The TIMMINS WEST Project (100% owned by Melkior Resources) is located approximately 30 km west of downtown Timmins, Ontario and 6 km west of the site where Lake Shore Gold is currently developing an exploration shaft. Exploration by Melkior has located several high grade gold zones with significant results including 854 g/t from surface grab samples and chip samples of 12.7 g/t over 3.0 metres. Significant drill results to date include 19.18 g/t Au over 3.18 metres on the 1010 Zone.

The 100% owned Timmins West property was purchased from private vendors in March 2005, with the vendors retaining a 2% NSR. The initial 63 claim unit property has been expanded to 120 claim units covering 1920 hectares through staking and acquisitions. The current areas of focused exploration are within the core area of the claim group.

The Timmins West property was explored extensively in the 1930's with three exploration shafts sunk on the property in addition to several kilometres of hand trenching within this core area of the claims. Development work on the Wire Gold occurrence, located on the Timmins West property, reportedly resulted in spectacular gold mineral samples being shipped to museums and collectors. Exploration activity has been focused on these areas of historic interest, based in part on the reproducible assays obtained from historic workings, faith in the prospectors of the 1930's and the adage “where there is smoke there is fire”.

Melkior's exploration of the Timmins West property commenced in the summer of 2006, two weeks were spent on site sampling known gold occurrences.

In 2006 and the winter of 2007 line cutting, ground magnetometer and induced polarization was conducted over the core area of the property. The summer 2007 exploration program was focused on developing data obtained from the IP survey results and sampling results obtained during the summer of 2006.

Mechanical stripping was conducted over anomalous areas identified by the IP survey to understand the geology related to these anomalies. Additionally mechanical and hand stripping was conducted over areas of the 1010 vein, the Mystery Shear and the Jowsey Vein. In the fall of 2007 2543 metres of NQ drilling was conducted in 23 holes to test geophysical and geologic targets which resulted in the ZamZam Zone being extended 400 metres to the south and the 1010 Vein system extended 100 metres to the north. The ZamZam and the 1010 zones are separate parallel vein systems located approximately 450 metres apart. Other vein systems in the area remain to be explored.

Jowsey Occurrence - 700m northeast of 1010 vein

Two pits dating from the 1930's are present at each end of this occurrence, and samples were taken at and between the historic pits. The pits, when observed were full of debris and the vein overgrown with vegetation indicating a limited exposure to sampling in the recent decades. The gold mineralization appears to be related to areas of higher sulphide concentrations in an offset shear and vein system.

The highest values were obtained at the southern extent of the pit system where the historic mining effort appeared to end. The series of grab samples was taken from vein and sulphide material that varies in width from 4cm to 30cm. Samples taken where the vein was cross cut by a small east west fault had a significant increase in sulphide content and returned assay results of up to 280.13 g/t gold.

In 2007 the Jowsey vein was further exposed by a combination of hand and mechanical trenching. The vein system was exposed intermittently over 160m along the north – south trend. Towards the northern end of the trench near a historic exploration shaft a composite grab sample returned 12.71 g/t over 1.0 metres.
