Northern Shield Provides Updates on Exploration at Max and Wabassi Properties. Drilling Resumes at Max after Nickel Mineralization Identified

Northern Shield Provides Updates on Exploration at Max and Wabassi Properties. Drilling Resumes at Max after Nickel Mineralization Identified

Ottawa (September 8, 2008) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that the first phase of drilling at Max has been completed with four holes drilled and a second phase of drilling has commenced. Northern Shield has the option to earn up to a 66% interest in the Max property from East West Resource Corporation (“East West”) (EWR – TSX-V). All three holes drilled on the main target at Max intersected a mafic-ultramafic intrusion composed of peridotite, olivine- gabbronorite and troctolite. Two of the drill-holes (08MX-01 and 02) intersected local concentrations of disseminated chalcopyrite (copper sulphide), pentlandite (nickel sulphide), millerite (nickel sulphide) and chromite over very short intervals (< 1 m). Millerite is a very nickel-rich sulphide which generally forms from the remobilization of pentlandite. The location of the millerite suggests greater volumes of pentlandite may be located within the intrusion. The mineralized intersection in hole 08MX-02 is interesting in that only chalcopyrite and pentlandite were observed with none of the usual accompanying pyrrhotite (iron sulphide). If the EM anomaly currently being tested is of similar composition, it would be favourable to higher grade nickel-copper mineralization.

Northern Shield Resources Options Ni-Cu-PGE prospect in northern Ontario

Northern Shield Resources Options Ni-Cu-PGE prospect in northern Ontario

Ottawa (June 23, 2008) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement with East West Resource Corporation. (“East West”) (EWR – TSX-V) whereby Northern Shield can earn up to a 66% interest in East West’s 91 square kilometer “Max” nickel-copper PGE prospect located adjacent to Northern Shield’s Wabassi property in northwestern Ontario.

Under the terms of the option agreement, Northern Shield can earn a 50% interest in the property by making an initial payment of $75,000, issuing 300,000 shares, incurring $1 million in exploration expenditures on the property within 2 years, of which $250,000 must be incurred in 2008, and making an additional payment of $50,000 and issuing an additional 100,000 shares on the first anniversary of the agreement. After earning its 50% interest, Northern Shield can increase its interest to 66% with an additional expenditure of $2.5 million over two years and the issuance of an additional 250,000 shares. Under the agreement Northern Shield is the operator and manager for the exploration. The terms of this agreement are subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Northern Shield Resources Commences Exploration at Wabassi, northern Ontario and completes Private Placement

Northern Shield Resources Commences Exploration at Wabassi, northern Ontario and completes Private Placement

Ottawa (June 10, 2008) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that a reconnaissance rock sampling program has been completed at its 100% owned Wabassi property in the western James Bay Lowlands. The Wabassi property covers a PGE bearing layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion that Northern Shield discovered in late 2007.

The Wabassi property is located up-ice from a series of till samples collected by the Ontario Geological Survey that are distinctly anomalous in Ni-Cr and PGEs. The PGE potential of the intrusion was confirmed earlier this year when Northern Shield identified significantly enriched PGEs in bedrock (see press release dated January 17, 2008). The rock sampling program focussed on the area of the property where the enriched bedrock located. The property was also visited by Dr Wolfgang Maier, consultant to Northern Shield and world renowned PGE and layered intrusion expert. The rock samples were sent to ALS Chemex in Vancouver B.C where they are being analysed for PGEs and base-metals. Assays are expected within two weeks.

Northern Shield Resources Identifies Layered Intrusion Indicator Minerals at its Eastbank Property in the James Bay Lowlands.

Northern Shield Resources Identifies Layered Intrusion Indicator Minerals at its Eastbank Property in the James Bay Lowlands.

Ottawa (April 29, 2008) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce the results of reconnaissance till sampling from its Eastbank property located within the western James Bay Lowlands in northern Ontario.

The samples returned various minerals and rock fragments that may be indicative of the presence of a layered mafic/ultramafic intrusion at Eastbank. These include chromite, chrome-bearing clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, chrome-bearing andradite, olivine, nickel- cobalt bearing loellingite and fragments of gabbro. Olivine and nickel-cobalt loellengite are easily weathered and disintegrate quickly and hence their presence in the till sample suggests proximity to source.
