Melkior Resources announces maiden Val D'Or Drill Program for March

Feb 23, 2021


"We are excited to commence our 1,500 meter maiden drill program at our Val D’Or Project," Jonathon Deluce, CEO of Melkior, further said.  "Using the data from our till, IP and Mag surveys completed in 2020 we were able to review our results against neighbouring successful programs to put the strongest targets forward. We have recently seen an increase in M&A in the Val D’Or district which highlights the continued exploration potential and interest from the intermediate/major producers."

Melkior Resources Inc. has secured a drill and defined the main targets for its 1,500m drill program at the Val-d'Or Property (the "Property"). Drilling will commence in early March 2021 and we will provide further details on our final drill targets at that time.

Following the completion of an IP survey on the western strike extension of the Bruell showing (located 240m east of the Property) and an airborne MAG survey, the Company has defined targets for its maiden drill program. The targets are shallow and associated with IP and MAG anomalies (see news release dated January 20th, 2021). The Company believes that a 1,500m drill program will be sufficient to target mineralization associated with alteration zones and geophysics targets.

The area targeted by the maiden drill program is the western extension of the "Vein Zone" area being explored by Eldorado Gold Corporation. In 2018-2019, a 2,000-meter program located mineralization along a 250-meter strike length and to a vertical depth of 125 meters. This is a new discovery on their property, and Melkior's Property contains the western strike extension to that mineralization. In between the Property and the new discovery made by Sparton/Eldorado, 4 gold showings are related to the same geological features, with the Bruell deposit being located 240 meters from the Property. 

The new discoveries are either hosted in veins inside of sheared gabbros and also in sheared zone of mafic volcanic hosting quartz, sericite and ankerite veins. Both mineralization is associated with disseminated pyrite.

Current finalized drill targets on the Property includes:

  • High conductive anomalies associated with the largest IP axis found on the Property.

  • Isolated high and low magnetic anomalies that are associated with IP anomalies, located in gabbros and mafic volcanics. Some are also in association with VMS and orogenic gold targets previously defined by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.

  • Low magnetic structures cross cutting the main magnetic fabrics which are also associated with chargeable anomalies. Those targets may be associated with the carbonate alteration as found at the Bruell showing. Those cross-cutting features are mostly NE-SW in direction and could be associated with faulting similar to the NE-SW structures that Sparton/Eldorado interpret close by to their previous discoveries.

  • A zone with multiple magnetic contrasts, located immediately on strike with the Bruell showing.

The Val-d'Or Property is located 35km east from Val d'Or and is accessible by a well-maintained dirt road as well as logging roads. The 120 claims cover approximately 6,333.04 hectares (63.33km2).
