Delta Mining and Exploration and Apex GeoScience Agree on Start Date for Phase 3 Exploration

Delta Mining and Exploration (PINKSHEETS: DMXC) is pleased to announce that Apex GeoScience will start Phase 3 Exploration on November 1st. After determining that ground conditions were ideal, Delta and Apex quickly came to an agreement that Phase 3 Exploration should begin as soon as possible.

Representatives from Apex will visit the Homestead property this week to begin preparatory work. Then starting November 1st Apex will spend roughly two weeks collecting close to 30 tonnes of ground sample from the Homestead property. Once the samples are collected they will be driven to a lab in Canada where they will be examined for their content.

It is in the interest of both parties to have all field work wrapped up by mid-November and the results from the samples will be made available to the public as soon as Delta receives them. Also, the company will be updating its corporate website by posting pictures from the property once work begins.

Phase 3 was recommended by Apex after the second stage of exploration produced positive results. This is a program of sampling for macro-diamonds utilizing large samples on the Homestead, Three Buttes, Teigen Butte and Rattlesnake Butte targets. Homestead was chosen because results showed that the Homestead body ranks as the highest priority target. Samples from Homestead contained a number of sub-calcic garnet grains (G10s) and clinopyroxenes that plot within the diamond stability field and overlap with that of diamond inclusions.
