Midland Exploration Inc. in partnership with Probe Gold Inc. announced that exploration work will resume on the copper-gold-silver-molybdenum (?Cu-Au-Ag-Mo?) discovery made in 2022 on the La Peltrie Option (the ?Property?). This significant mineralized system is located 15 kilometres southeast of Agnico Eagle?s Zone 58N gold deposit and 25 kilometres west of the former Selbaie mine, which produced 56.9 Mt grading 0.87% Cu, 1.85% Zn, 39 g/t Ag, and 0.55 g/t Au (historical production). The Property is currently subject to an option agreement and is explored in partnership with Probe Gold Inc.(?Probe?) since July 2020.

The 4-person crew will mobilize to begin an MMI soil sampling program on La Peltrie, in the immediate vicinity of the Cu-Au-Ag-Mo discovery that graded 0.20% CuEq over 513.5 metres. The program will comprise 1,000 samples collected at a spacing of 50 m and 100 m along sampling lines spaced 200 m to 400 m apart. The soil sampling grid will cover the main Cu discovery zone and will extend northward, to cover the contact with the Carheil intrusive.

The soil sampling grid is designed to achieve detailed geochemical coverage to identify the trend of the Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization. Proper identification of the zone will help prioritize IP anomalies on the grid and northward, potentially leading to higher-grade Cu mineralization. In addition, a service contract was set up with SRK Consulting to perform a structural analysis of the high-resolution aeromagnetic survey conducted in 2020.

The objective is to improve the structural and geological understanding of the Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralized zone, looking at the geometry of the structural fabric, the generations and distribution of fault/shear zones, and the generations of folds. The structural analysis will focus on the Cu-Au-Ag-Mo discovery and its immediate surroundings. Last March, an IP survey totalling 12 lines kilometres was completed on the non-contiguous claims of the La Peltrie Option to the northeast.

The IP survey identified 7 chargeability anomalies, 5 of which are associated with moderately to strongly resistive bodies. Midland and Probe are currently considering the possibility of extending the survey to the north and east, to follow the strongest chargeability and resistivity anomalies.
