MIDLAND RESUMES DRILLING ON MARITIME-CADILLAC

Montreal, August 27, 2020. Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to report

that the drilling program on Maritime -Cadillac, which was initially planned in March but had to be

suspended due to mandatory confinement measures related to the COVID -19 pandemic, has resumed.

The Maritime -Cadillac property is a joint venture between Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (51%)

(“Agnico Eagle”) and Midland (49%) and is located along the Cadillac Break.

This new drilling program will include a drill hole totalling 850 metres in length, designed to test the

down-plunge extension of the Dyke East zone at a vertical depth of 600 metres.

Another hole, totalling 400 metres in length, will be drilled to test two parallel gold-bearing zones (the

South and North zones), previously intersected in a drill hole south of the Maritime-Cadillac zone, in a

historically un derexplored area. A second phase of drilling totalling 400 metres has been planned

contingent on the results of the first phase.

This drilling campaign totalling 1,650 metres has just started.

Dyke East zone

The proposed drilling program for the Dyke East zone includes an 850-metre-long drill hole targeting

the depth extension (at 600 m etres vertical depth) down -plunge from a few historical drill holes that

yielded gold-bearing intervals over significant width s. Drill hole 141-10-23 yielded a grade of 1.7 g/t

Au over 37.85 metres, from 311.25 to 349.10 metres depth, including 12.6 g/t Au over 1.5 metre, from

329.0 to 330.5 metres depth. In addition, drill hole 141-11-31, testing more than 100 metres below hole

141-10-23, intersected an interval grading 1.7 g/t Au over 46.4 metres, from 399.0 to 445.4 metres depth,

including 21.0 g/t Au over 1.2 metres, from 412.8 to 414.0 metres depth (see press releases by Midland

dated May 27, 2010 and July 19, 2011).

Note that the Dyke East zone is characterized by a felsic dyke swarm hosted in schists of the Piché

Group.

Area south of the Maritime-Cadillac zone

A 400-metre-long drill hole is proposed to test a significant gap located between the Maritime-Cadillac

zone and an area previously drill-tested by Agnico Eagle in 2006-2007 in the south part of the property,

where gold-bearing intervals grading 9.4 g/t Au over 1.1 metre and 8.4 g/t Au over 1.1 metre (true

thicknesses) were reported.

The target area is located approximately 400 metres south of the Maritime-Cadillac zone and is proximal

to a structural feature (fold nose). The drill hole is designed to test two known zones (the South and

North zones) at vertical depths of 100 and 200 metres respectively.

Cautionary statement:

The true thickness of drill intercepts reported in this press release cannot be determined with the

information currently available; intervals are therefore reported in core length.
