This is certainly the most important and ambitious drill campaign which we have embarked on to date and we are very excited about the prospects for these high level and priority targets\" said Andre Tessier, President, Delta Resources Limited.At the Delta-2 VMS project, Delta will be drill-testing:Three (3) deep gravity anomalies with responses comparable to those over known world-class VMS deposits such as the Lemoine Mine (see press release June 22, 2021).Up to 30 high-priority VTEM conductors showing geophysical signatures typical of VMS deposits.Up to 36 drill holes are planned at the property-scale for a possible total of 7,400m, with the highest priority holes drilled first.In addition to drilling, gravity and VTEM geophysical surveys are also planned to cover the newly acquired Dollier-Cartier property which is contiguous to the Delta-2 VMS claims.At the Delta-2 Gold project Delta will be drill-testing:Two (2) structures trending 060 azimuth and hosting both the R14 gold prospect and Delta's new OLI gold discovery (see press release on April 21, 2021). The structures span several kilometres and remain largely untested between the gold occurrences and along strike.A new and never drill-tested gold-bearing structure trending 020 azimuth which hosts the newly discovered (summer 2021) Lone Pine gold occurrence where preliminary assay results have returned 18.8 g/t Au and 21.1 g/t Au in grab samples. The gold structure can be followed on LiDAR imagery for a strike length of up to 1.5km.Several never-tested structures trending both 020 and 060 azimuth, that were outlined on LiD...
