("Melkior") (TSX VENTURE:MKR) (OTC PINK:MKRIF) (FRANKFURT:MEK) is pleased to provide a progress report on its wholly owned Carscallen gold project which is located approximately 25 kilometres west of the centre of Timmins Ontario and 5.5 kilometres west of Lake Shore Gold Corp's Timmins West Mine. Recent (2014) exploration drilling by Lake Shore Gold Corp has intersected several significant, northeast trending gold zones to the southwest of the Timmins West Mine along Hwy 144.

The Timmins West Mine owned by Lake Shore Gold Corp is presently producing about 150,000 ounces of gold per year (Lake Shore Gold Corp Website). In addition, in 2014, the Lake Shore announced the discovery of a new zone (144 Gap Zone) that had intersected 5.37 grams per tonne over 46.0 metres, including 21.87 grams per tonne over 6.0 metres and 12.54 grams per tonne over 4.4 metres. The gold mineralization has been found in north trending structures similar to the Carscallen Property.

Current work on the Carscallen property consists of a surface sampling program on the Zam Zam Zone, Jowsey Zone and the Shenkman Zone. Samples were taken from areas that were previously drilled as well as areas that have not seen past drilling. Following is a chart showing the gold results of the sampling.

Seven samples taken on the Jowsey Zone ranged from 0.649 to 58.8 g/t gold over a 150 meter strike length with an average of 10.7 g/t gold. The highest value (58.8 g/t gold) was found in the most southerly section of the zone where it disappears beneath overburden and swampy ground.

Fourteen samples were taken on the Zam Zam Zone over a strike length of about 135 meters. The values ranged from 0.079 to 32.5 g/t gold with an average of 6.4 g/t gold. It was noted during sampling that the zone splays in places with gold values continuing in the splays. One splay was analyzed and found to contain 18.5 g/t gold.

One sample taken on the Shenkman Zone analyzed 7.18 g/t ton gold and a sample taken on the Aumo Shaft Zone analyzed 9.66 g/t gold.

The figure below shows the relative locations of samples taken on the property.

A drill program is scheduled for December on the Carscallen property. It will consist of 5 holes (400m minimum) to test specific targets that have been generated by recent work on the property. At least one hole will test the northern extension of the Aumo Shaft Zone where drilling last year by Melkior intersected 39.2 g/t gold over 0.3 meters
