Midland Exploration Inc. provided an update on its gold exploration programs underway in the James Bay region. New gold occurrences were discovered during the summer 2019 field programs on the Galinée, Elrond and Helm’s Deep projects. In addition, Midland would like to announce it is actively seeking new partnerships to launch new exploration campaigns for gold in the James Bay region. Galinée: The Elsa gold zone on the Galinée project was discovered by Midland in 2018. This zone yielded grades up to 14.85 g/t Au in grab samples in June 2018. Manual trenching and channel sampling conducted in September 2018 returned the following results: 3.26 g/t Au over 2.4 metres, including 7.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metre; 2.62 g/t Au over 0.8 metre; 1.36 g/t Au over 0.6 metre; and 1.91 g/t Au over 0.7 metre (press release dated May 23, 2019; the true thickness of mineralized zones intersected by channel samples has not been determined). These channels cover a lateral extent of 12 metres. Gold mineralization at Elsa is hosted in a dextral shear zone with numerous quartz-tourmaline-pyrite±arsenopyrite±chalcopyrite veins accompanied by strong sericite and massive tourmaline alteration in the wall rocks. Visible gold was observed in many locations in shear-hosted quartz veins. The gold mineralization appears to be orogenic. An induced polarization survey conducted in the spring of 2019 clearly identified a strong 500-metre-long chargeability anomaly directly coincident with the Elsa gold showing. Another strong 600-metre-long chargeability anomaly was also defined southeast of Elsa. The Elsa zone is a high-priority drilling target. In the west part of the Galinée project, a new gold showing was discovered in June 2019. A shear zone with mm-scale quartz veinlets and trace pyrite graded 0.96 g/t Au (grab sample; unpublished results). Follow-up work was carried out on this gold occurrence and the results will be received sometime this fall. Midland is seeking partners to advance this high-potential project with drill-ready targets.
