(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the Shot Rock Gold Property (the \"Property\") in Nova Scotia, which is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization. Northern Shield can earn up to an 80% interest in the Property.\n\n \n \n\n \nA high resolution airborne magnetic survey is anticipated to commence this week, weather permitting. The survey will be flown at 50 metre spaced lines and cover approximately 50 square kilometres of the Highway Zone. The survey will be completed by Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. \nNorthern Shield has retained Mr. Simon Griffiths as a technical advisor to Northern Shield regarding gold exploration. Mr. Griffiths is an economic geologist with 28 years of experience in mineral exploration including as Chief Geologist for Barrick Exploration – South America, Chief Geochemist for Barrick Exploration – Global and various positions over 13 years, with Rio Tinto.\nPartial and temporary ablation of the snowpack in certain areas of the Property has allowed for further samples to be collected by prospector Mr. Patrick Bellefontaine. Forty-eight rock samples have been sent to the laboratory for analysis. Much of these samples are of colloform banded quartz vein material and breccias and are all consistent with textures from known epithermal gold occurrences. Some exhibit classic \"ginguro\" bands containing extremely fine-grained sulphides and other metallic minerals. Photos of several of these samples are provided below.\nFurther detailed analysis of mineralogy, geochemistry and fluid inclusions are also underway on previously collected samples. This work will largely be conducted through Saint Mary's University in Halifax. \n\"We have always felt it is very important to squeeze as much data and information out o...
