MELKIOR REPORTS RESULTS FROM 2021 DRILL PROGRAM AT VAL D’OR
PROJECT

TSX Venture Exchange
Timmins, Ontario. Melkior Resources Inc. (“Melkior” or the “Company”) (TSXV:MKR) (OTC:MKRIF) is
pleased to announce that it has received all 705 sample assay results (including 72 QA/QC samples) from the
1,449m drill campaign at the Val D’Or Project. The results allow the Company to better define additional targets
of interest that may be related to the same geological events that generated the newly defined gold and base metal
anomalies found during this drill program. The program’s objective was to investigate the geological formations
located in the western extension of the four mineralized showings located outside of the Property.
The Company is currently reviewing the data in comparison with the previously completed IP survey ( see news
release dated February 22nd, 2021) to define additional targets for exploration in 2022 as the western part of the
IP grid wasn’t drilled during this program and to follow up on new mineralization defined by this program.
Drill highlights can be seen below:
VDE-21-01 returned 176ppb Au over 1.0m and 430ppb Au over 0.75m (from depth 86.0m to 87.75m). Historic
hole 466-08-88 located east of VDE-21-01 returned 230ppb over 0.4m Au (134.6m deep) and 210ppb ppb over
0.70m Au (143.35m deep) (Perron & Guay, 1988) on the same E-W magnetic structure.
VDE-21-02 returned several zinc and copper values ranging from 1600 ppm to 3110 ppm Zn and 833 ppm Cu
over length of 0.7m . VDE-21-02 is located in a shear zone at the contact with a quartz feldspar porphyry dyke
(from depth 21.6m to 22.3m and 23.0m to 25.1m respectively). Silver values up to 1g/t over 1.4m and 1.35 over
1.6m was also obtained (from depth 23.0m to 24.4m and 69.0m to 70.6m respectively)
VDE-21-03 purpose was to test a magnetic high and returned a value 134 ppb Au over 1.5m in a moderaly sheared
small gabbro dyke.
VDE-21-06 returned values of 1.61 g/t Ag over 1.70m ( from depth 20.40m to 22.10 m) including 702 ppm Cu
over 1.15m in a basalt, at the contact with a QFP. It also returned 1.32 g/t Ag over 2.8m (from depth 62.35m to
65.15m) in a altered intermediate intrusive. It could be the lateral extension of the mineralization of historic hole
466-09-88 which returned 220ppb Au over 0.5m (80.54m deep) and 1000ppb Au over 1.0m (103.92m deep)
(Perron & Guay, 1988).
VDE-21-07 is localized in a magnetic low and returned 1.47 g/t Ag over 13.0m (from depth 64.5m to 77.5m) in
a brecciated zone in an altered andesite. It also returned 2.22g/t Ag over 15.30m (from depth 90.7m to 106.0m),
including 1.07g/t Au, 2370ppm Zn over 0.45m, 701 ppm Zn over 0.76m and 330 ppm Zn over 1.0m in an altered
fault gauge followed by an altered breccia zone.
VDE-21-08 is an altered gabbro and returned values of 1350ppm Cu over 0.7m (51.0 -51.7m) and 1.90 g/t Ag
over 0.80m (11.4-12.2m) in a highly altered medium shear. Historic hole 466-07-88 located west of VDE-21-08
returned 180ppb ppb over 0.30m Au (36.14m deep), 190ppb Au over 0.5m (107.20m deep) and 3900ppb Au over
0.3m (193.88m deep) (Perron & Guay, 1988) on the same E-W magnetic structure. Historic results were taken in
quartz-calcite-pyrite veins at the contact with a QFP.
VDE-21-09 is in a basalt in contact with sericite chlorite schist a sample returned 0.196 g/t Au over 0.5m. It could
be the lateral extension of the mineralization of historic hole B-50 which returned 600ppb Au over 0.5m (47.61m
deep) and 600ppb Au over 0.7m (48.6m deep) (Paterson et al, 1946).
VDE-21-11 retured 1.1 g/t Ag and 0.201 g/t Au over 0.8m (from 7.8m to 8.6m deep) in an epidote altered and
slightly sheared gabbro. In the sample lithology, it also returned 2.3g/t Ag over 0.9m (from 9.4 to 10.3m deep).
VDE-21-13 returned 0.97g/t Ag over 4.5m (from 69.0m to 73.5m deep) and 2.26g/t Ag over 5.0m (from 88.0m
to 93.0m deep), including 2.14g/t Au and 1.9g/t Ag over 1.0m (from 91.0m to 92.0m).

Follow-up in 2022
Most of the magnetic structures are oriented E -W and can be followed over long distances. Existing historic
mineralization appear to be continuous over those structures and were found at similar relative position in holes
from the 2021 campaign . The most a nomalous samples are not located at the crest of magnetic structures, but
mostly at the edge, within the strong gradien t. This could be indicative of faults or alteration corridors which
denaturated the magnetic or conductive minerals and replaced them with less conductive/magnetic carbonates or
silicates.
By combining historic results and the 2021 results, the anomalous zones tend to be parallel to the magnetic
lineatment, which can be followed over hundreds of meters. It is therefore possible that additional mineralization
is present along the lineament an d such structures should be investigated with more drilling. West of the 2021
drilling is an open area with the continuity of the structures and the area shows good targets for mineralizat ed
extensions. Figure 3, 4 and 5 show targets for follow-up in 2022.
