08:31 AM EDT, 07/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Northern Shield Resources ( NSHRF ) said Friday that it completed a 3,000-meter drill program at the Conquest zone of the Root & Cellar gold-silver-tellurium property in Newfoundland.

The company said it encountered quartz veins, visible gold/electrum grains and grains/crystals of what is believed to be gold telluride, calaverite and krennerite.

Northern Shield also reported multiple zones of hydrothermal mineralization and zones of intense carbonate alteration.

"We look forward to the assay results and the next exploration phases which include down-hole structural surveys to define the orientation of the telluride/ginguro-bearing quartz veins so they can be targeted in the next phase of drilling," said Ian Bliss, president and CEO of Northern Shield.
