Northern Shield Resources Inc. to provide an update on assays received from the Root & Cellar Gold Project ("Root & Cellar" or the "Project") including indications of a new gold-bearing zone. 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 and porphyry-copper type mineralization.

A cluster of three angular mineralized boulders discovered along the drill trail between the Windfall and Conquest zones assayed between 1.3 and 2.3 g/t Au. A fourth boulder with mineralization was also noted but not assayed. All boulders are located along a trend that is adjacent to the westernmost of at least four parallel, north-south trending IP anomalies.

Except for the westernmost IP anomaly, these IP targets generally do not come to surface and are capped by a layer of largely unmineralized basalt. The westernmost IP anomaly is topographically lower than the others, where erosion has cut down through the basalt exposing portions of the underlying mineralized system which is hosted within rhyolite. The boulders, which appear to be sub-crop, were exposed during the construction of the drill trail where it crosses the IP anomaly.

"This area of new gold mineralization has three important implications: . It reinfoforces interpretation from the Conquest and Windfall Zones that north-south trending struructures and IP anomalies are the principalhost and target for gold mineralization;. It begins to fill a gap and provide a genetic link between gold mineralization seen on surface in the Windfall Zone and that at the Conquest Zone to the south.

These three zones now encompass an area measuring 1,600 x 700 metres.
