(“\n \n Melkior\n \n ” or the\n“\n \n Company\n \n ”) (TSXV:MKR)\n(OTC:MKRIF) is pleased to announce that drilling on its Val d’Or\nProperty has been successfully completed. 1,449 meters (m) of drilling\nwas completed, and 705 samples were obtained during the process.\n \n \n Multiple mineralization and alterations were discovered during this\ndrill program which correlate well with pathfinders defined in the\nhistorical Bruell gold discovery, located 240m east of the Property.\n The most significant observations during the Company’s core\nlogging include :\n \n \n \n \n - 4m of brecciated and silicified volcanoclastics hosting quartz\nveinlets\n \n (Photograph 1)\n \n \n \n - Up to 10% of fine and disseminated pyrite in multiples sections\n \n \n - A breccia and a shear zone associated with a mineralized quartz\nconglomerate\n \n (Photograph 2).\n \n \n \n - Multiple other observations associated with gold mineralization at\nBruell include: titaniferous magnetite, bleaching of the host rock,\nquartz veins, sulphide mineralization that are associated with QFP\ndykes or shear zones (\n \n Photograph\n3\n \n ), and sulfides without the presence of any QFP dyke.\n \n \n \n \n Some mineralization observed also correlate well with the historical\nmineralization that resulted in 3.9 g/t Au over 0.30m between 193.88\nand 194.18m (Perron & Guay, 1988) (\n \n see news release dated March 17\n \n \n th\n \n \n , 2021\n \n ). The historical logging\nmention that “the gold anomalies are associated with quartz, calcite\nand pyrite veins located at the contact between the basalt and the\nQFP.&#x...
