Midland controls several significant zinc occurrences and prospects in the metamorphosed Middle Proterozoic marbles of the Grenville Supergroup, in the Gatineau area.

The interest for this area is that those zinc occurrences share many similarities with significant zinc deposits also hosted in Grenville metamorphosed limestone. The most prolific zinc deposits of this type are those of the Balmat Edwards district in the United States located only 60 kilometers south of the Gatineau project area. This mining district is known to have produced more than 43 million tonnes at near 10% zinc including other commodities.

Midland is confident that the Gatineau area has an excellent potential to host new high grade, large tonnage Zn Pb Sedex deposits as in the Balmat Edwards District. A previous VTEM survey completed by Midland in 2008 and designed to characterize 2 known massive sulfide deposits in the Gatineau area, detected several untested conductors directly associated with the Bouchette and the Leitch massive sulfide zinc deposits.

Results indicate that the new survey has detected conductors on several lines with some of them having a good magnetic association. Ground geophysical follow up, trenching and subsequent diamond drilling during the summer of 2010 is planned over the best selected conductors.
