Midland Resumes Exploration Work on the Willbob Gold Project in the

Labrador Trough

MONTRÉAL, June 28, 2018 -- Midland Exploration inc. (“Midland“) (TSX-V:MD) is pleased to announce that exploration will

resume shortly on its Willbob gold project (wholly owned by Midland), located close to the Kan project (Osisko Mining /

Barrick Gold) at about 70 kilometers west of Kuujjuaq, Quebec. The Willbob project covers several tens of kilometers of

stratigraphy and structures that are favorable for gold in the Labrador Trough. This first phase of exploration in 2018 will consist

in a mechanical trenching and channeling program coupled with a prospection and geological mapping campaign that will last

about a month.

Mechanical trenching and channeling will focus on the main gold showings found by prospection in 2017. The following grades

were obtained on these showings in 2017 (grab samples): Wayne ( 250.1 g/t Au, 40.1 g/t Au, 32.7 g/t Au, 24.8 g/t Au and

four additional samples with more than 1 g/t Au), Didgeridoo showing ( 1.37 g/t Au / 6.1 m in a single channel, 2.77 g/t Au,

2.35 g/t Au, 1.82 g/t Au in grab samples), Alias (72.7 g/t Au, 48.6 g/t Au, 19.95 g/t Au, and five additional samples with more

than 1 g/t Au), SP ( 419 g/t Au, 38.3 g/t Au, 21.7 g/t Au) and the Lac H showing ( 1.75 g/t Au). Note that grab samples are

selective by nature and values reported are not be representative of mineralized zones.

Prospection and geological mapping will target favorable shear structures and geological contexts that were identified in 2017.

It will also focus on localizing the sources of strong lake sediment anomalies (gold and other metals) obtained during a high-

density survey done by Midland last year.

Quality Control

Rock samples on the project are assayed by standard 30 gram fire-assaying with AA or gravimetric finish at ALS Minerals

laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. All samples are also analysed for multi-elements, using four-acid ICP–

AES method. Exploration program design and interpretation of results is performed 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.

The technical or scientific information in this press release has been prepared by Sylvain Trepanier, P.Geo., VP Exploration for

James Bay and Northern Quebec at Midland, a “qualified person” as defined by NI 43-101.
