TORONTO, CANADA: Wednesday, November 10th, 2010: Midlands Minerals Corporation ("Midlands" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from five consecutive diamond holes drilled after September 15, 2010 on the northern extensions of the Sian gold deposit have confirmed the down dip extension and indicate a possible strike length extension of 240 metres, bringing the Sian mineralised structure to 1.2 kilometres.

Four of the five holes, MEDD-10 30, 31, 32, and 33, which were designed to test the down dip extension, show an extension of the mineralised structure at depth within a consistent geological setting and style of mineralization. Hole MEDD-34A, which was drilled 170 metres to the northeast of the preceding hole MEDD-33, gave an intercept of 15 metres grading 1.15 g/t. Hole number 34A also connects to a preceding hole number MEDD-10-21, which gave 12 metres grading 1.60 g/t, indicating potential for continuity of the strike length.

Highlights of recent gold intercepts include:

"The holes were testing continuity of the Sian gold deposit into the northern extensions, and the assays confirm the extension to the northeast and at depth, with geological features consistent with previous intersections. These mineralised intercepts are consistent with interpreted and/or proven gold bearing structures, in the gold bearing zones along the Sian 16 kilometre soil gold anomaly corridor," said Wilson Baaku, BSc, Midlandss Exploration Manager in Ghana.

The recent interim resource estimate announced by the Company in a news release dated October 19, 2010, took into account assays received up until September 15, 2010. The results announced in this news release are from holes drilled after September 15, 2010, and have the potential to increase the Sian resource. These holes represent some of the few remaining components of the first part of the drilling program, which was focusing on targets in and around the Sian (Esaase) open pit.

Below is a summary of five recent diamond drill holes number 30 to 34A, drilled after September 15, September 2010:

Summary Table of Gold Drill Intercepts (0.5 g/t Au cut-off )

Core samples are generally taken at 1-metre intervals, with exceptions varying from 0.3 to 1.5 metres due to the particular rock type. Sampling is done utilizing a core saw to split the core in two parts, one half to the laboratory and keeping the other half as reference core. All core drill samples are logged and sampled at the property field core shack facilities by a competent team of geologists. All samples were sent to SGS Laboratory in Tarkwa, Ghana, where they were assayed using standard 50-gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish. QA/QC programs are in place using blanks and external standard samples.

Intercepts shown above were calculated using a minimum of a 0.5 g/t cut-off at the beginning and end of the intercept and allowing for no more than three consecutive samples (3m) of less than 0.5 g/t Au. All holes were drilled perpendicular to the deposit trend. The holes were inclined to intersect at a specific vertical depth. The dip of the deposit varies between 70 and 80 degrees to the southeast.

Together with the contiguous Praso property, Midlands controls 160 square kilometres of a prime gold exploration district delineated by a 16 kilometre corridor with large soil gold anomalies providing excellent potential for the discovery of several gold deposits on the property.

ABOUT MIDLANDS MINERALS
Midlands is a growth oriented and value based gold exploration company operating in Ghana and Tanzania, two stable countries with a history of gold mining. Midlands top priority project is the fully permitted Sian gold project in Ghana. The Sian property contains Esaase and Ampeha, two previously producing open pit mines with a resource with significant growth potential. Midlands contiguous Kwahu Praso project, which was once part of Sian, contains extensions of the Esaase and Ampeha trends. Sian and Praso are just 30 kilometres northeast of Newmont Minings +8.7 million ounce Akyem gold deposit.

Midlands second priority project is the highly prospective Kaniago gold project, which is located on the Asankrangwa Gold Belt and is contiguous to two past open pit gold producers - Abore to the north and Obotan to the south.

Midlands also holds highly prospective licences for gold and diamonds in the Lake Victoria Goldfields in Tanzania, including its advanced Itilima Gold Project, which lies within the Geita-Bulyanhulu-Sekenke Trend, which is host to over 40 million ounces in gold reserves.

The Company has a highly qualified management and technical team with broad African experience and extensive experience in the countries in which the Company operates. For more information on the Company, please visit Midlands website at
