About Midlands Minerals:

Midlands Minerals is focused on developing a portfolio of high quality gold
exploration projects in Ghana and Tanzania, countries with exceptional histories
of gold production and home to some of the most profitable gold mines in Africa.
Midland's flagship gold property is the Sian project, site of a past producing
open pit gold mine located in the Ashanti gold belt. Sian has NI 43-101
compliant Indicated gold resources of 2.6 million tonnes grading 2.33 gpt gold
(192,400 ounces) and Inferred gold resources of 2.7 million tonnes grading 2.35
gpt gold (203,350 ounces). Extensions to these resources are open along strike
and at depth, highlighting the potential to grow the gold resource at Sian.
Midlands' highly prospective Kaniago gold project is located in Ghana's
Asankrangwa gold belt and contiguous to two past open pit gold producers: Abore
to the north and Obotan to the south. Recent drilling and exploration has
produced highly encouraging results, demonstrating the gold resource potential
of the project.


Midlands also holds highly prospective licences for gold and diamonds in two
regions in Tanzania. The first is found in the Lake Victoria Goldfields region
and includes its advanced Itilima Gold Project, which lies within the
Geita-Bulyanhulu-Sekenke Trend, which hosts over 40 million ounces in gold
reserves. The second region lies within the Kilindi-Handeni Trend and includes
the New Kilindi-Handeni prospecting licences.
