Medicine Springs Option Agreement Conditions Complete
Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE:NLR)(“Northern Lights” or “NLR”) is pleased to announce that all subsequent conditions to the Medicine Springs Option and Joint Venture Agreement announced with Reyna Silver Corp. (“Reyna Silver”) on October 5, 2020, including legal due diligence, have been completed and the agreement is now binding.
The Medicine Springs Project comprises 1,189 Ha of Federal mineral claims located in Elko County, Nevada and has the potential to host high-grade silver-zinc-lead Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) mineralization.
The geological team from Northern Lights and Reyna Silver have been at the Medicine Springs project site for the past several days reviewing the project geology and near term exploration plans.
Dr. Peter Megaw, Technical Advisor to Reyna 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, situation at the top of a thick section of structurally-prepared potentially favorable carbonate host rocks, evidence of high silver grades, and widespread, multi-stage alteration. Some of the historic 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.”
The Northern Lights and Reyna Silver intend to update investors about the near term exploration plans for Medicine Springs in the coming weeks.
Reyna Silver is committed to spending a minimum of US$2.4 million in exploration expenditures and paying Northern Lights a US$1 million cash payment to earn an 80% ownership in the Medicine Springs Project with Northern Lights retaining a 20% interest. Northern Lights is not required to make any cash contribution to project expenditures until Reyna Silver has spent a minimum of US$4m.

Secret Pass Update and Drill Program
Northern Lights Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Northern Lights”) is pleased to announce an update to exploration work at the Company’s 100% owned Secret Pass Gold Project (“Secret Pass” of the “Project”) located in Mohave County, northwestern Arizona.
Exploration work completed by Northern Lights during 2020 has identified significant potential for high-grade gold mineralization at the Tin Cup and FM zones plus the newly identified Fiery Squid zone as well as 20 follow-up exploration targets previously disclosed in the Company’s news release of September 9, 2020.
During 2020, Northern Lights has completed significant geological fieldwork on Secret Pass including:
- Airborne drone photogrammetry mapping survey (completed May/Sept 2020)
- Airborne drone magnetic survey and interpretation (completed Sept 2020)
- Geological mapping and stream sediment and panned concentrate sampling (Sept / October 2020)
- Reinterpretation of historical IP survey data (results pending)
- A detailed review of historical geological work and GIS digitization and orientation of historic data
Refer to Figure 1: Secret Pass Geological Map and Preliminary Target Zones
Preliminary Geological Model – Tin Cup and FM Zones
Work completed by Northern Lights indicates that historic drilling has only tested the upper part of the potential epithermal gold zone at the Tin Cup and FM prospects.
Historic reverse circulation exploration drilling completed at Tin Cup intersected high-grade gold mineralization from near-surface to a maximum depth of approximately 180 metres. The average depth of the 145 historic holes completed on the Secret Pass property was 95 metres.
Assay results from the historic drilling at Tin Cup ranged up to 40 g/t Au. Several notable intersections are shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Selected Historic Drill Results at Tin Cup Zone
The mineralized zone at Tin Cup has a strike length of approximately 245 metres and a drill-indicated depth of up to 180 metres, both open along strike and depth. High-grade mineralization greater than 3 g/t Au, is localized in 3.0 to 7.6 metres wide, steep westerly-dipping structures that occurs within a much wider mineralized fault zone that ranges from 30 to 45 metres in width. The mineralization has a northwest plunge and is open at depth.
Analysis completed by Northern Lights indicates that there is potential to discover high-grade gold mineralization below the limit of the historic drilling at Tin Cup. With reference to the deepest level of production (650 m RL) at the Gold Road Mine (operated by Aura Minerals Inc., located 11 km due south of Secret Pass) and the limited depth of the historic drilling at Tin Cup (900 m RL), there is potential for high-grade gold mineralization for an additional 250 metres below the depth of historic drilling.
Refer to Figure 2: Secret Pass Geological Model – Tin Cup Prospect Cross-Section.
Historical USGS geological studies of gold-silver deposits in the Oatman Gold District establishes that the epithermal gold-silver mineralization was deposited over a temperature range of 150 to 280 degrees C and occur between the elevations of 1900 to 3050 feet (575-915 meters). The highest gold and silver grades were observed at the Gold Road and Tom Reed mines, hosted by colloform banded chalcedony-adularia-calcite-pyrite veins with a low Au:Ag ratio and a weak As-Sb-F geochemical signature. Based on the Oatman epithermal model, it is postulated that the Tin Cup and FM gold mineralization is situated in the middle to upper portions of the epithermal gold system. This assertion is further supported by the presence of adularia, fluorite and fluid inclusion temperatures ranging from 190-240 degrees C from a majority of the Tin Cup veins.
Secret Pass Phase 1 Drill Program
Northern Lights has planned an initial 8 hole, 1,600 metre, diamond core drill program at Secret Pass to commence immediately upon the Company receiving the required exploration and drill permits that are currently in process.
This initial Phase 1 drill program will focus on confirming the presence of high-grade gold mineralization identified by historic drilling and providing structural information as well as to test for the potential of continued mineralization at depth at Tin Cup.
Also, the Phase 1 program will include two holes at the newly identified Fiery Squid zone located approximately 2 km to the north of the Tin Cup zone. A historic grab sample from the dumps adjacent to the shaft at Fiery Squid yielded 6 g/t Au. The Fiery Squid zone is an intense sericite-altered, quartz-veined set of contacts developed between a swarm of rhyolite intrusions and host andesite situated in the middle of a 1000 x 500 metre zone of iron oxide alteration.
All drilling will be diamond core drilling, size HQ.

