(“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD), in partnership with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (“RTEC”), is pleased to announce the results of the 2025 drilling campaign for lithium on the Galinée project. The Galinée project is located approximately 5 kilometres east of the Adina lithium deposit held by Winsome Resources (“Winsome”) and is subject to an option agreement signed with RTEC in June 2023 (see press release by Midland dated June 14, 2023) and amended in April 2024 (see press release by Midland dated April 23, 2024). Highlights: A total of twenty-three (23) additional drill holes completed in 2025: 1.14% Li2O over 30.59 metres, including 1.77% Li2O over 18.39 metres (TLIB0051);0.53% Li2O over 22.90 metres, including 1.09% Li2O over 6.10 metres (TLIB0044);1.08% Li2O over 17.10 metres (TLIB0034); Identification of new cesium mineralization in 2024-2025 drill holes: 9.15% Cs2O over 6.40 metres (TLIB0006);1.89% Cs2O over 12.10 metres (TLIB0044); Identification of new gold mineralization: 8.8 g/t Au over 1.03 metres (TLIB0049);3.3 g/t Au over 0.68 metres (TLIB0049); High resolution (low level) drone magnetics covering the project is completed;RTEC paid the remaining option agreement cash payments for a total of $487,500. Galinée 2025 Drilling Program The 2025 drilling program on Galinée consisted of fourteen (14) diamond drill holes and nine (9) reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes totalling 4,105.09 metres, out of which 1,078.60 metres were RC drilling. All assay results have been received and the best lithium results are summarized in the table below.
