Midland Announces the Discovery of a New GOLD Zone ON Samson, Southeast of Wallbridge’S Fenelon/Tabasco Deposit

Exploration Programs

MIDLAND ANNOUNCES THE DISCOVERY OF A NEW GOLD ZONE ON SAMSON,

SOUTHEAST OF WALLBRIDGE’S FENELON/TABASCO DEPOSIT

Montreal, September 1st, 2020. Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to

announce the discovery of a new gold -bearing zone on its Samson project. This property is wholly

owned by Midland and is located approximately 15 kilometres southeast of the Fenelon and Tabasco

deposits held by Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd (“Wallbridge”).

Highlights:

• Discovery of a new gold -bearing s tructure favourably located a few kilometres SE of the

high-grade Fenelon/Tabasco deposit held by Wallbridge

• Presence of several visible gold grains

• High-grade quartz-albite vein grading up to 99.1 g/t Au and 71.3 g/t Ag over 0.4 metre

• Additional drilling set to begin over the next few days to test the extensions of this new gold-

bearing structure

Over the course of July 2020, a diamond drilling campaign consisting of five (5) drill holes totalling

1,287.0 metres was completed on the Samson project. This dr illing program was mainly designed to

test induced polarization (IP) anomalies characterized by chargeability highs located in the heart of a

folded magnetic structure and associated with resistivity lows. The program also included two drill

holes testing chargeability IP an omalies coinciding with resisti vity highs located immediately to the

east of the fold nose.

A new gold-bearing zone, named Golden Delilah, was discovered in drill hole SAM-20-10 during the

drilling program. This new discovery consists of a quartz-albite vein intersected over a core length of

1.60 metres long, hosted in ultramafic intrusive rocks, which graded 99.1 g/t Au , 71.3 g/t Ag and

0.17% Pb over 0.40 metre, from 106.45 to 106.85 metres. This section of the vein is characterized by

the presence of at least 13 visible gold grains some 1-2 mm in diameter over 40 centimetres; the rest

of the vein yielded gold values ranging between 1.57 g/t Au and 2.23 g/t Au. The vein is cut by a late

fault with no core recovered over 1.05 metre (see Table 1). This zone was interse cted in two holes

drilled on the same section, along the north limb of the folded magnetic structure.

Drill hol e SAM-20-11, testing approximately 50 metres below d rill hole SAM-20-10, intersected

2.21 g/t Au over 0.45 m etre from 120.70 to 121.15 metres . This new gold -bearing structur e is

interpreted as a possible subsidiary o f the regional Lower Detour Fau lt. The Golden Delilah zone

remains open in all directions. Assay results for the rest of holes SAM-20-10 and 11 are pending.

The three remaining holes drilled during this campaign s uccessfully explained the IP anomalies with

the presence of disseminated a nd stringer sul phides, composed of variable amounts of pyrite,

pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Assay results for these three drill holes (SAM-20-07, 08 and

09) are pending.

Drilling program to resume shortly

Midland is set to resume drill ing shortly, with a new campaign of s even (7) drill holes totalling more

than 2,000 metres; one (1) drill hole will test 25 me tres above hole SAM -20-10 in order to test the

Delilah Zone and confirm the dip of the zone , two (2) drill holes will test the lateral e xtensions of the

Golden Delilah zone along a 50 -metre step-out, and four (4) drill holes will test other high-priority IP

anomalies identified during the December 2019 survey.

Cautionary statement

The true thickness of reported intervals cannot be determined with the information currently available;

intervals are thus reported in core length.

Quality Control

Exploration programs are designed, and results are interpreted by Quali fied Persons employing a

Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practic es, including the use

of standards and blanks for every 20 samples. Core samples from the Golden Delilah mineralized zone

were analyzed by metallic scre en fire assay (Au -SCR21) at ALS Minerals laboratories in Val d’Or,

Quebec.; this method is optimal for samples containing visible gold.

All samples are also analysed for multi -elements, using four -acid ICP –AES method (ME-ICP61) at

ALS Minerals laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia.
