Midland identifie plusieurs anomalies de cuivre dans les sédiments de fonds de lacs dans le cadre de son nouveau levé à haute résolution sur le projet Lac Bernard

Exploration Midland Inc. has reported the final results of its 2025 high-resolution lake sediment survey conducted on the Lac Bernard project located in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee Baie-James and Caniapiscau regions. The company identified eight significant copper anomalies exceeding 250 ppm, with the highest value reaching 533 ppm Cu (0.05% Cu), along with seventeen additional samples ranging between 130-250 ppm Cu. These results substantially exceed the regional median of approximately 26 ppm Cu calculated from 1,161 regional lake sediment samples.

The high-density survey successfully confirmed and reproduced anomalies initially identified through Quebec government regional data, while providing enhanced precision on their locations. The copper anomalies are distributed across three distinct sectors within the project area, with several samples also showing anomalous gold and molybdenum values. The Lac Bernard project, wholly owned by Midland, comprises 271 exclusive exploration rights covering 138 square kilometers, including 54 recently added claims.

Midland has planned an immediate follow-up exploration program scheduled to commence in June, consisting of 326 soil samples and one week of prospecting to investigate these anomalies further. Similar work is also planned for the adjacent Viau project, which showed zinc, molybdenum, and gold anomalies. The company emphasizes that while these lake sediment anomalies are encouraging, they represent secondary environment indicators and do not necessarily confirm the presence of mineralized zones.

This development represents a significant step forward for Midland's Quebec-focused exploration strategy, particularly given the project's proximity to the company's Caniapisc Au project and its location within geologically favorable terrain characterized by magnetic complexity. The systematic approach of using government data to identify targets, followed by detailed high-resolution surveys and planned ground-truthing, demonstrates a cost-effective exploration methodology that could be applied across Midland's broader project portfolio in Quebec's mineral-rich regions.
