About Northern Shield Resources Inc.

Northern Shield Resources is a Canadian-based company known as a leader in generating high-quality exploration targets that views greenfield exploration as an opportunity to find a mineable deposit, near surface and at relatively low cost. The company implements a model-driven exploration approach to reduce the risk associated with early stage projects for itself, its shareholders and the environment. This approach led the company to option the Root & Cellar property from a Newfoundland prospector, who discovered the mineralization, and then its advancement to a large gold-silver-tellurium system.
