Midland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: MD) has announced the final results from its 2025 high-resolution lake bottom survey on the Lac Bernard project, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay and Caniapiscau regions of Quebec. The project, wholly owned by Midland, comprises 271 exclusive exploration rights covering 138 square kilometres, including 54 newly added claims.
Survey Highlights
The 2025 lake bottom sampling survey identified eight anomalies with copper concentrations exceeding 250 ppm, reaching a maximum of 533 ppm Cu (0.05% Cu). Three distinct clusters of copper anomalies were delineated on the project. Additionally, seventeen samples returned values between 130 and 250 ppm Cu. For context, the regional median copper value from 1,161 regional lake bottom samples is approximately 26 ppm Cu. Gold and molybdenum anomalies were also detected in many samples.
Follow-Up Exploration
Midland plans to initiate a soil sampling program (326 samples) and a week of prospecting in June to further investigate these anomalies. Prospecting will also occur on the adjacent Viau project, where zinc, molybdenum, and gold anomalies were identified.
Methodology
The high-density lake sediment survey targeted areas with strong polymetallic anomalies (Cu, Mo, Zn, W) from previous regional Quebec government surveys. The 2025 survey successfully confirmed and refined these anomalies, enhancing their significance and localization.
Sample Results Table
Key samples include: sample 16758029048212759 with 533 ppm Cu, 23.2 ppm Mo; sample 16758010747823359 with 370.9 ppm Cu, 37.2 ppm Mo; and sample 16758028548246959 with 397.8 ppm Cu, 12.8 ppm Mo. Coordinates are in UTM Zone 19 (NAD83).
Midland remains committed to advancing exploration on its Quebec properties, leveraging innovative survey techniques to identify high-potential targets.
