==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
The Acquisition Assets are situated the Upper Eastmain Greenstone belt, located 300km NNE of the town of Chibougamau and 56 km south of Renard Diamond mine.
The Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt is one of several Archean greenstone belts situated within the Canadian Shield. Due to its northerly location and historically perceived remoteness, the region has not received the same exploration comparable to the belts located further south, that are better recognised as making up the world-famous Abitibi Greenstone Belt), hosting a number of world class mines including (Kirkland Lake, Rouyn Noranda, Malartic and Kerr Addison).
Tarku Project (100% NLM)
The Tarku Project is the eastern extension of the Eastmain Project, with similar geology and contains gold mineralisation distributed along the faults (Fig.2). The area is characterised by presence of several heli-borne TDEM anomalies likened to those explored by Benz Mining at their neighbouring Eastmain project.

Initial Areas of Interest
Target 1
Located along the southern contact of the tenements and encompasses the tectonic zone including the de Bart fault and its associated splay system. The zone is marked by the heli-borne EM anomalies and Au occurrences on the north-west of the tenure and farther on the north-west on the Benz Mining side (Fig. 3a).
ASX:MRZ
==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Target 2
Encompasses the strong and large heli-borne EM anomaly which is coincident with a weak heliborne TMI anomaly located along the contact of the gabbro intrusion (Fig. 3b).
Target 3
Extension of the Eastmain deposit mining stratigraphy. Geochemical Au anomalies on the Benz Mining side were identified all the way through to the border with Tarku, the Tarku tenure is yet to be geochemically surveyed (Fig. 3a).

RH Extension (100% NLM)
RH Extension includes several blocks that Northern Lights added to the south of the Benz Mining’s - Ruby Hill East property. This is a Nickel-Sulphide project with the target area encompassing a swarm of a small ultramafic intrusions interpreted from the magnetic data (Fig. 4). These ultramafic intrusions potentially represent the magma conduit that forms the feeder system for the large differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion that spread through the contact of the Northern Light’s (RHE-extension) and Benz Mining's (RHE) properties.

Focus Graphite (100% earn-in option)
The property encompasses approximately 50km of a strike length of the north-eastern extension of the Ruby Hill – Upper Eastmain River green belt and composed by the mafic volcanics intercalated with felsic volcanics. The area is characterised by presence of the numerous occurrences of the gold, base-metal and polymetallic mineralisation (Fig. 5a). Initial targeting was focused on the known occurrences and their associated TDEM anomalies that are broadly consistent with the weak to moderate magnetic anomalisms (Fig. 5b,c).
Target 1: Strong EM and Mag anomalies, broad fold suggesting good permeability along the fold related cleavage fan plans.
Target 2: Most advanced target from past work. Abundant VTEM anomalies are coincident with contacts of the volcanic anomalies distributed in this area were fund related to sulphide mineralisation, which locally exposed as the gossans. The gossans were systematically sampled using trenching that has revealed Au, Cu. Zn and Ag mineralisation (Fig. 5a).

Dios Property (70% Earn-in option)
The Dios Property is accessible by road and fully owned by Dios in James Bay, north of Chibougamau along Route 167, 40 km south of the Renard diamond deposit and 6 km northwest from the Eastmain mine deposit. The property covers the contact between the Bohier Tonalite and felsic to intermediate volcanics of the Upper Eastmain River greenstone belt to the West and with a large granodiorite pluton to the East (Fig. 6a). The polymetallic, Au-Ag-Cu-Bi, and, possibly, porphyry type mineral occurrences are contained in close proximity to a magnetic-low within the Bohier Tonalite (Fig. 6b). A special interest as exploration targets represent the North-East striking faults that cut the tonalite intrusion and characterised by intense demagnetisation of the tonalite, which is indicative of intense hydrothermal alteration along the fault zones with gold mineralisation locally exposed in the outcrops (Fig. 6b, Table 1).

| The geochemical survey has included soil, till and outcrop sampling. In order to assure high quality of this work and a full compliance with the industry standards a specialised geochemical contractor, IOS Services geoscientific, has been engaged for this survey. Soil geochemical samples, approximately 350g at the Dios property and 400 – 500g at the Focus -Graphite, were collected from the A1layer (Canadian agricultural classification of the soils), at the depth of 0.02 – 0.70 m. Usually deeper at the Focus – Graphite area. After drying samples were homogenised and sieved (-0.250 mm), and 20g material collected, of which 10g is used for metal assays at the Actlabs laboratory and remaining 10g was used for calcination study at the IOS. Till sampling was used for obtaining the heavy minerals concentrate (HMC) that were derived from the fraction of 90 – 250 microns using the ARTmin method. |

