Overview and Going Concern

The Company currently has negotiated two property agreements, an earn-in-agreement on the Medicine Springs property in Nevada and the purchase of a 100% interest in the Secret Pass Gold Property in Arizona.

The Secret Pass Gold property consists of 868 hectares located in the heart of the Historic Oatman-Katherine gold mining district in northwest Arizona. This historical mining district produced 2 million ounces of gold and 1,000,000 ounces of silver between 1892 and 1940 at an average gold grade of over 15 g/t.

The Medicine Springs property located on the eastern edge of the Carlin Trend in southeastern Elko County, consists of 149 unpatented Federal mineral claims covering 1,189 Ha located in the Ruby Mountains Valley. The Medicine Springs property is a high grade Silver-Zinc-Lead project with significant potential to host a large scale high-grade Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") deposit. See "mineral properties" section below.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional funds through equity issuances. These events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2022 were prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

Results of Operations

The results of operations reflect the overhead costs incurred by the Company to maintain good standing with the various regulatory authorities and to provide an administrative infrastructure to manage the acquisition, and financing activities of the Company. General and administrative costs can be expected to increase or decrease in relation to the changes in activity required as property acquisition continues. The Company has not recorded, since the date of its incorporation, any revenues from its mineral exploration and development activities, nor does it expect to record any revenue over the course of the next 12 months.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Reyna Silver can earn a 75% interest in the Medicine Springs property by assuming and satisfying certain of the Company's commitments in the underlying option agreement dated August 20, 2017. Specifically, by paying USD $875,000 and incurring exploration expenditures of approximately USD $2,400,000 by December 31, 2023, of which USD $700,000 needs to be spent by December 31, 2022.

Upon completion, the Company and Reyna Silver will jointly own 100% of the Medicine Springs and will establish a joint venture.

On January 12, 2022, the Company announced the assay results from a jasperoid rock sampling program completed at the Medicine Springs Silver project that the Company is exploring in joint venture with Reyna Silver Corp.

Medicine Springs hosts Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) mineralization exposed at a very high level marked by well-developedmulti-stageNE-SW trending jasperoidbarite veins within an area of approximately 6 km x 6 km. These veins extend well beyond the areas of historic small-scale mining and very shallow drilling, so Reyna sampled them systematically to determine if a mineralization center or centers could be defined.

Systematic sampling (657 samples) of these veins throughout a 6 by 6 km area returned very strong results for Silver with 37 samples returning over 66 g/t Ag, 2 samples returned assays of over 1,000 g/t Ag. Assays for lead, zinc and copper showed anomalous results along a prominent NE-S trending structural network.

  1. Secret Pass Gold Project

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Secret Pass Gold Project located in northwestern Arizona.

Pursuant to the option agreement, the Company agrees to make the following consideration payments:

  1. within 5 working days following the exercise of the option, the Company will pay cash consideration of USD $75,000 (paid);
  2. within 30 days following the exercise of the option, the Company will issue 2,000,000 common shares (issued and valued at $80,000); and
  3. under the terms of the agreement, the Company will make the following additional payments:
    1. USD $175,000 on or before September 20, 2019 (paid); and
    2. USD $125,000 on or before November 8, 2019 (paid).

There are no third-party royalties payable on future production from the Secret Pass Gold Project.

As of November 7, 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that it had completed the cash consideration payments to the Secret Pass Gold Project vendors totaling USD $350,000 as defined under the definitive purchase agreement for the Transaction announced by the Company on July 15, 2019, issued 2,000,000 common shares to the Secret Pass Gold Project vendors and completed other administrative arrangements required to complete the transaction. The Company has renewed its exploration licence on the Secret Pass Gold Project for 5 years and completed preliminary exploration work in preparation for exploration drilling.

On March 26, 2020, the Company completed the change of registration for the mineral claims acquired under the Secret Pass Gold Project acquisition announced on July 15, 2019. Northern Lights was notified by the State of Arizona Department of Land that as of February 12, 2020, the 84 mineral claims (comprising 868 hectares) associated with the Secret Pass Gold Project are 100% owned and registered in the name of Northern Lights' wholly owned, Arizona

registered, subsidiary company Secret Gold Pass LLC.

In September 2020, an airborne geophysics survey over the entire Secret Pass Gold Project was completed. The geological information gathered from the airborne survey along with additional geological studies assisted with the selection of drill targets. The Tin Cup Gold Zone was an initial priority for the Company's exploration work at Secret Pass. The Tin Cup zone accounts for less than 10% of the total license area.

On October 26, 2020, the Company announced an 8 hole 1,600 meter drill program at Secret Pass with drilling to commence upon receiving required permits from Arizona State and the Federal Bureau of Land Management.

On December 1, 2020, the Company completed a reinterpretation and review of Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity Survey data that was initially collected by Santa Fe Mining in 1992. This work identified over 20 new exploration targets in previously unexplored areas of the Secret Pass mineral claims.

On March 31, 2021, the Company announced it has received approval from the US Bureau of Land Management to commence drilling at the Secret Pass Gold Project in Mohave County, Arizona.

On April 6, 2021, the Company announced the results from a stream sampling program at Secret Pass Gold Project in Mohave County, Arizona.

Northern Lights completed a property-wide stream sampling program comprising 196 stream sediment and 196 panned concentrate samples. With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the anomalous assays define 3 areas centred on the Fiery Squid, Tin Cup and Lion's Paw prospects. In total, 35 samples returned assay gold grades above 0.2 g/t including
