(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that trenching has uncovered outcrop (Figure 1) containing visible gold (VG) in the Conquest Zone at the Root & Cellar Property (\"Root & Cellar\" or the \"Property\"), located on the\n \n Burin Peninsula\n \n in southeastern Newfoundland. The Property is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization and associated porphyry copper systems and includes 5 gold zones over a 6-kilometre strike-length. Tellurium (Te), a critical metal, is associated with four of the showings and also with some of the copper mineralization.\n \n\n Visible gold (Figure 2a, b) was found 25 metres west of the Conquest Discovery trench (where visible gold has previously been identified) and immediately behind the collar of drill hole 23RC-21, completed last year which also intersected visible gold. Four patches of fine-grained VG were noted in a single sample (Figure\n \n 2b\n \n ) from the outcrop in quartz-hematite veinlets (Figure 1) associated with intense chlorite alteration, coarse pyrite and fine marcasite with the veins cutting a strongly silicified/brecciated unit with abundant marcasite. Although this new occurrence is proximal to drill hole 23RC-21, where VG was previously noted, the mineralization styles are different suggesting multiple mineralization phases. Colloform-crustiform, banded, quartz veins (Figure 3) were also noted in the outcrop. Assays are pending.\n \n\n\n \"All datasets, and recent studies, conclude that this area is the upper most portion of an up-flow zone of an epithermal system, which includes remnant sinter material...
