Midland and Donner Identify Several New Drilling Targets on Valmond Following Geophysical Surveys

Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD), in partnership with
Donner Metals Ltd. ("Donner"), is pleased to report that several new
high-priority drilling targets have been outlined on its Valmond gold property
as a result of a recently completed Induced Polarization ("IP") survey. The
Valmond property is currently wholly owned by Midland and consists of 62 claims
covering a surface area of about 35 square kilometres. This property is located
about 50 kilometres west of the town of Matagami, in Abitibi, Quebec. 


The Valmond property covers, over more than 10 kilometres, an important
gold-bearing structure trending NW-SE that hosts several historical occurrences
with drill intercepts grading 2.3 g/t Au over 4.57 metres and 5.22 g/t Au over
1.55 metres. This structure has been explored in the past and the principal
showing known to date has been traced over a strike length of more than 300
metres. This gold showing is characterized by an extensive hydrothermal
alteration zone more than 70 metres wide and remains open below a depth of 200
metres, where the deepest historical drill hole yielded a grade of 3.77 g/t Au
over 1.50 metres. 


A pole-dipole IP survey totalling 48.1 line-kilometres was completed during the
month of December 2013 in the central part of the Valmond property. A detailed
interpretation of the survey results reveals the presence of a strong anomaly
characterized by a sharp drop in resistivity directly caused by the presence of
sulphide mineralization (pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite) on the
principal gold showing. This anomaly extends toward the northwest over a
distance of about 800 metres, whereas toward the southeast IP profiles indicate
that the anomaly is located deeper. Two shallow drill holes are proposed to test
the anomaly at 100 metres vertical depth along the northwest extension of the
principal showing, and one drill hole is proposed to test the southeast plunge
at a vertical depth of about 300 metres, i.e. about 100 metres below historical
drill hole S86-9, which graded 3.77 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (Source: MRN SIGEOM
NTS sheet 32E09; GM46724).


Further east, in an area that has never been drill-tested, four distinct IP axes
characterized by high chargeability values associated with low resistivity
values were detected. These axes are commonly located along magnetic contacts or
near inferred structural intersections. Five additional shallow drill holes are
proposed to test these new targets at about 100 metres vertical depth.


In addition, a property-wide helicopter-borne VTEM-type electromagnetic survey,
totalling 900 line- kilometres, was also completed in December 2013. The survey
results and the detailed interpretation are pending.

Conditions of exploration agreement

Donner may earn a 50% interest in the Valmond property in consideration of
exploration expenditures totalling $2,500,000, including a firm commitment of
$300,000 during the first year of the agreement, and cash payments totalling
$250,000 over a period of four years. Midland will be the project operator for
the duration of the option agreement.
