Midland Exploration Inc. and Soquem Inc. announced the discovery of a high‑grade copper‑gold‑rare‑earth element (REE) zone in the Labrador Trough, with grab sample assays up to 31.60 % Cu, 6.92 g/t Au and 0.16 % REE.
The discovery triggered the acquisition of 36 exclusive exploration rights (EER) covering 17.4 km², now designated “Malaco Mountain,” expanding the alliance’s target area by ~70 km south of the Nachicapau project.
Additional follow‑up work conducted in September 2025 is pending; historic drilling from 1962 suggests mineralization may extend at depth.

Sample Assays (grab samples on outcrop):
Sample 1 – 31.60 % Cu, 6.92 g/t Au, 0.16 % REE, up to 0.20 % Co, 37.30 g/t Ag.
Sample 2 – 12.30 % Cu, 0.36 g/t Au, 0.57 % REE.
Sample 3 – 0.65 % Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.39 % REE.
Associated commodities: cobalt up to 0.20 % and silver up to 37.30 g/t in the same samples.
Exploration rights acquired: 36 EER covering 17.4 km² (block named “Malaco Mountain”).
Geological setting:
Mineralization hosted in cherty siltstones and mudstones; disseminated chalcopyrite and malachite parallel to bedding, associated with fractures, breccias, shearing.
Veining includes massive pyrite, chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite, digenite.
Historical context: Shallow drilling from 1962 (GM13648; MRNQ) intersected significant chalcopyrite; no assay data released but indicates potential depth extension.
Follow‑up work: One day of surface sampling in September 2025; results pending.
Quality control: Samples analyzed by Actlabs (ICP‑MS, fire assay); QA/QC program includes standards and blanks every 20 samples.
Cautionary statement: Grab samples are selective and may not represent the broader zone; mineralization on other Midland projects is not implied.
