[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nOTTAWA, Aug. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. (\"Northern\n Shield\") [TSXV: NRN] and its partner Discovery Harbour Resources Corp.\n (\"Discovery\") [TSXV:DHR] are pleased to announce the results of the\n summer drilling program at Anomaly 'E' within the Wabassi Project,\n located in northwestern Ontario. A down-hole electromagnetic survey was\n also undertaken on the completion of the drill program. Six holes were\n completed for a total of 1,878 meters.\n\n\nThe first hole (13WA-37) was designed to test the near surface\n continuation of previously identified high grade zinc mineralization\n along strike. The remaining five drill-holes holes were completed to\n test the responses received from the in-hole gravity survey completed\n by Abitibi geophysics at Anomaly 'E' (see press release dated May 15,\n 2013).\n\n\nDrilling revealed that only a portion of the subsurface gravity\n anomalies may be attributed to massive sulphide mineralization. Hole\n 13WA-37 did not intersect any significant mineralization but zinc\n mineralization was intersected (2% Zn over 16.9 m) a short distance\n away in hole 13WA-39 (see results below), which successfully tested a\n gravity anomaly. Drill-hole 13WA-42 also intersected significant\n sulfide mineralization coinciding with a gravity anomaly as modeled by\n Abitibi Geophysics. Assay results from these intercepts are reported in\n Table 1. Minor mineralization was observed in drill-hole 13WA-38 and 41, which\n skimmed the outer periphery of the gravity anomaly. Drill hole 13WA-40\n cut underneath the intended gravity anomaly due to drill-hole\n deviation.\n\n\nTable 1\n\n\nHole #\n\n\nfrom\n\n\nto\n\n\nlength (m)*\n\n\nCu (%)\n\n\nZn (%)\n\n\nAg (ppm)\n\n\nAu (ppm)\n\n\n13WA-39\n\n\n76.65\n\n\n93.6\n\n\n16.95\n\n\n0.52\n\n\n1.99\n\n\n16.49\n\n\n0.05\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n78.5\n\n\n81.9\n\n\n3.4\n\n\n0.91\n\n\n3.87\n\n\n25.08\n\n\n0.06\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n85.5\n\n\n86.9\n\n\n1.4\n\n\n0.83\n\n\n1.97\n\n\n25.92\n\n\n0.12\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n90\n\n\n90.25\n\n\n0.25\n\n\n0.07\n\n\n8.02\n\n\n2.64\n\n\n0.04\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n90.25\n\n\n90.65\n\n\n0.4\n\n\n0.11\n\n\n33.9\n\n\n7\n\n\n0.17\n\n\n13WA-42\n\n\n172\n\n\n181.77\n\n\n9.77\n\n\n0.66\n\n\n0.08\n\n\n18.47\n\n\n0.05\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n177\n\n\n180.7\n\n\n3.7\n\n\n1.30\n\n\n0.12\n\n\n32.88\n\n\n0.09\n\n\n13WA-42\n\n\n193\n\n...
