Midlands Minerals Retains Agoracom to Provide Investor Relations, Social Network and Google Search Engine Program

Midlands Minerals Corporation ("Midlands" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MEX) is pleased to announce it has retained the services of AGORACOM Investor Relations ("AGORACOM") ( http://www.agoracom.com ) to provide online investor relations services, a Web 2.0 social network for current shareholders and Tier-1 awareness through the world's biggest websites for the purpose of attracting new shareholders.

Midlands' major efforts are focused on the Sian gold project in Ghana, where, after only 12,400 meters of drilling, the indicated resource has increased by 92% up from 100,000 ounces to 192,400 ounces (2,568,000 tonnes at 2.33 g/t Au), and the inferred resource is up from 100,000 ounces to 203,350 ounces (2,694,000 tonnes at 2.35 g/t Au), an increase of 103.4% . Further drilling is currently underway on Sian, a fully permitted past open pit gold producer located on the Ashanti Gold Belt just 30 kilometres northeast of Newmont Mining's 8.7 million ounce Akyem gold deposit.

Midlands Minerals President and CEO, Kim Harris stated, "I believe the time has now come to significantly increase our communications with both existing shareholders and the massive online small-cap community of investors that are searching for their next great investment. I strongly encourage our shareholders to begin taking advantage of our new online IR system, which demonstrates we are a fully accessible organization with a great story to tell."

"With continuity of economic grades and widths, and a 30 year mining lease, infrastructure, roads, water, and power on Sian, what remains is to increase the tonnage and move the project to a feasibility study by the end of 2008 and gold production by 2010", said Kim Harris.
