Northern Shield Resources Inc. provide at update on the 500 metre diamond drilling program at Root & Cellar. Root & Cellar is located on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. The Company 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).

Four drill holes (23RC-15 to 18) totalling 282 metres have been completed or are in-progress; the holes are located in the southern Conquest Zone. These holes have all intersected intervals of brecciated silica-quartz-pyrite and/or marcasite and related alteration including zones of intensely brecciated and rounded quartz-pyrite-marcasite fragments recemented by a second phase of silica, pyrite and clay minerals. These breccia zones, termed oatmeal breccias by the Company, have only been observed in drill-holes 23RC-16 and 17 which intersected the main, north-trending structural feature which correlates well to the principal IP target below a depth of about 50 metres.

A large aggregate of visible gold was noted in drill hole 23RC-16 (Figure 2a) associated with bladed marcasite. Visible gold was also noted in a boulder, or broken bedrock, at the top of drill hole 23RC-18. Ian Bliss, Northern Shield President and CEO To date, the Company has completed 2,791 metres of diamond drilling in 18 drill holes (see Company news releases dated December 15, 2021 and February 24, 2022.
