Northern Lights begins exploration at Pup

Executive Summary

• Northern Lights Resources has begun field exploration at the Pup project in Yukon, focusing on the high‑grade copper‑soil anomaly (Petal zone) and two additional copper targets (Gismo and Finn).
• Initial ground work includes magnetic surveying, soil geochemical sampling, prospecting, hand trenching, and thin‑section sample collection.
• Early grab samples from Petal have returned up to 3.799 % Cu, with notable gold (up to 138 ppb) and silver (up to 3.0 ppm) anomalies, indicating strong exploration potential.

Key Details

• Project Scope: Ground magnetic survey, soil geochemical sampling, prospecting, hand trenching, thin‑section analysis across three priority zones – Petal, Gismo, Finn.
• Petal Zone: ~850 m long × up to 400 m wide; Cu values up to 2,962.9 ppm; gold up to 138 ppb, silver up to 3.0 ppm; grab samples show 3.799 % Cu; mineralization includes malachite, azurite, magnetite, hematite in quartz‑biotite‑chlorite schist.
• Gismo Zone: ~2 km NE of Petal; 200 m wide; rock samples: 201.3 ppb Au, 643.2 ppm Cu, 109.9 ppm Mo, 2.9 g/t Ag; soil Cu up to 388.5 ppm; open to east and west.
• Finn Zone: ~1.5 km SW of Petal; historic shows with malachite‑stained quartz‑sericite schist; rock samples up to 3,082 ppm Cu; soil Cu up to 535 ppm.
• Land Position: 64 quartz claims (~1,300 ha) located ~10 km west of Dawson City, accessible via rough dirt roads near two active placer gold mines.
• Geological Setting: Situated in the Yukon Tanana terrane, known for Cu‑Au porphyry systems, VHMS base‑metal targets, and orogenic gold deposits.
• Qualified Person: Lee R. Beasley, P.Geo., reviewed all exploration data per NI 43‑101 standards.
