Canadian Shield Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: EXP) ("Canadian Shield" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Keith Laskowski as President of the Company.

Mr. Laskowski stated "Canadian Shield has an ideal combination of gold programs. The strong management team has positioned the Company to benefit from the global financial crisis, by focusing on new gold discoveries and by seeking potential gold production. We have a portfolio of 7 gold projects in Peru, and we are finalizing terms for a regional exploration alliance with Kinross, the fifth largest gold producer, to explore for new gold deposits in Peru. We are also pursuing acquisitions of advanced-stage gold resources with potential for near-term production. This combination of new gold exploration and potential gold production makes this a very exciting opportunity."

(formerly Harrods Minerals Ltd.) and developed a portfolio of gold properties in southern Peru which were acquired by Canadian Shield in September 2004. From 2005-2007, Mr. Laskowski acquired a portfolio of uranium properties and served as Vice President & Director of Northern Canadian Uranium Inc., which was acquired by Bayswater Uranium Corporation in late 2007.
