[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2021 / Northern Lights Resources Corp. (\"Northern Lights\" or the \"Company\") (CSE:NLR)(OTCQB:NLRCF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced core drilling at the Tin Cup prospect at the Secret Pass Gold Project in Arizona. Godbe Drilling have been appointed as the drilling contractor. Drilling on the first hole (TC21-02) at Tin Cup began on Wednesday, November 11. CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented \"After several months of delay, we are excited to begin drilling at the Tin Cup prospect. Tin Cup was an operating gold mine in the early 1900s with a reported average production grade of over 1/2 ounce of gold per ton. Historic RC drilling at Tin Cup in the 1980s intersected steeply angled veins with grades up to 40 grams per tonne gold. Our initial drilling at Tin Cup will focus on confirming the high-grade gold mineralization identified by the historic RC drilling.\" Seven exploration drill holes have been approved at the Tin Cup Prospect (total 1,350 metres planned), see Table 1. Initially, 4 drill holes out of the permitted holes will be drilled (TC21-02, TC21-03, TC21-04, TC21-06), targeting the confirmation of historic high-grade mineralization that was identified by historic reverse circulation (RC) drilling in the 1980s (see Table 2).

Tin Cup Zone Records show that there was a historic small-scale open pit and underground mine located at Tin Cup. The mine reportedly produced several hundred tons of mineralized material grading 15 g/t to 31 g/t of gold. Historic workings, from approximately 1918 to the early 1930s, inc...
