Melkior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MKR) ("Melkior") has completed drilling
fifteen holes totalling 1535 metres on the gold-rich, mineralized ZamZam Zone at
its wholly owned Carscallen Gold Project located 25 kilometres west of the City
of Timmins, Ontario. The objective of the program was to accomplish infill
drilling on the ZamZam Zone, which is hosted in structure that crosscuts granite
and mafic volcanics. The drilling and assay data gathered will be incorporated
with previous drilling to enable a near-surface gold resource calculation. The
15 drill holes tested the ZamZam system over a length of 275 metres and to an
approximate vertical depth of 150 metres. An additional 500 meters of drilling
will be implemented during the coming winter when ground conditions are more
favorable with the objective of extending the ZamZam Zone to the north. 


The mineralized ZamZam Zone varies from a single sulphide rich, quartz vein
(typically between 1 and 2 metres thick) to wider intersections made up of
smaller parallel quartz and pyrite veins (commonly occurring in a fracture
system over a dozen metres in width). From past results, higher gold grades
exist where the fracture system concentrates into a single vein with higher
sulphide content (typically over 10 g/t gold in the veins) in comparison to the
wider intersections of smaller veins where grades vary between 1 and 4 g/t gold
over the whole intersection. The systematic drilling completed will assess these
internal variations within the ZamZam Zone and will help refine the gold grade
in the zone itself and surrounding mineralized envelope. This data will be
incorporated into the block model Melkior is building to complete a resource
calculation for ZamZam Zone and will provide key information concerning the
geometry of the deposit, which is open along strike and at depth.


Re-sampling of holes drilled in 2008 was also undertaken. The 2008 core was cut
in quarters and the new sample lengths vary between 0.5 and 1 metre. These
sample intervals will give better control on the internal gold grades within an
individual intersection. Results are pending.


Melkior's Carscallen Gold Project hosts seven vein systems identified at surface
and drilled to shallow depths by Melkior. These include the ZamZam and Shenkman
systems. Approximately parallel to these systems are the 1010, 1010 North,
Jowsey, Mystery and Wire Gold structures. It is believed that these vein
systems, which widen at depth, originate from a common and important gold source
at depth


Quality control 

Approximately 200 samples from the 1535 metres drilled have been selected for
assay. Results are pending.


Core processing included descriptive logging and systematic sampling for
analysis. The drill core was sawn in half, with one-half delivered to a
commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference. Assays
were submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Timmins, Ontario. The processed
samples were submitted to a standard fire assay with AA technique (Au-AA-23) on
a 30-gram subsample. Standards and blanks were inserted randomly into the sample
shipments as part of the sampling protocol. For samples returning greater than
ten g/t gold, follow-up analysis using fire assay with a gravimetric finish is
completed. Following receipt of assays, visual analysis of mineralized
intercepts is conducted, and additional analysis may be requested to ensure the
accurate representation of the mineralized zones.


This press release was prepared by Dr. Eric Hebert, PGeo, of GeoVector
Management Inc., qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. Dr. Hebert
has supervised the diamond drill program, logged the core, designed the sampling
program and reviewed the quality control information.
