Permit Received To Drill Tin Cup Prospect At Secret Pass

VANCOUVER - Northern Lights Resources Corp. has received approval from the Arizona State Land Department (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 4th drill hole (total approximately 600 meters) out of the total 22 permitted drill holes located on mineral claims registered with the US Bureau of Land Management (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, said, "Historic RC drilling at Tin Cup in the 1980s intersected steeply 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 meters, well below the maximum historic drilling depth of 180 meters. 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 meters 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 meters below the surface.
