Midland Discovers High-Grade GOLD-Bearing Boulders ON Its Laflamme JV Project
MIDLAND DISCOVERS HIGH-GRADE GOLD-BEARING BOULDERS ON ITS
LAFLAMME JV PROJECT
Montreal, June 13, 2022. Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to report
the discovery of high-grade gold -bearing boulders as well as new auriferous shear zones dur ing a
recent prospecting program on its Laflamme JV project.
The Laflamme project is located approximately 25 kilometres northwest of the town of Lebel-sur-
Quévillon in Abitibi, Qu ebec, and currently consists of 436 claims covering a tota l surface area o f
about 234 square kilometres. This project is a joint venture between Midland ( 77.9%) and Abcourt
Mines Inc. (“Abcourt”) (22.1%).
High-grade gold-bearing boulders discovered by prospecting
During a prospecting program conducte d in late May 2022, a metre-scale angular erratic boulder was
discovered approximately 700 metres southeast of the hi storical Notting Hill gold showing. T his
boulder graded 28.7 g/t Au and is characterized by an int ense stockwork of quartz-ankerite veins
containing up to 15% pyr ite mineralization. Another sample collected from a sim ilar boulder located
1 metre apart yielded a grade of 6.0 g/t Au in a country rock completely altered to ankerite and
containing 5% pyrite mineralization, which represents the stockwork host rock.
Given the ang ular shape of this boulder and known glacial flow directions in this part of the Abitibi,
the potential source of these erratic boulders is interpreted as being at a short distance to the NNE. The
target area has never been drill-tested and corresponds to a magnetic low that remains untested over a
distance of more than 1.5 kilometres.
New gold-bearing shear structures identified near the discovery boulders
Prospecting also yielded several anomalous gold valu es on outcrops with grade s between 0.1 and
1.0 g/t Au, in grab samples associated with new shear zones with strong carbonate alteration,
supporting the gold potential in the vicinity of the discovery boulder.
This new favourable area is located approximately 700 metres southeast o f the Notting Hill gold
showing discovered in 2013 by Midland, which graded 0.34 g/t Au over 25.56 metres from 144.00 to
169.56 m etres in hole LAF-13-21. In addition, this new discovery is located approximately 12
kilometres northwe st of the Osborne-Bell deposit where Osisko Mining Inc. reported new drill
intersections grading up to 37.0 g/t Au over 5.4 metres (see press release by Osisko dated September
28, 2018).
During the coming field season, Midland is planning to conduct a soil sampling program, an i nduced
polarization survey , as well as mechanical stripping to help locate the source of the gold -bearing
boulders.
Cautionary statements:
Note that grab and float sample grades may not be representative of mineralized zones.
Mineralization occurring at the Osborne-Bell deposit is not necessarily indicative of mineralizat ion
that may be identified on the Laflamme property.
True thicknesses cannot be determined with the information currently available; intervals are thus
reported in core length.
Quality Control
Rock samples on the project are assayed for gold by standard 50-gram fire -assaying with atomic
absorption finish (Au-AA24) or gravimetric finish (Au -GRA22) at ALS Laboratories in Val-d’Or,
Quebec. Exploration programs are designed and results are interpreted by qualified persons employing
a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices, including the use
of standards and blanks with every 20 samples.
