Midland Commences Drilling Campaign to Test New Targets on the Maritime-Cadillac Project

21.03.2017  |  Marketwired

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 21, 2017) - Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling will resume on the Maritime-Cadillac property, in partnership with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. ("Agnico Eagle"). The Maritime-Cadillac property is contiguous to Agnico Eagle's Lapa gold mine property, where commercial production began in 2009 and where proven and probable mineral reserves currently stand at 0.26 million tonnes grading 4.58 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, for approximately 38,000 ounces of gold.

New high-quality targets generated by 3D modelling

Over the past few years, a significant amount of compilation work and a three-dimensional geological model (3D model) were generated along a segment of the Cadillac Fault, including the Maritime-Cadillac property. The 3D model has confirmed the NW-SE orientation of the Dyke East gold-bearing structure, which was previously encountered in drill holes with grades of 1.7 g/t Au over 46.4 metres, including 21.1 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (drill hole 141-11-31) and 1.7 g/t Au over 37.85 metres, including 12.6 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (drill hole 141-10-23). The intersection between this major structure and the Maritime Contact, which hosts the Lapa mine deposit located less than 2 kilometres to the northwest, remains untested and is one of the high-priority drilling targets to be tested during this campaign.

During the upcoming drilling campaign, totalling a minimum of 1,500 metres, a number of drill holes have also been planned to validate historical high-grade gold values obtained near surface in the Maritime-Cadillac zone, with values up to 151 g/t Au over 0.8 metre, 140 g/t Au over 0.3 metre, 17.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 16.5 g/t Au over 0.9 metre. The depth extensions of the Maritime-Cadillac zone remain open beyond 250 metres vertical depth.

The Maritime-Cadillac property (JV Agnico Eagle 51% and Midland 49%) is well located in the eastern part of the Cadillac mining camp, south of the Lapa gold mine. The presence of significant lithological contacts (Pontiac-Piché-Cadillac) within the Cadillac-Larder Lake deformation zone provides excellent potential for the development of lode gold or disseminated gold deposits.
