Melkior - Maseres Project Update

[{"type":"text","content":"Melkior - Maseres Project Update(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nTimmins, Ontario / TheNewswire / July 26, 2018 - Melkior Resources Inc. (\"Melkior\") would like to provide our shareholders with an update on Maseres Project activities. \n\n \n \nSoil sampling over priority areas in Maseres is well underway, sample collection is anticipated to be completed by mid-September. Samples are being submitted for trace multi-element analysis (ALS Method AuMe-TL43). Soil samples will be submitted in batches, the first batch has already been submitted, analytical turnaround times are estimated to be 4-6 weeks. Complete results from the 5,000 A-Horizon soil sample program are anticipated to be available by the end of October. \n\n \n \nLimited geological reconnaissance of the Maseres Project has been conducted to provide some context for those areas that host the priority VTEM EM anomaly trends. Consistent with observations made in 2017 glacial fluvial deposits are abundant and bedrock outcrop is limited. Some of the priority EM trends were traversed where feasible, although access is locally difficult. It is anticipated that EM trends, if they are mineralized, could be softer than the surrounding rock and may have been scoured into relief by glaciation, exacerbating the difficulty in ground truthing the EM anomalies.\n\n \n \nThe reconnaissance observations generally reinforce the geological setting envisioned and proposed by Melkior in previous news releases. The bedrock observed on the Maseres Project are considered to be consistent with a moderately metamorphosed Archean greenstone belt. The environment as such would have been subaqueous deposition of mafic and felsic volcanic rocks of extrusive, volcano-sedimentary and chemical sedimentary origin. Chert beds have been observed in roadside bedrock exposure south of the area covered by the VTEM survey. \n\n \n \nMetamorphic processes (heat and or pressure) have modified the mineralogical assemblages and thus the appearance of the rocks. Field observations suggest that heat has played a more dominant role than pressure in the metamorphic process, based primarily on the ubiquitously low level of deformation observed. While it is clear from outcrop exposure that folding and faulting is present, more often than not what is interpreted to be volcanic stratigraphic layering is preserved, distinct, mea...
