Northern Superior Completes 2022 Field Program at Croteau Est

INITIATES 6,000m DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM

SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2022 / Northern Superior Resources ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") (TSXV:SUP)(OCTQB:NSUPF) is pleased to announce the initiation of an extensive 6,000m diamond drill program on its 100% owned, extensive (30km x 15km) Croteau Est Property. This program will target the previously reported, new discovery area associated with the Croteau North Shear Zone (CNSZ), located north and parallel to the Croteau-Bouchard Shear Zone (CBSZ). The CBSZ hosts a 640,000 ounce inferred gold resource* (see Northern Superior press release July 19, 2022). This new area of focus has been delineated by a rigorous Reverse circulation (RC) drill program completed in late 2021 and earlier in 2022 (see Northern Superior press release January 11, 2022). This work was further highlighted by core drilling earlier in the year with discovery hole CRO22-120, intersecting 1.06g/t Au over 26m (including 4.98 g/t Au over 3.0m; see Northern Superior press release July 19, 2022).

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "We are very pleased to be back drilling a substantial program at Croteau Est. This coupled with our first pass drill program earlier in 2022 is the first systematic drill program at Croteau Est since the discovery of the CBSZ between 2015 and 2017. We have always believed that the Croteau Est property has enormous mineral potential. With the recently completed RC drill programs, coupled with historic soil sampling and trenching programs, this potential has been brought sharply into focus. We anticipate that this current core drill program will prove the potential of the area north of the CBSZ discovery and highlight its large scale and prospectivity to investors."

2022 Summer Field Program

The 2022 summer field program involved the completion of a geological mapping and prospecting program over selected areas within the Croteau Est property. From 162 rock samples taken on the program, a number of anomalous (>0.1 g/t) gold assays were obtained highlighted by a values of 0.40 g/t Au and 0.47 g/t Au in new quartz-vein hosted discoveries. As well, a number of cross-cutting intermediate and felsic dykes were found, similar to those known to host gold deposits elsewhere in the Chapais-Chibougamou area. In addition, a surface trenching program further tested a number of these results and geological targets (Table 1). Assays are pending for 271 channel samples taken from the trenches. From these various exploration activities, an updated geologic map has been compiled (Figure 1) and that it is now evident that a large gold-bearing hydrothermal system is present north of the CNSZ.

Mineralization within the North Basalt Domain consists of disseminated fine to medium pyrite, concentrated near the margins of quartz-ankerite veinlets hosted within large carbonate-sericite and local silica alteration zones. This alteration often occurs within mafic volcanic flows and hyaloclastite units near the contact with massive gabbro units (sills and/or massive flows).

Current Core Drill Program

The current core drill program is designed to test the extent of this gold- bearing system and number of specific targets within a large 1,400m by 600m area associated with the CNSZ, north of the defined CBSZ resource (Figure 2).
