Northern Lights Executes Option/Joint Venture Agreement for the Medicine Springs Project with Reyna Silver Corp.

Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE:NLR)("Northern Lights" or "NLR") is pleased to announce that it has executed a Property Option and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement") with Reyna Silver Corp. (TSXV:RSLV) ("Reyna Silver") on the Medicine Springs Project in Elko County, Nevada, U.S.A. (the "Transaction

The Medicine Springs Project comprises 149 unpatented Federal mineral claims covering 1,189 Ha located in the Ruby Mountains Valley just off the famous Carlin Trend. The Medicine Springs Project has the potential to host silver-zinc-lead Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") mineralization. Northern Lights is currently earning a 100% interest in the Medicine Springs Project under the terms of an option agreement with the underlying claim owners executed August 20, 2017 (the "NLR 2017 Option").

Under the terms of the Agreement, Reyna can earn up to 80% equity in the Medicine Springs Project by completing minimum exploration expenditures of US$2.4 million plus other commitments and paying a cash payment of US$1 million to Northern Lights by no later than December 31, 2023. (See "Key Terms of the Property Option and Joint Venture Agreement" for details). Upon completion, Northern Lights and Reyna Silver will jointly own 100% of the Medicine Springs Project and will establish a Joint Venture.

Northern Lights has a free carried interest (with no future repayment) on all exploration expenditures on the Medicine Springs Project until Reyna Silver has spent a minimum of US$4 million. After the free carry period is complete, Northern Lights will contribute to joint venture expenditures on an equity basis.

The Transaction is legally binding with completion only subject to the finalization of Reyna Silver's legal due diligence on the Medicine Springs Project mineral claims that is to be finished by the end of October 2020.

Northern Lights CEO, Jason Bahnsen commented "We are delighted to have Reyna Silver as a joint venture partner on the Medicine Springs Project. Medicine Springs is a CRD system with high-grade silver potential similar to Reyna Silver's flagship Guigui Project in Mexico. This joint venture leverages the exploration work that Northern Lights has completed on the project together with the proven CRD expertise of Dr. Peter Megaw and the team at Reyna Silver. We look forward to working together with Reyna Silver to accelerate unlocking the potential of Medicine Springs."

Dr. Peter Megaw, Technical Advisor to Reyna Silver commented "Medicine Springs ticks the most important boxes we look for in CRD exploration including location on a large regional structure that hosts significant CRDs, situated at the top or a thick section of potentially favorable carbonate host rocks and evidence of high silver grades. Some of the dump and rock chip samples run well over our 400 g/t (12 oz/t) silver threshold and it is quite likely that similar grades were diluted by the Reverse Circulation drilling used historically in the district. We will be drilling core to get a true picture of the clearly structurally-controlled mineralization as we trace it towards its source."

Since acquiring the Medicine Springs Project in 2017, Northern Lights has completed exploration work including detailed geological mapping, rock sampling, analysis of historic geophysical survey data (CSAMT and IP), review of historic exploration drilling, an aeromagnetic survey and an Ionic Leach soil geochemistry survey (see Figure 3).

The historic 125 shallow Reverse Circulation drill holes on the Medicine Springs Project encountered partially oxidized silver-zinc-lead mineralization at depths of up to 180 meters intersecting silver grades of up to 225 g/t. An extensive rock sampling program was completed in 2018 with a total of 66 samples collected in conjunction with surface mapping. Of the 66 samples collected, 27 samples assayed greater than 20 g/t silver and there were 17 samples with silver assays exceeding 100 g/t and a maximum value of 559 g/t. The Ionic Leach soil geochemistry survey completed in 2019 defined a strong coherent NE trending silver-zinc-lead anomaly which measures more than 2,000 meters in length and ranges up to 500 meters in width.

The results of the exploration work completed by Northern Lights at the Medicine Springs Project highlight the potential for significant silver-zinc-lead mineralization including the potential for high-grade CRD style mineralization.
