Under the terms of the Transaction, Delta's outstanding common shares ("Delta Shares") will be consolidated on a 16:1 basis and shareholders of CIC will receive Delta Shares in exchange for their common shares of CIC on the basis of 11.14 post-consolidation Delta Shares for each CIC share.

The Company has received the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the Transaction and an information circular (the "Information Circular") containing full particulars of the proposed Transaction, the Company, CIC and the combined company has been mailed to shareholders and is available for viewing on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
CIC shareholders will consider the Transaction at a special meeting to be held on June 17, 2015 and a hearing with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to sanction the scheme is expected to be held on or about June 24, 2015.
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including Delta shareholder approval, CIC shareholder approval, court approval in the Cayman Islands, and completion by CIC of a financing of $1,000,000 anticipated to be at a per CIC share price of $0.33 per Delta common share on a post consolidation basis. On closing of the Transaction, the Company is expected to change its name to "CIC Gold Inc." and will be headquartered in Vancouver, B.C. and will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Transaction is expected to close on or about June 26, 2015.

During the last quarter, our activities at the Imperial Project have continued to focus on consultation with the local community and government regulators, with a principal emphasis on building a collaborative relationship with the Quechan Tribe."
