Northern Shield Resources Expands Mineralization at Labradour Trough Projects

Northern Shield Resources Inc. (TSXV:NRN) has reported partial results from exploration at several of its wholly owned projects in the Labrador Trough.

As quoted in the press release:

The most significant samples, for which results are available, assayed 11.1 g/t 3E (3E = 4.6 g/t Pt, 3.8 g/t Pd, 2.7g/t Au) and 0.92% Cu and 2.8 g/t 3E (1.3 g/t Pt, 1.1 g/t Pd, 0.4 g/t Au) and 0.26% Cu. The samples were collected proximal to the Eastern Showing at Idefix which was newly identified late last year. The Eastern Showing is characterized by being richer in Pt than Pd, in contrast to the Idefix Reef and mineralization at La Colline where Pd:Pt ratios are typically 3:1. Assays are still pending for 160 of the 196 samples collected from the Idefix and Brian properties in the northern Labrador Trough.

Northern Shield CEO, Ian Bliss, said:

We continue to discover significant PGE mineralization on each return to our northern Labrador Trough properties … the Idefix property in particular, contains several distinct zones and styles of PGE mineralization including a platinum-rich zone, that is otherwise unusual in the Labrador Trough.
