- Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canada-based junior mineral exploration company that identifies, acquires and explores mineral properties primarily in Eastern Canada. The company targets nickel, copper, gold, silver, tellurium and platinum group metals through grassroots exploration programs employing a model-driven approach; its flagship asset is the Root & Cellar Au-Ag-Te-(Cu) property comprising 16 mineral licenses covering approximately 30 square kilometres on the Burin Peninsula near Marystown and Creston, Newfoundland, which features epithermal gold-silver-tellurium mineralization and associated porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-tellurium systems across five gold-mineralized zones over a 6 kilometre strike length; principal properties also include Shot Rock and Idefix; exploration occurs via its wholly-owned subsidiary Seabourne Resources Inc., which focuses on epithermal gold and related deposits in Atlantic Canada. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, the company operates in mining-friendly jurisdictions with low political risk. Recent developments include completing an oversubscribed private placement in November 2025; finishing a 3,000 metre drilling program at Root & Cellar in July 2025 intersecting ginguro-banded quartz veins; commencing drilling in June 2025 targeting epithermal gold-tellurium-silver mineralization following flow-through financing closed in May 2025; advancing discovery of a large epithermal and porphyry system with updates in October and September 2025 identifying a new hydrothermal system in diatreme breccia; and earning a 100% interest in Root & Cellar in July 2023.
