(\"Northern Shield\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the Shot Rock Gold Property (the \"Property\") in Nova Scotia, which is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization. Northern Shield can earn up to an 80% interest in the Property.\nProspecting has resulted in the discovery of a second epithermal system within the Highway Zone at Shot Rock. Grab samples from boulders, sub-crop and outcrop have identified textures and mineralogy consistent with low sulphidation epithermal gold systems including colloform/crustiform banding, jasperoid and chalcedonic veins, bands and fragments, some of which contain abundant extremely fine-grained pyrite. The new discovery was made approximately 2.5 kilometres west from the initial discovery made late last season but within the same structural corridor. Both systems coincide with N-S trending magnetic features. Cross-cutting WNW trending structures also appear to play an important role. At several other locations within the Shot Rock property, these structures host gold anomalous stream sediment samples and will be investigated further.\nProspecting on a variety of targets is on-going where snow and road conditions allow. More systematic mapping and sampling of the Highway Zone is anticipated to commence in May.\nThe programs are being overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, P. Geo., the Company's Chief Geologist and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. \nNorthern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company focused on generating high-quality exploration programs with experience in many geological terranes.
