Northern Shield Completes First Phase of Drilling at Huckleberry; Prepares for Drilling at Séquoi

Northern Shield Resources (TSXV:NRN) announced that the initial drill program has been completed at the Huckleberry property in northern Quebec.
As quoted in the press release:

Seven holes totaling 2,053 meters were drilled, including one hole abandoned for technical reasons. A first batch of samples is in process at the analytical lab and the remainder are in transit. The drilling program is being executed under the terms of the option agreement with South32 Limited, announced on June 7, 2016.
The drill-hole locations were selected to test certain electromagnetic (“EM”) anomalies identified from the VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey as well as to add geological knowledge from different portions of the Huckleberry intrusion. While more detailed interpretation and analysis will be provided on receipt of assay results, drilling continues to show the olivine melagabbro and peridotite of the western copper zone to be the primary target of interest.
In addition, a 1,000-1,500 meter drill program at the Company’s 100% owned Séquoi property is expected to commence in mid-November after the ground has frozen and the weather stabilized.
