Midland Exploration (TSX-V:MD) has commenced an exploration program at its Lewis Gold Project in Québec, Canada, under an option agreement with project operator Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX).
The 2026 program covers 154 exclusive exploration rights across approximately 86km² and includes systematic geological mapping across 76km to evaluate the project’s potential for orogenic and magmatic-hydrothermal gold mineralisation.
The campaign will also revisit the Red Giant and Golden Nest prospects.
Midland is also planning a second phase in September, which will include a till sampling survey to evaluate the deformation corridor.
The Lewis Project sits along a regional flexure near the Guercheville-Opawica deformation zone, 60km northwest of the Nelligan deposit.
Nelligan hosts indicated resources of 102.8 million tonnes (Mt) @ 0.85 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) for 3.12Moz and inferred resources of 106.4Mt @ 0.96g/t Au for 5.16Moz.
Midland entered the option agreement with Barrick in November 2025, adding to its existing partnerships across Québec with major mining companies including Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, BHP Canada, Centerra Gold (TSX:CG), and Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM).
Midland Exploration is a mineral explorer focused on discovering gold and critical metals in Québec.
