Northern Lights Reports Results of 2025 Exploration at the Pup Copper Project

Executive Summary

• Northern Lights Resources reports that its 2025 work program at the Pup Copper Project has advanced the Petal Zone to drill‑decision status and delivered strong geochemical and geological results across the Petal, Finn, and Gismo zones.
• Soil sampling expanded the copper anomaly at Petal to ~1 km × 400 m with values up to 2,962.9 ppm Cu (and up to 138 ppb Au, 3.0 ppm Ag); grab samples returned up to 3.799% Cu.
• The project secured a Class 3 exploration permit on 29 Oct 2025, enabling drilling, trenching, trail construction and limited road building for the next phase of value‑driving exploration.

Key Details

• Petal Zone
• Soil anomaly ~1,000 m long × 400 m wide; open to NW & SE.
• Highest soil Cu: 2,962.9 ppm; Au up to 138 ppb; Ag up to 3.0 ppm.
• Hand trenching exposed malachite/azurite‑bearing quartz–chlorite–epidote schist; grab samples up to 3.799% Cu.
• Magnetic survey shows correlation between magnetic intensity and elevated soil Cu.
• Finn Zone
• Located ~1.5 km SW of Petal.
• Soil Cu anomalous values up to 2,085.8 ppm; grab samples up to 3,082 ppm Cu.
• Gismo Zone
• ~2.0 km NE of Petal; ~200 m wide target.
• Rock sample values: Au up to 201.3 ppb, Cu up to 643.2 ppm, Mo 109.9 ppm, Ag 2.9 g/t.
• Soil Cu up to 632.3 ppm; zone open east & west.
• Exploration Permit
• Received Class 3 permit (valid 10 years) on 29 Oct 2025 permitting drilling, trenching, trail construction and limited road building.
• Geological Interpretation
• Primary host at Petal: quartz–chlorite–epidote schist derived from mafic‑intermediate protolith; similar to Yukon’s Minto Copper Belt deposits.
• Petal underlain by quartz‑chlorite‑epidote schist in contact/interfingered with quartz‑sericite‑limonite unit (possible rhyolitic volcanics).
• Project Scope
• 90 quartz claims (~1,820 ha) located ~10 km west of Dawson City; accessible via rough dirt roads near two active placer gold mines.
• Management Comment
• CEO Luka Capin: “Petal is now at drill‑decision stage… we are eager to undertake a value‑driving drill program…”

Notable Quotes

“We are pleased to report that our 2025 Pup program has brought Petal to the drill‑decision stage, while Finn and Gismo continue to yield strong results. Several factors support drill readiness: the development of a prospective geological model… the receipt of a robust exploration permit.” – Luka Capin, CEO
