He currently is also a director of VVC Exploration Corp. and Sokoman Minerals Corp.

Mr. Dimmell replaces Don Bubar, whom for reasons of time constraints, did not stand for re-election.

"We are very pleased to have Mr. Dimmell on board; there are not may others that know the geology and exploration potential of Newfoundland better than Peter. He is highly regarded in the industry and brings to Northern Shield a wealth of exploration and development experience, along with an extensive network in the province and elsewhere. On behalf of the board, I would also like to pass on our thanks to Don for his service to Northern Shield," said Ian Bliss, Northern Shield president and chief executive officer.
