OTTAWA, Sept. 29, 2011 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern
Shield") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration
at Northern Shield's Storm Claim Group in the Wabassi area, northern
Ontario. The Storm Claim Group, which is owned 100% by Northern Shield,
consists of six claims blocks identified as Tempest, Typhoon, Blizzard,
Squall, Gale and Monsoon.


The VTEM survey over the Wabassi Joint Venture property and over the
Storm Claim Group is now complete and interpretation is on-going.
Numerous VTEM anomalies are apparent within the Wabassi Joint Venture
Property and Storm Claim Group. Of particular interest is a series of
moderate to strong VTEM anomalies on Northern Shield's 100% owned
Tempest property (part of the Storm Claim Group) that coincide with
magnetic features. Such characteristics are typical of Ni-Cu-PGE
deposits. Northern Shield has completed a ground pulse electromagnetic
(PEM) survey over the strongest and largest target identified from the
VTEM survey over Tempest property. Interpretation and modeling of both
the ground and airborne data is on-going, but the results to date
clearly indicate a strong conductor with an estimated strike length of
500-800 meters and a thickness of up to 215 meters. The top of the
conductor is estimated to be at approximately 125 to 200 meters below
surface.


Northern Shield originally intended to undertake a 1600 meter drill
program at the Highbank Lake property in the summer which was delayed
as a result of forest fires in the area. Due to the compelling nature
of the geophysical target at Tempest, management prioritized the
Tempest target for drilling. As such, Northern Shield will test this
target on the Tempest property with two drill-holes (approximately 1000
meters) in early October. On completion of the drill program at
Tempest, the drill will be moved to Highbank where one drill-hole will
be undertaken in order to meet assessment requirements.


The drill program will be overseen by Christine Vaillancourt, Chief
Geologist for Northern Shield and a Qualified Person under National
Instrument 43-101.


Northern Shield is an innovative, results-driven Canadian company
focused on Ni-Cu-PGE exploration in Ontario and Quebec and Cu-Zn-Ag
mineralization at Wabassi. 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 maximum return on
investment.
