The program is planned to consist of 5- to 8 drill-holes with a focus on the Highway Zone and 1 or 2 drill-holes planned for the Middle Zone.\nNorthern Shield and prospector Patrick Bellefontaine discovered LSE gold mineralization in an outcrop at Shot Rock in the fall of 2018.

Since then the Company and its consultants have diligently outlined four epithermal gold systems of which the Highway Zone has a substantial foot-print with gold-bearing quartz veins (0.025 to 2.5 g/t Au) being found over an area measuring approximately 300 x 600 metres. Importantly, the Company identified outcrops which are believed to represe...
