Midland Begins a PGE Exploration Program in the Labrador Trough With Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation

Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce,
after signing of a new option agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National
Corporation ("JOGMEC"), to begin a new exploration program on its Pallas
Platinum Group Elements ("PGE") Project in the Labrador Trough ("Trough"). The
first phase of the program, which has just been completed, comprised a
helicopter-borne magnetic survey over its 4 claim blocks forming the Pallas
Project.


The Pallas Project comprises 477 claims covering more than 210 square kilometres
of mineral rights in the Labrador Trough some 80 kilometres west of Kuujjuak,
Quebec. These new claims cover a large folded pluri-kilometric ultramafic-mafic
complex known, in this section of the Trough, for its strong exploration
potential for 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 thick as those
very large Reef-type deposits as the Bushveld in South Africa and the Great Dyke
in Zimbabwe by instance. 


Last summer, Midland has completed a short reconnaissance program on the
project. In only a week of prospecting, several new PGE + Au bearing outcrops
were discovered (more than 10) with values ranging from 1.0 to 3.9 g/t PGE + Au.
Overall, the project counts currently more than 20 mineralized showings
returning more than 1.0 g/t PGE + Au. Each of those showings, associated with
disseminated sulfides, were found in vari-textured gabbro (gabbro with textures
and crystals varying in sizes) over several of meter in thickness within layered
gabbro. 


In order to help tracing these mineralized gabbroic horizons, a detail
heli-borne magnetic survey has just been completed. With up to 3,220
line-kilometers flown, the survey lines were 125 m apart, while the probe was in
average 30 m above the ground. Currently, the data are been processed while the
results will be discussed in a next press release. Finally, the summer 2014
exploration program, which will include channel sampling the best PGE showings
combined with prospecting, is currently in preparation.  


Exploration Agreement Terms 

JOGMEC has the option to acquire 50% interest in the Pallas project prior to
March 31, 2016 by funding $2,000,000 in expenditures. Midland will be operator
as long as it will hold an interest equal to or higher than 50% in the project.
