Northern Shield Triples Size of Huckleberry Property and Provides Exploration Update; Exercise of Warrants Nets $100,000

11.05.2016  |  CNW

OTTAWA, May 11, 2016 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that 2,000,000 warrants issued as part of the Private Placement announced on April 7th and April 12th have been exercised at a price of $0.05 for proceeds of $100,000.  The Common Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants are still subject to a hold period ending four months from the date of original issuance. 

Northern Shield is also pleased to announce that it has substantially increased the size of its Huckleberry Cu-Ni-PGE property from 57 claims to 159. Northern Shield will undertake a field visit to the Huckleberry property at the end of May immediately followed by the commencement of exploration at the beginning of June. The exploration program as currently planned will include 2-3 weeks of outcrop sampling at Huckleberry followed by an airborne EM survey over Huckleberry and the recently acquired Séquoi property located 10 kilometer east of Huckleberry. The airborne EM survey will be used to guide diamond drilling planned for later on in the year.  Both properties are currently owned 100% by Northern Shield. However, Northern Shield is in the concluding stages of an agreement with a third party interested in an option on one of these properties. Northern Shield will provide further details regarding exploration on these properties this summer and any agreement concluded with such party on these properties in due course and when available.

"We are pleased with the early exercise of some recently issued warrants which shows confidence in our southern Labrador Trough projects," states Northern Shield President and CEO, Ian Bliss. "We are eager to get back on the ground at Huckleberry and to commence the airborne EM surveys over both projects. One must remember that, to date, we have only spent 5 days on the ground sampling at Huckleberry and we are very confident that we can uncover further mineralization with a more extensive program."

Northern Shield discovered significant Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization at Huckleberry in 2015 with 97 samples averaging 1.0% Cu, 0.2% Ni and 0.72 g/t PGE+Au. Huckleberry is being explored as a segregated magmatic deposit whereby the copper has separated from the nickel during cooling. The discovery of a xenolith hosting nickel-bearing semi-massive sulphides suggests that the nickel-rich portion may underlie the copper mineralization. The complexity of the geology and segregated nature of the mineralization makes a strong argument for comparison to known giant ore deposits or a Cu-Ni-PGE camp which partly lead the Company to staking the Séquoi target. Séquoi covers a large multi-lobed magnetic anomaly that Northern Shield interprets to be a flat-lying, saucer-shaped mafic-ultramafic intrusion, perhaps related to Huckleberry and part of the feeder system to the sills of the Labrador Trough. Within this anomaly are small pockets of higher magnetism, some of which coincide with electro-magnetic anomalies identified from a mid-1980s, government sponsored airborne survey. Analysis of the historic lake bottom sediment sample results and glacial history of the area provides for a compelling case to be made that Séquoi lies at the head of a very large and distinct Ni-Cu-PGE dispersion train that dominates the southern Labrador Trough.

The programs at Huckleberry and Séquoi will be overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, P. Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company focused on exploring for platinum group element ("PGE") and nickel-copper-PGE deposits. It is known as a leader in grass roots exploration for Ni-Cu-PGEs and the understanding of magmatic systems as it applies to exploration.
