Dear Sir:

Cormark Securities Inc. ("Cormark"), Desjardins Securities Inc., and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively with Cormark, the "Underwriters") understand that Delta Resources Limited (the "Company") intends to create, issue and sell: (i) 7,143,000 "flow-through" units of the Company (each, an "FT Unit") at a price of $0.63 per FT Unit (the "FT Offering Price"), with each FT Unit comprised of one FT Unit Share (as defined below) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"); and (ii) 7,778,000 units of the Company (each, a "HD Unit") at a price of $0.45 per HD Unit (the "HD Offering Price"), with each HD Unit comprised of one HD Unit Share (as defined below) and one-half of one Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,000,190. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, one Common Share (as defined below) (each a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.63 per Warrant Share for a period of two years following the Closing Date (as defined below). The Warrants will be issued under a warrant indenture (the "Warrant Indenture") between the Company and TSX Trust Company, as warrant agent, dated the Closing Date.

The FT Unit Shares and Warrants comprising the FT Units will qualify as "flow-through shares" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act (as defined below), with each FT Unit entitling the holder to a renunciation of Qualifying Expenditures (as defined below). Any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants will be issued on a non-flow-through basis.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters hereby agree to act as underwriters and purchase severally, and not jointly nor jointly and severally, in the respective percentages set out in Section 15, from the Company, and by its acceptance hereof, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, 7,143,000 FT Units at the FT Offering Price per FT Unit and 7,778,000 HD Units at the HD Offering Price per HD Unit on the Closing Date, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $8,000,190.

In addition, in connection with the Offering, the Company hereby grants the Underwriters an option (the "Underwriters' Option") to purchase that number of additional FT Units and/or HD Units for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $2,000,000 on the same terms as above. The Underwriters' Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, by the Underwriters in their sole discretion, until 48 hours prior to the Closing Date.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the "Securities", "FT Units", "HD Units", "FT Unit Shares", "HD Unit Shares", and "Warrants" shall include any securities issued by the Company pursuant to the full exercise of the Underwriters' Option, all references to "Warrant Shares" shall include the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants resulting from the full exercise of the Underwriters' Option, and the offering of the FT Units and HD Units by the Company is hereinafter referred to as the "Offering".

Although the offer to purchase the FT Units and HD Units is being made by the Underwriters, the Underwriters will endeavour to arrange for the offer of the FT Units and HD Units to substituted Purchasers (as defined below) resident in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined below) within Canada by way of a private placement to "accredited investors" as such term is defined in NI 45-106 (as defined below). The HD Units may be distributed to substituted Purchasers in Selling Jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States in such jurisdictions as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, where they may be lawfully sold on a basis exempt from the prospectus, registration and similar requirements of any such jurisdiction. To the extent that substituted Purchasers purchase FT Units and HD Units on the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase the number of FT Units and HD Units so purchased by such substituted Purchasers.

In consideration of the Underwriters' services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, the Company agrees to pay the Underwriters' Fee (as defined below) and issue the Compensation Warrants (as defined below) to the Underwriters on the Closing Date, all as more particularly set out in this Agreement.

The Company agrees that the Underwriters will be permitted to appoint, at their sole expense, other registered dealers or other dealers duly qualified in their respective jurisdictions, in each case acceptable to the Company, acting reasonably, as its agents to assist with the Offering in the Selling Jurisdictions and that the Underwriters may determine the remuneration payable by the Underwriters to such other dealers appointed by them, provided that such remuneration shall not in any way increase the aggregate Underwriters' Fee payable by the Company to the Underwriters under this Agreement.

(a) The Company agrees to incur (or be deemed to have incurred) Qualifying Expenditures in an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment Amount on or after the Closing Date and on or before the Termination Date in accordance with this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements in respect of FT Units and agrees to renounce to each FT Purchaser, with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023, pursuant to

subsection 66(12.6) of the Tax Act, in conjunction with the Look-Back Rule (provided that (i) the FT Purchaser has paid their Commitment Amount to the Company before December 31, 2023; and (ii) in respect of renunciations pursuant to the Look-Back Rule, the FT Purchaser (or if the FT Purchaser is a partnership, any partner thereof) does not have a Prescribed Relationship with the Company in 2024), Qualifying Expenditures incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the Company on or after the Closing Date and on or before the Termination Date, in an amount equal to their applicable Commitment Amount;

