Northern Shield signs Option and Strategic Alliance Letter of Intent with Impala Platinum Holdings Limited

Ottawa (January 23, 2012) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent ("LOI") with Impala Platinum Holdings Limited of South Africa (“Impala”) regarding an option on Northern Shield’s 100% owned Idefix PGE property in Quebec.

Northern Shield intersects 104 meters of 19 g/t Ag in VMS setting at Tempest. 10,000 meter drill program planned for Wabassi

Northern Shield intersects 104 meters of 19 g/t Ag in VMS setting at Tempest. 10,000 meter drill program planned for Wabassi

Ottawa (December 5, 2011) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce the discovery of VMS-type mineralization at Northern Shield’s 100% owned Tempest property in Northern Ontario including the intersection of 19 g/t Ag over 104.2 meters in drill-hole 11TP-02. The silver mineralization is associated with stringer, semi-massive and massive sulphides dominated by pyrite and pyrrhotite and hosted by intensely altered volcanic rocks commonly observed on the flanks of or capping copper-zinc VMS deposits. The top portion of the target appears to have undergone supergene enrichment, a beneficial weathering process not often observed in Canada. (see Northern’s website)

Northern Shield Acquires Two New PGE Properties in the Labrador Trough, Quebec

Northern Shield Acquires Two New PGE Properties in the Labrador Trough, Quebec

Ottawa (July 18, 2011) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in two new PGE prospects in the Labrador Trough, northeastern Quebec. The Lac d’Argent property is located 125 kilometers north of Schefferville and the Idefix (Ukunngaalik) property is located 80 kilometers northwest of Kuujjuaq.

The Lac d’Argent property consists of 65 units totaling 2,925 hectares. The geology of the property is dominated by a 12 kilometer long layer of peridotite within a gabbro sill. In 1988 an Australian mining company completed a soil sample survey on the property and reported three soil samples assaying over 100 ppb with a high of 237 ppb Pt. The property also contains highly anomalous nickel with soil samples up to 637 ppm Ni. No follow-up work was noted in the assessment report filed by the company that completed the soil sampling or any other exploration party.

Northern Shield increases land holdings at Wabassi, 7,700 line kilometers of VTEM to be flown

Ottawa (June 6, 2011) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) and its partner Discovery Harbour Resources Corp. (“Discovery Harbour”) are pleased to provide an update on exploration activities on the Wabassi Property, south of the Ring of Fire in northwestern Ontario.

The outstanding assay results from the spring drill program on Anomaly E are nearly complete. Drill-hole 11WA-20 deflected off course but still intersected the very edge of the conductor on line 200S at Anomaly E, including 6.4% zinc over 3.4 meters and 0.5% copper and 37.7 g/t silver over 4 meters. Drill-hole 11WA-19 appears to have undercut and drilled parallel the conductor. The first two drill-holes completed on Anomaly E by Northern Shield (see press release April 14th 2011) intersected 1.1% Cu, 2.3% Zn, 54 g/t Ag and 0.14 g/t Au over 20.05 meters in drill-hole 11WA-16 and 1.4% Cu, 2.1% Zn, 34 g/t Ag and 0.1 g/t Au over 30.24 meters in drill-hole11WA-17, which included a higher grade section of 2.7% Cu, 4.9% Zn, 68 g/t Ag and 0.2 g/t Au over 12.7 meters. Grades of up to 9.1% copper, 25.5% zinc and 217 g/t silver were also intersected in this drill-hole. Modeling of the ground EM survey completed earlier this year shows Anomaly E to have a strike length of 600 meters and to plunge to depths of over 800 meters. Considerably more drilling is planned for Anomaly E.

Northern Shield to Drill Highbank Lake

Northern Shield to Drill Highbank Lake

Ottawa (June 2, 2011) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce a 1600-metre drill program at Highbank is scheduled to commence in July of this year. In 2007, drill-holes 01 and 05 intersected rock-types that are equivalent to those seen at the very top of the Critical Zone in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The “Critical Zone” marks the transition from mafic to ultramafic rocks. In the Bushveld, the two main PGE-bearing reefs are located just below this transition. Northern Shield will test the southwestern and western portion of the layered intrusion with four or five holes along strike from the two holes drilled in 2007, where interpretations suggest that the “Critical Zone” comes closer to surface. Previous work by Northern Shield has identified grains of sperrylite (platinum sulphide) and pentlandite (nickel sulphide) along with chromite grains and boulders in stream sediment samples immediately down-ice from this target area. The drill program will also test the continuation of the vanadium-titanium- iron-ore reef that was discovered in the initial drill program at Highbank in 2006. On completion of the drill program at Highbank it is planned to move the drill to Wabassi to join the one already there. Updates of exploration activity at Wabassi, including outstanding assays from the spring drill program, should be available very shortly.
