Midland Commences a Follow Up Program on Its New Discovery of Gold-Zinc-Silver Mineralization at The Caniapisc Au Project, James Bay

Core Insights - Midland Exploration Inc. has initiated a follow-up exploration program on its Caniapisc Au project, focusing on gold, zinc, and silver discoveries in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay and Caniapiscau regions [3][4] - The company has also designated two new projects, Lac Bernard and Viau, in the same area, expanding its exploration footprint [3][5] Exploration Program - The September exploration program will include geological mapping, prospecting, and a soil sampling program aimed at unsampled areas and tighter spacing around identified Au and Zn soil anomalies [4][8] - A magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey covering 1,827 kilometers is planned to assist in target generation for the Caniapisc Au project [4][8] Recent Discoveries - The summer 2025 exploration program successfully identified several mineralized boulders with anomalous gold, with eight out of 159 selected grab samples yielding values above 1.00 g/t Au, including a maximum of 14.3 g/t Au [10] - Distinct polymetallic metal assemblages were identified, including Au-Zn-Ag-Pb and Au-Cu, indicating potential sources for gold mineralization [10] New Project Designations - The Lac Bernard project, located 30 kilometers south of Caniapisc Au, covers several Au, Cu, Mo, and Zn lake bottom anomalies, with historical reconnaissance work identifying five anomalous gold boulders [5][10] - The Viau project, located 16 kilometers west of Caniapisc Au, covers Zn and Mo lake bottom anomalies on a magnetic high, suggesting the presence of fluorite granite [5][10] Geological Context - The Caniapisc Au project is situated within the Ashuanipi Subprovince, characterized by a volcanosedimentary belt with potential for Cu-Zn-Ag-Au and porphyry Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization [11] - Historical till sampling surveys have identified gold anomalies within the project area, indicating further exploration potential [11]
