MONTREAL, April 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- East Delta Resources Corp. (OTCBB:EDLT), an emerging North American company focusing on the development of mining in China, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Sino-Canadian Metals Inc. ("Sino-Canadian") has formally begun operations in China. Sino-Canadian Metals is in the business of exploring and developing mining in precious and base metals, specifically silver, lead, zinc, copper and nickel.
Mr. Victor Sun, President and CEO of East Delta commented, "While East Delta's primary focus to date has been on gold, the fact is that our extensive and influential network of government mining officials and geologists are constantly presenting us with excellent opportunities in other important metals. With the opening of an office in Guiyang, China for Sino-Canadian, and properly staffing it, we can immediately begin to acquire and move rapidly on developing these projects."
The Company further indicated that Sino-Canadian has been provided with an adequate near-term operating budget and, based on negotiations to date, the Company expects to reach agreements on at least one silver and one nickel property within the next 90 days.
