Melkior Drills 77.4 g/t Au over 6.9m in New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Carscallen, Including Project's Highest Grade Gold Interval of 445 g/t Au over 1.2m
Melkior Resources has made a significant gold discovery at its Carscallen Gold Property near Timmins, Ontario. The company's winter drill program revealed exceptional results, with drill hole MKR-24-002 intercepting 77.4 g/t gold over 6.9 meters, including a remarkable 445 g/t gold over 1.2 meters - the highest-grade interval in the project's history.
The discovery occurred at the 1010 South Zone, approximately 1 km southwest of the previously successful Shenkman Zone. The mineralization shows strong structural control with steep dipping angles and extends along a 500m strike length. The gold zones are characterized by multiple shear-hosted quartz-sulphide veins and coincide with strongly altered magnetic zones.
Additional drill results include:
- MKR-24-001: 2.58 g/t gold over 0.50 meters
- MKR-24-003: 2.70 g/t gold over 0.80 meters and 1.26 g/t gold over 1.30 meters
Melkior Resources ha effettuato una scoperta significativa di oro presso la sua proprietà aurifera Carscallen vicino a Timmins, Ontario. Il programma di perforazione invernale dell'azienda ha rivelato risultati eccezionali, con il foro di sondaggio MKR-24-002 che ha intercettato 77,4 g/t di oro su 6,9 metri, includendo un intervallo straordinario di 445 g/t di oro su 1,2 metri - il più alto grado mai registrato nella storia del progetto.
La scoperta è avvenuta nella zona 1010 South, a circa 1 km a sud-ovest della zona Shenkman, già nota per i suoi successi. La mineralizzazione mostra un forte controllo strutturale con angoli di immersione ripidi e si estende lungo una lunghezza di 500 metri. Le zone aurifere sono caratterizzate da molteplici vene di quarzo-solfoidi ospitate da zone di taglio e coincidono con aree magnetiche fortemente alterate.
Ulteriori risultati di perforazione includono:
- MKR-24-001: 2,58 g/t di oro su 0,50 metri
- MKR-24-003: 2,70 g/t di oro su 0,80 metri e 1,26 g/t di oro su 1,30 metri

Melkior Resources는 온타리오주 팀민스 인근의 Carscallen 금광 부지에서 중요한 금 발견을 했습니다. 회사의 겨울 시추 프로그램에서 뛰어난 결과가 나왔으며, MKR-24-002 시추공은 6.9미터 구간에서 77.4 g/t 금을 확인했으며, 그 중 1.2미터 구간에서 445 g/t 금을 기록해 프로젝트 역사상 최고 등급 간격을 나타냈습니다.
이 발견은 이전에 성공을 거둔 Shenkman 구역에서 남서쪽으로 약 1km 떨어진 1010 South 구역에서 이루어졌습니다. 광물화는 급경사 구조 제어를 보이며 500m 길이의 주향을 따라 확장됩니다. 금 구역은 여러 개의 전단대 내 석영-황화물 광맥으로 특징지어지며 강하게 변형된 자기 영역과 일치합니다.
추가 시추 결과는 다음과 같습니다:
- MKR-24-001: 0.50미터 구간에서 2.58 g/t 금
- MKR-24-003: 0.80미터 구간에서 2.70 g/t 금, 1.30미터 구간에서 1.26 g/t 금
Melkior Resources a réalisé une découverte importante d'or sur sa propriété aurifère Carscallen près de Timmins, en Ontario. Le programme de forage hivernal de la société a révélé des résultats exceptionnels, avec le trou de forage MKR-24-002 interceptant 77,4 g/t d'or sur 6,9 mètres, incluant un intervalle remarquable de 445 g/t d'or sur 1,2 mètre – la teneur la plus élevée jamais enregistrée dans l'histoire du projet.

