Sé2 Till Sampling Results
Sé2 Till Sampling Results
OTTAWA, Nov. 15, 2017 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resou rces Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company")
(TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to provide results from a t ill sampling program undertaken at Sé2 ("the
Property"). The results show anomalous gold, locall y combined with anomalous copper. The survey was
designed to cover a portion of the VTEM survey comp leted in 2016. Although the claims were originally
staked for their nickel potential, the discovery of gold and copper on the Company's "88 Claim Propert y"
nearby (see Press Release dated July 25 th , 2017) and other discoveries in the Labrador Troug h prompted
more attention to gold in the area.
Seventy-nine till samples were collected over approximately 130 square kilometres and each sample was
analysed for a multi-element geochemical suite as well as picked for heavy mineral sorting. In total, 198
grains of gold were picked (normalized to 5 kilograms) from the 79 samples with the most anomalous
sample containing 13 grains. Twenty-five of the gold grains are in pristine condition, suggesting prox imity
to source. Geochemical analysis results are consistent with the number of observed gold grains picked
from the till samples. Five samples returned greater than 50 ppb Au with a high of 98 ppb Au. Tungsten,
often a pathfinder for gold mineralization, is locally anomalous with a high of 704 ppb W compared to
background assays of 70 ppb W. Copper is also local ly anomalous (up to 108 ppm Cu).
Although outcrop is very limited within the Property, it is possible to define a tightly folded unit from the
airborne Magnetic-VTEM survey completed in 2016. Th e gold anomalies in the till study appear to be
generally confined to this unit.
These results continue to highlight the gold potential of the Labrador Trough and the Sé2 area showing
similarities to Lode Gold systems elsewhere and will factor into the Company's exploration programs
being planned for next year.
The program was overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, P. Geo., the Company's Chief Geologist and a
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Samples were analyzed by ALS Global in Sudbury,
Ontario and in Vancouver, BC, for trace elements by aqua regia digestion and a combination of ICP-MS
and ICP-AES. Heavy mineral processing and gold grai n picking were undertaken by Overburden Drilling
Management Ltd. in Ottawa, Ontario.
Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company focused on exploring for platinum
group element ("PGE") and nickel-copper-PGE deposit s. It is known as a leader in grass roots
exploration for Ni-Cu-PGEs and the understanding of magmatic systems as it applies to
exploration.
Forward-Looking Statements Advisory
This news release contains statements concerning the exploration plans, results and potential Cu-Ni-PG E
and other mineralization at the Company's southern Labrador Trough properties and geological, and
geometrical analyses of the southern Labrador Trough properties and other expectations, plans, goals,
objectives, assumptions, information or statements about future events, conditions, results of exploration
