Drill Results at Northern Shield’s Ontario Property Indicate Strong Copper-Zinc Potential

Northern Shield Resources Inc. (TSXV:NRN) and its partner Discovery Harbour Resources Corp. announced that the 12-hole drill program completed at their Ontario-based Wabassi property last month is starting to define a significant copper-zinc VMS body at Anomaly E.

As quoted in the press release:

Results include the intersection of 37.75% zinc over 1.9 meters and over 95 meters of stringer copper mineralization at Anomaly E, and the intersection of 16.3 g/t gold in the A1 Zone.

Michael Senn, Discovery Harbour’s executive vice president, commented:

The venture is pleased and excited that the testing of these new regional targets indicates that the geology contained within the new Wabassi claims is fertile for hosting another or multiple new VMS discoveries. To date, our drilling has intersected mineralization along 250 meters of strike length in a northeast-southwest direction and has intercepted mineralization from -70 meters to -350 meters below surface. Based on our ground and downhole electromagnetic and IP data, the mineralization could continue another 150 meters along strike to the southwest and an additional 200+ meters to the northeast, plunging to depths below 800 meters to the northeast.

Furthermore, the results from drilling at the A2 Zone and the intercept of 16.3 g/t gold in the A1 Zone all continue to bolster the economic potential of the portion of the volcanic belt contained within the joint venture’s claims groups.
