Northern Superior Resources Inc. Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Flow-Through Private Placement

SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2018 / Northern Superior Resources Inc. (SUP:TSX-V; NSUPF:OCTQB) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its December 20, 2018 news release, it has closed its private placement of flow-through units (the "Units") for the maximum gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Private Placement") through the issuance of 30,303,000 pre-consolidation (3,030,300 post-consolidation) Units at a pre-consolidation price of $0.033 ($0.33 post-consolidation) per Unit. Each Unit consists of one flow-through common share and one half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") of the Company. Each full Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional non-flow-through common share at pre-consolidation a price of $0.04 ($0.40 post-consolidation) for a period of one year from the date of closing.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid finder's fees to Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. in a combination of cash, common shares and common share purchase warrants having the same terms as the Warrants.

All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for ground geophysical and core drill programs on its 100% owned Lac Surprise property, west-central Québec. This property is located in one of the more active mineral exploration camps in Québec, the Chapais-Chibougamau camp. IAMGOLD and Vanstar's Nelligan gold property is tied directly onto the northeastern side of the Lac Surprise property. Gold-bearing structures intersected by IAMGOLD and Vanstar extend west onto the Lac Surprise property from which gold grain-in-till and gold geochemical-in-till dispersals trains have been reported (see Northern Superior Resources press release, January 27, 2014). These same structures correspond with gold- bearing showings identified, such as the Black Phoenix showing whereby a quartz- tourmaline grab sample ran 19.9 g/t Au (see Northern Superior press release, October 29, 2014).

The Company also takes this opportunity to provide an update on the proposed share consolidation of the Company's shares on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation shares for one (1) post-consolidation share (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation will become effective in January, 2019. An additional news release announcing the completion of the Consolidation will follow and instruction letters will be mailed to shareholders of the Company advising them how they can obtain their new share certificates.
