VANCOUVER, Dec. 30 /CNW/ - Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK) (the "Company" or "Lakeland") is pleased to announce that it
has executed a letter of intent to earn a 100% interest in the Midas
Gold Property located near Wawa, Ontario.


About the Midas Property:


The Midas Gold Property (the "Property") is road accessible and consists
of 5 unpatented mining claims encompassing 43 claim units (688
hectares) located in the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt, Sault Ste. Marie
Mining Division. The Property covers two gold showings, one with
visible gold reported. Recent prospecting has returned gold
concentrations from grab sampling up to 14.3 g/t in the southeast of
the property and 0.86 g/t approximately 200 meters away to the west.
Both anomalous areas are proximal to distinct IP (induced polarization)
chargeability trends defined by surveying carried out in 1987. A strong
correlation between the anomalous gold concentrations and ground
geophysical anomalies is apparent and the Property has yet to be
drilled. The gold values were returned from quartz-pyrite stringers in
carbonate and silica altered mafic volcanic flows. This type of
mineralization is similar to that at the nearby Island Gold Mine-Mill
Complex operated by Richmont Mines Inc. ("Richmont"). The Island Gold
Mine commenced commercial production in October 2007 and Richmont's
objective is to produce 45,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold from the mine
in 2010.


Lakeland is assembling crews to begin line cutting and detailed IP
surveying in early January, followed by a first phase diamond drilling
program.


"The Midas Gold Property is an exciting project to add to the Lakeland
portfolio in these early days of value creation. The recent
prospecting program carried out on the Property demonstrates the
potential for a new discovery in a relatively underexplored area of the
Wawa mining camp," stated Jonathan Armes, President of Lakeland
Resources Inc.


Pursuant to the terms of the proposed option agreement, Lakeland can
earn an undivided 100% interest in the property (subject to any
underlying royalties) by making cash payments totalling $95,000,
issuing 450,000 common shares, and incurring exploration expenditures
of at least $125,000 over a 4 year period.
