Vancouver, British Columbia -(January 8, 2026) – TheNewswire - NorthernLights Resources Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”)(CSE: NLR) (OTC: NLRCF), is pleased to provide an update on itsUnited States Assets portfolio, highlighting a strategic royaltyinterest in Nevada and its 100%-owned flagship gold project inArizona.

Medicine Springs Project – 1% NetSmelter Return (NSR) Royalty

Northern Lights holds a 1% Net SmelterReturn (“NSR”) royalty on the Medicine Springs Project, located inthe Ruby Mountain Valley of northeastern Nevada. The project iscurrently optioned and operated by Torex Gold Resources Inc. (TSX:TXG), a well-established gold producer.

Historical exploration and drilling by previous operators haveidentified potential for silver, lead, zinc, copper, and goldmineralization, hosted in multiple mineralization styles includingcarbonate replacement deposits (CRD), porphyry, and skarn systems.

The Company views its NSR interest at Medicine Springs as a strategic,non-dilutive asset that provides long term optionality and leverage topotential future development or transaction activity, while allowingNorthern Lights to maintain focus and capital discipline on its coreexploration portfolio. Management believes the royalty representsmeaningful embedded value and aligns with the Company’s strategy ofretaining upside exposure to high quality assets without ongoingcapital commitments.

Secret Pass Gold Project – 100%Owned

Secret Pass, located in the historic Oatman–Katherine gold districtof northwestern Arizona, a cornerstone asset for Northern Lights. Theproject benefits from excellent infrastructure, year round access, anda prolific regional setting that has produced several million ouncesof gold historically.

Building on prior drilling, surface sampling, and geophysical work,the Company plans to advance Secret Pass in 2026 through a focused,technically driven exploration program. The historic voluminous dataset afforded us a rapid, low-cost entry into what is clearly showingas a high-grade camp. Planned work is expected to include:

•A comprehensive review and integration of historical geological,geochemical, and geophysical datasets

•Refinement of the geological model to accelerate the developmentcycle and optimize drill targeting; and

•A full updated recompilation led by Steve McMullan a PDACaward-winning geologist.

With elevated gold prices driving renewed activity in the district,including the restart of nearby mines previously on care andmaintenance, the Company believes Secret Pass offers significantdiscovery potential and remains underexplored relative to the scale ofthe mineralizing system. Northern Lights believes the project providesa strong springboard for value creation through the application ofmodern exploration techniques.

Looking Ahead

As the Company moves into 2026, Northern Lights intends to maintain adisciplined exploration approach while advancing projects with thegreatest potential to create shareholder value. The combination ofdirect exploration upside at Secret Pass and non-dilutive optionalitythrough the Medicine Springs NSR royalty positions the Company withmultiple avenues for value creation.
