Secret Pass Drill and Rock Sampling Assay Results

and Operations Update

Vancouver, British Columbia. August 27, 2021, Northern Lights Resources Corp.

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

the assay results from the four prospect drill holes that have been completed and the

results of a rock chip sampling program completed on the northern portion of project

claims. The Company also is announcing the commencement of a property wide soil

sampling program at Secret Pass Gold Project in Arizona and the Medicine Springs

Project.

Secret Pass – Rock/ Soil Sampling Program

From January to February 2021, Northern Lights collected 77 rock chip samples from the

vicinity of old workings outside of the Tin Cup Zone as illustrated in Figure 1. The assays

results show a high concentration of gold associated with historical working s controlled

along a northwest trending series of rhyolitic dykes intruding andesite and granite gneiss

(see Table 1).

Significant gold values occur in a strongly altered and fractured zone that extends from

Sam’s Ridge to Boomerang Lake, a distance of 4000 metres. Limited surface exploration

has been undertaken in this favourable alteration zone.

Out of the total number of samples taken over 39 samples assayed over 0.5 grams per

tonne gold containing 12 samples assaying over 5 grams per tonne gold containing 5

samples assaying over 10 grams per tonne gold. The highest grade sample assayed was

26.7 grams per tonne gold.

The rock chip samples were assayed at Skyline Laboratories in Tucson. Rocks were fire

assayed for Au and Ag with a gravimetric finish with a detectio n limit of 0.005 and 0.1

grams per tonne respectively. A second sample split was digested in Aqua Regia and

analyzed for a 49 element suite by ICP-MS.

On August 19, the company commenced a 900 soil sampling program over the entire

license area at Secret Pass. Once collected the samples will be sent to SGS Laboratories

in Burnaby, British Columbia for assay using Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) and interpreted at

SGS Lakefield, Ontario. The soil sampling program is being completed on a 50m x 200m

grid spacing.

Secret Pass Drilling Update

The Company has received assays from the four holes drilled at Secret Pass (Fiery Squid,

Fluorspar Ridge, 9 Second Shaft) that were completed, from April to July 2021 as

illustrated in Figure 2.

The two holes drilled at Fiery Squid encountered gold mineralization. The holes drilled at

Fluorspar Ridge and 9 Second Shaft did not report any material gold mineralization.

Fiery Squid drill hole #1 encountered mineralization at a depth of 56.2 metres that

assayed 9.09 grams of gold per tonne over a sample width of 0.90 meters. This

intersection is associated with a thin fracture of manganese with the presence of small

grains of visible gold as reported by the Company on May 5, 2021.

Drill hole #2 at Fiery Squid encountered three mineralized intersections with gold values

associated with a hydrothermal breccia zone contacts in the upper portion of the hole .

The reported assays from this zone included 1.92 g/t gold over 0.9 metres from 21.76m

to 22.66 metres, 3.15 g/t gold over 1 .0 metres from, 27.3m to 2 8.3m and 3.7 4 g/t gold

over 0.9 metres from 29.4 to 30.3 m.

The Company has secured the services of a drilling contractor to complete the permitted

drill program at the Tin Cup Prospect. Northern Lights is permitted to drill a total of seven

holes at Tin Cup where historic reverse circulation returned grade intervals of up to 40

grams per tonne. Drilling at Tin Cup is planned to commence in Q4 2021.

Northern Lights CEO, Jason Bahnsen commented “ While we were hoping for better

results from the four prospect hole s we drilled at Fiery Squid, 9 Second Shaft and

Fluorspar Ridge, the outstanding surface sampling results highlight the presence of high-

grade gold in the prospect area s drilled. These sample results, combined with our

upcoming MMI soils program, which is now underway across the entire project area, will

assist in building an overall geological model for th e project and identify additional gold

anomalies for future drilling. The Company is looking forward to begin ning drilling at Tin

Cup in Q4.”

Medicine Spring Silver Project - JV with Reyna Silver Corp

The exploration program at Medicine Springs Silver Project in Elko County , Nevada,

Reyna Silver currently has a team on the ground at Medicine Springs completing a rock

sampling program focused on the identification of jasperoids for mapping the potential

mineralization footprint on the project area . Approximately 700 samples are being

collected across several previously identified anomalous areas.

Northern Lights is exploring the Medicine Springs Project in joint venture with Reyna

Silver Corp. (TSX.V: RSLV) with Reyna having the option to acquire 75% of the project

by completing total exploration expenditures of US$4 million (Northern Lights 25%).

Reyna Silver is acting as the operator for the project exploration work under the guidance

of Dr. Peter Megaw. (See October 5, 2020 announcement for complete terms of the

Option/Joint Venture agreement with Reyna Silver.)
