Midland announces launch of lithium drilling program on Galinee project

Midland Exploration, in partnership with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, announced the start of a maiden drilling program on the Galinee project, approximately 8 kilometres east of the Adina lithium deposit held by Winsome Resources. The Galinee project is currently wholly owned by Midland and is subject to an option agreement signed with RTEC in June 2023. Highlights: Maiden 5.8M CAD drilling program targeting the Iceberg Showing to start on the Galinee project; Iceberg Showing consists if spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes identified over at least 600 metres strike length with high-grade grab samples grading up to 7.2 % Li2O; An additional 1.3M CAD exploration program on the 10 optioned projects, including Komo and Shire. A 5.8M CAD maiden diamond drilling program is planned to begin early April on the Iceberg spodumene showing. This program aims to define the grade and geometry of the Iceberg spodumene pegmatites, identified in 2023 by drilling along several fences. In addition to drilling, a summer surface exploration program is also planned on the Galinee project over targets generated by the 2023 high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey used to identify structures that could host spodumene pegmatites. This summer exploration work is part of a vast 1.3M CAD reconnaissance exploration program planned to cover the ten projects of the option agreement.
