Melkior Resources Inc. ("Melkior")(TSX VENTURE: MKR) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent for the sale of its Otish Basin uranium interests to Kakanda Resources Corp. Prior to the sale, Melkior is a 50-50 partner with Santoy Resources Ltd. Santoy will retain its interest and become operator of the project.

Melkior considers the sale of its Otish uranium interests of significant interest to the three parties namely: Kakanda, Santoy and Melkior. Melkior intends to focus on the exploration of its gold properties in Timmins, Beardmore and Launay as well as its nickel properties in Timmins and Ungava. Kakanda is an emerging, dedicated and very active uranium explorer and Santoy is a focussed uranium exploration company and has considerable uranium expertise.
