Northern Superior Identifies Additional Exploration Targets, Grizzly Property, West-Central Quebec

SUDBURY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2014) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:SUP) (the "Company" or "Northern Superior") is pleased to report that it has identified 4 additional exploration targets on its Grizzly Property, west-central Quebec (see Figure 1). "Lac Porphyre-Sud" and "Bras Pichamobi" represent volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets, "Ruisseau Daladier-Nord" represents a magmatic nickel-copper +/- platinum-group-element (Ni-Cu ± (PGE)) target, and "Lac Mahekan" target represents a shear-hosted gold-copper (Au-Cu) target (see Table 1).

Target Name Size Target Commodity Description
Bras Pichamobi Regional VMS Zn-Ag-Cu-Au Felsic lapilli tuff and porphyritic rhyolite w/ sericite-chlorite alteration, disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite. Fuchsite alteration in an E-W shear zone.
Lac Porphyre-Sud Regional VMS Zn-Ag-Cu-Au 14-DDH completed by Exploration Noranda Ltd, 1988 (GM49083) testing geophysical conductors within a felsic volcanic unit. Highlights: up to 6.5 g/t Ag over 23.5m in a zone of 50% pyrite, 1% pyrrhotite in a matrix of rhyolite (DDH LP-88-10 from 67.40 to 90.90m).
Lac Mahekan Local Shear-hosted Au-Cu Au-Cu Brecciated andesitic basalt with disseminated pyrite along a decimetric chert horizon.
Ruisseau Daladier-Nord Regional Magmatic Ni-Cu ± (PGE) Ni-Cu ± (PGE) Chip samples assayed upto 0.73 % Ni, 0.65% Cu, and 0.20% Co, associated with a zone of "blebs, massive, and disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, and cobalt" from two showings approximately 300m apart located along strike at the contact between the gabbro and adjacent basalt. 6-DDH completed by Tomiska Copper Mines, 1957 (GM7521B), intersected up to 0.92% Ni, and 0.60% Cu over an interval of 10-feet (from 55 to 65 feet, in "Hole No.4", collared in, and drilled down-dip of mineralization to test extent at depth: averaging 0.61% Ni and 0.40% Cu over 75-feet (length of the hole), ending in mineralization). PGE potential has not been tested.

Table 1: Summary of additional targets identified on the Grizzly Property.

Two of the targets (Bras Pichamobi (Zn-Ag-Cu-Au) and Lac Mahekan (Au-Cu)) were defined during a geologic and structural mapping survey completed by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles ("MRN") Québec and published in its report titled "New Mineral Exploration Targets: 2013 Geoscience Projects" (the "MRN Report"). An additional shear-hosted gold target, reported as the "Icestorm Showing (Au)" was identified in this report which corresponds to the "Grêlon Showing" that was discovered by Northern Superior during the first phase of exploration on the property in 2013 (see Press Release February 26, 2014).

The MRN Report highlights "new exploration targets of economic interest that were identified during its 2013 geoscience projects". The Grizzly Property and surrounding area were part of a mapping and geologic compilation study completed by MRN geologist F. Leclerc "Mapping and compilation - Lac Lamarck area, Chapais-Chibougamau". The MRN Report can be accessed from: ftp://ftp.mrn.gouv.qc.ca/Public/Bibliointer/Perio/1025647/2013.pdf.

Two additional targets (Lac Porphyre-Sud ((Zn-Ag-Cu-Au) and Ruisseau Daladier-Nord (Ni-Cu ± (PGE)) were identified by Northern Superior from a historical data compilation exercise.

Dr. T.F. Morris President and CEO states: "The identification of these additional targets on the Grizzly Property demonstrates that favorable geologic and structural conditions exist to host multiple styles of mineralization that are common to other areas of the Chibougamau-Chapais camp. We look forward to advancing this project and are currently in the process of planning for the next phase of exploration".
