Midland and Donner Begin Their First Drilling Program on the Valmond Gold Property

Midland Exploration Inc. ("Midland") (TSX VENTURE:MD), in partnership with
Donner Metals Ltd. ("Donner"), is pleased to initiate their first diamond
drilling program on the Valmond gold property (the "Property"). The Property,
currently wholly owned by Midland, consists of 111 claims covering a surface
area of about 62 square kilometres and is located about 50 kilometres west of
the town of Matagami, in Abitibi, Quebec. 


The Property covers a segment of more than 15 kilometres along the Bapst fault,
an important gold-bearing structure trending NW-SE that hosts several historical
occurrences with drill intercepts grading 2.3 g/t Au over 4.57 metres and 5.22
g/t Au over 1.55 metre. This structure has seen very little exploration in the
past and the main showing known to date has been traced over a strike length of
more than 300 metres. This gold showing is characterized by an extensive
hydrothermal alteration zone, more than 70 metres wide, and remains open beyond
200 metres vertical depth, where the deepest historical drill hole yielded a
grade of 3.77 g/t Au over 1.50 metre. 


In December 2013, a geophysical program was completed on the Property in
partnership with Donner. This work, which included an induced polarization (IP)
survey totalling 48.1 kilometres as well as a helicopter-borne electromagnetic
VTEM survey totalling about 900 line kilometres, successfully identified several
new high-priority targets located near the Bapst fault and along the strike
extensions of historical gold showings located on the Property (see Midland
press release dated January 16, 2014).


A drilling program totalling approximately 1,850 metres has been designed to
test significant IP and VTEM targets identified in 2013. This program will also
test the main showing with two drill holes at vertical depths of 275 and 350
metres, i.e., about 100 metres below historical drill hole S86-9 which graded
3.77 g/t Au over 1.50 metre (Source: MRN SIGEOM NTS sheet 32E09; GM46724). The
new geophysical targets to be drill-tested are characterized either by higher
chargeability values, lower resistivity values, or a combination of the two.
They also generally represent isolated anomalies that have never been
drill-tested and are located in a complex structural setting where E-W-trending
structures commonly intersect.


Midland also announces that an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report (the
"Report"), has been submitted to Donner and filed on SEDAR on the Property. The
Report, dated March 12, 2014, was prepared according to NI 43-101 guidelines and
authored by Camille St-Hilaire, P.Geo.


Conditions of exploration agreement

Donner may earn a 50% interest in the Property in consideration of exploration
expenditures totalling $2,500,000, including a firm commitment of $300,000
during the first year of the agreement, and cash payments totalling $250,000
over a period of four years. Midland will be the project operator for the
duration of this option agreement.
