About this update from Northern Lights Resources Corp

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - July 27, 2026 – Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE: NLR) (OTC: NLRCF) (FSE: 0ZH0) (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of drilling at its Pup Copper Project (“Pup” or the “Project”) located 10 km west of Dawson City, Yukon. Highlights First-ever drill test of Pup: The program will provide the first ever drill test of bedrock beneath the copper-in-soil anomalies and copper oxide mineralization identified at surface within the Petal and Gismo Zones.  Petal Zone: An open-ended zone approximately 1,000 metres long by 400 metres wide, with rock grab samples returning values of up to 3.799% Cu and soil samples returning up to 2,962.9 ppm Cu.  Gismo Zone: An open-ended zone approximately 100 metres wide, characterized by widespread anomalous copper, plus or minus molybdenum, gold, and silver.  Favourable geological setting: Both zones share geological similarities with targets in the Minto Copper Belt. The Project is situated within the mineral-rich Yukon-Tanana Terrane, which hosts numerous significant Cu-Au porphyry systems, VHMS base metal targets and orogenic gold deposits.  Road-accessible and fully permitted: Work on the Project is covered by a Class 3 exploration permit valid for ten years beginning April 29, 2026, authorizing drilling, trenching, trail construction, and limited road building.  The fully permitted and funded program is to be comprised of up to 10 shallow reverse-circulation scout holes totalling approximately 600 metres, designed to test near-surface targets at the Gismo and Petal Zones. The targets were prioritized through the Company's disciplined, data-driven exploration workflow, integrating results from soil geochemistry, hand-trenching, prospecting and ground magnetic surveying completed during the 2025 field season. In preparation for drilling, the Company completed excavator trenching, drill pad construction, trail building, and surface prospecting (see Company press release dated June 18, 2026). Samples collected during this work have been submitted for analysis, and results will be reported once analytical results have been received, compiled, and interpreted.  “Putting a drill on the ground at Pup for the first time is an important moment for Northern Lights.” stated Guy Mahaffy, CEO of Northern Lights. “Every stage of our work to dat...
