TORONTO, ONTARIO ("Canadian Shield" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Southern Peru Copper Corporation, Sucursal del Peru ("Southern Peru") is mobilizing a diamond drill rig to the Cerro Cori Property located in Ayacucho, Peru. Southern Peru will begin a 9-hole, 2,500 metre drill program in the coming days.

Canadian Shield and Southern Peru signed an earn-in agreement for Cerro Cori in May 2007. Cerro Cori, a high sulfidation epithermal gold prospect with copper gold porphyry potential, is held 100% by Gallant Minerals Peru ("Canadian Shield Subco"), a 90% subsidiary of Canadian Shield. Under terms of the earn-in agreement, Southern Peru is obligated to incur exploration expenditures of US$350,000 within the first year of the earn-in period. Southern Peru may earn a 65% interest in the property by spending a total of $3.5 million over the next 4.5 years and paying $1.5 million to Canadian Shield Subco over the next 24 months. Southern Peru also has the right to earn an additional 10% by completing a bankable feasibility study to acquire a total interest of 75%.

"We are excited to have a company of the scale, experience and calibre of Southern Peru as our joint venture partner on Cerro Cori. We anxiously await results from their drilling and are very pleased to see another one of our nine exploration properties taken to the next step," said Phil Anderson, VP Exploration for Canadian Shield.

Cerro Cori Property

The Cerro Cori Property covers 3,994 hectares and is located east of the town of Puquio and south of the paved highway from Nazca to Cuzco. The property is located in the center of a 35 kilometre wide caldera. Over 100 gold and polymetallic (silver-copper-lead-gold) mineral occurrences are localized along the caldera margin. The past producing Monica Lourdes copper mine is located 10 kilometres west northwest of the property. A grab sample from near surface, secondary enriched vein mineralization hosted in argillically altered volcanic rocks returned 4.39% copper. North Mining Ltd. ("North Mining") explored Cerro Cori in the late 1990s. North Mining completed drill target selection and road construction but all exploration on the property stopped when North Mining was purchased by Rio Tinto Zinc.

The hydrothermal alteration on the property is of major scale and could be associated with an underlying copper gold porphyry system. The combination of geologic features and easy access to the property make Cerro Cori an excellent exploration opportunity.