The drilling program specifically targeted contacts between magnetic lineaments (vertical gradient) within an ovoidshaped low magnetic anomaly, interpreted as a magnetite-depleted phase of the Bohier Tonalite (map pasted below). The targets were located up-ice mineralized boulder trains coincident with gold-in-till anomalies, close to goldbearing outcrops. These magnetic lineaments could represent mineralized and altered zones associated with structures. Systematic hand-magnet testing was carried along the core. Positive variation of magnetism was generally associated with the increase of biotite content (Contact Area) or with the intensity of the hematization

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The greenstone sequences of the James Bay region of Quebec are characterized by a variety of deposit types, comparable to other mining districts such as Timmins and Red Lake, Ontario, as well as Noranda and Val-d'Or, Quebec. The deposit types include: Volcanic-hosted Cu-Au-Ag sulphide-type Sedimentary-hosted Au-As-Sb deposits |

Volcanic-hosted Au-Te-Bi-Ag-B quartz-tourmaline vein systems Volcanogenic Bousquet-type gold deposits VMS type Cu-Zn deposits Zinc-rich iron formations Spodumene (Li mineral), beryl and molybdenite bearing pegmatites Uraniferous migmatites. Ni-sulphide mineralisation associated with ultramafic rocks. Dios. According to the Dios geologists the geological setting of the 33 CARATS property represents a typical Archean island arc environment, associated with calc-alkaline magmatism. The geological setting of the 33 CARATS property also exhibit similarities with the Archean Au-Cu Cote Lake deposit, representing a magmatic hydrothermal breccia containing disseminated/stockwork pyrite ± chalcopyrite. In the both geological models proposed by the Dios geologists the emphasis is made on the tonalite intrusive stock that hosts gold bearing quartz-sulphide veins. Northern Lights geologists have noted a distinct structural control of mineralisation at the 33 Carat property suggesting that the above presented geological models need to be further developed by incorporating the structural control and metamorphic-hydrothermal remobilization of the primary mineralisation. These observations have suggested that the exploration efforts should be focused toward the favorable shear zones and faults cutting the tonalite stock. Focus Graphite and Cross Road. Various gold occurrences were identified during the regional geochemical surveys, in particular volcanic-hosted Cu-Au-Ag sulphide type and volcanic hosted Au bearing quartz-tourmaline system. The area is also prospective for VMS type Au-base metal mineralisation, which as highlighted by discovery of the weakly mineralised gossan of the massive-sulphide lens distributed along the contact of the mafic volcanics with the felsic tuffs, as it is presented on the map below.

Tarku.
Tarku property is located on the south-eastern part of the Eastmain greenstone belt which metallogenic features are defined based on the gold and gold bearing deposits located in the central segment of the belt, that hosts Eastmain deposit and several smaller prospects, Juliene and Michelle. Two main types of the gold mineralisation are the dominant in this part of the greenstone belt: • Gold mineralization occurs in mineralized quartz veins associated with massive to semi-massive sulphide lenses and silicified zones distributed along the contacts of the felsic and mafic volcanics.The volcanic hosted lode gold deposits are characterized by stratabound, disseminated to massive chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyrite veinlets and lenses associated with fine grained quartz. The gold mineralization associated with the masive sulphide lenses is considered to be synvolcanic or syngenetic in origin. • Second type of mineralisation was discovered on the Ruby Hill West property, at the western extension of the Eastmain Greenstone belt. The gold mineralisation associated with arsenopyrite is hosted by the shear zones cutting the mafic volcanic layer located at the contact with the ultramafic sequence. The mineralisation is accompanied by intense silicification of the host rocks. Extension.
The tenement area encompasses the chain of small ultramafic intrusions interpreted as a feeder zone (i.e. mafic-ultramafic magma conduit) of the middle size (2.5 x 2.8 km) differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion, that partially also included into this tenement. The mafic-ultramafic conduit systems are notoriously known as a favorable environment for hosting the massive sulphide mineralisation (e.g. Eagle and Tamarack deposits).

Geological setting of this project is broadly similar to the Lac Lessard differentiated gabbro-peridotite intrusion where disseminated and stringer Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation was discovered during exploration drilling in 2015.
