0incl10,053,00,4543,0incl14,041,50,6427,5incl14,027,80,8413,8incl18,025,51,107,50DT1-19-042,830,00,2127,2incl13,020,50,377,50DT1-19-059,0146,00,20137,0incl35,057,00,7322,0incl35,043,01,008,0incl50,656,00,945,4DT1-19-069,032,50,1223,5*Delta's current interpretation suggests that true widths of the mineralized zones are approximately 70% of the drill intercepts.From north to south, drilling intersected clastic sediments, ultramafic flows and feldspar-phyric mafic flows crosscut by dikes of intermediate composition.
