Midland and Probe GOLD Announce Mmi Soil Results ON the Copper- GOLD-Silver-Molybdenum Discovery, LA Peltrie Project
MIDLAND AND PROBE GOLD ANNOUNCE MMI SOIL RESULTS ON THE COPPER-
GOLD-SILVER-MOLYBDENUM DISCOVERY, LA PELTRIE PROJECT
Montreal, December 10, 2024. Midland Exploration I nc. (“Midland”) (TSX -V: MD), in joint
venture with Probe Gold Inc. (“Probe”), is pleased to announce the results of MMI sampling in the
vicinity of the large copper -gold-silver-molybdenum (“Cu-Au-Ag-Mo”) discovery made in 2022 on
the La Peltrie project. This significant mineralized system is located 15 kilometres southeast of Agnico
Eagle’s Zone 58N gold deposit and 25 kilometres west of the former Selbaie mine, which produced
56.9 Mt grading 0.87% Cu, 1.85% Zn, 39 g/t Ag, and 0.55 g/t Au (historical production).
The La Peltrie project is now in joint venture with Probe Gold Inc. (“Probe”) since September 2024.
Highlights:
• 8 values above 10,000 ppb Cu, reaching up to 31,100 ppb Cu.
• 96 values above 2,000 ppb Cu and 15 values above 100 ppb Mo.
• MMI Cu values identify the main Cu-Au-Mo-Ag zone and extend westward.
• Several additional subparallel anomalies to the north and northeast, proximal to the contact
between volcanic rocks and the Carheil intrusion.
• MMI Cu-Au-Ag-Mo anomalies show a very strong correlation with samples collected
during the prospecting campaign.
The MMI sampling grid , totalling 786 soil samples , covers the main Cu-Au-Ag-Mo discovery that
graded 0.20% CuEq* over 513.5 metres (see press release by Midland dated January 22, 2024), at a
spacing of 50 m and 100 m along sampling lines spaced 200 m to 400 m apart . The grid extends
northward to cover the southern contact of the Carheil intrusion. This soil sampling grid successful ly
identified the main Cu-Au-Ag-Mo zone and also extended the latter westward.
Anomalous MMI values to the north and northeast show a good correlation with existing Cu values in
isolated prospecting samples collected in 2020 and 2023. Several of these anomalous areas also
correlate with the best IP anomalies from the survey conducted last March and have yet to be drill -
tested.
SRK Consulting performed a structural analysis of the high-resolution aeromagnetic survey conducted
in 2020, and preliminary files were sent by SRK for review. To date, fault structures (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
4th order) have been established from the data. The objective of this structural analysis of the project is
to improve the structural and geological understanding of the copper mineralized zone . The study
covers the copper discovery and extends northward, to cover the Carheil intrusion. A final report,
including the best areas of interest defined by SRK, is expected in late November.
The structural interpretation, MMI survey, drilling and IP survey will be used to identify highly
prospective areas associated with Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization for an upcoming drilling program that
is currently in preparation.
Cautionary statements:
* Copper equivalent (“CuEq”) values were calculated using the following metal prices: Au
$1,500.00/oz, Cu $3.25/lb, Ag $15.00/oz, Mo $15.00/lb. CuEq values are used for exploration
purposes only and do not include estimations of metallurgical recovery.
The true thickness of drilling intervals reported in this press release cannot be determined with the
information currently available; intervals are thus reported in core length.
Mineralization occurring at the Zone 58N deposit and at the former Selbaie mine is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization that may be found on the La Peltrie project held by Midland/Probe
described in this press release.
About Probe
Probe is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and
development of highly prospective gold properties. Probe is committed to discovering and developing
high-quality gold projects, including its key asset the multimillion -ounce Novador Gold Project,
Quebec. Probe is well funded and controls a strategic land package of approximately 1,500 square
kilometres of exploration ground within some of the most prolific gold belts in Quebec. The company
was formed as a result of the $526M sale of Probe Mines Limited to Goldcorp. Eldorado Gold
Corporation currently owns approximately 10% of the company.
About Midland
Midland targets the excellent mineral potential of Quebec to make the discovery of new world -class
deposits of gold and critical metals. Midland is proud to count on reputable partners such as Probe
Gold Inc., Barrick Gold Corporation, BHP Canada Inc., Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc.,
Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, SOQUEM Inc., Electric Element s
Mining Corp., Nunavik Mineral Exploration Fund, and Abcourt Mines Inc. Midland prefers to work in
partnership and intends to quickly conclude additional agreements in regard to newly acquired
properties. Management is currently reviewing other opportunities and projects to build up the
Company portfolio and generate shareholder value.
