[{"type":"text","content":" MONTRÉAL, Aug. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to report that exploration work has resumed on its Mythril and Mythril Regional projects (100% Midland), located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The summer 2020 program includes a lake sediment survey and a prospecting and reconnaissance campaign. The prospecting campaign will take place in August, over a period of 3 weeks, and will target newly defined lake sediment anomalies, as well as copper-gold-molybdenum and gold occurrences and boulder fields discovered in 2019 on the two projects. Lake sediment survey conducted in June 2020 A high-density lake sediment survey totalling 190 samples was conducted last June on the Corvette claim block, located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Cu-Au-Mo occurrences on the Mythril project. The survey covered the entire claim block, where new Cu-Au-Mo showings and boulders were discovered in September 2019 (see press release by Midland dated October 31, 2019). Survey samples have been analyzed using portable XRF technology (Reflex Vanta) to obtain preliminary results as quickly as possible in order to follow-up on potential anomalies in August. In the west part of the Corvette block, in 2019, five grab samples from outcrops scattered over an area of approximately 30 metres graded, on average, 0.65% Mo, 0.1% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 6.0 g/t Ag, with best results at 1.79% Mo. One grab sample from a subcrop located nearby also graded 3.84 g/t Au and 0.45% Mo. Mineralization on the Corvette claim block occurs as stockworks of quartz veinlets and molybdenite and chalcopyrite-filled fractures in a tonalite. The mineralization is interpreted as a porphyry-type molybdenum-copper-gold system. Again in 2019, a metre-scale tonalite boulder with arsenopyrite mineralization graded 3.47 g/t Au and 1.1 g/t Au in grab samples. The source of this boulder remains unknown. This high-potential area has seen very little previous exploration. Prospecting and reconnaissance in August 2020 Follow-up prospecting will be conducted on the Tilly South block of the Mythril Regional project. In 2019, a new Cu-Au-Mo showing was discovered in the northeast part of the claim block (Tornado showing). The latter is located approximately 45 kilometres northeast of Cu-Au-Mo showings identified on the Mythril project. ...
