Delta-1 Gold Project Awarded $200,000 Funding Under the Ontario Junior Exploration Program

Delta Resources Limited (TSXV: DLTA,OTC:DTARF) (OTC Pink: DTARF) (FSE: 6GO1) ("Delta" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $200,000 in non-dilutive funding under the Ontario Junior Exploration Program ("OJEP") to advance exploration at its Delta-1 Gold Project near Thunder Bay, Ontario.

This marks the fourth consecutive year of OJEP funding for Delta, reinforcing the Company's consistent exploration results and the Province's support for high-quality mineral development in Ontario.

In 2025, Delta completed 11,146.5 metres of drilling, advanced a large-scale 70 km² till survey, and carried out multiple geophysical programs, including IP surveys and a high-resolution drone magnetic survey. These efforts, combined with trenching and surface work, position Delta among the most active exploration companies in the province.

Building on this momentum, and supported by OJEP funding, Delta plans to undertake additional drilling, trenching, and surface exploration programs in 2026.

"Ontario is leading the charge to secure the minerals that will power our economy and strengthen our sovereignty," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. "Through OJEP, we're backing companies like Delta Resources Limited to advance promising projects here at home—unlocking resources, creating jobs, and building a more self-reliant and secure Canadian economy."

Ron Kopas, Chief Executive Officer of Delta, commented:

"We are pleased to receive continued support from the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Junior Exploration Program. This $200,000 in non-dilutive funding allows us to accelerate exploration at our Delta-1 Gold Project while preserving shareholder value.

"OJEP support underscores the strength of our exploration progress and reinforces Ontario's position as a leading mining jurisdiction."
