Northern Shield Extends Surface Porphyry Copper Mineralization Through Trenching at Creston, Root & Cellar, Newfoundland

Northern Shield Resources Inc. (NRN) has reported trenching results from the Creston target on its Root & Cellar property in Newfoundland. The trenching work extended surface porphyry copper mineralization, marking the first identification of porphyry-hosted copper on the property. These results correlate with the IP-1 geophysical anomaly, strengthening the interpretation of a larger porphyry system at depth.

Composite and grab samples collected from the trenches have been submitted for assay, with results pending. The company plans to expand the trenches and conduct additional sampling to refine targets for a planned maiden drilling program.

Northern Shield Resources Inc. (NRN) confirmed surface continuity of its copper target, validating the geophysical model established in previous months. This development represents an expected step in the company’s phased exploration program leading to the maiden drill program. No new assay data or resource definition was provided, and the impact on the company's financials or near-term operations is incremental. The exploration update reinforces the geological model but does not materially alter the company's risk profile or capital requirements.

Northern Shield Resources Inc. (NRN) is an exploration-stage junior focused on epithermal gold and magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE systems in eastern Canada. The company operates with no revenue generation.

Its flagship Root & Cellar Property is 100% owned and located on the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland. This property targets porphyry copper, epithermal gold-silver-tellurium, and magmatic Ni-Cu-Co systems.

The company has expanded its land position to 420 km². This total includes the 212 km² Fortune Property and 136 km² on the Cape St. Mary's Peninsula.
