(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that more visible gold has been identified at Root & Cellar (\"Root & Cellar\" or the \"Project\") located on the\n \n Burin Peninsula\n \n in southeastern\n \n Newfoundland\n \n . 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.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Visible gold was seen in a large angular boulder weighing approximately 15 kilograms and found 10 metres from another boulder that was recently reported to also contain visible gold and assayed 111.5 g/t Au (see Company news release dated\n \n September 7, 2022\n \n ). Gold was noted at seven spots in the new sample, including three clusters of fine-grained particles of visible gold (see Figures 1a-c). The host to the gold is a strongly silicified mafic volcanic rock with multiple episodes of quartz veining, brecciation and pyritization.\n \n \n Prospecting 20 metres from the boulder located a sub-crop consisting of strongly silicified mafic volcanic rock with moderate amounts of disseminated pyrite. Although the small patch of sub-crop that was exposed contains less quartz than the visible gold samples, it is clearly the same host rock and may represent the wall rock to the veins. Importantly, the trend of the structure hosting the mineralization in the outcrop was noted to be approximately north-south. This trend is consistent with the reinterpretation of the IP geophysical data made subsequent to the initial drilling program in 2021, which highlighted north-south trending a...
