Press Release

Melkior drills 21.42/t gold and over 2.95 metres in West Timmins.
May 20, 2010

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire – May 20, 2010) - Melkior Resources Inc. ("Melkior") (TSX VENTURE: MKR) is pleased to update shareholders on the ongoing 20,000 metre diamond drill program on its 100% owned Carscallen Gold property (“the property), located approximately 25 kilometres west of Timmins, Ontario, 5 kilometres west of the Lake Shore Gold Corp Timmins Mine and adjacent to Lake Shore’s West Timmins land holdings.

The results being reported are from the Zam Zam and Shenkman zones. To date the gold mineralized zones have been traced for approximately 1200 metres along the Zam Zam Shenkman corridor, with at least three distinct styles of gold mineralization being detected. The gold zones are open at depth and along strike.

1) Gold in narrow quartz pyrite veins, frequently multiple within a granite host.

2) Gold in quartz pyrite veins within altered volcanics north of the granite-volcanic contact. (North of the Zam Zam zone).

3) Gold in a Quartz Feldspar Porphyry (QFP) within volcanics (Hole CAR-38-2010, Press Release April 6th, 2010).

It should be noted that the holes frequently intersected wide zones of numerous narrow quartz pyrite veinlets carrying anomalous gold values. In the tables below Melkior is only reporting those veinlets which have gold values of greater than 1.0g/t. For some holes we have combined the anomalous veinlets with the greater than 1.0g/t values to show the grade across a wider geological section.

Melkior’s exploration of the Carscallen property is still in early stages. As drilling progresses deeper preparation of a 3D model of the mineralized horizons is key to deep drilling. CAR-41-2010, CAR-44-2010 and CAR-45-2010 are infill holes drilled between CAR-32-2010, CAR-33-2010 and CAR-38-2010 required for modelling the Zam Zam zone. CAR-43-2010 was drilled at the Shenkman zone.

Assays for CAR-41-2010, CAR-43-2010, CAR-44-2010 and partial results from CAR-45-2010, comprising a total of 1008 metres are being reported. An additional 1296 metres have been submitted to ALS Chemex, Val-d’Or, results are pending
