Executive Summary

  • Midland Exploration has launched a September 2025 follow‑up exploration program on its newly discovered gold‑zinc‑silver mineralization at the Caniapisc Au project in James Bay.
  • The company has map‑designated two additional wholly‑owned projects (Lac Bernard and Viau) in the same region, based on regional geochemical anomalies.
  • Summer 2025 field work identified multiple high‑grade polymetallic boulders, including a 14.3 g/t Au intercept, and a 1,827 km magnetic/electromagnetic survey is planned to further define targets.

Key Details

  • Project Scope: Caniapisc Au project – 296 exclusive exploration rights (EER), covering 146 km²; Lac Bernard – 217 EER (110 km²); Viau – 81 EER (40 km²).
  • September 2025 Program:
  • Prospecting and soil‑sampling of ~160 locations to cover unsampled areas and tighten spacing on Au‑Zn soil anomalies identified in summer 2025.
  • Planned 1,827 km magnetic & electromagnetic geophysical survey across the Caniapisc Au project.
  • Summer 2025 Results (Caniapisc Au):
  • 159 grab samples collected; 8 samples > 1.00 g/t Au, highest at 14.3 g/t Au.
  • 5 samples > 1.0 % Zn with anomalous MnO values.
  • Polymetallic assemblages identified: Au‑Zn‑Ag‑Pb; Au‑Zn‑Mn‑Ag; Cu‑Mo‑Au‑Ag.
  • Three amphibolite boulders returned 14.3, 3.29, and 2.87 g/t Au; the 3.29 g/t sample also anomalous in Zn and Pd.
  • Lac Bernard Project (newly map‑designated):
  • Located ~30 km south of Caniapisc Au; hosts Au, Cu, Mo, Zn lake‑bottom anomalies on a favorable magnetic complex.
  • Historical 1996 reconnaissance by Mines D’Or Virginia Inc. reported five anomalous gold boulders (0.10–1.39 g/t Au).
  • Viau Project (newly map‑designated):
  • ~16 km west of Caniapisc Au; contains Zn and Mo lake‑bottom anomalies on a magnetic high linked to fluorite granite.
  • Two grab samples from summer 2025 yielded 25 and 32 ppb Au in granitic boulders.
  • Lake‑Bottom Sediment Sampling: Completed across Caniapisc Au, Lac Bernard, and Viau; samples are being processed with results pending.
  • Quality Control: Rock samples analyzed by ICP‑MS (Actlabs, Ontario) with fire assay confirmation; soil samples analyzed by neutron activation for Au and ICP‑OES for Zn/Mn. QA/QC procedures follow industry best practices.
