(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that a grab rock sample recently collected from a zone of disseminated sulphides on its 100% owned Idefix Cu-Ni-PGE Property (\"Idefix\" or the \"Property\") assayed\n \n 1.2% Cu, 0.35% Ni, 9.6 g/t Pd, 2.4 g/t Pt and 0.27 g/t Au\n \n . Ground truthing and verification of VTEM geophysical anomalies identified from a 2016 airborne survey was also undertaken during the very brief visit to the Property.\n \n \n Idefix is located approximately 80 kilometres west of\n \n Kuujjuaq\n \n , Nunavik, northern\n \n Quebec\n \n . The Property covers a 7-kilometre stretch of a gabbronorite sill complex that is primarily being explored for disseminated PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization but also has many recognized features that suggest the presence of high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphide mineralization. The Property was last drilled by the Company in 2013 when reef-type and disseminated PGE sulphide mineralization was intersected over a 5 kilometre strike-length.\n \n \n The grab sample is important as it provides proof-of-concept that higher concentrations of disseminated sulphides are present in the sill and that they can carry higher base-metal and PGE grades.  The grab sample contained approximately 10% sulphides, suggesting that massive sulphides are not required to generate higher base-metal grades. This is the highest base-metal grade reported from the Idefix and the grab sample was collected from the northern portion of the Property, an area which was not the focus of exploration when the Company was last actively exploring in 2012/13.\n \n \n \n \"We revisited our data on Idefix over the last year and it reminded us that it is an exceptional project.  It is unusual to see such continuous PGE minera...
