Northern Lights Receives Permit to Drill
Tin Cup Prospect at Secret Pass
Vancouver, British Columbia . June 8, 2021, Northern Lights Resources Corp.
(“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE: NLR, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to announce
that it has received approval from the Arizona State Land Department ( the “ASLD”) to
commence drilling at the Tin Cup Prospect at the Company’s Secret Pass Gold Project
(“Secret Pass”) in Mohave County, Arizona.
Northern Lights began drilling at Secret Pass on April 15 and is now completing the 4rth
drill hole (total approximately 600 metres) out of the total 22 permitted drill holes located
on mineral claims registered with the US Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”). The
prospects drilled included Fiery Squid, Nine Second Shaft and Fluorspar Ridge locations.
(See Figure 1) All drill core has been split and sent to Skyline Laboratories in Tucson,
assays are pending.
CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented “Historic RC drilling at Tin Cup in the 1980s
intersected steep ly angled veins with grades up to 40 grams per tonne gold. We are
excited to begin drilling at Tin Cup where we plan to confirm the previous high-grade RC
results with large diameter HQ diamond core drilling and test the system to a depth of
approximately 350 metres, well below the maximum historic drilling depth of 180 metres.
We are completing drilling at the Fluorspar Ridge Prospect and will immediately move the
drill to the Tin Cup Prospect to begin the planned 7-hole program.”
Seven exploration drill holes have been approved at the Tin Cup Prospect (total 1,350
metres planned) The initial drill program at Tin Cup is planned to confirm high -grade
mineralization from historic drilling and to test the down plunge extension of the
mineralization to a depth of approximately 350 metres below the surface.

Tin Cup Zone
Records show that there was an 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 1930’s, 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 a number of 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 gold mineralization in the P roterozoic 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.
