Northern Shield Resources Inc. announced that it has identified what it interprets to be sub-crop of a silicified and pyritic unit that represents the three boulders containing visible gold ("VG"), previously found at the Root & Cellar Gold-Copper Project. 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 highly anomalous tellurium (Te).

The new mineralization believed to be sub-crop is located approximately 100 metres up-ice from the three VG-bearing boulders and at the intersection of north-south trending structures and the contact of an east-west trending magnetic unit. The rocks show strong silicification and pyritization subsequently brecciated and cut by a later stage of pyrite-bearing vuggy quartz veins. Recent work has also revealed and pinpointed several more north- trending structures throughout the Property, but a higher concentration of these structures is noted passing through the central portion of the Conquest Zone.
