Midland Expands Its Gold Position on La Peltrie Southeast of Detour Gold High Grade Mineralization

27.05.2015  |  Marketwired

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 27, 2015) - Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce the acquisition, by map designation, of 100% interest in a new land position with strong gold potential located south of the regional Lower Detour Fault. This new claim block consists of 148 map-designated cells and significantly increases the size of the La Peltrie property, located about 25 kilometres southeast of the Lower Detour area held by Detour Gold Corp. ("Detour Gold").

Last year, Detour Gold announced a series of significant drilling results from the Lower Detour area, located about 6 kilometres south of the Detour Lake mine, currently in operation and where mineral reserves stand at 15.0 Moz Au. Drill intersections reported from the Lower Detour area show significant gold grades reaching up to 11.82 g/t Au over 32.40 metres and 12.74 g/t Au over 28.0 metres (see press release by Detour Gold dated June 2, 2014). Detour Gold is starting a 30,000 metres drilling program ($5M) over that new high grade gold zone (see press release by Detour Gold April 28, 2015).

The La Peltrie property now consists of 330 claims totalling about 180 square kilometres; it covers, over more than 25 kilometres, a series of inferred subsidiary faults trending NW-SE to the south of the regional Lower Detour Fault. The new claim block also encompasses two historical copper showings which graded in drill holes: 1.70% Cu over 0.50 metre and 0.52% Cu over 0.50 metre in quartz veins (Source: SIGEOM, NTS sheet 32E14; GM47631). In addition, historical drill intersections dating from the 1960s and located about 800 metres east of the property limits yielded gold values grading up to 3.0 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 4.0 g/t Au over 0.30 metre, in felsic breccias with pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization (Source: SIGEOM, NTS sheet 32E14; GM 22497).

This property is largely underlain by calc-alkaline mafic to felsic volcanic rocks of the Brouillan Group and tholeiitic mafic rocks of the Fenelon-Brouillan Group. It is located about 25 kilometres northwest of the former Selbaie mine, which historically produced 56.5 Mt grading 1.9% Zn, 0.9% Cu, 38.0 g/t Ag and 0.6 g/t Au. The eastern part of the La Peltrie property is located about 1.3 kilometre southwest of the B26 and East Zone gold-copper deposits held by SOQUEM INC. ("SOQUEM") which host respectively historical resources of 600,000 metric tonnes grading 2.9 g/t Au and 2.8% Cu and 750,000 metric tonnes grading 2.0% Cu and 0.4 g/t Au (Source: SOQUEM website). The west part of the property is underlain by tholeiitic mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Enjalran-Bapst Group, which are intruded by a series of N-S-trending diabase dykes. The granodioritic to dioritic syntectonic Carheil Pluton lies in the central part of the property. A summer field program is currently in preparation and will include line cutting, ground geophysics, mapping and prospection.
