MD Midland Exploration Inc

Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce, in
partnership with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") 
beginning field exploration program on the Pallas Platinum Group Elements
("PGE") project in the Labrador Trough ("Trough"). Entering into the second year
of the agreement, this field exploration program will involve prospecting guided
by airborne magnetic targeting, and channel sampling of our best known PGE
occurrences. 


The Pallas Project comprises 479 claims covering more than 210 square kilometres
of mineral rights in the Trough some 80 kilometres west of Kuujjuaq, 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.


Midland has completed a short reconnaissance program late last year. 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 been completed on each of the 4 Midland claim blocks. Currently,
these data are been processed combining high resolution satellite imagery for
target generation. 


Midland is very trilled by this project which demonstrates the great potential
of the region to host significant PGE + Au mineralization. The PGE's prices has
maintained a continuous increase since 2000 due to the growing demand from
emerging countries as Brazil, Russia, India and China which have recently agreed
to control their pollutant emissions that will require abundant PGE to control. 


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.

worldwide to help secure a stable supply of natural resources for Japanese
industry.
