/CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("
Northern Shield
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced (
April
23, 2025
) non-brokered, private placement of 7,500,000 units for total proceeds of
$300,000
(the
"
Offering
").
The Offering was comprised of 7,500,000 units ("
Units
") at
$0.04
per Unit, with each Unit consisting
of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "
Common Share
") and one Common Share
purchase warrant (a "
Warrant
") for aggregate gross proceeds of
$300,000
. Each Warrant is
exercisable for one Common Share at a price of
$0.10
per share within 24 months of closing.
Proceeds from the Offering, together with the
$500,500
in proceeds from the Company's previously
completed offering of flow-through and non-flow through units that closed on
April 22, 2025
, will be
used for exploration expenses at the Root & Cellar Property focussed on a diamond drill program at
the Conquest Zone to commence on or around
June 10, 2025
. A drill contract has been signed with
MCL Drilling of
Deer Lake, Newfoundland
.
We are excited to be starting this, pivotal,
3,000m
drill program, on the Conquest Zone at Root &
Cellar. This drilling program follows up on the 2023 program that identified the sinter and outflow
zone, marking the top of an epithermal gold / silver system. It is unusual to see significant gold
mineralization at the sinter level, and the visible gold found in the 2023 drilling and trenching
programs, bodes well for what may exist at greater depth in the boiling zone where higher grades
that are characteristic of low sulphidation systems, are expected. 3D modelling of the magnetic low
underlying the Conquest Zone shows a compelling visualization of the epithermal system, with the
sinter coinciding with the top of a "branch" that extends to approximately
800m
depth"
"Epithermal gold systems are renowned for their high grades of gold and silver grades but a select
few of them are also very large. Grab samples with values up to 111 g/t Au, 1,385 g/t Ag, 700 ppm
Te and 10.5% Cu, (see Company news release,
May 21, 2019
, and
September 7, 2022
) show the
high-grade potential at Root & Cellar, however the multiple datasets generated are also suggestive
of a very large system."
What makes the Root & Cellar property even more attractive is its location on the
Burin Peninsula
,
10-minute drive from a paved highway and deep-water port and accessible by car. When
geologists think of large-scale epithermal gold and porphyry copper systems,
Newfoundland
is not
top of mind; however, "out of the box" thinking and innovation have led us to a significant Au-Ag-Te
discovery at Root & Cellar. When it comes to greenfield exploration for large, blind, epithermal
systems, we don't believe the evidence or location gets better than this."

About Northern Shield Resources
Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company known as a leader in generating high-
quality exploration targets that views greenfield exploration as an opportunity to find a mineable
deposit, near surface, and at relatively low cost. We implement a model driven exploration approach
to reduce the risk associated with early-stage projects for ourselves, our shareholders, and the
environment. This approach led us to option the Root & Cellar Property from a
Newfoundland
prospector, who discovered the mineralization, and then its advancement to a large gold-silver-
tellurium system.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined
in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
