(“Melkior” or the “Company”) (TSXV:MKR) (OTC:MKRIF) is pleased to announce that it has received $1 million in cash for the sale of its investment in IR Battery Resource and Processing Inc (“IR Battery”).

Jonathon Deluce, CEO of Melkior, remarks, “We applaud the IR Battery team for their hard work, which lead to us realizing a $700,000 gain on our investment and now having approximately $2.4M in our treasury with no debt. With our current treasury and low G&A burn, we are well-positioned to get through this consolidation in the gold price and softness in the junior mining market without any financing dilution to our shareholders.
