[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to issue an update on its latest exploration activities across Quebec. Over the last few months, Midland and its partners have been very active in the field with a variety of drilling, stripping, geochemical sampling and prospecting campaigns. Several new mineral occurrences were discovered, and a number of new exploration targets were identified on various projects. Two drilling campaigns were completed on the Casault and Gaudet-Fenelon JV projects during the summer, for a total of nearly 10,000 metres of drilling. On Casault, a new gold-bearing zone was recently identified in hole CAS-21-123 (see Midland press release dated October 21, 2021). Overall, more than 7,000 samples were sent to the laboratory for assaying and assay results are currently pending. Highlights: New Au-bearing zone on Casault returned 6.85 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in hole CAS-21-123 13 drill holes (5,295 metres) completed on the Casault project under option by Wallbridge 14 drill holes (4,483 metres) completed on the Gaudet-Fenelon JV project with Probe Two (2) new high-grade boulders discovered east of Mythril; 10.25 g/t Au, 8.0 g/t Ag and 7.99 g/t Au, 166 g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, 0.07% Mo Prospecting programs completed in Nunavik under our Alliances with BHP and SOQUEM Stripping and channel sampling completed on the Golden Nest showing on Lewis More than 7,000 assay results pending Abitibi region Casault project (100% Midland – Under option by Wallbridge Mining) A drilling program consisting of thirteen (13) drill holes totalling 5,295 metres was recently completed to test a series of NW-SE-trending structures interpreted from the magnetic survey. These targets are located a few kilometres north of the Sunday Lake Fault and west of the Martiniere and Bug Lake deposits. Hole CAS-21-123, the first drill hole of the program, was testing a prominent NW-SE oriented structure interpreted from airborne magnetics and intersected 6.85 g/t Au over 2.00 metres from 254.50 to 256.50 metres. This new intersection is associated with a mineralized zone consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and electrum, a gold-silver mineral phase, within deformed and heavily carbonate-altered host rocks. This NW-SE structural orientation remains untested over more than 3 kilometre...
