Delta Mining and Exploration Close to Completing Due Diligence, Awaits Sample Results

For assistance, the company hired an outside consultant Mr. Alan Wright, a Registered Professional Geologist (RPG) who has had a previous working relationship with two of Delta's Board Members, Dr. Barry Rayment and Mr. Steven Kay. Mr. Wright had two main objectives -- conduct a title search with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to confirm that the claims are registered to Amigo Inc. and Mr. Garry Carlson, and visit the Delcer Buttes property to collect surface rock samples.

After confirming with the BLM that the claims do indeed belong to Amigo Inc. and Mr. Carlson, Mr. Wright visited the property and collected 11 surface rock samples to confirm and establish the presence of gold, silver and copper as well as any other precious metal indicators in the area and to characterize the geochemical regime. The samples were evenly distributed over the entire property and were submitted to the ALS-Chemex Laboratories in Elko Nevada for analysis.

Once the results are known, a report along with exploration program recommendations will be submitted by Mr. Wright. In the meantime, as Delta eagerly awaits the report, the company has taken the initiative and is moving ahead in preparing a contract with Amigo Inc. Both parties have started to lay the foundation for a binding agreement so that when a report and recommendation is presented a contract can be executed without further delay.
