Delta Extends Gold Discovery in Ontario
News related to:Delta Resources Limited · 3 min read
Delta Resources Limited has extended the known gold mineralization at the I-Zone by more than 400 metres eastward at its Delta-1 Gold Project, approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Initial channel-sampling results have identified gold values such as 2.49 g/t Au, 6.06 g/t Au, and 16.1 g/t Au, with the most notable being 4.85 g/t Au over 8.0 metres in trench D1-26-TR17 and 2.91 g/t Au over 8.3 metres and 4.23 g/t Au over 4.3 metres in trench D1-26-TR20. The I-Zone remains open along strike in both directions and is largely untested at depth.
The I-Zone forms part of the broader Crayfish Creek Fault corridor, an underexplored area along a major regional structure where historical exploration by Inco identified more than two dozen high-grade mineral occurrences, many of which have seen little or no systematic follow-up exploration. Delta's current regional program is systematically evaluating these targets using modern exploration methods, with the objective of identifying and advancing additional gold targets for drilling.
The I-Zone is a historically recognized gold occurrence where previous drilling returned several significant gold intercepts, including 4.32 g/t Au over 41.0 metres, 4.53 g/t Au over 14.4 metres, and 4.36 g/t Au over 20.4 metres. The I-Zone remains open along strike and at depth, and the mineralized system is largely untested at depth. Preliminary outcrop sampling across the area has also returned gold values such as 2.49 g/t Au, 6.06 g/t Au, and 16.1 g/t Au, with the most notable being 6.06 g/t Au.
The I-Zone Gold Project is located on the Delta-1 Property, which covers approximately 340 square kilometres and hosts multiple gold-bearing corridors, including the Eureka Gold Deposit and the highly prospective I-Zone-Crayfish Creek Fault trend. The Eureka Gold Deposit extends over 2.5 kilometres in strike length and to depths exceeding 300 metres, with mineralization intersected to approximately 600 metres vertical depth and remaining open in all directions. Highlights include drill intercepts such as 5.92 g/t Au over 31 metres (including 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9 metres) and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5 metres.
Delta Resources Limited, a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its Delta-1 Gold Project in Ontario, has identified a large, near-surface gold system located approximately 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Delta-1 Property covers approximately 340 square kilometres and hosts multiple gold-bearing corridors, including the Eureka Gold Deposit and the highly prospective I-Zone-Crayfish Creek Fault trend.
