MIDLANDS EXTENDS SOIL SURVEY ON PRASO
TO BORDER WITH NEWMONT MINING – GHANA
• Praso North survey to be extended to the Newmont border
• Results to provide drill ready targets on Praso North


TORONTO, CANADA: Monday, November 30th, 2009: Midlands Minerals Corporation (“Midlands” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that in preparation for drilling, a follow-up MMI soil survey will commence on Praso North on December 1, 2009. This survey will cover the northeastern part of Kwahu Praso, covering an area right up to the border with NewmontMining’s Nkokoo property which is contiguous to Praso North.

Sian currently has an indicated gold resource of 2.6 million tonnes grading at 2.3 g/t and an inferred resource of 2.7 million tonnes grading at 2.4 g/t, and has significant exploration upside potential. The Company’s objective is to demonstrate the potential size of the Sian deposit by drilling on the contiguous Kwahu Praso property to the south, and to the north of the Sian deposit. The MMI soil survey will be on a grid with line spacing at 400 metres and sampling stations at 40 metre intervals. The lines will be placed between a previous soil grid which was done at 400 metres with sampling stations at 50 metre intervals. A tighter MMI infill soil survey will follow on Praso North, and that will be done at 100 metre line spacing with sampling stations at 20 metre intervals.

A total of 1,550 MMI samples will be collected and sent to SGS Laboratories in Toronto for MMI analysis. The Company will use the same MMI field and assay procedures as those used on earlier MMI surveys on Praso North.
“This tight grid should give us a large number of samples, and it should also give us drill ready targets and clusters of high ratio MMI gold sites,” said Pierre Lalande, P.Geo and Midlands’ Senior Geologist.

The objective of the infill program is to further define the mineralized trend while at the same time extending the tighter grid eastward to the border with Newmont Mining.
