Delta Resources Limited to Acquire Delta-1 Property - Eureka Discovery in Thunder Bay Mining District, Ontario
TheNewswire - October 3, 2019. Delta Resources Ltd.. (TSXV:DLTA) (OTC:GOLHF) is pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the new Eureka gold Discovery ("The Delta-1 Property") in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario.
The property covers 48 square kilometres and is located 50 kilometres west of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario and straddling the Trans-Canada Highway.
The Delta-1 Property is host to a new gold discovery called "EUREKA" where mechanical trenching has exposed a gold-bearing ankerite-pyrite-arsenopyrite alteration zone with a minimum strike length of 2 kilometres and with a width of up to 400 metres. This alteration zone includes two previously known gold occurrences: the Matawin (located on the property) and Bylund (400m east of the property where intercepts of 102.6 metres @ 0.32 g/t Au have been reported).
The EUREKA gold zone is located between the Bylund and Matawin occurrences and is exposed by trenching over a minimum strike length of 400m. Preliminary chip sampling at the EUREKA zone returned assays of 13.8 g/t Au over 8m, 5.5 g/t Au over 5m, 2.4 g/t over 5m, 2.2 g/t Au over 10m, 1.6 g/t Au over 12m and 1.4 g/t Au over 7m.
THE EUREKA ZONE AND ITS POSSIBLE STRIKE EXTENSIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN DRILLED OVER A MINIMUM STRIKE LENGTH OF 1.5 KILOMETRES.
"The entire team at Delta is ecstatic with this acquisition." said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Delta Resources. "The EUREKA zone and the entire DELTA-1 property have immense untapped potential for a new gold discovery of size. We are looking forward to drill-testing some targets this fall."
The property is located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt and covers a 17 km strike extent of the Shebandowan Structural Zone which also hosts the Moss Lake gold deposit*, a large tonnage-low grade deposit located 50 km WSW of the property. The Moss Lake deposit is owned by Wesdome Resources (WDO:TSX) and hosts Indicated Resources of 40 million tonnes at 1.1 g/t Au (1.4M oz) and additional Inferred Resources of 50 million tonnes at 1.1 g/t Au (1.7M oz) (NI-43-101 compliant; https://www.wesdome.com/operations/moss-lake-property).
Other gold occurrences in the area, also hosted by the Shebandowan Structural Zone include the Bandore No4 and Bandore Main Zones located 5 km west of the property and the Pistol Lake Gold Zone, located 10km west of the property.
