Midland finds mineralized system at Caniapisc Au

Executive Summary

• Midland Exploration Inc. announced the discovery of a significant gold‑zinc‑silver mineralized system on its wholly‑owned Caniapisc Au project in James Bay, Quebec.
• Rock sampling (159 grab samples) returned eight hits > 1.00 g/t Au (max 14.3 g/t Au) and five hits > 1 % Zn (max 4.5 % Zn); soil work (318 B‑horizon samples) identified six values > 100 ppb Au (max 423 ppb).
• The company acquired an additional 201 claims by map designation and plans a follow‑up 10‑day exploration program with extensive mapping, prospecting, and a new grid‑based soil sampling campaign.

Key Details

• Project Scope: Caniapisc Au project comprises 296 EER claims covering 146 km² in the Ashuanipi subprovince (Raynouard complex).
• Rock Sample Highlights:
• 8 samples > 1.00 g/t Au (max 14.3 g/t Au) – all from boulders.
• 34 samples between 0.10–1.00 g/t Au.
• 5 samples > 1 % Zn (max 4.5 % Zn) and up to 7.67 % MnO, co‑located with the high‑Zn hits.
• Soil Sample Highlights:
• 6 samples > 100 ppb Au (max 423 ppb).
• 1 sample 50–100 ppb Au; 20 samples 10–50 ppb Au.
• An extensive Au‑Zn‑Mn anomaly identified around a southern lake, plus four additional strong Au‑only anomalies.
• Metal Assemblages Identified:
• Gold‑zinc‑silver‑lead (Au‑Zn‑Ag‑Pb)
• Gold‑zinc‑manganese‑silver (Au‑Zn‑Mn‑Ag)
• Copper‑molybdenum‑gold‑silver (Cu‑Mo‑Au‑Ag)
• Au‑Cu and Au‑dominant assemblages, indicating multiple source zones.
• Notable High‑Grade Boulders:
• Amphibolite boulder 800 m east of Au‑Zn‑Mn zone: 14.3 g/t Au.
• Amphibolite boulder > 3 km NE of same zone: 2.87 g/t Au with anomalous As.
• Western project amphibolite boulder: 3.29 g/t Au, 0.67 % Zn, 0.12 % Pb, 0.05 % Cu, 6.7 g/t Ag.
• Alteration & Mineralization Interpretation:
• Strong calc‑silicate (skarn‑type) alteration associated with Au‑Zn‑Mn zones; Cu‑Mo signatures suggest magmatic‑hydrothermal origin linked to felsic intrusions.
• New Claim Acquisition: 201 additional EER claims acquired by map designation along the project perimeter.
• Upcoming Exploration Program:
• 10‑day field campaign (geological mapping, prospecting).
• Soil grid: 200 samples at 200 m spacing on 400 m grids; tighter spacing near new anomalies.
• Quality Control: Samples analyzed by Actlabs (ICP‑MS, fire assay for Au, neutron activation for soil Au, ICP‑OES for Zn/Mn); QA/QC program follows industry best practices.
