Drilling Underway at Northern Shield's Root & Cellar Property Targeting Epithermal Gold-Tellurium-Silver Mineralization
OTTAWA, ON, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the "Company") [TSXV: NRN] is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Company's 100% owned Root & Cellar Property ("Root & Cellar" or the "Property"), located on the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. The Property is being explored for epithermal gold mineralization as well as porphyry copper and includes 5 gold zones over a 6 kilometre strike-length. Tellurium, a critical metal, is associated with four of the showings and some of the copper mineralization.
Eight to 10 drill holes, totalling up to 3,000 m, are planned, with the drilling focussed on gold-tellurium-silver mineralization in the southern Conquest Zone and one or two holes to test a copper porphyry target in the central Conquest area. Drilling has been contracted to MCL Drilling of Deer Lake, Newfoundland.
"We are excited to be starting this pivotal 3,000 m drilling program on the Conquest Zone at Root & Cellar. The drilling follows up on the 2023 program that identified a sinter and outflow zone, marking the top of an epithermal gold / silver system. It is unusual to see significant gold mineralization at the sinter level, and the visible gold found in the 2023 drilling and trenching programs, bodes well for what may exist at greater depth in the boiling zone where higher grades, characteristic of low-sulphidation systems, are expected. 3D modelling of the magnetic low underlying the Conquest Zone (Figure 1) shows a compelling visualization of the epithermal system, with the sinter coinciding with the top of a "branch" that extends to approximately 800 m depth."
- Ian Bliss, President and CEO, Northern Shield

Facing Colorado River crunch, Trump admin eyes SoCal groundwater
The situation on the Colorado River — the water supply for 40 million Westerners and half of all Californians — is dire. The waterway's flows have shrunk 20 percent since the turn of the century and climate scientists say it's not unreasonable to think that another 20 percent could be lost in the coming decades. To cities, farmers, tribes and industries from Wyoming to Mexico — but especially in legally vulnerable Arizona — that looks like pain. To the Los Angeles-based water company Cadiz Inc., that looks like opportunity. After trying and failing for more than two decades to pump ancient groundwater from beneath the Mojave Desert and sell it to Southern California water districts, the controversial company has set its sights on new customers over the border in the Grand Canyon State. 'We are hopeful that our projects can support the Bureau's efforts to manage Colorado River resources and Lake Mead,' Cadiz CEO Susan Kennedy (a former chief of staff to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger) said on Wednesday. Her pitch: There's up to 2.5 million acre-feet of untapped water in the Mojave Desert her company can move and store across the arid Southwest. In California, the project is a perpetual political football, opposed by the likes of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was broadly a champion of water projects but was concerned it would harm the desert environment. One former state lawmaker compared the dispute to 'Hatfield and McCoy, Palestinians and the Jews.' Now, Trump is getting in the mix. On Monday, the Interior Department announced plans to sign a memorandum of understanding with the latest incarnation of the project, called the Mojave Groundwater Bank, touting it as 'an important tool to improve drought resiliency in the Colorado River Basin' though recognizing that it is only in 'early development.' And on Tuesday, the Trump administration official leading Colorado River negotiations for the federal government suggested to water power players in Arizona that they consider the project. 'The Cadiz sponsors think they have a lot of groundwater that could go somewhere. If it turns out they are right, would Arizona want to have a conversation about that water?' Scott Cameron, an acting assistant secretary at the Interior Department, asked at a meeting of a state water committee. For the Trump administration, trumpeting Cadiz is a chance to show it's doing something about the Colorado River despite the seven Western states remaining sharply divided over how to divvy up water cuts after current rules expire in 2026. For Cadiz, the endorsement is a political lifeline after decades of in-state opposition — and a return to more favorable treatment under the Trump administration even after the company dumped a lobbying firm with powerful Trump ties, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, after Biden took office. Under the Biden administration, Cadiz rebranded itself as an environmental justice-focused company seeking to fill accessibility gaps in economically depressed regions of the state. Kennedy even expressed concern after the November election that a new Trump administration would push back on its plans to repurpose 80 miles of steel pipe it purchased from the terminated Keystone XL oil pipeline to transport water. Opponents of the project, including conservation groups who say it could harm sensitive desert ecosystems, still see it as the same old concept. 'It's not surprising that an administration that wasted over 2 billion gallons of water under the guise of wildfire response thinks it's a good idea to overdraft a desert aquifer that supports federally protected land,' said Neal Desai, the senior program director for the National Parks Conservation Association. It's likely the project will draw some interest within Arizona, especially among the lowest-priority water users who are desperate to protect their Colorado River supplies as the seven states that share the waterway negotiate over new rules to govern the river. The state has already committed to cutting more than a quarter of its use from the river, and any cuts beyond that will fall first on Central Arizona cities and tribes unless alternative deals can be reached. But it will take a lot more than interest to make a deal happen. Cadiz has run into opposition from California state lawmakers and the State Lands Commission, which after urging from state Sen. Monique Limón and Assemblymember Isaac Bryan told Kennedy in a letter last week not to start construction on the pipeline that would transfer water without agency buy-in, which could take a year to two years. Crucially, Cadiz would almost certainly need buy-in from the long-skeptical Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, because any deals with Arizona would likely include Metropolitan taking Cadiz's water and leaving a portion of its Colorado River water in Lake Mead in exchange. Many of the hurdles Metropolitan has cited in the past, from water quality concerns to operational challenges, remain — and the district's board of directors also includes two prominent California environmentalists. Cadiz has yet to formally approach Metropolitan about its new plan. 'Metropolitan's board does not currently have any pending items from Cadiz to consider and none are planned for the foreseeable future,' Metropolitan spokesperson Rebecca Kimitch said by email. The last time the board reviewed anything from Cadiz was in 2002, when it voted to reject the project, she said. But, amid high-stakes Colorado River negotiations, it might be hard for Metropolitan to say no to a request that could help ease the path to a deal for another state. Like this content?

