Northern Shield Acquires More Ground at Shot Rock Gold Property, Nova Scotia

OTTAWA, Nov. 27, 2018 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has expanded the size of the Shot Rock Property (the "Property") by over 40% to 282 square kilometres. The expansion includes 3 new claims blocks, as well as additions to the main claim block.

The Company has recently announced the discovery of an extensive gold-bearing epithermal gold system at Shot Rock, the first of its kind in Nova Scotia. The new acquisitions are based on a variety of structural, geochemical or mineralogical information that Northern Shield management believes could host further low sulphidation epithermal gold systems, similar to that found in the previously discovered Highway Zone (see news release dated November 7, 2018).

"We believe there is potential for further low sulphidation epithermal quartz systems in the district as well as a target perhaps more akin to Carlin-trend style mineralization based on pathfinders in streams and regional geology," says Northern Shield President and CEO, Ian Bliss.

Results are pending for the latest batch of rock grab samples from the Highway Zone at Shot Rock.
