(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to provide an update on the third phase of drilling at its Shot Rock Gold Project (\"Shot Rock\") in\n \n Nova Scotia\n \n and progress on the geophysical survey at Root & Cellar (\"Root & Cellar\" or the \"Property\") in\n \n Newfoundland\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Update on Shot Rock\n \n \n \n \n To date, eight diamond drill holes, 20SR-17 through 20SR-24, have been completed in the Phase 3 drilling program (see Figure 1), totalling just over 3,400 metres. The first four drill-holes were located at the base of the hill in the Highway Zone and although visually prospective quartz veins were intersected (Figure 2a), these were only weakly anomalous in gold. The four drill-holes drilled from the top of the hill intersected abundant crustiform-colloform banded quartz-adularia-pyrite veins (Figure\n \n 2b\n \n -2c) but were only moderately anomalous in gold with a high of 1.8 g/t Au over 0.8 metres in hole 21SR-21. Twenty-three other samples from these four drill-holes assayed greater than 0.1 g/t Au. A table of assays can be found on the Companies website.\n \n \n \n \"The complexity of the Highway Zone is proving challenging and I think the next phase of drilling at Shot Rock will likely focus on the Middle Zone, which appears to be more linear and where the higher surface grades are found. However, our priority now is to implement a diamond drill program at Root & Cellar in\n \n Newfoundland\n \n as soon as possible: the ground IP and resistivity geophysical survey at Root & Cellar is nearly compl...
