Northern Shield Resources Inc. provided an update on exploration at the Root & Cellar Gold- Tellurium-Silver-Copper Project located near Marystown on the Burin Peninsula, in southeastern Newfoundland. The Company can earn a 100% interest in the Project, which is being explored for epithermal gold-tellurium-silver and porphyry copper mineralization. Visible gold has been identified in at least eight grab samples from a trenching program in the Conquest Zone, with up to 20 flecks of gold noted under the microscope from a single sample.

Visible gold is largely hosted in quartz-adularia veins in newly exposed parts of the outcrop in the southern Conquest Zone.ortherly trending fractures crosscut the outcrop that lies within an east-trending structural zone. Both structural orientations are associated with pyrite mineralization and quartz veining. This trenched outcrop overlies a near surface, easterly trending, IP anomaly and the southern tip of a prominent northerly trending IP anomaly modelled at approximately 50 metres depth.

Intense silicification, and multiple phases of brecciation, pyritization and quartz veins are common characteristics with some veins with classic colloform-crustiform banding indicative of low sulphidation epithermal systems. Based on the ice direction and significant differences in textures and vein compositions, the trenched Conquest outcrop is not the source of three large boulders with visible gold previously found approximately 350 meters to the east of the trenched location. The source for those previously discovered boulders has yet to be found and will be targeted by further trenching and the up-coming drilling program.
