DELTA EXPLORATION INC.

Appleton Exploration Inc. has received further gold assay results from the 2009 reverse circulation drilling program on the Manalo Gold Project in the Republic of Mali, West Africa. MDL-09-056 has returned 192 grams per tonnes Au (6.17oz/t) over a 10 metre quartz rich zone including 640 gpt Au (20.58oz/t) over 3 metres. These values were confirmed in the lab QA/QC checks, which gave values of 148 gpt Au over 10 metres, including 493 gpt Au over 3 metres. Appleton has requested a second re-assay of the pulps, a resplit of the coarse rejects and also has submitted a second split from the original reverse circulation field samples for the 3 metre interval.
