| Melkior Resources
Inc. ("Melkior")(TSX VENTURE:
MKR) has completed an airborne time-domain electromagnetic
and magnetometer survey over its claims located east
of McFauld's Lake in the James Bay region of Ontario
. A total of 1700 line kilometres were surveyed using
the Fugro MEGATEM system. Melkior selected Fugro
Airborne Surveys Corp. and MEGATEM due to Fugro's
extensive worldwide experience surveying for nickel
and base metals with many years of experience at
target selection. MEGATEM is specifically suited
for locating large massive sulphide bodies at depths
of several hundred metres. Melkior anticipates that
potentially economic targets in this area must be
of considerable size hence MEGATEM is the ideal airborne
system.
Melkior has agreed to acquire the
claims to cover a strong regional gravity anomaly
adjacent to the Noront "Ring of Fire" (NR March 27,
2008). From worldwide experience it is known that
important nickel mining camps are typically located
on or adjacent to regional gravity features caused
by heavy geological units that can be indicative
of a mafic/ultramafic body which could be the central
intrusive source of nickel/copper mineralization.
The results of the MEGATEM survey
are expected within six weeks. If massive sulphide
targets are detected, these will be followed up by
detailed ground geophysics in preparation for drilling,
if warranted.
