NORTHERN LIGHTS ANNOUNCES START OF SUMMER EXPLORATION CAMPAIGN AT THE PUP COPPER PROJECT

Northern Lights Resources Corp. has commenced its 2026 work program at the Pup copper project, located in Yukon, Canada.

The fully financed program will include excavator trenching and drill pad construction in support of a proposed 10-hole, 600-metre shallow scout reverse circulation drill program. Drilling will be designed to test near-surface targets at the Gismo and Petal zones. Surface geochemical sampling and prospecting will also be completed to further assess other soil, rock and magnetic anomalies identified by 2025 fieldwork.

Petal is an open-ended, 1,000-metre-long-by-400-metre-wide zone with rock grab sample values of up to 3.799 per cent copper and soil sample values of up to 2,962.9 parts per million copper. Gismo is an open-ended, approximately 100-metre-wide zone with widespread anomalous copper plus or minus molybdenum/gold/silver. Both zones share geological similarities, with targets located in the Minto copper belt.

Pup is located approximately 10 kilometres west of the regional centre of Dawson City. It consists of 90 quartz claims totalling approximately 1,820 hectares and is accessible through a network of dirt roads leading to two active placer gold mines. The project holds a Class 3 exploration permit, valid for 10 years from Oct. 29, 2025, allowing for drilling, trenching, trail construction and limited road building.

Luka Capin, chief executive officer of Northern Lights, commented: "The 2025 field season significantly advanced our understanding of Pup and provided the technical basis for the maiden drill program. The copper oxide mineralization observed in trenches and strongly anomalous copper-in-soil values point to a compelling near-surface copper exploration opportunity across multiple target areas. This phase 1 reconnaissance drill program is fully permitted and financed and will mark Northern Lights' first direct test of bedrock beneath these anomalies. Together with our ongoing work at Horetzky and Secret Pass, 2026 is shaping up to be our most active exploration year to date."
