Midland Starts 3,500m Drilling at Willbob Gold Project
Read, Watch or Listen
Montreal: Midland Exploration Inc. began a 24‑hole, 3,500‑metre drilling and prospecting campaign on the Willbob gold project in the Labrador Trough on July 8, 2026. Midland, listed TSX-V: MD, will target Ants, Ferricrete, Pump Pad Ridge, Canyon and Didgeridoo areas, two of which have never been drill-tested. The program follows Midland's April 22, 2025 Kan acquisition and prior 2025 channel results on the Didgeridoo zone. This month and into August 2026 the company plans to complete the 3,500‑metre program, with assays expected after laboratory processing and QA/QC. A July 3, 2025 channel returned 2.30 g/t Au over 8.95 m, including 3.56 g/t over 3.15 m; results will inform follow‑up drilling, resource assessment and any further field programs while regulatory and permitting compliance continues under Quebec and federal rules.
