Northern Shield Resources Inc TSXV:NRN announced drill results from its Wabassi property in Ontario. Highlights include

0.22% copper, 4.14% zinc, 10.9 grams per tonne silver over 24.95 metres
(including 0.45% copper, 15.44% zinc, 15.7 g/t silver over 6.08 metres)
0.42% copper, 4.3 g/t silver over 84.48 metres
(including 1.52% copper, 31.3 g/t silver over 0.99 metres)
2.36% zinc, 10 g/t silver over 5.42 metres
16.3 g/t silver over 1.03 metres

President/CEO Ian Bliss commented, “These are very positive results. We see some spectacular high grades of zinc extending closer to surface than first anticipated. Zinc is a very poor conductor, so at these sorts of grades, it will not show up on airborne or ground EM surveys, and hence it is possible that the zinc extends to subsurface. The intersection of the feeder zone not only provides significant copper mineralization but vectors us towards the anticipated center of the mineralized system. It strongly reinforces geophysical modeling, which suggests that the body extends to depth towards the northeast.”
