Cranbrook, November 30, 2021 - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) ("DLP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an exploration and corporate update.
Moby Dick and NZOU Projects (Sullivan-type Zn-Pb-Ag Targets)
Extreme weather conditions over the past two weeks in Southern BC have delayed the preparation of trails to all proposed drill sites on the Moby Dick and Nzou properties. Drilling equipment has been demobilized until such time it is safe to access the drill sites and start the program. Very wet ground conditions in the field coupled with eminent snowfall is expected to delay the program until the new year.
Aurora Project (Porphyry Cu-Mo Target)
The definitive agreement on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum project in Peru has been signed. Terms of the deal were reported in the Company's news release dated May 18, 2021.
With DLP Resources Peru SAC now incorporated and the Aurora agreement finalized, the next step is to initiate permitting for drilling in 2022.
Hungry Creek Project (Sediment Hosted - Stratiform Copper-Silver-Cobalt Targets)
The initial follow-up of the copper mineralization in the middle Creston Formation was reported in the news release of the Company dated September 16, 2021. Seven grab samples and two float samples taken during the initial follow-up have reported very encouraging copper (115.3 to 11480ppm), silver (0.04 to 3,51ppm) and cobalt (0.9 to 117.6ppm) results at both the HC and 711 prospects, approximately 11km along strike. In addition to the copper, silver and cobalt values returned, anomalous gold of 0.1077 g/t was reported in one of the nine field samples taken (see Table 1 and Figures 2 and 3).
Barium (Ba) is also highly anomalous with concentrations up to 4,274 ppm which is proposed to indicate a source of Ba related to organic matter breakdown within a basin which could be an important element controlling sulphide deposition and concentration of metals such as copper, cobalt and silver in this sediment hosted copper-silver-cobalt system.
Copper mineralization is both disseminated and veined within the quartzite to silty quartzite units of the middle Creston Formation and occurs principally as chalcopyrite with minor malachite on fractures. Specks of limonite reported in the sections were reported to be after sulphides.
Ian Gendall, President of DLP, commented: "These initial nine reconnaissance rock samples taken during the prospecting along the 11 km trend of copper, silver and cobalt mineralization on the Hungry Creek extension have indicated very encouraging results for further, more detailed sampling as soon as the snow melts. The very anomalous Ba values within the mineralized quartzites, around the 711 showing is extremely encouraging for focusing our exploration effort. Detailed mapping and additional systematic sampling will commence as soon as we can access the showings again in the spring of 2022."

QA/QC
All samples were placed in numbered and sealed bags and sent via secure transport to MSA Laboratory in Langley, BC for sample preparation and analyses. Samples were crushed down to 2 mm and a 250g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75µm. Samples were subjected to a 4-acid digestion and analyzed for silver, gold and an additional 50 elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). MSALabs is an ISO 9001 registered laboratory and has a quality control program in place which includes the insertion of standard, blank, and duplicate samples, as well as conducting repeat analyses.
