Timmins, Ontario. Melkior Resources Inc. (“Melkior”) (TSXV:MKR) is pleased to announce it
has intersected .127% Copper over 6.0 meters from 467.0 to 473.0 meters and .036% Copper
over 81.0 meters from 432.0 to 513.0 meters in ddh CAR-19-03A. These intercepts occur below
and overlap the bottom portion of the gold intercept reported November 28, 2019 of 23.5 g/t Gold
over 8.0 meters from 426.0 to 434.0 meters in DDH Car -19-03A. In addition, .067% Zinc over
36 meters was intersected immediately below the anomalous copper from 513.0 to 549.0 meters in
the same drill hole (see Figure 1). The Carscallen Project is located approximately 25 km west of
the town of Timmins, Ontario and 5 km west of Pan American Silver’s Timmins West Mine (see
table below).

In 2012, Dr. Eric Hebert, P.h.D, P.Geo of GeoVector Management Inc., intersected 3.55% Copper
over 1.35 meters from 528.0 to 529.35 meters in CAR -79-2012 (March 26, 2012 press release)
consisting of “stringers of copper sulphide mineralization within a chlorite -rich alteration zone.”
Dr. Hebert went on to note, “the texture of sulphides and chloritic alteration suggest a VMS origin
(volcanogenic massive sulphides) that may be consistent with a possible stringer zone of copper
rich VMS intersected” (March 26, 2012). Melkior concurs with this assessment as the chalcopyrite
observed in DDH CAR -19-03A consisted of chal copyrite infilled fractures and tension gashes
within a chloritic altered mafic volcanic. Of further note is the elevated anomalous zinc values
2
encountered below the anomalous copper which may further reinforce the proximity to a VMS
deposit. The Timmins district is host to VMS deposits, the most notable of which is the Kidd Creek
deposit.
In March of 2012, Abitibi Geophysics employed a downhole InfiniTem electromagnetic survey on
DDH CAR -79-2012 and detected a moderate conductive signature typical of diss eminated to
massive sulphides approximately 25 meters from the drill hole at 500 meters in depth . Neither a
lateral or vertical direction for this conductor was established, however, a downhole 3 -d IP survey
was further recommended. Follow up drilling of the significant gold intercept in CAR-19-03A is a
priority and a program is currently being planned. In addition, it is recommended that a Mise -a-la-
masse downhole geophysical survey be employed utilizing the encouraging copper results both
from DDH CAR-79-2012 and CAR-19-03A to help vector in on a potential VMS deposit.
Jim Deluce, CEO of Melkior remarks, “We are very excited with the results intersected in the CAR-
19-03A hole. The presence of high -grade gold, copper and zinc are encouraging signs of a VMS
deposit targeted. We shift our focus to the immediate planning of a follow up program to target
further gold results and higher -grade copper & zinc. The details of the follow up program will be
announced in the coming weeks.”
The program was carried o ut under the supervision of Peter Caldbick, P.Geo and a consultant for
Melkior Resources Inc., the qualified person responsible for this news release. The drill core was
split with half sent to Actlabs in Timmins, On and fire assayed with an AA and gravimetric finish.
Whole metallic assays are performed on samples greater than 10 g/t gold and samples containing
visible gold. In addition, the third drill hole was treated with the 1E3 36 element multi element
package with aqua regia analyses. Duplicates, stan dards and blanks were inserted into the sample
stream.
