Northern Shield Reports More Porphyry-Style
Mineralization, Creston Cu-Mo-Au-Ag-Te
Target, Newfoundland
OTTAWA, ON

Jan. 14, 2026
/CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("
Northern Shield
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that a large area of mineralization has been
exposed at the Creston Copper target, on the Company's 100% owned Root & Cellar Property
("
Root
& Cellar
" or the "
Property
"),
Burin Peninsula
, southeastern
Newfoundland
. The Property
hosts 5 epithermal gold-silver-(tellurium) zones over a 6-kilometre strike-length, and a large,
associated polymetallic porphyry copper-molybdenite-silver-tellurium-gold system.
This new area of mineralization, covering approximately
50 m
x
30 m
, has been exposed as
quarrying continues in one of several aggregate quarries on the Property (Fig 1). Mineralization
consists of variable concentrations of pyrite-galena (lead sulphide) -sphalerite (lead-zinc) bearing
quartz veinlets, fractures and breccia fillings with minor chalcopyrite, chalcocite, molybdenite and
other sulphide minerals hosted in a diatreme breccia and rhyolite dikes that cut the breccia (Fig 2).
This zone is adjacent to a recently discovered hydrothermal breccia vent and
50 m
from breccia-
hosted copper mineralization with grades up to 1.2% Cu, originally discovered by a prospector (see
Company news release
May 21, 2019
). Copper mineralization, +/- molybdenite, gold, silver and
tellurium with grades, from previously collected rock grab samples, include 8.5% Cu, 1.1% Mo, 0.13
g/t Au and 54 g/t Ag and 60 ppm Te, (see Company news release
April 19, 2023
), are exposed in 4
of the 5 aggregate quarries on the Property over a strike-length of 570 metres. The zone, which
continues to the northeast, follows a magnetic trend coincident with copper-molybdenite-anomalous
soil samples.
Assay results from the new rock grab samples are pending.
Induced polarization (IP) and/or magneto-telluric (MT) geophysical surveys over the expanded
Creston
target area are out for tender.
"We are excited by the rapid changes in geology and mineralization and the zone of lead-zinc
veins and breccias. This is the largest area of mineralization exposed to date at the
Creston
target
and its position adjacent to the copper mineralization is consistent with the outer zone of Cu-Mo-Ag
(Au-Te) porphyry systems and is most encouraging. We have been discovering increasingly
substantial mineralization since intensifying our focus on the
Creston
target last summer, and we
are eager to see the results of the geophysical surveys."

About Northern Shield Resources
Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company, a leader in generating high-quality
exploration targets, that views greenfield exploration as an opportunity to find a mineable, near
surface deposit 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 copper mineralization, and then to its advancement to the large gold-silver-tellurium
and porphyry copper/moly system that it has become.
Forward-Looking Statements Advisory
This news release contains statements concerning the exploration plans, results and potential for
epithermal gold deposits, and other mineralization at the Company's Root & Cellar Property ,
geological, geophysical and geometrical analyses of the properties and comparisons of the
properties to known epithermal gold deposits and other expectations, plans, goals, objectives,
assumptions, information or statements about future, conditions, results of exploration or
performance that may constitute forward-looking statements or information under applicable
securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of
assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect.
Although Northern Shield believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward looking statements

projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated by Northern Shield and described in the forward looking statements
or information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with
geological, geometrical and geophysical interpretation and analysis, the ability of Northern Shield to
obtain financing, equipment, supplies and qualified personnel necessary to carry on exploration and
the general risks and uncertainties involved in mineral exploration and analysis.
The forward-looking statements or information contained in this news release are made as of the
date hereof and Northern Shield undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward
