Secret Pass Gold Project Tin Cup Exploration Plan Update

VANCOUVER - Northern Lights Resources Corp. announced the exploration plan for the Tin Cup prospect at the Secret Pass Gold Project in Mohave County, Arizona. Following on from the success of the initial four holes completed, Northern Lights is planning to expand the exploration program at Secret Pass to include the drilling of three (3) additional holes at Tin Cup and two (2) drill holes at the FM Zone, which is located approximately 500 meters east of Tin Cup. All five (5) proposed drill holes are fully permitted.

Prior to initiating the second phase of drilling, Northern Lights is planning to complete a deep penetrating Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the claim area covering the Tin Cup and FM zones. This survey will explore to depths of ~400 meters and will assist in refining existing targets and identifying new drill targets associated with zones of high chargeability located along strike and to depth.  The IP survey area will cover the gold anomaly generated from the soil sampling program completed in 2021. This soil survey identified a significant gold soil anomaly approximately 1,100 meters in length and up to 400 meters wide.

CEO, Jason Bahnsen, said, "The initial drilling at Tin Cup has been very successful and has confirmed the presence of wide zones of gold mineralization. The next phase of drilling will test the Tin Cup mineralization at depth and further along strike. We also have two holes permitted to drill at the FM Zone where we are targeting vertical vein structures similar to Tin cup. The proposed holes are fully permitted with drilling to commence pending financing and availability of drilling contractors."

The first four drill holes completed at Tin Cup showed confirmation of gold mineralization from surface to a maximum depth of approximately 90 meters. The three additional holes planned have been fully permitted and will test the down plunge extension of the gold mineralization. Drill hole TC21-06 is planned for 400 meters at a 55 degree dip to test the mineralization at depth. The other two drill holes TC22-07 and TC22-08 will test the mineralization along strike.

At the Tin Cup zone, drilling at depth will test the potential for an epithermal quartz vein system similar to the Oatman District. The geology of the Tin Cup zone shares similarities of the upper parts of the Oatman gold system. The Secret Pass drilling will target both the upper broad zone of stockwork veining and the deeper, more discreet ‘bonanza' veining.