  • (b) Unless required to do so pursuant to subsection 66(12.73) of the Tax Act, the Company shall not reduce the amount renounced to the FT Purchasers pursuant to subsection 66(12.6) of the Tax Act. If the Company receives, or becomes entitled to receive, or may reasonably be expected to receive, any assistance which is described in the definition of "assistance" in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act and the receipt of or entitlement or reasonable expectation to receive such assistance has or will have the effect of reducing the amount of Qualifying Expenditures validly renounced to a FT Purchaser to less than their applicable Commitment Amount, the Company will incur (or be deemed to have incurred) additional Qualifying Expenditures using funds from sources other than the Commitment Amount in an amount equal to such assistance, such that the aggregate Qualifying Expenditures renounced to the FT Purchaser effective no later than December 31, 2023 (provided that (i) the FT Purchaser has paid the Commitment Amount to the Company before December 31, 2023; and (ii) in respect of renunciations pursuant to the Look-Back Rule, the FT Purchaser (or if the FT Purchaser is a partnership, any partner thereof) does not have a Prescribed Relationship with the Company in 2024) will not be less than nor exceed the Commitment Amount;
  • (c) The Company shall not be subject to the provisions of subsection 66(12.67) of the Tax Act in a manner which impairs its ability to renounce Qualifying Expenditures to the FT Purchasers in an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment Amount and shall notify the FT Purchasers in the event that it becomes aware of or is informed of an issue in relation to its ability to claim such Qualifying Expenditures;
  • (d) If the Company does not renounce to a FT Purchaser effective on or before December 31, 2023, Qualifying Expenditures equal to their Commitment Amount (provided that (i) the FT Purchaser has paid the Commitment Amount to the Company before December 31, 2023; and (ii) in respect of renunciations pursuant to the Look-Back Rule, the FT Purchaser (or if the FT Purchaser is a partnership, any partner thereof) does not have a Prescribed Relationship with the Company in 2024), the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the FT Purchaser and each of the partners thereof if the FT Purchaser is a partnership or a limited partnership (for the purposes of this paragraph each an "Indemnified Person") as to, and pay to the Indemnified Person on or before the 20th Business Day following the date on which the FT Purchaser provides the Company, in writing, the amount of the Indemnified Tax (the "Indemnity Notice"), but not later than July 1, 2024 (provided that (i) the FT Purchaser provides the Indemnity Notice at least 20 Business Days prior to July 1, 2024; and (ii) the Company provides the FT Purchaser notice, in writing, that the Company will not renounce to the FT Purchaser effective on or before December 31, 2023, Qualifying Expenditures equal to the Commitment Amount on or before March 1, 2024), an amount equal to the amount of any tax (within the meaning of subparagraph (c) of the definition of "excluded obligation" at subsection 6202.1(5) of the Income Tax

Regulations (Canada)) payable under the Tax Act (and under the corresponding provincial legislation) by any Indemnified Person as a consequence of such failure (the "Indemnified Tax"). In the event that the amount renounced by the Company to the FT Purchaser is reduced pursuant to subsection 66(12.73) of the Tax Act, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person as to, and pay to the Indemnified Person on or before the 20th Business Day following the receipt, by an Indemnified Person, of a notice of assessment or reassessment issued by the CRA (or any applicable provincial tax authority) in respect of such reduction, an amount equal to the amount of any tax (within the meaning of subparagraph (c) of the definition of "excluded obligation" at subsection 6202.1(5) of the Income Tax Regulations (Canada)) payable under the Tax Act (and under the corresponding provincial legislation) by the Indemnified Person as a consequence of such reduction. This indemnity is in addition to and not in derogation of any other recourse, rights or remedies the FT Purchaser may have against the Company. For certainty, the foregoing indemnities shall have no force or effect and the FT Purchaser shall not have any recourse or rights of action to the extent that such indemnities would otherwise cause the FT Unit Shares or the Warrants comprising the FT Units to be "prescribed shares" or "prescribed rights" within the meaning of section 6202.1 of the Income Tax Regulations (Canada);

