Northern Shield Increases Land Position to 420 km2 Covering Multiple Porphyry Copper & Epithermal Gold Targets In Newfoundland

Ottawa, Ontario (February 27, 2026) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. (“Northern Shield” or the “Company“) [TSX-V: NRN] is pleased to announce that through map staking, option agreements and property purchase, the Company has increased its land position from 32 km² to 420 km² pursuant to definitive agreements entered into with arm’s length parties on February 18, 2026 (collectively, the “Definitive Agreements“). The Company’s flagship Root & Cellar Gold-Silver-Tellurium-Copper Property (“Root & Cellar” or the “Property“), on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland, forms the core of the land position. Recent work at Root & Cellar, suggests a large, diatreme/porphyry-hosted, polymetallic Cu-Au-Ag-Te-Mo zone, which was the impetus for the land acquisitions in the Avalon Zone of eastern Newfoundland.
