Delta Exploration Inc.: New Uranium Zone Discovered at Falea Project, Mali, West Africa

Delta Exploration Inc. ("Delta") (TSX VENTURE:DEV) is pleased to report that
initial Phase Two drilling between October and December 2007 has resulted in the
discovery of a new zone of uranium mineralization over an area of 1100 x 300
metres. This new North Zone is located 1.5 kilometres north of the Central Zone
and remains open in three directions. Rockgate Capital Corp. has earned a 60%
interest in the Falea Uranium-Copper from Delta Exploration, and is the operator
of the project.


The discovery of the North Zone is based on seven recently completed exploration
diamond drill holes, spaced at 200 metre intervals and one 100 metre spaced
diamond drill hole. When averaged, the grade and thickness of the eight
individual holes is 0.104% U3O8 and 4.06 metres, respectively. The zone contains
some of the highest radiometric readings at Falea to date. Table # 1 contains
all holes drilled in the North Zone.

The thickness of mineralization recorded in Table # 1 is considered true
thickness for all holes except holes DF-069-70 whose true thickness of
mineralization is estimated to be 3.48 and 4.01 metres respectively. All samples
were sent to ECO TECH Laboratories in Kamloops, BC, ICP-MS analysis was
completed on all samples, XRF analysis is to be completed at ALS-Chemex in
Vancouver, BC. All sample results are drawn from assays and are not based on
down-hole logging.


The Phase Two diamond drilling program consists of a minimum of 12,000 metres of
diamond drilling over approximately 40 holes and is intended to test the
potential of the Central Zone Structural Corridor (CZSC). The north-south
trending CZSC is currently projected to be over 8 kilometres in length and up to
1.5 kilometres in width. The current program is designed to expand the known
mineralization of the Central Zone which remains open and also to explore the
corridor north from the Central Zone to the as yet untested Bodi Uranium Zone,
located approximately 2.8 kilometres to the north and within the CZSC.


Karl Kottmeier, President of Rockgate, commented, "The discovery of this new
zone is a substantial advancement for the Falea project as the new discovery
area was not expected to be as well mineralized as the Central Zone and as such
was not one of our higher priority targets. The new zone is already almost the
same size in area as the Central Zone and both remain open in at least three
directions. We have several known uranium occurrences within the CZSC and two
separate structural corridors with radiometric anomalies and all have yet to be
drill tested."


The Falea exploration permit covers 150 square kilometres of the Falea-North
Guinea-Senegal basin, a Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin marked by significant
radiometric anomalies. Mr. Lorne Warner, P. Geo, Director and VP Exploration of
Rockgate Capital Corp., is the Qualified Person for this press release under NI
43-101.
