Northern Lights Completes IP Survey on Secret Pass
Secret Pass IP-Res Interpretation
December 1, 2020 CSE Symbol: NLR
Vancouver, British Columbia. Northern Lights Resources Corp. (the “Company” or
“Northern Lights”) is pleased to announce an update to exploration work at the Company’s
100% owned Secret Pass Gold Project (“Secret Pass” of the “Project”) located in Mohave
County, northwestern Arizona.
Northern Lights has completed a reinterpretation and review of Induced Polarization (IP)
and Resistivity su rvey data that was initially collected by Santa Fe Mining in 1992. The
results complement the magnetic survey and field work that Northern Lights has
completed on the property to date, that has resulted in the generation of over 20 targets
in previously unexplored areas on the Secret Pass property.
The primary objective of the survey was to determine if IP and Resistivity was effective in
detecting the silica-clay-pyrite alteration associated with gold mineralization observed at
the Tin Cup and FM prospects. The results highlight the importance of the Frisco Mine
Fault (FMF) has a geological control for the gold mineralization at Secret Pass.
With reference to Figure 1, five small Gradient Array grids were completed and a single
Dipole-Dipole profile located in proximity to the FMF and in areas exhibiting strong
surface alteration and mineralization . The reinterpretation of the geophysical data
demonstrates that the Secret Pass gold mineralization exhibits a positive coincident IP
and Resistivity response. The geophysical study was undertaken by Steven McMullan,
an experienced geophysical consultant that wrote the Secret Pass aeromagnetic report
for NLR in August of 2020. (see https://www.northernlightsresources.com/site/assets/files/4976/nlr_new_release_-

The study completed by Northern Lights involved the digitization of historical
geophysical IP and Resistivity data, geo-referencing the survey grids and undertaking
2D inversion of the data.

Reinterpretation Summary
The important observations and conclusions for each grid and Dipole -Dipole profile are
summarized below.
F2 Grid
• Moderate strength IP anomaly likely represents sulphide mineralization and the
resistivity high map represents silicification.
F5 Grid
• Collinear bands of high IP and R esistivity fits the conceptual model response of
quartz veins/silicification (high resistivity) and sulphides associated with gold
mineralization (high IP response).
F4+F4B Grid
• The irregular IP anomaly on north si de of grid likely represents intersection of
structures/dykes.

FM Grid
• Multiple high IP anomalies in footwall of the FMF may be related sulphide
mineralization similar to Tin Cup and have not been drill tested.
TC (Tin Cup) Grid
• The high IP anomaly in northwest corner of the grid has not been tested.
• FMF interpreted from 2020 aeromagnetic survey passes through the centre of grid,
which places high IP and high Resistivity (indicative of both sulphides and
silicification) in the hangwall of the FMF.
TC (Tin Cup) Dipole-Dipole Profile
• Two structures are evident, i) east structure steeply west dipping with low Resistivity
and no correlating IP response , ii) c entral structure manifested by subvertical
Resistivity high that is indicative of silicification and quartz veining and is coincident
with a high IP response that continues into hangingwall. The IP anomaly is indicative
of sulphides associated with mineralization developed in the FMF.
Discussion
Although the IP survey grids were limited in size, their location was optimal for studying
the geophysical characteristics of the Secret Pass gold mineralization and its relationship
with the Frisco Mine Fault system.
A single Dipole-Dipole line transected the main zone of mineralization at Tin Cup that was
extensively drilled. With reference to the Dipole-Dipole profile in Figure 1, the 0.2 g/t gold
grade shell is associated a strong IP response that has not be closed off by drilling to the
west. The IP response is related disseminated pyrite that is associated with strong silica-
clay-carbonate alteration. The sub-vertical Resistivity high is indicative of silicification and
quartz veining which was commonly observed in the drill holes.
In conclusion, the IP -Resistivity technique is effective in mapping the style of gold
mineralization observed at Secret Pass. Based on the results from this study, Northern
Lights plans to conduct additional IP -Resistivity surveying in areas that display strong
alteration and are proximal to the Frisco Mine Fault.
