Delta has reached an agreement with Sky Gold Corp ("Sky") whereby, Delta will assume agreements with a previous vendor to acquire a 100% interest in both properties. Upon signing of the agreement, Delta will issue 1,400,000 shares of the Company to Sky and pay the sum of $75,000. Sky will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR"). Delta will have the option to buyback a 0.5% NSR at anytime for $1M and will have a right of first refusal on the second 0.5% NSR. 1,000,000 common shares are subject to a one-year transfer restriction and 400,000 shares are subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Delta will also pay the original vendor the sum of $350,000 over a three (3) year period ($50,000, $100,000 and $200,000 respectively in years 1, 2 and 3) and incur a total of $1M in exploration expenditures over the same period. The terms are divided equally between both Laurie and Horne properties.

About Delta Resources Limited
Delta Resources Limited is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on growing shareholder value through the exploration of two very high-potential gold and base-metal projects in Canada.
DELTA-1 is Delta's flagship project, where the Company is building on a large gold inventory 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario, at surface and adjacent to the Trans-Canada highway. To date, the gold mineralization is defined over a strike length of 2.0 km, from surface to a vertical depth of 250 m. Highlights include drill intercepts such as 5.92 g/t Au over 31 m (incl. 14.8 g/t Au over 11.9 m), and 1.79 g/t Au over 128.5 m. The property covers 131 square kilometres and Delta has identified a 5 km long corridor of intense alteration and deformation at the property, on strike with the gold zone, that has yet to be thoroughly explored.
The DELTA-2 property covers 205 square kilometres in the prolific Chibougamau District of Quebec. The property holds excellent potential for gold-rich polymetallic VMS deposits as well as hydrothermal-gold deposits. Delta targets VMS deposits such as the LeMoine past producer where 0.76 Mt were mined between 1975 and 1983, grading 9.6% Zn, 4.2% Cu, 4.5 g/t Au and 84 g/t Ag.
