Idefix

Twenty-one grab samples were collected from a gabbro sill during the reconnaissance of the Idefix property conducted in September 2011 of which nine returned assays greater than 1 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 3 samples assayed greater than 7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au. The sample which contains the highest Pt+Pd+Au value of 8.8 g/t also returned 2.4% copper. The program was successful in confirming the presence of previously reported grades of PGEs from this occurrence as well as identifying new mineralization. Northern Shield’s new analysis combined with previously reported data suggests a PGE-bearing zone with a strike length of 1,350 meters and is open at both ends.
