Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to report the
beginning of an important exploration program on its 100% owned James Bay
Eleonore Gold project located in James Bay, Quebec. This program includes ground
geophysics and mechanical stripping on its Eleonore Centre property.


The Eleonore project encompasses the Eleonore Centre and West properties and is
located approximately 30 kilometres southwest from and in a geological
environment similar to Goldcorp Inc.'s Eleonore deposit. This world-class gold
deposit contains 3.15 million ounces of measured and indicated gold resources at
an average grade of 11.92 grams per tonne, and 6.25 million ounces of inferred
gold resources at an average grade of 12.93 grams per tonne (Source: Goldcorp
press release February 17, 2010). 


Prospecting conducted by Midland from 2009 to 2012 on the Eleonore Centre
property highlighted the presence of several highly prospective gold showings
with values up to 13.60 g/t Au on selected grab samples. The 2012 prospecting
program was also successful in discovering the Golden Gun South showing,
consisting in a quartz-tourmaline pyrite bearing stockwork occurring in a
metasediment which returned values up to 3.30 g/t Au. This new showing is
located 220 metres south the Golden Gun showing (13.60 g/t Au). The 2011 soil
geochemistry survey, in which 272 samples were collected across the eastern part
of the Eleonore Centre property, delineated a series of As-Cu-Sb anomalies
clustered along a north-south-trending axis. Finally, a series of parallel
northeast trending AeroTEM II conductors were outlined by the 2010 airborne
geophysical survey which targeted sulfide bearing Eleonore-type sediments on the
northern part of the Eleonore Centre property. Some of these conductors coincide
with uncovered gold-bearing disseminated to semi-massive sulfides zones
identified by Midland. Several EM anomalies still remain untested and
unexplained. 


The ground geophysical induced polarisation ("IP") survey will cover an area
located in the north eastern part of the Eleonore Centre property where several
gold showings were uncovered by Midland (Golden Gun and Golden Gun South
showings). The 42.5 kilometres IP survey will focus on identifying sulphide rich
targets for further follow-up during the summer exploration program. Also, an
excavator was recently mobilized on the property to complete important trenches,
including but not restricted to the Golden Gun South showing area.
