(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that a ground geophysics program consisting of Spectral IP (Induced Polarization) and Resistivity has commenced at the Root & Cellar Gold-Silver Project (\"Root & Cellar\" or the \"Project\") in\n \n Newfoundland\n \n .  The Company can earn a 100% interest in the Property which is being explored for epithermal gold-silver mineralization and porphyry copper deposits.\n \n \n The geophysical survey, which is expected to take two weeks to complete, is planned to total 25 line-kilometres and covers the Conquest Zone and recently discovered Windfall Zone. The survey results will be used to guide drill-testing of these two zones later this summer.\n \n \n The Conquest Zone represents the principal gold target at Root & Cellar. Soil sampling has outlined a distinct area measuring 1,500 x\n \n 600 m\n \n of anomalous gold-in-soil, associated with other pathfinder elements such as arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb). Within the Conquest Zone, past surface sampling by Northern Shield and the prospector located gold mineralization (in grab samples assaying 0.1 to 45.5 g/t Au) over an area measuring approximately 630 x 400 metres. Although epithermal in nature, the mineralization appears more akin to the high sulphidation variety, though colloform-crustiform banded veins, more typical of low sulphidation, have also been observed recently at the Conquest Zone. The Windfall Zone was discovered in late 2020, following up on strong gold-in-soil anomalies where twenty-five large angular boulders and one outcrop of sulphide-bearing quartz vein were uncovered...
