Midland Discovers New GOLD-Bearing Structures up-Ice from High- Grade Erratic Boulders Recently Found ON Laflamme JV
MIDLAND DISCOVERS NEW GOLD-BEARING STRUCTURES UP-ICE FROM HIGH-
GRADE ERRATIC BOULDERS RECENTLY FOUND ON LAFLAMME JV
Montreal, November 29, 2022. Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to
report the discovery of at least two new g old-bearing structures during a recent prospecting program
that took place in October 2022 on the 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 total surface area of
about 234 square kilometres. This project is a joint venture between Midland (7 7.9%) and Abcourt
Mines Inc. (“Abcourt”) (22.1%).
Highlights:
• High-grade samples with gold values up to 18.9 g/t Au and 5.67 g/t Au,
• New gold-bearing shear zone grading 3.73 g/t Au.
High-grade samples in shear zone
During a prospecting program conducted in late October 2022 , a follow -up on a n outcrop with
anomalous gold values found by Midland in May 2022 led to the discovery of a high-grade gold zone.
Sample A0361338 was collected in a shear zone with strong silica and carbonate alteration, i njected
with irregular quartz vein ing associat ed with 5% fine pyrite. Th is sample grad ed 18.9 g/t Au. A
second sample , collect ed in the sam e zo ne, 20 cm from the first sample, graded 5.67 g/t Au and
exhibits intense silicification. This shear zone is located 500 metres northeast of gold-bearing boulders
discovered in May (28.7 g/t Au and 6.0 g/t Au ) and may represent the source o f these boulders (see
press release by Midland dated June 13, 2022).
New gold-bearing shear zone
Also during the October 2022 campa ign, a follow-up on a soil sample with anomalous Au-Ag-As-Te-
V-W values led to the discovery of a new gold-bearing shear zone. This structure is located 800 metres
north-northeast of the gold -bearing boulder and 400 metres northwest of sample A0361338 described
above. The structure has a true thickness of approximately 4 metres and is exposed over a distance of
approximately 15 metres. The structure exhibits intense silic ification and con tains 1% to 10 % pyrite.
Sample A0361269, collected in the central part of the structure, graded 3.73 g/t Au . Two (2) other
samples collected from this structure yielded anomalous gold values of 0.363 g/t Au and 0.333 g/t Au.
Summary of work conducted in the vicinity of gold-bearing boulder
Following the discovery of the gold-bearing boulder in May 2022, a variety of work was undertaken in
the vicinity of the boulder to locate its source. This work includes a ver y detailed high -resolution
drone-supported magnetic survey with fli ght lines spac ed every 25 metres, a dipole-dipole induced
polarization survey along lines at a 100-metre spacing, a soil survey totalling 230 samples along a grid
with stations spaced every 25 metres and lines at a 100 -metre spacing, and a prospec ting program in
October targeting anomalies identified by previous work. Based on the results of the latest campaign ,
Midland intends to pursue exploration work on gold-bearing shear zones in the area, and a stripping
program as well as 3,000 metres of drilling are currently being planned.
This new favourable area is loca ted approximately 700 metres southeast of the Notting Hill gold
showing discovered in 2013 by Midland, which gr aded 0.34 g/t Au over 25.56 metres from 144.00 to
169.56 metres in drill hole LAF -13-21. In addition, this new di scovery 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 rel ease by Osisko Mining dated
September 28, 2018).
Cautionary statements:
Note that gra des de termined from grab samples and erratic boulders may not be representative of
mineralized zones.
Mineralization occurring at t he Osborne-Bell deposit is not necessarily indicativ e of mineralization
that may be found on the Laflamme property.
True thickness es 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 gra vimetric finish (Au -GRA21) at ALS Laboratories in Val-d’Or,
Quebec. Exploration program s are designed, and results are inter preted by Qualified Persons
employing a Quality Assurance/Quali ty Con trol program consistent with industry best practices,
including the use of standards and blanks with every batch of 20 samples.
