Northern Lights Resources said on October 5 that it had completed its 2026 field program at the Pup Copper Project in Yukon. Work included seven reverse-circulation holes totalling 277.36 metres, four trenches totalling 45.4 metres and soil sampling.

A channel sample from trench T2 returned 0.621% copper over 7.5 metres and 4.7 ppm silver; selected rock samples from T3 reached 0.997% copper. Drill assays had not yet been received, so these are trench and rock-sample results, not drill grades.

## Data

### Figures reported in the release

Company-reported T2 trench channel result and completed reverse-circulation drilling total.

Methodology: The grade is from a trench channel sample, not a drill hole; drilling assays were pending in the release.
