Northern Shield Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based company known for generating high-quality Ni-Cu-PGE exploration targets and executing grass roots exploration through a model driven approach. Utilizing this method through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seabourne Resources Inc., it has recently discovered a low sulphidation epithermal gold system at the Shot Rock Property in Nova Scotia. This is the first time that such a system has been found in the province.
Low sulphidation systems are highly prized for their potential to host “bonanza” gold grades. Results from early exploration suggest a very large foot-print and all the indications of a long-lived and active system. The discovery was made within a few hundred meters of the Trans-Canada Highway, a power-line and a railway. The discovery exemplifies that mineral potential of under-explored Nova Scotia.

As society emerges from fossil energy to a more efficient and sustainable source, GéoMégA believes that the future of clean energy resides in the lanthanide called neodymium. Neodymium is vital for the production of high-performance permanent-magnet motors, used in a wide variety of electrical devices. Such applications are already in increasing demand with the growth of sustainable-energy initiatives including hybrid and electric vehicles and direct-drive wind turbines.
Furthermore, to develop such neodymium deposits, GéoMégA believes it makes much more investment sense to have internal rare earth processing technology and in that way avoiding sending off your concentrate to companies in China for poor returns and no global supply advantage.
GéoMégA and its private subsidiary Innord are mineral exploration and mining processing technology companies which are focusing on the development of rare earth elements deposits in Quebec. The focus is delivering an environmentally sustainable process starting from the hydrometallurgical process to make a concentrate and all the way to separated high purity oxides. The companies have developed a low acid and low power metallurgical process for bastnaesite ore and a proprietary technology for rare earth purification that has been already demonstrated on industrial residues. GéoMégA is committed to meeting Canadian mining industry standards and distinguishing itself with its innovative engineering, stakeholder’s engagement and its dedication to local transformation benefits.
