SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 21, 2021 / Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") (TSXV:SUP) is pleased to announce that it has completed its acquisition of 100% of Kintivar Exploration Inc.'s (KTR) Gaspard Nord mineral property (see Northern Superior press release, September 15, 2021). Located in the Chapais- Chibougamau gold- copper camp, the Gaspard Nord property consists of 5 claims covering an area of 2.8km² and ties onto the northern part of Northern Superior's large, 100% owned Lac Surprise mineral property (Figure 1).

The Gaspard Nord property overlies a portion of the Opawica Guercherville Deformation Zone (OGDZ) which extends southeast across northern parts of the Lac Surprise property for over 11.5 km and hosts the Company's recently discovered Falcon Zone (gold-silver) (see Northern Superior press release, August 17, 2021) (Figure 2). This zone is believed to be a 900m extension of the neighbouring Vanstar/ IAMGold, 3.2M ounce (at 1.02 g/t Au) Nelligan deposit*, which is also hosted in the OGDZ. Vanstar/ IAMGold recently announced results further supporting the potential western extension of the Nelligan gold deposit onto the Lac Surprise property (see Vanstar/ IAMGold press releases, December 16, 2021). Those results, approximately 2.1 km from the eastern end of the Falcon Zone, included 40.5 m at 1.28 g/t Au (NE-21-178) and 15.0 m at 7.81 g/t Au (NE-21-180): best holes reported from the Falcon Zone include 44.9m at 1.54 g/t Au (LCS21-029) and 42.6m at 1.99g/t Au (LCS21-032) (see Northern Superior press release August 17, 2021).

With the large majority of the OGDZ yet to be explored we see significant potential for additional discoveries along this trend as well two other major deformation zones that cut across the property the Remick and Doda to the south.

Dr. T.F. Morris (PhD., P,Geo, FGAC, ICD.D), President and CEO of Northern Superior commented: "Acquiring additional ground associated with the OGDZ hosting gold showings and soil "B" horizon gold geochemical anomalies, and occurring west of and along strike from the Falcon Gold Zone, is an exciting opportunity to understand the potential for additional gold mineralization west of the Falcon Zone."

"The Company anticipates an exciting exploration year for the Lac Surprise property, with not only investigating the westward extension of the Falcon Zone but also exploring the mineral potential of the Confluence and Amber areas."

"With a $6M budget allocated to exploration in Quebec for 2022 (see Northern Superior press release, December 3, 2021), Northern Superior looks forward to announcing its 2022 exploration plans for not only the Lac Surprise property in the new year, but also for it's 100% owned Croteau Est and Wapistan properties as well. The 2022 program will be the largest ever Québec focused exploration program in the Company's history."

Northern Superior agreed to issue 85,000 common shares of the Company to Kintivar and to grant Kintivar a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the property. The common shares to be issued will be subject to a four month hold ending on April 16, 2022. Northern Superior has also retained an option to buyback 1% of the NSR royalty for $1M and a right of first refusal on any proposed transfer of the NSR royalty to a third party. No finder's fees were payable in connection with the acquisition. TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the transaction was received on December 15, 2021.

Note to readers: Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company's property.
