Initial Drill Program on Tin Cup, Secret Pass Completed
Tin Cup - Initial Drill Program Completed
Vancouver, British Columbia . December 16, 2021, Northern Lights Resources
Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE: NLR, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to
announce the completion of the initial drill program at the Tin Cup prospect at NLR’s 100%
owned Secret Pass Gold Project in Mohave County, Arizona.
Four diamond core drill holes, totalling 610 metres, have been completed at Tin Cup. The
focus of this initial drill prog ram is to confirm the gold miner alization that was previously
identified by reverse circulation drilling in the 1980s and to test the structure of the
mineralization below the depth of historic drilling. See Table 1 and Figure 1.
CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented “The Tin Cup prospect was a key focus of the
acquisition of the Secret Pass Gold Project. We are excited to have completed this initial
drill program. All four drill holes completed show the presence of strong mineralization
and the core samples have now been dispatched to the l ab for assay. We anticipate
receiving the drill assay results in the early New Year along with the results of the soil
sampling survey we completed in October over the entire property. ”
All four drill holes intercepted zones of moderate to strong mineralization within the altered
andesite and rhyolite dikes. The mineralization of fracture fill and disseminated pyrite
occurs within sections of moderate to strong hematite and propylitic alteration with weak
to moderate sericite and silicifi cation. Brecciated and gouge filled fault zones were
encountered in both drill holes with disseminated pyrite present. Gold mineralization at
the Tin Cup is primarily associated with the northwest trending structures and splays,
predominantly in the andesite and margins of the rhyolite dikes.

Tin Cup Prospect
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 and 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.