  • (h) The Company shall incur (or be deemed to incur) Qualifying Expenditures pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in respect of FT Units and renounce to the FT Purchasers

pro rata by the number of FT Unit Shares and Warrants (comprising the FT Units) issued or to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in respect of FT Units before incurring and renouncing Qualifying Expenditures pursuant to any other agreement which the Company may subsequently enter into after the Closing Date with any Person with respect to the issue of shares or rights which are "flow-through shares" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act. If the Company is required under the Tax Act or otherwise to reduce Qualifying Expenditures previously renounced to the FT Purchasers, and unless the FT Purchasers are not adversely affected or otherwise agree, the reduction shall be made pro rata by the number of FT Unit Shares and Warrants comprising the FT Units issued or to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in respect of FT Units only after it has first reduced to the extent possible all CEE renounced to persons (other than the FT Purchasers) under any agreements relating to shares or rights which are "flow-through shares" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act entered into after the Closing Date;

  • (j) The Company shall not enter into any other agreement which would prevent or restrict its ability to renounce Qualifying Expenditures to the FT Purchasers in the amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment Amount; and
  • (k) The Company shall maintain proper, complete and accurate accounting books and records relating to the Qualifying Expenditures. The Company shall retain all such books and records as may be required to support the renunciation of Qualifying Expenditures contemplated by this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements and, upon reasonable notice, shall make such books and records available for inspection and audit by or on behalf of a FT Purchaser, at the FT Purchaser's sole expense.

The Company and the Underwriters each agree that they will not make public any advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise publicize, the transaction provided for herein so as to result in any exemption from the prospectus or registration requirements of applicable securities legislation in any of the provinces and territories of Canada or any other jurisdiction in which the FT Units and HD Units shall be offered and sold not being available.

12. Underwriters' Compensation

12.1 In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters will receive from the Company a cash commission (the "Underwriters' Fee") equal to 6.0% of the Gross Proceeds (other than in respect of sales of FT Units or HD Units to Purchasers introduced to the Underwriters by the Company (the "President's List"), in respect of which the Underwriters will receive a cash commission of 3.0%). The Underwriters' Fee shall be payable to the Underwriters upon completion of the Offering.

12.2 As additional compensation, the Underwriters will be issued non-transferable compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") exercisable to acquire that number of Compensation Warrant Shares as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of FT Units and HD Units issued pursuant to the Offering (other than in respect of sales of FT Units and HD Units to Purchasers on the President's List, in respect of which the Underwriters will receive that number of Compensation Warrants equal to 3.0%). Each Compensation Warrant shall be exercisable at the HD Offering Price for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Compensation Warrant Certificates.

12.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to any increase by operation of Section 15.1, the aggregate maximum amount of FT Units and HD Units purchased by Purchasers on the President's List shall not exceed $1,000,000.

13. Underwriters' Business

Each Underwriter and its Affiliates may also provide a broad range of normal course financial products and services to its customers (including, but not limited to banking, credit derivative, hedging and foreign exchange products and services), including companies that may be involved in any transaction with the Company.

14. Underwriters' Authority

14.1 The Company shall be entitled to and shall act on any notice, request, direction, consent, waiver, extension and other communication given or agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Underwriters by Cormark and Cormark shall represent the Underwriters and have authority to bind the Underwriters hereunder except in respect of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8 or the exercise of the indemnity rights specified in Section 9 which shall require the action of the relevant Underwriter. Each of the Underwriters agrees that Cormark has been authorized in such regard.

15. Obligations of the Underwriters.

15.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the FT Units and HD Units shall be several and not joint. The percentage of the FT Units and HD Units to be severally purchased and paid for by each of the Underwriters shall be as follows:

CormarkSecurities Inc. 60%
Desjardins Securities Inc. 30%
HaywoodSecurities Inc. 10%

