Together with the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer) that raised approximately $41.8 million, the total amount raised is approximately $70.2 million.
The Retail Entitlement Offer received applications from existing retail shareholders totalling approximately $5.7 million. In addition to each eligible retail shareholder's entitlement, eligible retail shareholders were offered the opportunity to apply for New Shares in excess of their entitlement, up to a maximum amount of 100% of their entitlement under the retail top up facility. Eligible retail shareholders were allocated approximately $1.0 million of New Shares under the retail top up facility. Approximately $21.7 million in New Shares not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including the retail top up facility) have been allocated to Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) as underwriter (Mineral Resources or Underwriter).

All New Shares issued or to be issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing shares on issue.
Commenting on the Retail Entitlement Offer, Delta's Managing Director, James Croser said:
"The closure of the Retail Entitlement Offer last Monday sees Delta banking $70.2 million in total funding for our strategic goals well into the medium term.
We were delighted to have structured this raising to give every Delta shareholder the opportunity to participate on equal terms, and equally appreciate the support of MinRes in underwriting the shortfall.
I thank all our existing shareholders who have supported the entitlement offer. We now look forward to delivering on our strategy. The significantly enhanced exploration program across our existing ground at Yinnetharra and Mt Ida together with the new tenure at Lyons River provides exciting potential for the Company over the upcoming periods."
