Northern Shield Resources Inc. provided an update on the Root & Cellar Property in Newfoundland, which is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization and porphyry copper. The Company can earn a 100% interest in the Root & Cellar Property. Prospecting in the vicinity of strong gold in soil anomalies resulted in the discovery of numerous large angular gold-silver anomalous quartz boulders containing appreciable sulphides . Although capacity issues at the analytical laboratories have created lengthy backlog for results, assays have been received from forty-two samples collected from the vicinity of this new occurrence named Windfall. Twenty-five of these samples assayed between 0.1 and 17 g/t Au and up to 24.4 g/t Ag. The gold-bearing quartz boulders were found almost continuously over a traverse of a 200 m wide deformation zone that marks the contact between a volcanic sequence that dominates the Root & Cellar Property and underlying metasedimentary rocks. The showing is at the western end of a 1,500 m long gold-in-soil anomaly that coincides with the deformation zone. The Conquest Zone represents the principal gold target at Root & Cellar. Soil sampling has outlined a distinct zone 1,500 m x 600 m anomalous in gold (Figure 1) and associated with other pathfinder elements. Within this zone, past surface sampling by Northern Shield and the prospector has located gold mineralization (0.1 to 45.5 g/t Au) over an area measuring approximately 630 m x 400 m. Although epithermal in nature, the mineralization appears more akin to the high sulphidation variety, though colloform-crustiform banded veins, more typical of low sulphidation, have also been discovered recently at Conquest. New copper mineralization in outcrop has also been discovered within the Conquest area. A quartz vein containing chalcocite (Figure 4) and hosted in altered rhyolite assayed 4% Cu. Although copper mineralization has been previously found in the western portion of the property, this is the first time such grades have been seen in the central part and this finding supports the possibility of a copper porphyry system underlying Root & Cellar.
