[{"type":"text","content":"Delta Starts Drilling at Its Delta-1 Gold Property, Thunder Bay, OntarioProvides Update on the Delta-2 Gold Project in Chibougamau, QuebecKINGSTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2021 / Delta Resources Limited (\"Delta\" or \"the Company\") (TSXV:DLTA)(OTCPINK:DTARF)(FRA:6G01) is pleased to announce that it started a drilling program at the Delta-1 Gold Property, 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The objective of the drilling is to test a one-kilometer long gold target believed to coincide with the Shebandowan Shear Zone; a deep seated structure that marks the northern boundary of the Shebandowan greenstone belt. The target is located at the north apex of a gold dispersion trail where till samples returned up to 457 gold grains in a 10kg sample (see press release dated March 11, 2021 and August 12, 2020). Depending on access, up to 14 drill holes are planned for a total of 2,000 meters.Two till surveys, carried out during the summer and fall of 2020, defined a gold grain dispersion trail of one kilometre in the east-west direction and at least one kilometre in the north-south direction, that remains open towards the south. The gold dispersion trail appears to end abruptly at the Shebandowan Shear Zone; believed to be the bedrock source of the gold grains. Within the dispersion trail, 12 of 13 till samples returned between 41 and 457 gold grains (on a normalized 10kg fraction-size sample). 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: \"We're extremely happy to have secured a drill and crew from Chibougamau Diamond Drilling for this work, and we're just as excited to be testing this truly fantastic target at Delta-1.\"The Delta-1 property is located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt and covers a 17km strike extent of the Shebandowan Structural Zone which also hosts the low-grade - high-tonnage Moss Lake gold deposit (WDO), 50 km to the west.UPDATE: Delta-2 Gold Property, Chibougamau, Quebec Drilling:Delta has completed seven drill holes for a total of 1,056 metres. All drill holes were aimed at Delta's new gold discovery as announced March 4, 2021. The miner...