Melkior Resources hat eine bedeutende Goldentdeckung auf ihrem Carscallen Goldgrundstück in der Nähe von Timmins, Ontario, gemacht. Das Winterbohrprogramm des Unternehmens ergab außergewöhnliche Ergebnisse, wobei das Bohrloch MKR-24-002 77,4 g/t Gold über 6,9 Meter durchteufte, darunter ein bemerkenswertes Intervall von 445 g/t Gold über 1,2 Meter – der höchstgradige Abschnitt in der Geschichte des Projekts.
Die Entdeckung erfolgte in der 1010 South Zone, etwa 1 km südwestlich der zuvor erfolgreichen Shenkman Zone. Die Mineralisierung zeigt eine starke strukturelle Kontrolle mit steil einfallenden Winkeln und erstreckt sich über eine Streichlänge von 500 m. Die Goldzonen sind durch mehrere scherengesteuerte Quarz-Schwefeladern gekennzeichnet und stimmen mit stark veränderten magnetischen Zonen überein.
Weitere Bohrergebnisse umfassen:
- MKR-24-001: 2,58 g/t Gold über 0,50 Meter
- MKR-24-003: 2,70 g/t Gold über 0,80 Meter und 1,26 g/t Gold über 1,30 Meter
- New high-grade gold discovery with exceptional grades: 77.4 g/t Au over 6.9m
- Highest-grade intercept in project history: 445 g/t Au over 1.2m
- 100% ownership of Carscallen Gold Property
- Multiple gold zones identified (1010, Zamzam, Jowsey, Shenkman) showing property-wide potential
- Gold mineralization extends over 500m strike length
- Limited drill program size (only 1,200 meters, 5 holes)
- True width of gold intervals not yet established
- Additional drilling required to confirm extension of mineralization
Highlights :
- DH MKR-24-002 intersected 77.4 g/t gold over 6.9 meters including 445 g/t gold over 1.2 meters at the 1010 South Zone (Table 1, Figures 2-5).
- This represents a new high-grade gold discovery at depth of the 1010 South Zone
- This is the highest metal factor (534 g/t) intercept in the Project's history.
- The Company is in the process of planning follow-up holes to test the potential extensions of this high-grade intercept.
- DH MKR-24-001 intersected 2.58 g/t gold over 0.50 meters.
- DH MKR-24-003 intersected two zones 2.70 g/t gold over 0.80 meters and 1.26 g/t gold over 1.30 meters.
Jim Deluce, Company Director, commented: "I am thrilled by this discovery and the work completed this past winter at Carscallen Property. These results, the highest ever at the property, not only demonstrate the continuity of the high-grade vein system along strike and down-dip with the best drill intersections attained to date, but also the potential that Carscallen holds when drilling new zones."
Mr. Deluce continued: "The newly discovered bonanza grade mineralization at the 1010 Gold Zone, together with our high-grade gold prospects at Zamzam, Jowsey and Shenkman gold showings, truly attest to the upside potential of the area for significant mineral discoveries. Our next step is to review the intercept in more detail to determine follow-up holes to expand on this high-grade intercept. We look forward to our next drill campaign as we continue to develop Carscallen."
1010 Gold Zone
The 1010 gold showings are characterized by multiple, anastomosing, shear-hosted, quartz-sulphide veins which are locally enveloped by silica-albite-sericite altered stockwork breccia mineralization in the surface. The gold zones are often steep dipping (> 75 degrees) and often exhibits pinch and swell attitude, reaching to over 500m strike length in a north trend direction. The high-grade gold mineralization is coincident strongly altered, structurally controlled magnetics zones which are overlapping with mod-high IP chargeability (conductors), and moderate resistivity. These classical geophysical signatures are typical in almost all of the gold showings at the Carscallen Property.
In a north-south longitudinal section, the mineralization at 1010 Gold Zone appears to be controlled by fold hinge structure where the 1010N is plunging to the north while the 1010S has a low southerly plunge. Current exploration is focused on testing new gold opportunities and expanding the well- developed gold-bearing mineralization outside the main Zamzam-Jowsey-Shenkman Zones, with additional high-grade ore shoots along series of repeating gold mineralized shears like the 1010 Zone.
