NRN Northern Shield Resources Inc

OTTAWA, ON, April 19, 2023 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that the grab rock samples collected from several target areas at Root & Cellar ("Root & Cellar" or the "Project") have returned anomalous to significant gold, silver, copper and tellurium grades. Root & Cellar is located on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. Northern Shield can earn up to a 100% interest in the Project, which is being explored for epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-copper type mineralization, both associated with tellurium (Te).  

The three main target areas sampled were Braxton Bradley, Conquest and Creston Copper. A grab sample collected from sub crop at Braxton Bradley assayed 1.04 % Cu, 0.38 g/t Au, 42.6 g/t Ag and 20 g/t Te. Previous samples collected from Braxton Bradley were never assayed for tellurium. This result confirms the widespread nature of tellurium at Root & Cellar.

A sample from a trenching program conducted in February in the Conquest Zone and containing visible gold assayed 6.0 g/t Au and 10 g/t Te. Other gold anomalous grab samples up to 1.2 g/t Au were collected from two other trenches excavated 50 metres west and 100 metres east of the above noted sample.

In addition, two samples collected from blasted material from two different quarries in the Creston Copper Zone assayed 8.5% Cu, 60 g/t Ag and 60 g/t Te (and 100 ppm Se) and 0.76% Cu, 3.4 g/t Ag, and 20 g/t Te.

"We are very happy with the early season results and the extension of the tellurium mineralization into the Braxton Bradley Zone along with further excellent grades of gold at Conquest and copper at Creston. Field crews are back on the Project, ground-truthing the preliminary gold targets generated from the recently competed Induced Polarization geophysical survey and, an area where the interpreted copper porphyry-type mineralization may come nearer to surface."

Samples were analyzed by ALS Global in Vancouver, BC, for Au by Fire Assay and multi-elements by four acid digestion and ICP-AES. All standards and duplicates by ALS Global meet targeted values.

Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company known as a leader in generating high-quality exploration targets that views greenfield exploration as an opportunity. An opportunity to find a tier 1 asset, near surface, and at relatively low cost. It implements a model driven approach in exploration to reduce any risk associated with early-stage projects for ourselves, our shareholders, and the environment. It is this approach that led to the discovery of an alkaline driven gold-silver-tellurium-porphyry copper system at its Root & Cellar Project in Newfoundland.