TC01 | Tin Cup | 310 | -50 | 250 |
TC02 | Tin Cup | 220 | -45 | 175 |
TC03 | Tin Cup | 220 | -55 | 225 |

The 100-series holes were drilled to intersect the vein uncovered by stripping and to follow the high-grade corridor. Holes GR-20-101 to GR-20-105 are vertical holes drilled to intersect the mineralized vein structure.
The stripping has confirmed the continuation of the mineralized structure in historical Pit #1 for up to 350m East-West. Pit #1, mined in 1994, extracted 87,311 tonnes grading 5.17 g/t Au (43-101 Technical Report dated February 13, 2019 on the Granada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate, Rouyn Noranda, Quebec authored by the Qualified persons, Allan Armitage, Ph. D.., P. Geo and Maxime Dupere, B.SC., Geo both of SGS Canada Inc. – Section 13.1).
Earlier this year, (Press Release August 11, 2020) the Company processed by conventional gravity concentration, a large 1220-kilgram grab sample taken over a 3-meter strike length in this stripped area, resulting in the recovery of 55.6 g/t native gold where the native gold component of has been defined for the Granada Gold Mine to represent an average of 50% of the recoverable gold (43-101 Technical Report dated February 13, 2019 on the Granada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate, Rouyn Noranda, Quebec authored by the Qualified persons, Allan Armitage, Ph. D.., P. Geo and Maxime Dupere, B.SC., Geo both of SGS Canada Inc. – Section 13.1). The gold-bearing sulphides were not recovered.
Holes GR-20-106 to GR-20-110 are drilled within the vein structure to the West of the GR-19-A which intersected 11.45 g/t Au over 33 meters (Granada Gold Mine, Press Release January 9, 2020).
Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., “The short-hole drill program, with its 3 objectives, has succeeded in defining further extension of the high-grade zones eastward near surface. As well, we intersected the mineralized structure to measure total thickness immediately north of the stripping of the vein extension to the west of bulk zone. Moreover, the other holes have shown the extension to the NNE of the high-grade zone in the mineralized structure. The more we drill, the more we find gold. The typical Abitibi Gold Belt structure scenario is that there is gold mineralization in several large structures and smaller structures, and within these larges structures there are zones of very high concentration of gold where visible gold is observed and measured in the core within these extensive planar structures. It appears that this enrichment shows on the eastern blocks of the many senestral NNE faults – like GR-20-110. We are looking forward to similar assay results in GR-20-117 where it has intersected the continuity of the very high-grade bulk zone at Granada evidenced by the presence of visible gold.”
As noted, assay results from other holes have not yet been received but will be disclosed after they are validated and interpreted. See drillhole location map further down in this press release for more details. The table represents the characteristics of the drill holes of this press release.

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop the Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Approximately 120,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date on the property, focused mainly on the extended LONG Bars zone which trends 2 kilometers east-west over a potential 5.5 kilometers of mineralized structure. The highly prolific Cadillac Break, the source of more than 75 million plus ounces of gold production in the past century, cuts through the north part of the Granada property. But is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company’s property.
Pit-Constrained Mineral Resources at Granada disclosed on February 13th, 2019 Press Release prepared by SGS independent QP Maxime Dupéré Geo. & Allan Armitage P. Geo “Technical Report on the Granada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada “stand at:
Category | Tonnes | Grade (g/t AU) | Contained Gold (oz.) |
Measured | 12,637,000 | 1.02 | 413,000 |
Indicated | 9,630,000 | 1.13 | 349,000 |
Measured & Indicated | 22,267,000 | 1.06 | 762,000 |
Inferred | 6,930,000 | 2.04 | 455,000 |
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
* Pit constrained mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au within a conceptual pit shell.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over five and half kilometers. Three of these structures were mined historically from two shafts and two open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 5 to 3.5 grams per tonne gold.
The Company is in possession of all mining permits required to commence the initial mining phase, known as the “Rolling Start”, which allows the company to mine up to 550 tonnes per day. Additional information is available at www.granadagoldmine.com.

Newlox Delivers Over 90% Gold Recovery Using Organic Aqua Regia
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX ) (CNSX:LUX.CN) ( Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO ) is pleased to provide an update on the Organic Aqua Regia (OAR) testing underway at the recently established Newlox Research and Development’s laboratory. The Company is investigating Organic Aqua Regia (OAR) technology as a non-toxic and water-free alternative to cyanidation for the production of gold and other precious metals. While OAR is currently in Stage 1 testing at the Company’s laboratory, preliminary results are very encouraging.
OAR is being developed in conjunction with the University of British Columbia in Canada and Chiba University in Japan for the leaching of gold with an organic reagent that is both non-toxic and widely used in other industries. The reagent price is comparable to sodium cyanide, the conventional gold mining industry reagent. The main advantages are that it is non-toxic, is recyclable, extracts gold faster than cyanide, does not use water, and does not require carbon or electrowinning.
Recent OAR tests conducted by Newlox on high-grade gold ore samples have returned gold recoveries above 90% when conducted at ambient temperature and pressure. Testing is currently underway to investigate the effect of both temperature and reagent concentration on the leaching mechanics.
A Message from Ryan Jackson, President & CEO:
“During a recent visit to the laboratory by management, the research and development team presented preliminary results from Stage 1 testing. We were delighted to hear that the first round of testing delivered over 90% gold recovery, using the cutting-edge OAR leaching technology.
This initial round of testing is part of Newlox R&D’s 12-month OAR development program, and we are delighted to have already realized such positive results. Stage-1 testing is still underway, and we are looking forward to reporting the detailed results of this program as they become available.
OAR leaching could be a paradigm-shifting technology applicable not only to the US$180 billion formal global gold mining industry but also as a method to bring the US$27 billion informal gold mining industry into the 21st century.”

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.”

The Medicine Springs Project
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.
