(via TheNewswire)

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - March 20, 2026 – Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE: NLR) (OTC: NLRCF) (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) announces a proposed debt settlement pursuant to which the Company intends to issue up to 1,300,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Settlement Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.08 per Settlement Share to settle an aggregate of $104,000 in outstanding indebtedness owing to certain creditors of the Company (the “Debt Settlement”), including directors and consultants.

The Settlement Shares will be issued in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). All Settlement Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Debt Settlement remains subject to certain conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the CSE.

Luka Capin, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Lights, stated: “The proposed Debt Settlement announced today represents an important step in strengthening the Company’s balance sheet. The willingness of creditors to accept shares at a premium to market reflects their support for Northern Lights, our underlying growth potential, and the relationships we have built. This transaction is expected to further improve our financial position as we continue to advance the Company.”

Certain creditors participating in the Debt Settlement include insiders of the Company representing $35,000 of the indebtedness.  The participation of such insiders will constitute a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Settlement Shares to be issued to insiders nor the consideration paid exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. No new control person is expected to be created as a result of the Debt Settlement.

The Debt Settlement is expected to close no earlier than five business days from the date of this news release and remains subject to CSE acceptance.
