Northern Lights Resources Announces Start of Summer Exploration Campaign at the Pup Copper Project

About this update from Northern Lights Resources Corp

Vancouver, BC – June 18, 2026 – TheNewswire – Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE: NLR) (OTC: NLRCF) (FSE: 0ZH0) (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2026 work program at the Pup Copper Project (“Pup” or the “Project”) located in the Yukon, Canada. The fully funded 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 metres long by 400 metres wide zone with rock grab sample values of up to 3.799% Cu and soil sample values of up to 2,962.9 ppm Cu. Gismo is an open-ended, approximately 100-metre-wide zone with widespread anomalous Cu +/- Mo-Au-Ag. 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 via 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 October 29, 2025, allowing for drilling, trenching, trail construction, and limited road building. Luka Capin, CEO 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 One reconnaissance drill program is fully permitted and funded, 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." Qualified Person Steven McMullan, P.
