Melkior Announces Commencement of Drilling and Stock Options

TSX Venture Exchange
Timmins, Ontario. Melkior Resources Inc. (“Melkior” or the “Company”) (TSXV:MKR) is
pleased to announce that it has commenced its second phase 1800 meter drill program in
Carscallen Township.
The first drill hole will focus on following up on drill hole CAR-19-03A, which intersected 23.5
g/t Au over 8.0 meters from 426.0 to 434.0 meters. This intercept is interpreted to be
approximately 150 meters downdip of an earlier intercept in CAR-61-2012 which assayed 4.34
g/t Au over 13.0 meters from 272.0 to 285.30 meters. The proposed drill hole will be drilled
midway between these two intercepts in order to validate the current interpretation. The drill hole
is further designed to investigate a copper intercept within the underlying mafic volcanics which
was intersected in hole CAR-79-2012 and assayed 3.5% copper over 1.35 meters from 528.0 to
529.35 meters.
A second drill hole is proposed to expand on the strike extent of the gold bearing system with a
drill hole collared 25 meters northwest of CAR-19-03A and 35 meters northeast of drill hole
CAR-71-2011 which intersected four disparate gold bearing vein systems including 97.3 g/t Au
over 0.5 meters from 254.0 to 254.5 meters and 4.1 g/t Au over 4.55 meters from 262.7 to
267.25 meters. The proposed drill hole is designed to intersect these auriferous zones
approximately 160 meters downdip as well as to confirm strike continuity to the intercept in
CAR-19-03A.
The third drill hole will be located to drill into the identified target to the southwest. As copper
has been encountered both in recent drilling in drill hole CAR-19-03A (.036% copper over 81
meters from 432 to 513 meters, see December 4, 2019 press release) and CAR-79-2012, it is
suggested that these intercepts may emanate from the conductive zone to the southwest. The
collar will also be located approximately 50 meters southeast of drill hole CAR-69-2011which

intersected 16.1 g/t Au over 1.65 meters from 508.45 to 510.10 meters within the mafic
volcanics below the granodiorite. Any auriferous vein systems encountered in this proposed hole
could also effectively increase the strike extent of the gold system by approximately 100 meters to
the southeast of the previous drill campaign.
