) has engaged Geologica Groupe Conseil Inc. ("Geologica"), a recognized geotechnical organization with extensive Abitibi Region experience, to undertake a complete evaluation of all previous data over Melkior's Launay property located in northern Quebec approximately 100km northwest of Val d'Or.A 43-101 standard report will be prepared.The Launay property covers 4677 hectares over the eastern portions of the Launay batholith batholith, enormous mass of intrusive igneous rock, that is, rock made of once-molten material that has solidified below the earth's surface (see rock). Batholiths usually are granitic (see granite) in composition, have steeply inclined walls, have no visible floors,  which has been subject to several phases of shearing and alteration and contains a number of gold bearing zones characterized by silicification si·lic·i·fy

.The property hosts at least 6 gold occurrences which are described in Quebec government documents and reports from the Corporation.

a) The Lode type mineralization occurs within shear and faults zones which contain numerous quartz-carbonate-shulphide veinlets, breccias and vein stockworks.This type of mineralization is found in Zone "Principale" and in Zone "53".

b) Disseminated type mineralization occurs in the Launay felsic intrusive rocks where gold-bearing pyrite is disseminated in a massive intrusive phase rich in plagioclase feldspar plagioclase feldspar (plā`jēəklās'): see feldspar.  ("albitite"); this type of mineralization is found in Zone "75".

During 2004-2005 Melkior completed 109.5 kilometers of line cutting and magnetic surveying at Launay, and an additional 30 kilometers of surveys are now underway.Approximately 1000 soil geochemical samples have been gathered over a total of 75 kilometer of grid lines in the northern part of the property.These samples will be sent for analysis shortly.This work completes coverage of the entire property with these exploration methods. The entire claim group has also been recently covered by a detailed electromagnetic and magnetic survey.
