TORONTO, ONTARIO ("Canadian Shield" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce the final assay results from Phase II drilling on hole
DDH-E12 at the La Estrella Gold-Silver-Copper Property located in
the Department of Huancavelica, Central Peru.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Total depth of DDH-E12 is 245 metres with significant
mineralization occurring between 144 and 214.5 metres.
- This 70.5 metre section grades 0.842 grams per tonne gold (g/t
Au) and 71.8 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag), including a number of
thinner, higher grade intersections noted in the table below.
- Hole DDH-E12 is the diamond core extension of Drill Hole
RC-E11 which ended in 19 metres of 0.93 grams per tonne gold (g/t
Au) and 58.8 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) from 144 to 163 metres
depth (see November 23, 2007 and January 29, 2008 press
releases).

"The property is living up to our expectations returning the
grade and width of mineralization that we feel will make a mineable
deposit. We have completed 9 holes in this Phase II program and all
the holes are visibly mineralized, hosted by a complex system of
mineralized structures, lithologic contacts, hydrothermal breccias,
along with sheeted and stockwork veining. We are anxiously awaiting
more geochemical analysis" said Phil Anderson, VP of Exploration
for Canadian Shield.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES
Canadian Shield exercises a strict chain of sample custody in
all programs. The Company's personnel removes core from the drill
rig and delivers it to a senior project geologist who marks the
core into 1 metre sample intervals. Canadian Shield's personnel
supervise the immediate splitting, sawing and bagging of samples,
and packaging of groups of samples for dispatch to the lab. The
remainder of the split core remains on site.
The Company's staff transports batches of samples 130 kilometres
to Huancayo, where they ship the samples directly to SGS
Laboratory's facility in Lima. At the lab, the samples are prepared
by crushing and pulverizing and a 30 gram charge is assayed for
gold by conventional fire assay and/or atomic absorption methods.
Multi-element ICP analysis is carried out using a multi-acid
digestion process. All samples that contain silver and/or copper,
lead, and zinc values that exceed the upper detection limits for
ICP are reanalysed by conventional atomic absorption methods to
determine the absolute values of these metals.
Silver Equivalent (AgEq) was calculated assuming a 55 to 1 ratio
of Gold to Silver. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns
are assumed to be 100%.
Phil Anderson, a "Qualified Person" as defined by National
Instrument 43-101, supervised the program and approved the
technical aspects of this press release.
