Northern Shield Completes VTEM over Faint Hope Gold property, northeastern Ontario
Ottawa (June 25, 2009) – Northern Shield Resources Inc. (“Northern Shield”) (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that it has completed an airborne VTEM over its Faint Hope gold project in northeastern Ontario. The survey was completed by Geotech Airborne Ltd. at 150 metre spaced lines and totaled 171 line kilometers. Further modeling of the data is underway.
The property is being explored for Homestake or Eleonore-style gold mineralization and is located on an unexplored regional lineament which may be a continuation of the Casa-Berardi Fault. A very distinct gold anomaly occurs in till samples directly south of the property in association with arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite (copper). Northern Shield also intersected several gold anomalous boulders while drilling a kimberlite target nearby in 2005.
