TSX Venture Exchange
Timmins, Ontario. Melkior Resources Inc. (“ Melkior” or the “ Company”) (TSXV:MKR) (OTC:MKRIF )
announces that Barrick Gold Inc. (“Barrick”) has provided a termination notice with respect to the Earn-In and
Joint Venture Shareholders Agreement made as of November 20, 2020 , between Melkior and Barrick (the
“Agreement”), which Agreement was originally announced by Melkior on November 20, 2020. Barrick advised
Melkior that it is terminating the Agreement in accordance with its terms as of the first anniversary of the
Agreement without satisfying the minimum exploration expenditures due to Barrick being prevented or hindered
from the funding of expenditures because of the objections and concerns raised by a local First Nation.
On December 16, 2020, the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (the “Ministry”) issued a
Notice of Withdrawal and a Notice of Caution affecting the Northern Lake Superior Region and the White Lake
Property. Due to the Ministry’s Notice of Withdrawal and Notice of Caution and the First Nation’s concerns
regarding exploration activities, Melkior intends to apply to the Ministry for a n order suspending the annual
work requirements on the White Lake Property due to the Company’s inability to conduct exploration work
without First Nation objections. If the Ministry accepts the Company’s request the Property will remain in good
standing until the Company can resume exploration expenditures. The Company anticipates receiving the
Ministry’s approval, but if such approval is not granted the Company may apply current exploration credit
reserves and/or make payments in lieu of exploration expenditures to keep the Property in good standing.
Melkior intends to work with the MNDMNRF and the First Nation on possible paths toward mutually acceptable
exploration work on and development of the White Lake Property.
