(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce significant advancements from the Shot Rock Property (the \"Property\") in Nova Scotia. Shot Rock is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization through Northern Shield's wholly-owned subsidiary, Seabourne Resources Inc., which can earn up to an 80% interest in the Property.\n\n \n \n\n \nLarge, well-banded low sulphidation, epithermal quartz veins (Photo A), some up to 45 centimetres thick, have been found in outcrop (Photo B) within the Highway Zone. The larger veins trend generally east-west and have a sub-vertical dip. Intensive stockwork veining and breccias (Photo C) have also been found in outcrop. Dozens of similarly composed (Photos E, F and G) angular boulders (up to 1 metre) have been uncovered in the area, some exhibiting multiple phases of veining, stockwork and brecciation (Photo D). These new outcrops are located approximately 350 metres (across strike) from the outcrop of stockwork veining that assayed up to 0.95 g/t Au and is 700-1500 metres (along strike) from much smaller boulders, collected along a nearby stream that assayed up to 3.3 g/t Au (see Press Release October 18, 2018). Further large angular boulders were found up-slope from the last outcrop suggesting the width of epithermal system could be up to 650 metres. \nAlso of potential significance is the discovery of quartz veins (Photos H, I, and J) of a different genre than the ones mentioned above. These quartz veins generally do not exhibit colloform/crustiform banding but contain brecciated fragments of various hosts rocks with fine pyrite along the contacts of the fragments, near the margins of the vein itself and sometimes disseminated within the host rocks. Injection breccias are also noted and consist of fine-grained gr...
