Northern Shield Revisits Idefix Ni-Cu-PGE Project in Northern Quebec

27.04.2022  |  CNW

OTTAWA, April 27, 2022 - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") [TSX-V: NRN] is pleased to announce that the Company is evaluating several initiatives to unlock value at the Company's 100% owned Idefix Ni-Cu-PGE Property ("Idefix or the "Property) in northern Quebec. The initiatives being considered include an option or joint venture, various divestiture models (subject to a retained NSR) and exploring the Property on its own.

The Property was last diamond drilled in 2013, intersecting reef-type and disseminated PGE (platinum + palladium) sulphide mineralization. Mineralization is observed on surface and in drill core over a strike length of about 5 kilometres. Grades in the drill core average approximately 0.25 g/t PGE+Au over thicknesses ranging up to 60 metres. Interestingly, these grades are associated with very low concentrations of sulphide minerals, averaging about 0.5% sulphide (mostly pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.) As a linear relationship between sulphide content and PGE grades has generally been observed at Idefix, a ten-fold increase in sulphide content could bring a similar order of magnitude increase in PGE grades. This is substantiated by a showing at the southern end of Idefix which grades 1.4 g/t PGE+Au over 31 metres (see Company news release dated October 10, 2013) and is associated with approximately 3% sulphide. Such concentrations of sulphides are far too low to be detected from a VTEM airborne geophysical survey that was completed in 2016. However, this survey did identify a 500 metre-long conductor adjacent to the above mentioned showing which could represent an accumulation of massive or semi-massive sulphides.

"Idefix presents an exciting opportunity. There are very few intrusions in North America where one can trace sulphide PGE mineralization for 5 kilometres and over widths of up to 60 metres. The drilling in 2013 targeted high-grade reef-type PGE mineralization but additional disseminated mineralization sits above the PGE reef. The concept of a large-tonnage disseminated deposit has been somewhat overlooked and the emphasis should now be on seeing if pockets and zones of slightly higher concentrations of disseminated PGE mineralization exist."
