SOUTH32 CONFIRM CONTINUED FUNDING OF HUCKLEBERRY OPTION

Northern Shield Resources Inc. has provided the following update. South32 has confirmed its commitment to finance at least $1.3-million of exploration expenditures at Huckleberry in 2017 in accordance with the option and joint venture agreement signed between the two parties in 2016.

"The 2016 exploration and drill program provided vital information which enhanced our geological understanding of the Huckleberry complex and provided a possible vector to mineralization. We look forward to getting back on the ground with South32 next year," said Northern Shield president and chief executive officer Ian Bliss.
