Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to report the
beginning of its exploration activity on its 100% owned James Bay Eleonore Gold
project located in James Bay, Quebec. The first phase of the 2014 exploration
program consists of a helicopter airborne magnetic geophysical survey over the
Eleonore Centre property.


The Eleonore project, which encompasses the Eleonore Centre and West properties,
is constituted of a total of 247 claims covering 128 square kilometres, 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 reserves of 4.03 Moz Au (proven and probable categories),
combined measured and indicated resources of 4.84 Moz Au and inferred resources
estimated at 4.10 Moz Au. (Source: Goldcorp press release dated February 13,
2014). 


Prospecting conducted by Midland from 2009 to 2013 on the Eleonore Centre
property identified the presence of several gold showings associated with
quartz-tourmaline pyrite bearing veinlets occurring in sheared metasediments, as
well as mafic and felsic metavolcanics which returned up to 18.8 g/t Au. These
results strongly suggest that an auriferous hydrothermal system is present on
the property by a strong abundance of quartz-tourmaline veins over a plurimetric
area. In addition, the 2013 ground induced polarisation ("IP") survey identified
many north-south trending IP anomalies and several remain unexplained. The 2011
soil geochemistry survey permitted to delineate 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 and several EM anomalies still remain unexplained.


A high definition airborne magnetic survey covering the Eleonore Centre property
was just completed, including the area covered by the 2013 IP survey. The
results and interpretation of this survey, totalizing 386 linear kilometres, are
pending. Furthermore, preparation for the upcoming 2014 summer exploration
program on the Eleonore Centre property currently underway.
