Northern Shield to Acquire Two New Epithermal Discoveries in Nova Scotia; Drill Permitting Underway at Shot Rock Gold Silver Property

18.10.2019  |  CNW

OTTAWA, Oct. 18, 2019 - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that Nova Scotian prospector, Mr Patrick Bellefontaine (the "Prospector"), has discovered two new vein systems in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, (the "Properties") that are being explored for low-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver. Northern Shield, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Seabourne Resources, has signed an Option Agreement with the Prospector that gives the Company the right to acquire up to an 80% interest in both properties "Properties" subject to a 30-day due diligence period.

Northern Shield has become a leading explorer of low-sulphidation epithermal (LSE) gold-silver systems in Atlantic Canada and now holds a portfolio of six such projects including three in Nova Scotia, one in Newfoundland (that hosts multiple systems), and two in the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec that appears to be of epithermal affinity.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, which is subject to TSX-V approval, Northern Shield can earn a 50% interest in the Properties by incurring a total of $600,000 in exploration expenditures within two years. The Option Agreement also requires cash payments totaling $80,000 and share issuances totaling 1,500,000 Company shares to the Prospector over three installments during the initial two-year period. Over an additional two-year period, Northern Shield can increase its interest to 80% by incurring a further $1.4M in expenditures, making an additional $105,000 in cash payments and issuing an additional 1,500,000 Company shares. The Prospector will retain a 1% net smelter returns royalty if the Company exercises the option to acquire the 50% interest.

The Properties consists of 180 claims covering a total of 2,817 hectares.

Samples of vein material collected from outcrop by the Prospector clearly exhibit textures consistent with LSE gold systems as well as evidence of changing fluid conditions, which promotes the precipitation of any gold in the system. Assays are pending from these, and other samples that are being collected on the Properties.

"With our growing understanding of Shot Rock over the past year, we have maintained that the potential for district scale LSE gold systems in Nova Scotia exists and is significant," explains Northern Shield President and CEO, Ian Bliss. "These new discoveries by Patrick confirm those opportunities. It was strategically important for Northern Shield to try and identify and acquire more LSE gold systems prior to drilling at Shot Rock. Patrick has systematically sifted through available databases, applied knowledge from Shot Rock, identified LSE targets and through persistent follow-up, proven their existence on the ground. Quite a remarkable, and successful, modern-day prospecting story."

Drill permit application for a 2,000-2,500 metre drill program consisting of 5-7 drill-holes is underway at Shot Rock. The program will focus on the Highway Zone.
