news releaseNORTHERN SUPERIOR DEFINES TWO NEW GOLD-BEARING SYSTEMS AT LAC SURPRISE GOLD PROPERTY Sudbury, Ontario (December 9, 2019) Northern Superior Resources (“Northern Superior” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has defined two new gold-bearing systems on its 100% owned Lac Superior gold property in Qubec. HIGHLIGHTS: • pervier Gold System - the extension of the Renard gold trend from the IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD”)/Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (“Vanstar”), Nelligan property; and • Roi System - a second system further to the west pervier Gold System: 1. Intersection of 1.54 g/t Au over 15.15m (including 10.80 g/t Au over 0.66m): compliments widths and grades reported from intersections associated with the Renard gold deposit, 5km northeast within the adjoining Nelligan gold property (see Vanstar PowerPoint presentation, May 2019); 2. Intersected ~750m strike length (system remains open) of gold-bearing material consisting of the same package of mineralized rocks described for, and believed to extend from, the Renard gold deposit (see Figure 1): hydrothermally altered (sericite + silicic +/-fuchsite) and veined volcaniclastic and sedimentary packages, hosting disseminations and lenses of pyrite at up to 5 volume %); 3. A positive correlation has been noted between gold and similar pathfinder trace elements as observed at the neighbouring Nelligan Deposit (e.g., Molybdenum); 4. Intersected host volcaniclastic-metasedimentary assemblage is 50-100m wide; and 5. Extent of system is undefined: It is unknown whether the system is offset or folds onto itself (see Figure 1). Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO states: “Defining a ~750m extension of the Renard gold trend onto the Lac Surprise property from a limited drill program is an excellent start. The system remains open over a significant area of the property allowing for the opportunity to intersect additional gold-bearing material with widths and gold grades similar to those associated with the Nelligan deposit. There is clearly justification for additional drilling to pursue this opportunity.” Northern Superior Resources Press Release -December 9, 2019 2 Roi Gold System: 1. The related structure defined by the geophysical data, indicates that this NNE trending structure clearly extends into the E-W trending Geurcherville Deformation Zone (GDZ), creating potential zones favorable to dilatation, more concentrated fluid flow and therefore opportunity for the precipitation of meaningful concentration of gold from solution; 2. Structure can be traced at least 6 km from the magnetic data (open along strike, both directions) and corresponds to a distinct, associated gold grain-in-till anomaly; 3. Intersected structure consists of ~50m of mineralized material comprised of a silicified, weakly brecciated, brittle, hematite-carbonate altered fault breccia; and 4. Wide value of anomalous gold values (including 0.12 g/t Au over 24.60m; Table 2) with elevated Te, S, Bi and Ag (up to 1.06 g/t Ag). Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO further states: “Multiple, geophysical and gold grain defined targets to the north and south of the discovery hole (LCS-19-12) now warrant follow up drilling in the next phase of exploration on this exciting new gold-bearing structure.” Figure 1: Location, pervier and Roi gold systems, Lac Surprise gold property Northern Superior Resources Press Release -December 9, 2019 3 Table 1: Summary, Key Intersections, pervier Gold System Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Width (m) Au (g/t) Incl.
