TORONTO, CANADA--(June 24, 2011) - Midlands Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:MEX) (OTCQX:MDLXF) ("Midlands" or the "Company") announces today that it received a letter today from Sian Goldfields Limited, a significant partner of the Company in the Sian Gold Project on behalf of itself and on behalf of Akroma Gold Company, another significant partner of the Company in Ghana.

The letter states:

"It has just come to the attention of the Board of Akroma Gold Company, through a public source, that a hostile takeover which would involve major material changes to the composition of Midlands Minerals Corporation has been proposed by a dissident group of Midlands shareholders. We also understand that the proposed new Board of Directors is made up of people unknown to EITHER Akroma Gold Company or to Sian Goldfields Limited, which is a significant partner in the Sian Gold Project.

It is important we bring to your notice that Sian Goldfields or Akroma Gold company will not accept any material changes of this nature without prior consultation with both companies. As you are already aware, there exists a special relationship between Akroma Gold and Sian Goldfields which is veiled in the joint venture agreement over mineral exploration in Ghana, especially the Sian Project. It is worth mentioning that we have every confidence and trust in the current management with whom we have had a good relationship over the past 5 years.

We wish to give notice to Midlands that should the hostile takeover occur on June 28, 2011, Sian Goldfields Limited intends to exercise its rights under Ghanaian law. We view this hostile takeover as a breach of trust and a clear demonstration of lack of respect for local partners, and lack of social responsibility.

Our understanding is that the new owners intend to raise majority of their financing using merits of the Sian project in Ghana. Please be advised that any proposed financing by the new entity in Midlands must not be based on the merits of the Sian Gold Project, as we intend to distance ourselves from any of their activities. Indeed, Sian Goldfields will utilize all legal remedies available to it under Ghanaian law to prevent the takeover of our gold property.

Yours truly,

Ben Kufuor, Managing Director

SIAN GOLDFIELDS LIMITED

The Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and the Companys relationship with its partners in Ghana to adjourn the annual and special meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 28th at 11:00 a.m. (EDT). The Company will announce by way of press release the date of the adjourned meeting after it has considered the impact of the letter and, to the extent able to do so, spoken to its partners in Ghana.
