Northern Shield Finds More Gold at Shot Rock, Nova Scotia

Northern Shield Resources (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce assay results from rock grab samples that were collected from the Shot Rock property, contemporaneously with the stream sediment sampling disclosed in a news release on August 8, 2018.

As quoted in the press release:

“We are consistently improving on the gold content of rock samples every time we return to Shot Rock,” points out Northern Shield President and CEO, Ian Bliss. “We are very happy with the progress to date that required a methodical approach due to the size of the property and limited data. We acquired this project based on the identification of panned gold at a certain stratigraphic level and some “out of the box thinking” by a prospector. Early on, we detected an epithermal signature in the area at the same time as the geologists from the Department of Natural Resources, Nova Scotia were drawing similar conclusions about an occurrence 80 kilometres west. We have now clearly identified classic, epithermal textured quartz veins, and they are gold bearing. We now need to find the bedrock source of these float samples. The next phases of exploration will move toward developing drilling targets and I am excited about the grades we could encounter at depth from a future drilling program.”
