[{"type":"text","content":"Midland Begins Major Airborne Electromagnetic Survey in Nunavik, Quebec, for Copper-Nickel as Part of its Strategic Alliance with BHP\n\n\n\n MONTREAL, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD)\n \n is pleased to announce the start of an important copper-nickel exploration program in Nunavik, following exploration work from 2020 to 2024, during which new Cu-Ni-Co mineralized showings were discovered.\n \n\n This new program will be carried out within the framework of the strategic alliance\n \n (the “Alliance”)\n \n , signed in August 2020 between Midland’s wholly owned subsidiary, Midland Base Metals Inc., and Rio Algom Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited\n \n (“BHP”)\n \n .\n \n\n The 2025 exploration program will focus on a\n \n new major crustal-scale structure and its subsidiary faults\n \n , which were identified during the regional magnetotelluric (\"MT\") survey and the Z-Tipper axis airborne electromagnetic (\"ZTEM\") survey, conducted in 2022-2023. These structures, previously poorly recognized, are considered favorable for copper-nickel mineralization. The 2025 program will consist of an airborne HeliTEM® time-domain electromagnetic (\"TDEM\") survey.\n \n\n\n Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n The regional MT survey completed in 2022 identified a new major crustal-scale structure in a poorly explored area, which is considered favorable for copper-nickel mineralization.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Several lake-bottom copper-nickel anomalies detected following a 1,383-sample survey conducted in July 2023.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n A helicopter-borne Z-Tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey totaling approximately 8,900 linear kilometers conducted in July 2023 identified several new conductive features.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n New Cu-Ni-Co mineralized intrusions discovered through prospecting in 2024.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Regional airborne time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey (HeliTEM®) totaling approximately 6,600 linear kilometers, to be completed in June 2025.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n New Cu-Ni-Co showings and occurrences identified from 2022 to 2024\n \n\n\n The Copper-Nickel Exploration Alliance with BHP is primarily targeting mafic troctolite/olivine gabbro intrusive rocks similar to those at Voisey's Bay and the Nain, but which have been the ...
