/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

OTTAWA, ON, April 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of a multi-faceted, non-brokered, private placement of 5,975,000 units for total proceeds of $242,500 (the "Offering").

The Offering was comprised of i) 5,625,000 units ("Units") at $0.04 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") for gross proceeds of $225,000 with each Warrant exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share within 24 months of the closing and ii) 350,000 flow-through units ("Flow-Through Units") at a price of $0.05 per Flow-Through Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,500 with each Flow-Through Unit consisting of one Common Share issued on a flow-through basis within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a "FT Warrant"). Each whole FT Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.125 per share within 24 months of the closing.

The proceeds will be used to fund a planned 3,000m drilling program designed to test a large 3D magnetic model with local, coincident IP chargeability anomalies that underlie part of the Conquest Zone at Root & Cellar. Drilling in 2023, along with the extension of the Discovery Trench in 2024, identified multiple occurrences of visible gold with grades of rock grab samples up to 78 g/t Au (see Company News Release, September 5, 2024). A 3D model of the magnetic low that underlies part of the Conquest Zone shows the Discovery Trench area that was successfully drilled in 2023 to be the very top of an up-flow or feeder zone of an intact epithermal system. (Figure 1).

Closing of the Offering is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and all of the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one-day statutory hold period. The Company anticipates closing an additional tranche in the next ten days.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering have or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.

Technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Christine Vaillancourt, P.Geo., the Company's Chief Geologist and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
