Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce
acquiring 455 new claims by map designation covering more than 200 square
kilometres in the Labrador Trough ("Trough") some 80 kilometres west of
Kuujjuak, Quebec. These new claims, exclusively owned, cover a large folded
pluri-kilometric ultramafic-mafic complex known, in this section of the Labrador
Trough, for its strong exploration potential for Platinum Group Elements
("PGE"). 


At present, in this sequence of the Trough, numerous PGE enriched Reef-type
mineralized horizons (characterized to be long, wide and narrow deposits) have
been traced over several hundreds of meters, even kilometers, with PGE plus gold
("PGE + Au") often beyond 2-3 grams per tonnes over few metres ("m") thick as
those very large Reef-type deposits as the Bushveld in South Africa and the
Great Dyke in Zimbabwe. By instance, they are the Idefix, Palladin and Lafortune
showings that returned up to 16.2 g/t PGE + Au over 1.0m, 3.5 g/t PGE + Au over
3.0m and 13.4 g/t PGE + Au in grab sample respectively. 


Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd, an important African PGE producer is currently
active in the Trough evaluating new PGE occurrences located directly in the
lateral extension of these last properties acquisition. Midland currently
controls more than 120 kilometres of very prospective stratigraphy from where
already 9 PGE + Au showings are documented (coming from the Quebec Ministere des
Ressources Naturelles et de la Faune SIGEOM database) and returned values
ranging from 0.47 to 2.17 g/t PGE + Au also along several kilometres of
documented mineralized horizons. On Midland Properties, all together, 16 grab
samples are above 0.50 g/t PGE + Au including 6 samples with values above 1.00
g/t PGE + Au.


The PGE have many commercial and industrial applications entering in the
fabrication of flat-screen monitor, fiber glass, surgery instrument or hard
drive by instance, but in a larger portion in the jewel market and even more
importantly, as catalyzer in the car industry to reduce air pollution created by
the exhaust of gasoline engine. 


Midland is very proud to add this very promising precious metal project to its
portfolio. The PGE's prices has maintained a continuous increase since 2000 due
to the growing demand from emerging countries as Brazil, Russia, India and China
which have recently agreed to control their pollutant emissions that will
require abundant PGE to control. 


Midland anticipates to begin exploration fieldwork this summer by conducting an
high resolution magnetic airborne survey and channel sampling on its best PGE
showings combined with detail prospecting to find new showings along
historically poorly explored mineralized horizons.
