Northern Shield Closes Final Tranche of Financing

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

OTTAWA, ON , April 22, 2025 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NRN) is pleased to announce that, in order to address regulatory timing requirements, it has closed the final tranche of a non-brokered, private placement of 5,400,000 units for total proceeds of $258,000 (the "Tranche") bringing the total raised across both tranches to $500,500 (the "Offering").

The Tranche was comprised of: i) 1,200,000 units ("Units") at $0.04 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") for aggregate gross proceeds of $48,000; and ii) 4,200,000 flow-through units ("Flow-Through Units") at a price of $0.05 per Flow-Through Unit with each Flow-Through Unit consisting of one Common Share issued on a flow-through basis within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a "FT Warrant") for aggregate gross proceeds of $210,000.  Each whole FT Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.11 per share within 24 months of closing and each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share within 24 months of closing.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used for working capital and to incur eligible exploration expenses at the Root & Cellar Property focussed on a diamond drill program to commence in early June. The Company paid $11,280 and issued 237,000 warrants in finders fees in connection with the Offering.

"This financing allows us to contract for a 2,000m drill program at Root & Cellar which will likely be expanded to 3,000 m in the coming days as further financing is attained. The drilling will focus on the Conquest Zone where remnant silica sinter and geyser sediments mark the upper most portion of an up-flow zone of an epithermal system. It is unusual to see significant gold mineralization in the sinter and its abundance bodes well for high-grade gold mineralization, that is characteristic of epithermal system at slightly greater depth. 3D modelling of the magnetic low that underlies the Conquest Zone shows a compelling visualization of the epithermal system with the sinter coinciding with the top of one "branch" of the model that extends to approximately 800m depth"

About Northern Shield Resources

Northern Shield Resources Inc. 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 Tier 1 asset, near surface, and at relatively low cost. We implement a model driven exploration approach to reduce the risk associated with early-stage projects for ourselves, our shareholders, and the environment. This approach led us 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.
