Northern Shield Announces Warrant Extension

OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 17, 2021 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NRN) announces that the Company intends to extend the exercise period of a total of 1,766,667 share purchase warrants, all of which are exercisable at $0.10 per common share (collectively, the "Warrants"). The Warrants were issued pursuant to a private placement which closed on March 4, 2019. The Company proposes to extend the expiry dates for these Warrants by one (1) additional year, and accordingly, the new expiry dates for the Warrants will be March 6, 2022.

All other terms and conditions of the Warrants remain unchanged. The Warrant extension is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

A total of 666,667 Warrants are held by parties who are considered to be "related parties" of the Company. Therefore, the amendment of Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions, and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions. However, the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for by these guidelines can be relied upon as the fair market value of the Warrants does not exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Company.
