Airborne Geophysics Results
September 9, 2020 CSE Symbol: NLR
Vancouver, British Columbia. Northern Lights Resources Corp. (the “Company” or
“Northern Lights”) is pleased to announce the results of the airborne geophysics surveys
at the Company’s Secret Pass Gold Project (“Secret Pass” of the “ Project”) located in
Mohave County, northwestern Arizona. The airborne geophysics surveys are part of the
Company’s Phase 1 exploration program for the Project announced on February 10,
2020.
MWH Geo-surveys International Inc of Reno Nevada were commissioned by Northern
Lights to undertake digital orthophotography, Digital Surface Model (DSM) and magnetic
surveys of the project area using UAV drone aircraft. The surveys were completed in two
sorties in May and July 2020. The interpretation of the airborne geophysics survey results
were completed by SR McMullan, P.Geo, Consultant Geophysicist.
The airborne magnetic survey has identified 11 geophysical targets on the Secret Pass
property. (See Figures 1 and 2 – targets M01 to M11).

The southern anomalies, M-05 and M-06 are considered the highest priority and show a
close relationship with the Frisco Fault. The northern anomalies are associated with west-
northwest riedel structures developed between the Frisco and Union Pass Faults. These
structures have controlled the emplacement of Tertiary felsic dykes that often host both
disseminated and vein controlled gold mineralization.
Fault related, magnetite destructive alteration is commonly associated with gold
mineralization at Secret Pass. The alteration comprises an assemblage of chlorite -
sericite-clay-silica ± adularia and is expressed by strong magnetic lows. This type of
alteration is well exposed in outcrop along the Frisco Fa ult and observed in drill holes at
the Tin Cup and FM prospects.
With reference to Figure 2, a number of weak to moderate spectral anomalies were
defined on the Secret Pass property by a USGS spectral survey. The anomalies may in
part be related to silica -sericite altered felsic dyke swarms which show a close spatial
relationship with gold mineralization on a property scale.
The geophysical interpretation results show five key observations that are significant with
respect to the potential for gold mineralization at Secret Pass.
1. The host rocks in the Secret Pass area have a low magnetic response. Epithermal
alteration associated with gold mineralization in the Oatman Gold District is exclusively
magnetite-destructive.
2. The Frisco Mine Fault has a distinct magnetic response manifested by a strong
susceptibility low at the FM prospect. This magnetic low developed at anomalies
M-05 and M-06, can be traced for approximately 1200 m eters and is confined to
the Tertiary andesite and basalt units.
3. The FM gold zone is located at a higher elevation compared to Tin Cup. Based on the
Oatman model, the FM zone could have potential for high grade gold
mineralization developed in boiling zones located below the limits of the historical
shallow drilling.
4. At Tin Cup, the gold mineralization is related to a weak magnetic high which appears
to reflect the propylitically altered andesitic host rock. This alteration featur e is
thought to represent the deeper, higher temperature roots of the Oatman
epithermal gold model.

5. Magnetic anomalies M-01 to M-04 and M-07, are localized along regional faults and
occur at low elevations. The magnetic anomalies may be related to fault controlled
silica-sericite alteration. There has been no historic exploration work completed
along these regional faults.”
Chief Geologist Mr Gary Artmont commented “The results for historical exploration at
Secret Pass show a clear assoc iation between gold mineralization , structure and
alteration. The magnetic survey work just completed has identified 11 targets for potential
gold mineralization at Secret Pass. With the exception of the Tin Cup and FM zones,
virtually no exploration work has been conducted on any of these targets. Potential for
the discovery of additional gold mineralization outside of the Tin Cup and FM prospect is
considered high.”
Over 30 shafts, adits and surface gold workings have been identified on the 856 hectare
Secret Pass license area. The identified geological and geophysical targets will be subject
to a detailed exploration program over the coming months that includes surface mapping,
rock and soil sampling. The significant anomalies will be followed up with trenching and
IP geophysics to define targets for drilling.
