Northern Shield Resources Inc. (TSXV:NRN) announced that the Company is evaluating several initiatives to unlock value at the Company's 100% owned Idefix Ni-Cu-PGE Property ("Idefix or the "Property) in northern Quebec. The initiatives being considered include an option or joint venture, various divestiture models (subject to a retained NSR) and exploring the Property on its own. "Idefix presents an exciting opportunity.

There are very few intrusions in North America where one can trace sulphide PGE mineralization for 5 kilometres and over widths of up to 60 metres. The drilling in 2013 targeted high-grade reef-type PGE mineralization but additional disseminated mineralization sits above the PGE reef. The concept of a large-tonnage disseminated deposit has been somewhat overlooked and the emphasis should now be on seeing if pockets and zones of slightly higher concentrations of disseminated PGE mineralization exist" said by Ian Bliss, President and Chief Executive officer.
