(\n \n “Midland”\n \n ) (\n \n TSX-V: MD)\n \n , in partnership with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (“\n \n RTEC\n \n ”), is pleased to announce the start of a second drilling campaign for lithium on the Galinée project. The Galinée project is located approximately 5 kilometers east of the Adina lithium deposit held by Winsome Resources (“Winsome”), is wholly owned by Midland, and is subject to an option agreement signed with RTEC in June 2023 (\n \n see press release by Midland dated June 14, 2023\n \n ) and amended in April 2024 (\n \n see press release by Midland dated April 23, 2024)\n \n .\n \n\n\n\n Highlights\n \n\n\n :\n \n\n\n\n\n\n 5.2M CAD\n \n\n\n\n approved for the first phase of drilling of 2025.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n This second drilling program to start in March with RC drilling followed by the addition of a diamond drill in April.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Drilling to (1) follow up on some of the best intersections from 2024 which remain open and to be tested further and (2) step-out throughout the property to test structural targets.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n High resolution (low level) drone magnetics will be flown throughout the property in March.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Galinée 2024 Drilling Program\n \n\n\n The 2024 drilling program on Galinée consisted of twenty-one (21) diamond drill holes and seven (7) reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes totalling 6,284.86 metres, out of which 819.92 metres were reverse circulation drilling. The objectives were to test the 2023 Iceberg Showing area with diamond drilling while using reverse circulation drilling to test conceptual, prospecting and geophysical targets. The drilling campaign mainly focused on the Iceberg showing and also the White Stripes, Surge, Snow Fox and White Lightning showings (\n \n see press release by Midland dated October 24, 2024\n \n ). Surface geological mapping combined with drilling has identified a series of at least seven (7), meter to decameter-scale, spodumene pegmatite bodies. Drill results from holes TLIB0014, TLIB0018, TLIB0022, TLIB0023, and TLIB0026 suggest extension of the Iceberg showing to th...
