Mr. Bliss has over 20 years experience in the mineral exploration industry having studied geology at the University of New Brunswick.
From 1995 to 2000, Mr. Bliss was an independent consulting geologist responsible for exploration projects for Nuna-Minerals A/S, in Nuuk, Greenland and, in 2000, for Crew Development in Norway. In Greenland, he worked in some of the most remote and rugged terrain using a model driven approach to efficiently explore large tracts of land despite short explorations seasons.
Mr. Bliss implemented a similar approach at Northern Shield to generate nickel projects that subsequently resulted in partnerships and investments with major mining companies including Impala, South 32, Teck. It was under his guidance that Northern Shield became known around the world as a leader in grass roots exploration for Nickel, Copper and the Platinum Group Elements. It was his understanding of exploration models that led to Northern Shield acquiring a unique epithermal gold project here in the Burin Peninsula they call Root & Cellar.
Mr. Bliss has served as President of Northern Shield since its inception in 1999.

Speaker 2: We initiate our own projects Speaker 2: alongside Speaker 2: prospectors in underexplored regions that have the correct geological additions that support the notion of a giant and high-grade ore deposit. Speaker 2: Of course, everyone wants to find a large ore deposit, but you must make sure that the geology supports Speaker 2: that notion. Speaker 2: That approach Speaker 2: has led us to root and cellar. Speaker 2: While many view Greenfield exploration as a risk, we see it very much as an opportunity, and that's an oppo...
