Northern Superior begins exploration at Hazeur

Executive Summary

• Northern Superior reported a high‑grade intercept of 1.10 g/t Au over 25.5 m (including 7.28 g/t Au over 1.7 m) from historic drill hole HA‑16‑004 on the newly acquired Hazeur property, located ~350 m west of the Philibert conceptual pit.
• Additional historic intercepts were disclosed from hole HA‑16‑003 (0.94 g/t Au over 8.9 m and 1.49 g/t Au over 1.1 m) further west of the pit, indicating a western extension of the Red Fox zone.
• The company expanded its land package with 38 new claims covering >2,100 ha contiguous to the north of the Chevrier project, bringing total Chibougamau holdings to >70,000 ha and adding multiple prospective geological targets.

Key Details

• Hazeur – Hole HA‑16‑004: 1.10 g/t Au over 25.5 m; includes 7.28 g/t Au over 1.7 m starting at 82.5 m depth.
• Hazeur – Hole HA‑16‑003: 0.94 g/t Au over 8.9 m starting at 99.9 m; 1.49 g/t Au over 1.1 m starting at 118.2 m. Both holes lie ~350–400 m west of the Philibert pit.
• Intercepts are uncut grades; true widths not yet determined.
• Company has completed ≈90 % of its Philibert expansion drilling program; final ~2,000 m pending assay results and QA/QC verification.
• Planned exploration drilling to test the western continuation of the Red Fox footwall zones will commence later this month.
• New land acquisition: 38 map‑designated claims (CDC) totaling >2,100 ha north of Chevrier; located on the Chapais syncline intersected by the Kapunapotagen fault zone.
• Reconnaissance work on new claims includes 80 surface samples and detailed mapping; results pending.
• Geological potential highlighted: possible volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets, copper‑gold vein systems, and orogenic gold zones analogous to Detour Lake and Malartic.
• Total Chibougamau landholdings now exceed 70,000 ha, consolidating Northern Superior’s position as the region’s largest holder.

Notable Quotes

“These early Hazeur results demonstrate meaningful gold mineralization immediately west of Philibert, highlighting the potential for resource growth across our expanding land package.” – Simon Marcotte, President & CEO

“Our technical team has already identified the western extension of the Red Fox zone over a 600‑metre strike length… we are confident this work will generate strong drill targets to expand Philibert and test new ground.” – Adree DeLazzer, Vice‑President Exploration
