Carscallen Timmins drilling Update
Further to the news release issued on February 20, 2016, Melkior has had to delay its winter drill program. The unusually warm winter and early breakup means drilling will now start May 4, 2016, when the snow has melted and the ground is clear. The objective, however, remains the same, with the focus to drill the interesting new gold zone in volcanics. It will involve entering several existing holes and extending them deeper and redirecting new holes under the wet areas. For more details on the drill program please refer to the news release issued on February 20, 2016
