Drilling Begins at Tin Cup, Secret Pass
Drilling Begins at Tin Cup
Vancouver, British Columbia . November 12, 2021, Northern Lights Resources
Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE: NLR, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to
announce that it has commenced core drilling at the Tin Cup prospect at the Secret Pass
Gold Project in Arizona.
Godbe Drilling have been appointed as the drilling contractor. Drilling on the first hole
(TC21-02) at Tin Cup began on Wednesday, November 11.
CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented “After several months of delay, we are excited to
begin drilling at the Tin Cup prospect. Tin Cup was an operating gold mine in the early
1900s with a reported average production grade of over 1/2 ounce of gold per ton. Historic
RC drilling at Tin Cup in the 1980s intersected steeply angled veins with grades up to 40
grams per tonne gold. Our initial drilling at Tin Cup will focus on confirming the high-grade
gold mineralization identified by the historic RC drilling.”
Seven exploration drill holes have been approved at the Tin Cup Prospect (total 1,350
metres planned), see Table 1. Initially, 4 drill holes out of the permitted holes will be drilled
(TC21-02, TC21-03, TC21-04, TC21-06), targeting the confirmation of historic high-grade
mineralization that was identified by historic reverse circulation (RC) drilling in the 1980s
(see Table 2).

The Tin Cup drilling is being led by Mr. Lee Beasley, who has recently joined the Northern
Lights team as Project Geologist. Lee is an experienced exploration geologist with over
10 years of field experience working on precious, base metal and lithium exploration
projects throughout North America. Lee is a Certified Professional Geologist and holds a
Bachelor of Science and Masters degrees in geology from Auburn University in Alabama,

Tin Cup Zone
Records show that there was a historic small -scale open pit and underground mine
located at Tin Cup. The mine reportedly produced several hundred tons of mineralized
material grading 15 g/t to 31 g/t of gold. Historic workings, from approximately 1918 to the
early 1930s, included an open pit and an inclined shaft to a depth of 21 metres (70 ft) with
minor underground level workings.
During the period from 1984 to 1991, a total of 145 drill holes (predominately reverse
circulation drilling) were drilled at Tin Cup with many holes intersecting high-grade gold
mineralization. The historic drilling had an average depth of approximately 95 metres and
a maximum depth of 180 metres.
The Tin Cup Gold Zone is localized along the steeply northeast -dipping Frisco Mine
Fault. The gold mineralization is hosted by Tertiary andesite and associated with the
margins of rhyolite dykes that occur as lenses within the Frisco Mine Fault. A few of the
deepest historic drill holes intersect ed gold mineralization in the Proterozoic basement
granite.
The mineralized zone at Tin Cup has a strike length of approximately 245 metres to drill
indicated depth of 180 metres and is open along strike an d depth. High er grade
mineralization (greater than 10 g/t Au ), is localized in narrow sub -vertical structures
developed within broader zones of lower grade mineralization ranging up to 86 metres in
width. The mineralization plunges to the northwest at 50 degrees. Surface oxidation is
variable extending to a maximum depth of up to 120 metres based on historical drilling.
Selected historic intersections are summarized in Table 2.
