Northern Superior Intersects 705 g/t Gold Over 0.5 m, Demonstrated Continuity of Mineralized System Enhanced, Croteau Est Project, Québec



Sudbury, Ontario (FSCwire) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern Superior” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQB: NSUPF), is pleased to report results from the recently completed Phase III drill program (November- December, 2017) within the Croteau Bouchard Shear Zone (“CBSZ”) on its 100% owned Croteau Est Gold Property, Québec. Sixteen (16) core drill holes totalling 6,282 metres (m) of drilling were completed for this phase.

 

Highlights of the Phase III Drill Program

 

  • The Phase III drilling, combined with results from earlier core drill programs, now indicates that gold mineralization associated with the CBSZ consists of:

 

a)  a minimum strike length of 600 m;

 

b)  open to the west along strike;

 

c)  open along strike down-plunge to the east; and

 

d)  open at depth (>350 m).

 

  • High grade intersections of up to 705 g/t gold over 0.5 m (see Photo 1);

 

  • High grade widths of up to 61.24 g/t gold over 5.95 m (including 705 g/t gold over 0.5 m);

 

  • Mineralized widths of up to 1.19 g/t gold over 47.0 m; and

 

  • Further evidence (see Northern Superior press release, November 13, 2017) of high grade mineralization occurring beyond 400 m vertical depth within the CBSZ: 3.14 g/t gold over 4.0 m (447- 451 m); including 7.53 g/t gold over 1.0m between 449 m to 450 m.

 

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: “We are extremely pleased that drilling during the fourth quarter of 2017 (Phase II and Phase III drill programs) has confirmed and further defined the presence of several mineralized shoots within the CBSZ in an area approximately 600 m in length to a minimum depth of 350- 400 m, and which remains open along strike to the west, in the down-plunge direction to the east, and at depth. With the Phase III data now in hand, additional modelling of these structures will provide a greater understanding of the economic resource potential for the CBSZ, as well as insight regarding future expansion of the resource: open along strike and at depth.”

Next Steps

 

Northern Superior is currently updating its three-dimensional geological model for the CBSZ which will further illustrate the structural continuity of mineralization associated with the several high-grade, gold-bearing shoots embedded within the CBSZ, and will assist in understanding the potential of the CBSZ as a gold deposit.