Huge national school chain files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The economic challenges of operating colleges, secondary, and primary schools can lead to unpleasant consequences for students, staff, and even alumni. Public school districts, in extreme situations, will close a campus and lease or sell the property when it is no longer needed. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter When it comes to private schools, financial distress can result in school closures, the sale of campuses, and, in some cases, bankruptcy filings. Related: Popular restaurant chain franchisee files Chapter 11 bankruptcy A major public university recently revealed that it will shut down one-third of its satellite campuses as a result of growing financial challenges and declining enrollment. Iconic Penn State University in State College, Pa., revealed in May 2025 that it would close seven of its 20 campuses, which are located in DuBois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre, and York, Pa., after two more academic years, University Business reported. Students who have not graduated by the 2026-27 academic year will be counseled on degree completion options and transfers to other Penn State campuses. Two private universities, St. Andrews University in North Carolina and Limestone University in South Carolina, announced in April that they will close at the end of the spring 2025 semester. Both blamed financial difficulties for their demise. Several college and university consolidations and mergers were also revealed in March and April by institutions looking for an answer to declining enrollment. The University System of Georgia said in April that it would consolidate East Georgia State University within Georgia Southern University. Villanova University in Pennsylvania announced in March that it will merge with Rosemont College, which will eventually become Villanova University Rosemont College. Cornish College of Arts in Washington in March, revealed it will change its name after a sale to Seattle University and become Cornish College of Arts at Seattle University.

The debtor operated its Montessori schools under several brands, including Guidepost Montessori, Beacon Elementary, Altitude Learning, TinyCare, and NeighborSchools. The debtor was never able to maintain and generate sufficient liquidity to fund operations since it opened, according to a declaration by company President Jonathan McCarthy. After several prepetition foreclosures and negotiated sales, the debtor's ownership of the Montessori schools plummeted to seven facilities on the petition date. Since 2020, the company has raised $335 million in funding, but the business has never generated positive cash flows from operations. The company reported a $55 million loss in 2024, a $103 million loss in 2023, and a loss of over $106 million in 2022. Higher Ground Education had lost $24.8 million through April in 2025.
