VANCOUVER, Nov. 15, 2012 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corporation ("Callinan") has signed an agreement with Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern") whereby Callinan has invested $700,000 in Northern by way of a non-brokered private placement.

Under the agreement, Callinan has acquired 6,363,636 units of Northern at a price of $0.11 per unit.  Each unit under the private placement consists of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles Callinan to purchase one additional common share of Northern at an exercise price of $0.22 for a period of two years.

In addition, Callinan has paid Northern $300,000 to acquire a royalty option on one of six properties in Northern's Storm property group located in northern Ontario. The properties have in recent years demonstrated the potential for volcanic-hosted massive sulfide base metal deposits over a large area and are also considered prospective for magmatic platinum group element deposits and other mineral deposit types.

The royalty option allows Callinan to acquire a 1% Net Smelter Returns royalty by paying Northern $2 million at any time up to the later of five years or the mine development stage. Northern has also granted to Callinan a Right of First Refusal on the sale of any royalties on the Storm property group owned by Northern.

Callinan is pleased to enter this mutually beneficial arrangement with Northern.  A key part of Callinan's royalty creation strategy is to invest with select exploration companies such as Northern that apply the prospect generation business model to explore new regions. Callinan will become a significant shareholder in Northern while holding a royalty option in an emerging significant mineral district in Canada.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Roland Butler
