Northern Lights Commences Exploration at the Pup Project

Executive Summary

• Northern Lights Resources has begun ground‑based exploration on its 100% owned Pup Project, focusing on magnetic surveying, soil geochemistry, prospecting and hand trenching.
• The primary target, the Petal Zone, shows a strong copper anomaly (up to 3.799 % Cu in grab samples) with accompanying gold (≤138 ppb) and silver (≤3.0 ppm) values; two additional targets, Gismo and Finn, also display notable base‑metal and precious‑metal grades.
• The work is intended to refine and prioritize all three zones for future advanced exploration phases.

Key Details

• Project Scope: 64 quartz claims covering ~1,300 ha, located ~10 km west of Dawson City; accessible via rough dirt roads near two active placer gold mines.
• Petal Zone:
• Length ≈ 850 m, width up to 400 m. Soil Cu values up to 2,962.9 ppm; localized gold up to 138 ppb, silver up to 3.0 ppm.
• Hand trenching exposed oxidized quartz‑biotite‑chlorite schist mineralized with malachite/azurite; grab samples returned up to 3.799 % Cu.
• Gismo Zone: (~2 km NE of Petal) 200 m wide area; rock sample grades: Au up to 201.3 ppb, Cu up to 643.2 ppm, Mo up to 109.9 ppm, Ag up to 2.9 g/t; soil Cu up to 388.5 ppm. Target remains open east‑west.
• Finn Zone: (~1.5 km SW of Petal) Limited historic work; rock samples with up to 3,082 ppm Cu, soil Cu up to 535 ppm.
• Geological Context: Situated in the Yukon Tanana Terrane, a region hosting numerous Cu‑Au porphyry systems, VHMS base‑metal targets and orogenic gold deposits.
• Exploration Activities Commenced: Ground magnetic surveying, systematic soil geochemical sampling, prospecting, hand trenching, collection of samples for thin‑section petrographic analysis.
• Qualified Person: Lee R. Beasley, CPGe, reviewed all data in accordance with NI 43‑101 standards and consents to its inclusion.

Notable Quotes

“We are excited to commence exploration on the highly prospective Pup Project. Initial work will be primarily focused on the Petal Zone, an intense copper +/- gold‑silver soil anomaly that has already yielded high‑grade grab samples with up to 3.799 % copper.” – Jason Bahnsen, CEO, Northern Lights Resources Corp.
