Melkior Resources Commences 2024 Winter Drill Campaign at Carscallen Gold Project
Highlights:
- A 5-holes winter drill program with a total of 1,200 drill meters is underway at Carscallen Project. The
drilling will test new opportunities and expand the strike and down -dip continuities of previously
established gold showings at 1010 Zone.
- The drill program has commenced and will be completed in 6-8 weeks.
December 1 2, 2024 / Timmins, Ontario. Melkior Resources Inc. (“Melkior” or the “ Company”) (TSXV:MKR)
(OTC:MKRIF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2024 Winter Drill Campaign at the Carscallen
Gold Project located approximately 25 kilometres southwest of Timmins, Ontario.

Keith Deluce, Director of Melkior Resources, stated: “Following the data review and 3D modelling exercises, we
are thrilled to kick off the winter drilling program at the Carscallen Gold Project. The program will probe the
strike and down -plunge extensions of the 1010 mineralized zone including testing the Northwest Target, an
unexplored area north of 1010 zone which has the same geophysical magnetic and IP chargeability and
resistivity signatures as the gold zones at Carscallen.”
2024 Winter Drill Program

An 8-hole drill program was designed at Carscallen Property to target new opportunities and expand the strike
extents of previously established gold showings at the 1010 Zones. A total of 1,750 drill meters on an NQ -size
drill core was planned for this program of which 1,200 meters will be drilled during this phase. Individual drill
holes ranges in depth from 150m to 300m. The primary objectives of the exploration program are to test the
Northwest Zone, which is an unexplored area about 500 meters north of 1010 gold showings, and an infill to
step-out exploration drill targeting the lateral and downdip extensions of gold mineralization across the 1010
Main Zone.
1010 Gold Zone
The 1010 gold showings have about 500m strike length and characterized by multiple, stacked, anastomosing,
shear-hosted, quartz-sulphide veins which are locally enveloped by stockwork breccia mineralization. The gold
zones are steep dipping and often exhibits pinch and swell attitude along the N-S trend. The gold mineralization
at 1010 Zone is coincident with mod -high magnetics associated with folded -faulted features, mod -high IP
chargeability (conductors), and resistivity. The geophysical signatures are ty pical in most of the gold zones at
Carscallen Property.
In a north-south longitudinal section, the mineralization at 1010 Zone and Northwest Zone appears to be
controlled by fold structure with the hinge zone located between the 1010N and 1010S. These suggest of a
possibly north plunging mineralization on the 1010N and a south dipping mineralization on the 1010S.
Overall, a total of six (6) drill holes MKR-24 (01-06) all dipping towards the east were planned to test the plunge
of mineralization. The holes have variable target depths ranging from 200m to 300m. The drilling will probe the
down-dip of 1010 mineralizat ion zones based on historical surface mapping and drilling, and to test the
continuity of mineralization along strike length up to 800 meters.
Northwest Zone
The Northwest Zone is an unexplored area about 500 meters north of 1010 gold showings, characterized by
overlapping clusters of gold -in-soil anomaly, mod -high magnetics, and coincident moderate IP chargeability
(conductors) and resistivity.
Two shallow drillholes MKR -24 (07 – 08) at about 150m deep were planned to test the gold mineralization
potential in the area.
