Secret Pass Drill and Rock Sampling Assay Results

VANCOUVER - Northern Lights Resources Corp. reported on 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.

From January to February 2021, Northern Lights collected 77 rock chip samples from the vicinity of old workings outside of the Tin Cup Zone. The assays results show a high concentration of gold associated with historical workings controlled along a northwest trending series of rhyolitic dykes intruding andesite and granite gneiss. Significant gold values occur in a strongly altered and fractured zone that extends from Sam's Ridge to Boomerang Lake, a distance of 4000 meters. Limited surface exploration has been undertaken in this favorable 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 detection 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. 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.

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 meters 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. 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 meters from 21.76m to 22.66 meters, 3.15 g/t gold over 1.0 meters from, 27.3m to 28.3m and 3.74 g/t gold over 0.9 meters 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.

CEO, Jason Bahnsen, said, "While we were hoping for better results from the four prospect holes 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 areas 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 the project and identify additional gold anomalies for future drilling. The Company is looking forward to beginning drilling at Tin Cup in Q4."
