Midland Announces the Start of a Helicopter-Borne VTEM Electromagnetic Survey

Midland Exploration Inc. (TSXV:MD) reports it has started an extensive helicopter-borne VTEM-type electromagnetic survey on its Casault Gold property.

The press release is quoted as saying,

The new VTEM survey, totalling about 400 line kilometres, is mainly designed to detect new gold- bearing mineralized zones across this extensive property which has seen very little exploration to date. This type of survey is known for its exceptional depth penetration and provides a more accurate definition of targets than conventional systems. Recent successes obtained with this type of survey on Midland’s Laflamme Property, in partnership with North American Palladium Limited, further confirm the powerful effectiveness of this system, able to detect anomalies and mineralized zones that remained undetected by other means, in areas with thick overburden (see press release dated June 15, 2011). At Detour Lake, discovery of the main zone (Detour Anomaly 38) is directly attributed to the presence of an airborne electromagnetic anomaly detected during an Input survey in 1974.
