Northern Shield Commences Exploration at Root & Cellar Project, Newfoundland
Northern Shield Commences Exploration at
Root & Cellar Project, Newfoundland
OTTAWA, ON
,
Feb. 15, 2023
/CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the
"Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has commenced this season's exploration
programs at Root & Cellar ("Root & Cellar" or the "Project"). Root & Cellar is located on the
Burin
Peninsula
in southeastern
Newfoundland
. Northern Shield can earn up to a 100% interest in the
Project, which is being explored for epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-copper mineralization.
A ground Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey is underway with some mechanical trenching
to take place concurrently and further trenching after the IP survey is completed. The IP survey
lines are being run in an east-west direction with the objective of better defining the northerly-
trending feeder structures that will be targeted in the following diamond drilling program. Current
interpretation indicates it is these northerly-trending structures that carry the higher-grade gold
including visible gold. Trenching will focus on exposing the feeder mineralization where they are
interpreted to come near to surface.
"We are very much looking forward to seeing the IP results and testing these targets with trenching
if accessible from surface and, subsequent diamond drilling. We believe that these programs will
be catalytic for the growth of Root & Cellar"
