(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia.  September 18, 2024 TheNewswire - Northern Lights Resources Corp. ("Northern Lights" or the "Company") (CSE: NLR,OTC:NLRCF, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement with veteran prospector Bernie Kreft ("Kreft") to acquire a 100% interest in the Pup Copper Project ("Pup" or the "Project"), located in the Yukon Territory.

Pup Project Highlights :

• The Project is located approximately 10 kilometres west of the regional centre of Dawson City. It consists of 64 quartz claims totalling approximately 1,300 hectares and is accessible via a network of rough 4x4 roads leading to placer gold mines located along the south edge of the property.

• The Project is situated within the mineral rich Yukon Tanana Terrane, host to numerous significant Cu-Au porphyry, VHMS base metal and orogenic gold type targets, deposits or past producing mines.

• Pup is host to an approximate 850 metre long by up to 400 metre wide copper in soil anomaly, possibly open to the southeast, with values of up to 2,962.9 ppm copper, within which are several areas with anomalous Au up to 138 ppb and Ag up to 3.0 ppm.

• Limited hand trenching within the copper soil anomaly has encountered oxidized, weathered and foliated propylitically altered quartz-biotite-chlorite bedrock mineralized with disseminated, fracture controlled and quartz vein hosted malachite and azurite along with lesser magnetite, hematite and rare pyrite. Grab samples of this material have returned up to 3.799% copper.

Northern Lights, CEO, Jason Bahnsen commented : "We are excited to add the Pup property to our growing portfolio of copper projects. Excellent access, an intriguing geological setting and a robust copper soil anomaly of significant size and excellent tenor that has yet to be mechanically trenched or drilled were major selling points to us. We also look forward to working with the vendor, Bernie Kreft, who has a strong track record of exploration and discovery, in the further advancement of this project."
