TSXv: LK FSE: 6LL

VANCOUVER, Oct. 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK) (FSE: 6LL) (the "Company" or "Lakeland") is pleased to announce that its joint-venture partner New Dimension Resources Ltd. ("New Dimension") has informed the Company that permits have been received and a minimum 1,800-metre diamond drilling program will commence shortly at the Midas Gold Property (the "Property"), located approximately 50 kilometers northeast of the town of Wawa in north central Ontario.

The drilling program is being funded 100% by New Dimension whom has an option to earn up to a 70% interest in the Property from Lakeland by spending $1.2 million in exploration expenditures, issuing 1.5 million shares of New Dimension and paying $100,000 to Lakeland on or before December 31, 2016. Lakeland will then be free carried with its remaining 30% interest until New Dimension completes an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Property.

Midas Property - Background:

In keeping with the Company's focus on uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin, Lakeland optioned a 70% interest in the Midas Gold Property to New Dimension in September, 2013.

The Midas Property consists of 12 staked claims (139 units) covering 2,112 hectares within the Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division. The Property is road accessible and lies 20 kilometres southeast of Richmont Mines' Island Gold Mine complex and Argonaut Gold's Magino Gold Project (recently acquired for approximately ~$350 M from Prodigy Gold).

Sporadic exploration has been carried out in the Midas Property area, beginning in the 1940's, with most work completed in the late 1970's to 1990. Past exploration has included surface sampling, trenching airborne and ground geophysics and diamond drilling.

During the winter of 2011, Lakeland carried out ground magnetics and induced polarization in the southwestern area of the Property. To follow up this program Lakeland completed sixteen (16) diamond drill holes totaling 2,353 metres. The drilling was designed to test induced polarization anomalies and surface gold showings. Drilling partially defined two gold bearing zones (zones M-11 and M-16) with fourteen (14) of the holes reporting gold mineralization. Highlights of the drilling are summarized in the following table:

Midas Gold Property - Significant Drill Hole Intervals

• All results shown are over core lengths. True widths are not known;
• Drill core was industry standards NQ in size. All split or sawn core samples from Phase 1 drilling were submitted to Swastika Laboratories of Swastika, Ontario for analysis; samples from Phase II drilling were submitted to Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, Ontario. All gold assaying was performed using a 30g standard fire assay with an AA and /or gravimetric finish.

The drilling identified a broad gold-bearing structure, which can be traced for over 500 metres in strike length. Work to date indicates that the gold system lies along the southern limb of a broad anticlinal fold structure and is associated with widespread silicification and carbonatization. Gold mineralization remains open on strike and down dip.

Results from the drilling program will be reported jointly by the partners as they become available during the program.
