[{"type":"text","content":"Midland and SOQUEM Report New Assay Results Up to 27.60% Cu and 0.88 g/t Au on the Malaco Mountain Copper-Gold-Rare Earth Element Zone in the Labrador Trough\n\n\n\n MONTREAL, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland Exploration Inc.\n \n (“Midland”)\n \n\n (TSX-V: MD)\n \n , in partnership with SOQUEM Inc.\n \n (“SOQUEM”\n \n ), is pleased to announce new assay results for the Malaco Mountain copper, gold, and rare earth elements (REE) zone discovered in June 2025 in the Labrador Trough (\n \n see press release dated September 30, 2025\n \n ). These results follow a rock sampling campaign conducted in September 2025 and confirm the potential of this area. For many years, a reconnaissance program conducted under the Strategic Alliance (the “Alliance”) in Nunavik has focused on the central part of the Labrador Trough, identified as prospective for the discovery of economic copper mineralization.\n \n\n\n\n Highlights\n \n\n\n :\n \n\n\n\n\n Two sampling transects, 10 and 13 meters long, were completed during an exploration campaign in September on the mineralized outcrop at Malaco Mountain;\n \n\n\n\n Ten samples with grades above 1% Cu, reaching 27.60% Cu and 0.88 g/t Au (#C1455754);\n \n\n\n\n Other commodities also associated with these samples, namely REE (up to 1.77% REE), cobalt (up to 0.35% Co), and silver (up to 32.40 g/t Ag).\n \n\n\n\n\n In June 2025, during a reconnaissance campaign in the Labrador Trough, three samples were collected from an outcrop and graded as follows: (1) 31.60% Cu, 6.92 g/t Au, 0.16% REE; (2) 12.30% Cu, 0.36 g/t Au, 0.57% REE, and (3) 0.65% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.39% REE (\n \n see press release dated September 30, 2025\n \n ). A single day of follow-up work on this new copper-gold-REE showing named Malaco Mountain was carried out in September 2025. The objective was to characterize the distribution and extent of mineralization on the outcrop and assess the economic potential of this discovery. Two sampling transects, perpendicular to the stratigraphy of the strongly mineralized sedimentary unit, were completed over lengths of 10 and 13 meters. A total of 25 grab samples were collected every meter along these transects. Best results obtained from these samples are listed in the table below.\n \n\n\n Table: Assay results for grab...
