Delta Exploration Inc.: North Zone Assay Results From Diamond Drilling at U-Ag-Cu Falea Project, Mali, West Africa

Delta Exploration Inc. ("Delta") (TSX VENTURE:DEV) is pleased to report
additional significant assay results received from four holes completed in the
North Zone. These holes are located outside of the recently discovered,
high-grade uranium-silver-copper mineralization contained within the North Zone
as announced May 21, 2008. Assay results have now been received from 17 of the
44 diamond drill holes completed on the North Zone. The average grade of the 17
holes reported to date is 0.207% U3O8 and the average thickness is 3.36 metres.
As listed in Table 1 below, all North Zone holes continue to contain significant
concentrations of uranium +/- silver and copper.

Diamond drill hole DF-086 intersected strong uranium mineralization on both
sides of the Road Fault, a reverse, synsedimentary fault which has displaced the
flat-lying, uranium-bearing Kania Sandstone 55 to 60 metres up to the east.


The north-west trending North Zone averages 450 metres in width over most of the
1500 metre strike length tested to date and remains open along strike to the
east and west. The Kania Sandstone at the North Zone consists of much thicker
and coarser-grained sandstone and conglomerate relative to the Central Zone.
Much of the uranium mineralization is found within these coarser grained layers.


The current drill program has continued to test the North and Central Zones and
has completed initial drill testing of the Bodi Area and Eastern Structural
Corridor. Bodi is located approximately 1.0 kilometres north of the North Zone
and the Eastern Structural Corridor is situated approximately 4.0 kilometres
east of the Central Zone. Assay results from the two exploration areas are
pending. Rockgate has now completed over 40,000 metres of drilling in 149
diamond drill holes at the Falea project.


All zones drilled to date in the Kania Sequence basal sandstone host uranium
mineralization with anomalous to high grade concentrations of copper and/or
silver. Unoxidized copper mineralization occurs mainly as disseminated and
fracture controlled chalcopyrite with minor bands of bornite. Initial thin and
polished section work by Rockgate indicates the copper was deposited before the
uranium. More petrographic studies are being initiated, focusing primarily on
the disseminated, coarse native silver discovered in the North Zone.


The Falea exploration permit covers 150 square kilometres of the Falea-North
Guinea-Senegal basin, a Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin marked by significant
radiometric anomalies. Rockgate Capital owns a 60% interest in the Falea
Uranium-Silver-Copper Project and is the project Operator. Delta holds the
remaining 40%.


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. All core samples
are sawed in half and sent to Bamako where ALS prepares the samples with pulps
then shipped to EcoTech Laboratories in Kamloops BC for ICP-MS analysis and ALS
in Vancouver for XRF analysis for uranium. The company inserts a standard, blank
and requests a duplicate sample in every batch of 20 samples.
