Northern Shield Receives Exploration Permits for Root & Cellar Project, Newfoundland
OTTAWA, Jan. 30, 2023 - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has received all exploration permits for which applications were made regarding the next phases of exploration at Root & Cellar ("Root & Cellar" or the "Project"). Root & Cellar is located on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. Northern Shield can earn up to a 100% interest in the Project, which is being explored for epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-copper type mineralization.
The permits cover trenching, ground and airborne geophysics and diamond drilling. Notwithstanding any short-term inclement weather, trenching will commence on some of the targets by mid-February, shortly followed by an Induced Polarization geophysical survey. This IP survey will be run in an east-west direction with the objective of better defining the feeder structures which trend north-south and appear to carry the high-grade gold. This will likely be followed by additional trenching and a diamond drilling program.
"We are very much looking forward to trenching these targets particularly in the vicinity of the visible gold. We believe that these programs will be catalytic for the growth of Root & Cellar"
- Ian Bliss, Northern Shield President and CEO
