OTTAWA, ON, July 17, 2023 /CNW/ – Northern Shield Resources Inc. (“Northern Shield” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce that the Company has received a favourable judgement from the Court of Quebec in a litigation case against the Quebec Revenue Agency.

The crux of the dispute related to the non-receipt of various notices of assessment refusing significant tax credits relating to mineral resources to which the Company wished to object. Northern Shield never received the 2017 and 2018 Notices of Assessment allowing it to object within 90 days of receipt of such notices.

The Court of Quebec ruled in the Company’s favour with the practical consequence of the judgement being that Northern Shield’s right to object to the notices of assessment in dispute has been restored.

A similar denial of tax credits had been placed on the Company’s 2016 Quebec Tax Return and Mining Tax Return which was eventually fully settled by the Quebec Revenue Agency in the Company’s favour in 2021 after Northern Shield filed a Notice of Objection and subsequently commenced a judicial litigation case.

The Quebec Revenue Agency has 30 days to appeal the judge’s decision.
