Project Summary
Strategic Location: The licence area covers 281 hectares comprised of 67 Ha of BLM claims and 214 Ha of Arizona State mineral claims located 29 km west of Kingman, Arizona, and just 4 km south of Highway 40.
100% Ownership: Northern Lights acquired 100% ownership of the property in November 2019, and the project carries no production royalties.
Prolific District: The site is situated 15 km north of the historic Oatman Gold Mining district, which produced over 2 million ounces of gold between 1892 and 1940 at an average grade of >15 g/t.
Geological Setting: The property hosts epithermal gold mineralization controlled by steeply dipping regional faults, specifically the Union Pass and Frisco Mine Faults, within Precambrian metamorphic rocks and Tertiary volcanics.
Investment Highlights
Historical drilling (approx. 14,000 meters across 126 holes) identified intersections up to 13.6 g/t Au over 36m, with internal high-grade zones exceeding 30-45 g/t Au.
Higher gold prices have reignited interest in the Oatman district, evidenced by the active restart of operations at the nearby Gold Road Mine and Mako Mining’s Moss Mine in 2025.
Northern Lights’ 2021 drill program confirmed wide zones of mineralization starting from the surface. Highlights include Hole TC21-02 (1.61 g/t Au over 66.15m, including 10.07 g/t Au over 7.41m) and Hole TC21-04 (0.95 g/t Au over the entire 103m length of the hole).
Drilling has confirmed mineralization extending from surface to approximately 80 meters depth, which remains open both at depth and along strike.
Exploration Status
Significant Upside: Despite over 20 historic workings identified on the property, modern exploration has tested only approximately 10% of the project area.
Untested Structures: Approximately 10 km of the two major regional faults (Union Pass and Frisco Mine) have never been drilled.
Recent Activity: In 2021, the Company completed Phase 1 drilling (4 holes totaling ~610 meters) at the Tin Cup prospect to validate historical data and test geological models.
Target Rich Environment: Exploration has identified numerous targets via geophysics, mapping, and surface sampling, with geology and mineralization showing strong analogies to the detachment-related gold potential of the Black Mountain Range.
