Toronto, Jan. 13, 2014 - Shield Gold Inc. (TSXV: SHG) ("Shield" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") previously announced on December 5, 2013. The initial intent was to raise up to $440,000, but gross proceeds of $475,999.96 were ultimately realized in the Offering which, upon completion, consisted of 3,758,833 Flow-Through Units (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.12 per FT Unit and 250,000 non-flow-through Units (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit.

Each (non-flow-through) Unit is composed of one common share in the capital of the Corporation and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each FT Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.18 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
