Midland Discovers New Platinum and Palladium Showings and Commences a Drilling Program on the Pallas Project in the Labrador Trough - Seite 2

The second phase of this 2016 exploration program consists in a 1,200 metres drilling campaign consisting of six drill holes planned on the Ceres property. The drill holes will test at different depths the Apophis, Ida and Hektor showings and is planned to commence mid-October 2016.

All of these new PGE + Au occurrences (note that true widths cannot be determined from the information available) remain open in all directions and share many similarities, in terms of geological settings and characteristics, with known "reef"-type deposits in the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Pallas project counts 631 claims covering a surface area of more than 286 square kilometres in the Labrador Trough. Midland and JOGMEC are thrilled to commence this drilling program on this important project.
