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

OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that it intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $400,000 (the "Offering").

The Offering is comprised of 10,000,000 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"). Each whole Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share within 24 months of the closing.  Proceeds from the offering will be used primarily for working capital purposes and to complete further exploration at the Company's Root & Cellar Property.

A Director of the Company, Mr. Russell M. Richards, will acquire 2,500,000 Units for proceeds of approximately $100,000.  The issuance of securities to an insider pursuant to the Offering (the "Insider Participation") constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protections of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").  Among other things, MI 61-101 requires, in certain instances, that a reporting issuer proposing to carry out a related party transaction is required to: (i) engage an independent valuator to prepare a valuation of the affected securities (the "Formal Valuation Requirement"); and (ii) obtain the approval of a majority of the "minority" shareholders (as that term is used in MI 61-101) (the "Minority Approval Requirement").

Subject to the TSXV's potential application of its discretion in section 3.1 of TSXV Policy 5.9,  Northern Shield would be entitled to rely on the exemption from the Formal Valuation Requirement by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company not listed on certain specified markets.  Additionally, Northern Shield is exempt from the Minority Approval Requirement as it is relying on the exemption contained in section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Insider Participation as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Insider Participation, insofar as it involves related parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Further details will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company in due course. The material change report will not be filed more than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the level of insider participation was not known until recently.

Securities issued under the Offering are subject to restrictions on resale for a period of four months and a day from the date of closing. The Offering is subject to final approval of the TSXV.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

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 and copper porphyry system.
