OTTAWA, Nov. 9 /CNW Telbec/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN - News) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a deep overburden sampling program at its 100% owned Faint Hope gold prospect located north of Cochrane, Ontario which is being explored for Homestake-style gold mineralization. The property, which consists of 6 contiguous claims, covers what is interpreted from airborne geophysics to be a heavily faulted diorite intrusion and iron-formation sitting in the middle of prominent, east-west regional-scale structural zone. The property is surrounded to the east and west by claims staked by Lakeshore Gold Inc.

A self-propelled auger drill has been mobilized to the property in order to collect till samples from as deep in the overburden as possible, ideally at the bedrock-overburden interface. Previous collected soil samples analyzed by the selective leach method showed elevated gold values over certain portions of the property. The deep overburden sampling is designed to follow up on these results by providing more quantitative results that will be used to direct further exploration and drilling on the Faint Hope property.

The project is being overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, Northern Shield's Chief Geologist and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Northern Shield is an innovative, results-driven Canadian company focused on Platinum Group Element (PGE) exploration in Ontario. Its mission is to create a successful mineral exploration company through technical excellence and efficient management, where success is measured by the identification and development of high-quality mineral exploration projects, which may ultimately be optioned, sold or developed for maximum return on investment.
