Midas Gold Commences US$10.5 million Exploration Program at its Golden Meadows Project

Midas Gold Corp. (TSX:MAX) reports it has started exploration at its Golden Meadows project.

The press release is quoted as saying,

The drilling will primarily target extensions and expansions to the Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine gold deposits, which contain significant sulphide gold mineral resources, as reported in news releases dated February 22 and April 20, 2011, as well as looking to better define the potential for by-product antimony, silver and tungsten, all of which were produced historically from these deposits.  Additional drilling will evaluate the potential for expansion of the West End mineral resources (also reported on February 22, 2011), and on testing some of the numerous exploration targets identified through the compilation of more than 80 years of exploration and production data recovered from numerous historic operators.
