We are now being referenced as a benchmark in the emerging Northern Quebec lithium elephant country

MONTREAL, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V : MD) has completed a geological assessment of the excellent lithium potential on its Galinée project, wholly owned by Midland.

Midland’s Galinée project is located approximately 4 kilometres east of the promising Adina lithium new discovery held by Winsome Resources Limited (“Winsome”), who recently announced drill intercepts reaching 1.34% Li₂O over 107.6 metres (see press release by Winsome dated January 6, 2023). Recent drilling results (DDH AD-22-043) by Winsome reported that spodumene bearing pegmatite were intersected about 1.6 kilometres north-east (Adina far east Zone) of the discovery showing and about 1.0 kilometres north-east of previous reported intersections. Drillhole AD-22-043 intersected 17.1 metres of spodumene bearing pegmatite (see press release by Winsome dated January 25, 2023).

This Adina showing is located at the contact between amphibolites of the Trieste Formation to the south and felsic intrusives to the north. This contact is marked by a major structure that most likely controlled the emplacement of pegmatites on the Adina showing. This same highly favourable contact is present on Midland’s Galinée property over more than 7 kilometres and has never been explored for lithium in the past. This strongly suggests that the Galinée project shows excellent potential for lithium exploration.

The Galinée project consists of 54 claims covering a total of 28 square kilometres. Historically, this project was worked for its gold potential and has never been explored for its excellent lithium potential. Midland is currently planning an exploration program that will be launched in the coming weeks.

Global demand for lithium is growing to meet the needs of the electric vehicle industry and in light of the unstable geopolitical context. The Galinée project, wholly owned by Midland, provides an opportunity to potentially help meet this growing demand.
