[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – 12 March 2026 – TheNewswire - Northern Lights Resources Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE: NLR) (OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to announce results for its 2025 work program at the Pup Copper Project (“Pup” or the “Project”) located in Yukon, Canada. A multi-disciplinary field program was completed, with this work successfully advancing the various zones on the property, including bringing the Petal Zone to the drill decision stage. 2025 Work Program Highlights: Sampling expanded the Petal Zone copper soil anomaly to approximately 1,000 metres long by 400 metres wide, with it remaining open to the northwest and southeast. Hand trenching within this anomaly continued to encounter malachite and azurite bearing subcrop with representative grab samples returning up to 1.881% Cu. Ground magnetic surveying at Petal shows a correlation between increased magnetic anomalism and increased copper in soil values. Soil sampling at the Finn Zone returned strongly anomalous values of up to 2,085.8 ppm Cu suggesting good potential for significant nearby bedrock mineralization. Although hampered by occasional thick overburden, exploration at the Gismo Zone expanded the target to the west and east, with it remaining open in both directions. Thin section work identified the primary host to malachite and azurite mineralization at Petal as a quartz–chlorite–epidote schist, likely derived from a mafic to intermediate igneous protolith. Pup’s geological and mineralogical characteristics appear broadly similar to those associated with deposits located in the Yukon’s Minto Copper Belt. On October 29, 2025 the project received a Class 3 exploration permit, valid for 10 years, that allows for drilling, trenching, trail construction and limited road building. Northern Lights CEO Luka Capin commented: “We are pleased to report that our 2025 Pup program has brought Petal to the drill-decision stage, while Finn and Gismo continue to yield strong results. Several factors support drill readiness: the development of a prospective geological model based on Minto Copper Belt deposits, excellent road access, the acquisition of magnetic data to enhance targeting efforts, and the receipt of a robust exploration permit. The scale and tenor of the Petal Zone is compelling, and we are eager to un...
