Northern Shield Completes Exploration at Sé2 - Commences Work at Idefix

OTTAWA, Sept. 22, 2017 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") [TSX-V: NRN] is pleased to announce that it has completed its planned till sampling program at Sé2 and exploration in the surrounding area, including follow-up sampling of the copper-gold discovery announced on July 25, 2017.

Approximately 150 rock, soil and till samples from the above mentioned programs are in the lab with results pending. Assays from a further 450 core samples from the Huckleberry drilling program are also pending.

As planned, field validation of an 800 metre long electromagnetic conductor identified from a VTEM survey completed in 2016 at Idefix is also underway. Significant PGE mineralization is seen on surface at either end of this conductor that includes the La Colline showing, previously discovered by Northern Shield. The conductor coincides with a low-lying area of generally poor exposure but further work in this area will attempt to determine if this conductor is sourced in the Ni-Cu-PGE-bearing gabbro sill complex or underlying sedimentary unit.

The programs are being overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, P. Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company focused on exploring for platinum group element ("PGE") and nickel-copper-PGE deposits. It is known as a leader in grass roots exploration for Ni-Cu-PGEs and the understanding of magmatic systems as it applies to exploration.
