(“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to report new results from a prospecting campaign conducted in June 2024 in the Canyon Lake area on its Willbob gold project, wholly owned by Midland. Highlights: Seven (7) rock samples grading more than 1 g/t Au in the Canyon Lake area, including three (3) values above 5 g/t Au: 39.5 g/t Au, 26.5 g/t Au and 9.85 g/t Au. The Canyon mineralized zones now extend over 790 metres along the sheared contact with gabbro and iron formation. Several anomalous gold values in soil samples (10), reaching 431 ppb Au in an unexplored area. This prospecting and soil sampling campaign was conducted in the Canyon Lake area of the Willbob project in June. Follow-up work on showings discovered in July 2019 (see press release dated August 22, 2019) resulted in gold grades reaching up to 39.5 g/t Au (Canyon-3 area). Two new gold-bearing areas are highlighted and as a result, the gold mineralized zones now extend over 787 metres. Several anomalous gold values are observed in soil samples and will require follow-up work. Gold values above 0.100 ppm in rock samples and above 10 ppb in soil samples are listed in the table below.
