OTTAWA,
ON, Aug. 16, 2023 /CNW/ - Northern Shield
Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV:
NRN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the
Root & Cellar Gold-Tellurium-Silver-Copper Project ("Root &
Cellar" or the "Project") located on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. The Company can earn a 100%
interest in the Property, which is being explored for epithermal
gold-tellurium-silver and porphyry copper mineralization.
Crews are on site with mechanical trenching and trail
preparation for a small drilling program underway. The
trenching is testing Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical
anomalies in the Conquest Zone and in areas where abundant boulders
containing visible gold have been found. The drilling program
planned for late August or early September will also focus on
near-surface mineralization and IP anomalies in the Conquest Zone.
The program, as currently planned, will consist of
approximately 8 drill holes totalling 500 metres. More details on
the drilling will be provided upon commencement of that
program.
"We are excited to be moving towards another
drilling program at Root & Cellar and early signs from bedrock
exposed from the first few days of trenching and trail preparation
are very encouraging."
