Northern Superior Extends Falcon Gold Zone to 450.00m Strike, Latest Intersections Highlighted by 1.39g/t AuEq over 40.00m Lac Surprise Gold Property

SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2021 / Northern Superior Resources (“Northern Superior” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SUP)(OCTQB:NSUPF) is pleased to announce the latest step-out drilling results from the Falcon Gold Zone at the Company’s large (20 kms x 15 kms), 100% owned Lac Surprise Gold property. The first 8 holes of the Phase 2 program all intersected the Falcon Zone and are the first eight holes of the planned 27 hole Phase II Stage 1 Program currently underway targeting the Falcon Zone.

All of the eight holes reported intersected long mineralized intervals at the Falcon Gold Zone (see Tables 1 to 8 for detailed assays and Figure 1 for hole locations). Highlight Intersections include:

• LCS21-029: 40.0m at 1.391 g/t AuEq (1.36g/t Au and 2.45g/t Ag)

• LCS21-024: 42.6m at 1.04 g/t AuEq (1.03g/t Au and 0.66g/t Ag)

• LSC21-030: 14.7m at 1.533 g/t AuEq (1.59g/t Au and 0.66g/t Ag)
  • Within a wider interval of 0.912g/t AuEq over 53.45m

• LCS21-028: 14.5m at 1.44 g/t AuEq (1.10g/t Au and 3.66g/t Ag)
  • Within a wider interval of 0.71g/t AuEq over 47m

• LCS21-027: 19.2m at 1.03 g/t AuEq (1.01g/t Au and 1.80/t Ag)

Importantly, step-out drilling has now extended the strike length by 200 m, to a total of 450.0m west of the northeastern boundary with neighboring Vanstar / IAMGold’s 3.2M ounces at 1.02 g/t Au Nelligan gold deposit*. In addition, we are seeing excellent vertical continuity across the entire 450m strike length defined to date, with sections such as holes LCS21-24, LCS21-25 and LCS19-005(ext) showing 229.0 m of vertical continuity and the Falcon Zone remains open towards surface and at depth (see Figure 2 for a cross section).

The mineralized material that the Falcon Gold Zone is hosted in consists of course clastic materials (mainly greywacke) with moderate to strong Pyrite content (varying between 3% to 6% mostly in thin dissemination, fracture, veinlets controlled and often in stringers) with decametric moderate to strong silicification and sericitization spatially related. The host rock and mineralization style are similar to the Nelligan Gold Deposit, and as a result the Falcon Gold Zone is thought to represent its western extension. The Falcon Gold Zone remains open along strike to the West and to depth.

The latest drilling results also correspond well with the recent discovery holes from late 2020, LCS20-13, 1.07 g/t AuEq (1.02 g/t gold, 3.92 g/t silver) over 35.5m with a high-grade interval of 8.22 g/t AuEq (7.70 g/t gold, 38.96 g/t silver) over 2.6m; and LCS19-005(ext), 1.55g/t gold equivalent⁽¹⁾ (“AuEq”) over 44.9m, including 3.82g/t AuEq over 15m) (see Northern Superior press release, December 22, 2020), further bolstering our knowledge and confidence in our interpretation.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO states: “Intersecting the Falcon Gold Zone with the first 8 holes of the 27 hole 2021 drill campaign with a 100% hit rate demonstrates the continuity and predictability of the associated gold-bearing material. With a 450 m of strike length already defined, excellent vertical continuity and the potential to extend the Falcon Zone to the west and at depth, we are highly encouraged by the potential of the Falcon Gold Zone. We are also enthusiastic about leveraging our increased knowledge to drill the regional potential of Lac Surprise. The Phase II, Stage II program will consist of approximately 4,000m of drilling testing Target 3 (1 collar, 3 holes, 1,200m), the Fox showing (4 collars, 4 holes, 1,000m) and the Confluence Area (5 collars, 5 holes, 1,500m) (see Northern Superior press release, April 19, 2021).”
