(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce the results of the first phase of till sampling from  the Shot Rock Gold Property (\"Shot Rock\" or the \"Property\") in Nova Scotia which is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization. Northern Shield can earn up to an 80% interest in Shot Rock.\n\n \n \n\n \nThe first phase covered the Windmill and Middle Zones, and the southern portion of the Highway Zone. The sampling was conducted on a coarse grid with samples collected at 100 m intervals along profiles spaced at approximately 200 meters. Significantly, the results show a gold +/- silver anomalous trend approximately 1.3 kilometre long that coincides with a N-S structural and magnetic feature in the Windmill Zone. Very little prospecting has been undertaken in the area. Several other gold anomalous areas, that generally follow an ESE trend, have also been defined by the till sample results. This includes an area south of the Middle Zone and south of the Highway Zone (Dark Side). Again, due to relatively poor exposure, very little rock sampling has occurred in these areas. However, this southern till trend is supported by strongly gold anomalous stream sediment sample previously reported (August 8, 2018).\nThe first phase of the till sampling program was curtailed by Hurricane Dorian last month hence the Highway Zone and Crystal Hill were not covered. Based on the very encouraging results, the sampling will resume and follow-up prospecting will be conducted in the anomalous areas.\n\"Since we can calibrate the importance of these till assays based on the results spatially associated with the known occurrences, the results from this program strongly suggest that there are more gold-bearing zones to be found\" explains Northern Shield President and CEO, Ian Bliss. \"Specifically, the till res...
