Meeting Overview The meeting provided updates on the Root & Cellar project and other related projects in the Avalon Terrain of Eastern Newfoundland. Key topics included an airborne magnetic survey over Cape St. Mary's properties, developments at Root & Cellar, and exploration activities at the Fortune property. Key Discussion Points - Overview of the Root & Cellar project and its significance in the Avalon Terrain. - Airborne magnetic survey results for Cape St. Mary's properties, indicating potential for porphyry copper and nickel deposits. - New interpretations of gold potential at the Conquest site within Root & Cellar. - Updates on exploration activities at the Fortune property, focusing on porphyry copper and epithermal gold. Decisions Made - No explicit decisions recorded. Action Items & Next Steps - [Unassigned] : Further analysis of airborne survey data to confirm potential porphyry copper and nickel targets at Cape St. Mary's. - [Unassigned] : Continue exploration and asses...
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 1: Thank you everyone for taking the time today or this evening, depending on where you are, to take in an update on the Root & Cellar project and on our other projects in the Avalon Terrain of Eastern Newfoundland. Speaker 1: As Romuald said, it's not a complete presentation, It's really just meant as an update of what has happened and what is happening Speaker 1: on our properties Speaker 1: in Eastern Newfoundland. Speaker 1: I do have to bring your statement to this, Speaker 1: or your attention to this forward-looking statement advisory, as this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Speaker 1: So what we're going to look at today is really sort of 4 little Speaker 1: updates. 1 of them, the 1st 1 we'll look at is what we call an airborne magnetic survey over CSM or Cape St. Mary's properties. Speaker 1: That'll be followed by an update on what's happening Speaker 1: at Root & Cellar, particularly the Crest and Copper target. A little bit more about Speaker 1: the Speaker 1: new interpretation Speaker 1: of the Gold Speaker 1: at Conquest at Root & Cellar. Speaker 1: Then a very brief update on some work that we've been doing at the Fortune property, which is 1 of the new claim groups, again, for porphyry, Copper and epithermal Gold located on the Buren, Speaker 1: about 25km Speaker 1: north of Rutan Speaker 1: Cellar. Speaker 1: So Firstly, as mentioned, Speaker 1: an update on CSM, Cape St. Mary's. 1st of all, before we get into Speaker 1: the details of that project, Speaker 1: how did we get to Cape St. Mary's? Speaker 1: As things were developing at Root & Sellader, we were looking for other porphyry potential. Wherever you get 1 of these porphyry epithermal systems, you usually get more. So obviously, 1 of them is Fortune, which we'l...