If one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase its applicable percentage of the total number of FT Units or HD Units, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to purchase such FT Units or HD Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters have failed to purchase on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as may be agreed to by the remaining Underwriters); provided, however, that in the event that the percentage of the total number of the FT Units and HD Units which one or more of the Underwriters has failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of the FT Units and HD Units to be purchased at such time, the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase such FT Units and HD Units (a "10% Default Event"); however, in the event of a 10% Default Event, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, exercisable at their option, to purchase on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as may be agreed to by the remaining Underwriters) all, but not less than all, of the FT Units and HD Units which would otherwise have been purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and the remaining Underwriters shall also have the right, by notice in writing to the Company, to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five Business Days in order to determine whether or not to exercise such right to purchase. If, with respect to the FT Units and HD Units, the non-defaulting Underwriters elect not to exercise such right to purchase in the case of a 10% Default Event, then the Company shall have the right to either (i) proceed with the sale of the FT Units and HD Units (less the defaulted FT Units and HD Units) to the non-defaulting Underwriters; or (ii) terminate its obligations hereunder without liability except pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 in respect of the nondefaulting Underwriters. Additionally, nothing in this Section 15 shall oblige the Company to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the FT Units and HD Units or shall relieve an Underwriter in default hereunder from liability to the Company.

16. Survival of Warranties, Representations, Covenants and Agreements

16.1 All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company herein contained or contained in any documents submitted pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transactions herein contemplated shall survive the Closing and, notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Purchasers with respect thereto, shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Purchasers, as applicable for a period of two years following the Closing Date, other than the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company with respect to the Tax matters and the FT Units, which shall survive until the 60th day following the date upon which the liability to which any such matter with respect to the FT Units may relate is barred by all applicable Laws. For greater certainty, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions contained in this Agreement in any way related to the indemnification of the Underwriters by the Company or the contribution obligations of the Underwriters or those of the Company shall survive and continue in full force and effect, indefinitely, subject only to the applicable limitation period prescribed by Law.

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

TO: CORMARK SECURITIES INC. DESJARDINS SECURITIES INC. HAYWOOD SECURITIES INC. (collectively, the "Underwriters")

WHEREAS the undersigned is currently or could become: (i) the registered or beneficial holder of common shares ("Common Shares") in the issued and outstanding capital of Delta Resources Limited (the "Company"); or (ii) a director or officer of the Company;

AND WHEREAS the undersigned understands that the Underwriters have entered into an underwriting agreement dated May 17, 2023 (the "Underwriting Agreement") with the Company providing for the private placement of FT Units and HD Units (the "Offering");

AND WHEREAS in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, it is desirable that the Locked-Up Securities (as defined below) be subject to certain restrictions for a limited period of time;

NOW THEREFORE in consideration for the Underwriters completing the Offering on the terms set out in the Underwriting Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby enters into this agreement and agrees as follows:

  1. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

  2. The undersigned agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of, or transfer, or announce any intention to do so, any Common Shares held by the undersigned, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, directly or indirectly, or under their control or direction, or with respect to which each has beneficial ownership (the "Locked-Up Securities"), or enter into any transaction or arrangement that has the effect of transferring, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Locked-Up Securities**,** whether such transaction is settled by the delivery of Common Shares, other securities, cash or otherwise, for a period (the "Lock-Up Period") commencing on the date hereof and ending 120 days following the Closing Date, unless the undersigned first obtains the prior written consent of Cormark, on behalf of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

  3. Section 2 shall not apply to: (a) any sale, transfer or tender of any of the Locked-Up Securities to a take-over bid or in connection with a merger, business combination, arrangement, restructuring or similar transaction involving the Company, provided that in the event such transaction is not completed the Locked-Up Securities shall continue to be subject to this agreement; (b) transfers to affiliates of the undersigned, any family members of the undersigned, or any company, trust or other entity owned by or maintained for the benefit of the undersigned; or (c) transfers occurring by operation of law or in connection with transactions arising as a result of the death of the undersigned, provided that in each of (b) and (c) any such transferee shall first enter into an agreement in substantially similar form to this agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect until the expiry of the Lock-Up Period. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the exercise or conversion of any Locked-Up Securities by the Undersigned (including, without limitation, stock options and warrants), provided that any securities received upon such exercise or conversion will also be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.

  4.

  5. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned (i) has full power and authority to enter into this agreement, and that, upon the reasonable request of the Underwriters, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary or desirable in connection with the enforcement hereof; (ii) understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding towards consummation of the Offering; and (iii) understands that it is a condition of the completion of the Offering that certain persons enter into an agreement in the form or substantially in the form hereof.
