Northern Shield Resources Identifies Layered Intrusion Indicator Minerals at its Eastbank Property in the James Bay Lowlands Tue Apr 29, 10:16 AM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com OTTAWA, April 29 /CNW Telbec/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield") (TSX-V: NRN.V) is pleased to announce the results of reconnaissance till sampling from its Eastbank property located within the western James Bay Lowlands in northern Ontario. The samples returned various minerals and rock fragments that may be indicative of the presence of a layered mafic/ultramafic intrusion at Eastbank. These include chromite, chrome-bearing clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, chrome-bearing andradite, olivine, nickel-cobalt bearing loellingite and fragments of gabbro. Olivine and nickel-cobalt loellengite are easily weathered and disintegrate quickly and hence their presence in the till sample suggests proximity to source. Northern Shield's management believes that its 100% owned Eastbank property covers a large layered intrusive complex similar to its neighbouring Highbank Lake property. Such complexes are prized for their potential to host extensive platinum mineralization, as 80% of the world's production of platinum comes from layered intrusions in southern Africa. Exploration is being supervised by Christine Vaillancourt, Northern Shield's Chief Geologist, who is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Till samples were processed at Overburden Drilling Management Ltd in Ottawa, Canada. Northern Shield is an innovative, results-driven Canadian company focused on platinum exploration. Its mission is to create a successful mineral exploration company through technical excellence and efficient management, where success is measured by the identification and development of high-quality mineral exploration projects, which may ultimately be optioned, sold or developed for optimal benefit.
