Northern Superior Announces High Grade Assay Results, Annex Boulder Train, Ti-pa-haa-kaa-ning Gold/ Silver/ Copper Property

Sudbury, Ontario (FSCwire) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern Superior” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQB: NSUPF), is pleased to release the following summary of high grade gold, silver and copper assay results from boulder sampling completed during 2011 and 2017 on the Annex portion of the Company’s 100% owned Ti-pa-haa-kaa-ning (“TPK”) gold/ silver/ copper property in north-central Ontario.

Highlights

- Assay results range up to 727 g/t Au for the boulder sampling programs

- Numerous gold, silver and copper targets have been identified within the Annex portion of the TPK property

Summary of Sampling Program:

1) Recovery of several highly anomalous gold-bearing boulders.

Of the 287 boulders sampled within the Annex portion of the TPK property (101 in 2011, 186 in 2017):

• 103 samples (35.9%) > 50 ppb gold;
• 20 samples (7.0%)  > 1.0 g/t gold; and
• 4 samples (1.4%)  > 34.3 g/t (1 oz/ton) gold

The four highest gold assay values from the Annex area compare very favorably with the highest reported gold-bearing boulder assays associated with the Agnico Eagle’s Meliadine gold property, with proven and probable reserves of 3.335 million ounces of gold at 13.94 million tonnes at an average grade of 7.44 g/t gold (see Agnico Eagle Mines “Updated Technical Report on the Meliadine Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada”, February 11, 2015, listed on Sedar). Table 1 below, compares Northern Superior’s highest boulder gold assay results from the TPK property from those reported from the Meliadine gold property.

2) Bedrock source of the Keely Lake gold grain-in-till dispersal apron is confirmed (see Northern Superior Press Release, October 25, 2011; September 14, 2011) from the boulder assays and has been determined to be wholly within the TPK property boundaries.  As shown in Figure 1 below, multiple high value gold targets have been identified by recently completed prospecting.

3) Numerous highly anomalous silver and copper bearing boulders were sampled (highlighted values are summarized in Table 2).

Of the 287 boulders collected, Silver:

• 37 samples (12.9%) > 1 g/t Ag;

• 13 samples (4.5%) > 10 g/t Ag; and

• 10 samples (3.5%) > 25 g/t Ag

Of the 287 boulders collected, Copper:

• 87 samples (30.3%) > 0.01% Cu;

• 25 samples (8.7%) > 0.1% Cu; and

• 5 samples (1.7%) > 1% Cu

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: “Assays from the boulder sampling and prospecting programs completed in 2011 and 2017 clearly define numerous gold, gold + silver and gold + silver + copper targets within the Annex portion of the TPK property. The 2017 sampling confirms that the bedrock sources of the mineralized boulders are located on NSR’s existing claims. We are confident that pending data from till samples taken in 2017 will allow us to more precisely determine the location of the bedrock source of the mineralized boulders. This information combined with geophysical and other geoscience data will allow us to prioritize and target drilling for upcoming drill programs.

We look forward to reporting this work, along with geochemical results from boulders collected in the Big Dam area of the TPK property during the 2017 prospecting program, as results become available.”
