Midland Acquires a New Property With Strong Au-Cu Potential East of SOQUEM's B26 Zone in Abitibi

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2014) - Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce the acquisition, by map designation, of a new property with strong gold and copper potential located about 15 kilometres east of the B26 zone held by SOQUEM INC. ("SOQUEM") and about 20 kilometres east of the former Selbaie mine, which historically produced 56.5 Mt grading 1.9% Zn, 0.9% Cu, 38.0 g/t Ag and 0.6 g/t Au.

The Adam property is wholly owned by Midland and is located about 65 kilometres west of the town of Matagami. It consists of 182 cells covering a surface area of about 100 square kilometres in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The B26 and East Zone gold-copper deposits, held and worked actively by SOQUEM, respectively host historical resources on the order of 600,000 metric tonnes grading 2.9 g/t Au and 2.8% Cu and 750,000 metric tonnes grading 2.0% Cu and 0.4 g/t Au (Source: SOQUEM website; historical resources non-compliant with NI 43-101). In addition, drill holes completed in 2012 by Excellon Resources Inc. ("Excellon") on the Beschefer property (B-14 zone) located less than 7 kilometres west of the Adam property, intersected high-grade gold intervals reaching 13.07 g/t Au over 8.75 metres, including 58.5 g/t Au over 1.50 metre (Source: press release by Excellon dated April 17, 2012).

This new acquisition with strong gold and copper potential covers, over more than 8 kilometres, the regional contact between tholeiitic volcanic rocks of the Enjalran Group and calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Brouillan Group as well as an assemblage of felsic volcaniclastic rocks. The B26 zone is hosted in felsic to mafic volcaniclastic rocks with iron carbonate, chlorite, sericite, and silica alteration. In the south part of the Adam property lies another favourable contact, between volcanic rocks of the Enjalran Group and wackes, mudrocks, and iron formations of the Taibi sedimentary Group. A gold showing is located less than 5 kilometres west of the Adam property, where a historical drill hole yielded grades reaching 19.9 g/t Au over 0.77 metre (Source: SIGEOM map sheet 32E10, GM56241).

On the Adam property, historical INPUT electromagnetic surveys identified several conductors that have never been drill-tested, located near the felsic volcanic units identified near the favourable regional contact between the Enjalran and Brouillan groups.
