# Midland and SOQUEM Report New Assay Results Up to 27.60% Cu and 0.88&\#xA0;g/t Au on the Malaco Mountain Copper-Gold-Rare Earth Element Zone in the Labrador Trough Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/midland-and-soquem-report-new-assay-results-up-to-27-60-cu-and-0-88-xa0-g-t-au-o--cbe3ac8a-612b-4d04-9858-42d9400046b5 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/MD/news/6229412163701505/midland-and-soquem-report-new-assay-results-up-to-27-60-cu-and-0-88-xa0-g-t-au-o Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-11-04T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Midland Exploration Inc. - Ticker: MD - Exchange: TSX - Region: Labrador Trough - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Rare earth elements, Cobalt, Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-21 22:54:18 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Midland Exploration Inc. reported new grab sample assay results from the Malaco Mountain zone in the Labrador Trough, featuring copper grades up to 27.60% and gold up to 0.88 g/t. The samples also show significant concentrations of rare earth elements, cobalt, and silver, confirming the multi-commodity potential of the outcrop. Reasoning: New rock sampling results confirm high-grade copper \(up to 27.60%\) and gold \(0.88 g/t\) at Malaco Mountain, extending the known mineralized footprint. - Positive factor: High grade copper intercepts - Positive factor: Presence of multiple associated commodities \(Au, REE, Co, Ag\) - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: Grab samples are selective and may not be representative Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions use of standards and blanks for every 20 samples and analysis by Actlabs. Evidence · text > including the use of standards and blanks for every 20 samples **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The results confirm the potential of a previously discovered zone \(June 2025\). Evidence · text > new assay results for the Malaco Mountain copper, gold, and rare earth elements \(REE\) zone discovered in June 2025 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
