Labrador Gold Corp ( (TSE:LAB) ) has provided an update.

Labrador Gold Corp has invested just over $1 million to acquire 16,666,667 subscription receipts of Northern Shield Resources Inc. at $0.06 each, in a deal that could give LabGold roughly an 11% stake in Northern Shield on a non-diluted basis and nearly 20% on a partially diluted basis once warrants are exercised. The funds are being held in escrow pending shareholder and regulatory approval of LabGold’s proposed change of business from a pure exploration company to an exploration and investment issuer, a move that would allow it to continue field work while building a portfolio of resource-sector equity holdings. The investment grants LabGold pre-emptive rights to maintain at least a 10% equity position in future Northern Shield financings and the ability to appoint a technical advisor to influence exploration strategy at Northern Shield, signaling a more active, strategic investment approach that could strengthen LabGold’s position in the junior mining sector while adding another layer of potential upside for investors.
