(TSXV: MMA) (OTCQB: MDNGF) (the \"Company\" or \"Midnight Sun\") is pleased to provide the remaining drill results from holes MTDD047 and MTDD048, and a summary of results from the 2022 drilling campaign on the Mitu Trend, one of four key prospects which comprise the Company's Solwezi Project in Zambia. Initial laboratory results were received shortly after the conclusion of drilling in 2022, however the Company chose to re-assay select drill core in order to confirm laboratory accuracy. SGS Inspection Services Kalulushi, has now completed all assays and the Company is pleased to report that initial results were confirmed, and significant mineralisation was encountered. Copper mineralisation intercepted at Mitu is associated with cobalt, nickel, and anomalous gold. This suite of metals is comparable in mineralization style and grade to those at First Quantum's Sentinel Mine, located approximately 120 kilometres west of Midnight Sun's Solwezi Project.2022 Mitu Drill Highlights Include:MTDD044: 11.50m @ 1.41% copper, 0.11% cobalt, and 0.03% nickel Incl. 4.15m @ 1.29% copper, 0.13% cobalt, and 0.09% nickel; andIncl. 5.80m @ 1.86% copper, 0.07% cobalt, and 0.02% nickelMTDD045: 7.30m @ 0.58% copper, 0.02% cobalt, and 0.02% nickelMTDD047: 26.10m @ 0.32% copper, 0.07% cobalt, and 0.05% nickel MTDD048: 22.25m @ 0.39% copper, 0.01% cobalt, and 0.01% nickel Al Fabbro, Midnight Sun's President & CEO, stated: \"We are very pleased to see that these final results from Mitu are consistent with earlier drilling. Though delays are never ideal, confirming our initial results was a prudent step toward developing a sound technical model and establishing our future plans for this key component of our Solwezi Project. Our 2022 exploration program has accomplished precisely what we had hoped for, which is proof of concept. This new work has revealed more insight into the mineralisation at Mitu, and most exciting for our team is the revelation that the geology at Mitu is consistent with that of First Quantum's Sentinel Mine, located a short distance to the west. We have long believed that there could be multiple large geological sys...
