Northern Lights Acquires the Pup Copper Project in the Yukon

Vancouver, British Columbia. September 18 , 2024, Northern Lights Resources

Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE: NLR, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to

announce it has entered into an option agreement with veteran prospector Bernie Kreft

(“Kreft”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Pup Copper Project (“Pup” or the “Project”),

located in the Yukon Territory.

Pup Project Highlights:

• The Project is located approximately 10 kilometres west of the regional centre of

Dawson City. It consists of 64 quartz claims totalling approximately 1,300 hectares

and is accessible via a network of rough 4x4 roads leading to placer gold mines

located along the south edge of the property.

• The Project is situated within the mineral rich Yukon Tanana Terrane, host to

numerous significant Cu-Au porphyry, VHMS base metal and orogenic gold type

targets, deposits or past producing mines.

• Pup is host to an approximate 850 metre long by up to 400 metre wide copper in

soil anomaly, possibly open to the southeast, with values of up to 2,962.9 ppm

copper, within which are several areas with anomalous Au up to 138 ppb and Ag

up to 3.0 ppm.

• Limited hand trenching within the copper soil anomaly has encountered oxidized,

weathered and foliated propylitically altered quartz -biotite-chlorite bedrock

mineralized with disseminated, fracture controlled and quartz vein hosted

malachite and azurite along with lesser magnetite, hematite and rare pyrite. Grab

samples of this material have returned up to 3.799% copper.

Northern Lights, CEO, Jason Bahnsen commented : “We are excited to add the Pup

property to our growing portfolio of copper projects. Excellent access, an intriguing

geological setting and a robust copper soil anomaly of significant size and excellent tenor

that has yet to be mechanically trenched or drilled were major selling points to us. We

also look forward to working with the vendor, Bernie Kreft, who has a strong track record

of exploration and discovery, in the further advancement of this project.”
