Northern Superior’s Ti-pa-haa-kaa-ning (TPK) Gold- Silver- Copper Project: Heavy Lifting Done- Drill Ready Targets Now Prepared for Additional Discoveries

SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern Superior” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQB: NSUPF) has successfully completed a significant multi-disciplinary mineral exploration program on its 100% owned TPK property during the third quarter of 2017 (see Northern Superior Resources press releases: December 6, 2017; November 8, 2017; October 18, 2017; October 11, 2017). After an absence of any sustained follow-up exploration on the property for almost four years, Northern Superior has re-evaluated and revised its core hole drilling targets on both the Annex and Big Dam areas of the property (Figure 1). This was achieved through:

a) prospecting, boulder and till sampling programs;
b) re-evaluation of all geophysical data;
c) re-evaluation of key drill holes derived from a previous partners core drill program; and
d) integration and re-evaluation of all geoscientific information encompassing past and recently completed exploration on the property.

All exploration programs conducted by Northern Superior Resources are undertaken with the cooperation and assistance of Neskantaga First Nation under an Early Exploration Benefits Agreement.

KEY FINDINGS

Prospecting, boulder (191 samples) and till (290 samples) sampling programs within the Annex area of the property (see Northern Superior Resources press release, October 11, 2017):- Confirmed and provided a definitive cut-off for the Keely Lake gold grain-in-till dispersal corridor (Figure 2);
– Confirmed that the area hosts potential for significant gold, silver and copper mineralization, as defined by the discovery of several new gold, silver and copper targets (Figures 3 and 4; see Northern Superior Resources press release, December 6, 2017; October 11, 2017); and
– Confirmed that the property is also host to a new target area of potential economic interest namely, Fishbasket Lake Copper target (Cu-Ag-Zn)- a mineralized system independent of the one associated with the Big Dam/ New Growth gold grain-in-till dispersal apron.

Prospecting and boulder sampling (251 samples) in the Big Dam area on the property assisted in defining new targets for core hole drilling as well as refined the location of existing targets (Figures 5 and 6; see Northern Superior Resources press release, November 8, 2017; October 18, 2017).
Re-logging, sampling and petrographic studies of key drill core from historic drill programs completed within the Big Dam area by a former partner (see Northern Superior Resources press release, November 8, 2017):- Provided new insight on the lithologies and types of alteration associated with structures and mineralized intercepts of economic interest; and – New plotting of the existing drill hole data in 3-D also changed the interpretation of the geometry of shear zones associated with gold mineralization.A rigorous re-examination of all geoscientific information (till geochemistry data, boulder geochemistry, reverse circulation and existing core hole drilling aided by petrographic studies) provided new insight into the placement of drill hole collars for a forthcoming round of drill hole testing, thereby maximizing the Company’s future chances of success.
Re-examination of all geoscientific also re-affirmed:
– Extension of the Big Dam gold grain-in-till dispersal apron for an additional 29 km west across the property into the New Growth area, as defined by an arsenic-in-till anomaly that extends down-ice from, the related 35 km long east-west gold-bearing structure (Figure 7); and
– Multiple discoveries, already made on the TPK property, both in drill core and from previous prospecting programs- many of these simply requiring a focussed core drill program to define size and grade of the associated mineralization (Table 1; see Northern Superior Resources press release, November 8, 2017).

T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior Resources states, “All the heavy lifting required to ensure the success of the next phase of drilling on the TPK property is now complete. We are confident that the TPK property is now well positioned for the discovery of not one, but two regional, mineralized systems contained within the boundaries of the property, achievable only through focussed, well- funded and sustained drill programs.”

A PowerPoint presentation providing the history and economic potential of the TPK property is available on the Company’s website, Investor Presentations, “Investors Tab.”
