Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") continues to intersect high grade gold mineralization in the Company's 19-hole, 8,022 m Fall-2012 Croteau Est diamond drill program.
Assay results from these seven holes have extended the drilled portion of the four gold mineralized zones (Marco, Dede, Zone B and Zone C) a further 150 m to the east. Previously the Company reported on gold assay results from the first five drill holes of the program (see press release, November 8, 2012). With the release of these seven holes (Figure 1), the total strike length of known gold mineralization within the alteration corridor is now 650 m in length and remains open to the east, west, and at depth.
Table 1 lists the new assay highlights. Note that the high grade gold zone (75.44 g/t Au over 4.80 m) intersected in CRO12-046 between 241.20m and 246.00m is present within a much broader zone of mineralization that is characterized by several anomalous gold intervals (see Table 1) between 241.20m and 315.00m.
In addition to the 7-holes reported in this press release, the Company has completed 7 additional holes (Figure 1) that have intersected similar rock types, quartz veining, alteration assemblages, sulfides and visible gold (CRO12-049) up to 150 m further east of drill hole CRO12-48. The alteration corridor and associated gold mineralization remain open along strike in both directions and at depth.
Dr. T.F. Morris President and CEO commented: "What continues to build confidence in the Croteau Est story, is how well the mineralized zones continue to "hang together" over such a long strike length and even to depth. The 2012 Croteau Est fall drill program is now complete and the Company will report assay results for the last seven holes when they become available."
The Company's Qualified Persons ("QP") for the Croteau Est gold property are Michel LeBlanc, P.Geo. and Casey Hetman, P.Geo. As QP's, Mr. Hetman and Mr. LeBlanc have prepared or supervised the preparation of the scientific or technical information for this program and have verified the data disclosed in this press release. The Company has a rigorous QA/QC program in place to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of drill core. All drill core is marked for sampling and then split in half with a diamond saw blade. Samples are placed in sealed bags with security tags. All samples were assayed using a standard fire assay, 30 gram nominal aliquot weight with an AA finish. Over-limit samples were re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. Standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted every 25 samples. ALS Canada Ltd. performed the primary assaying with duplicates analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Sudbury. ALS Canada Ltd. and AGAT Laboratories implement independent QA/QC protocols that include the insertion of certified blanks and standards as part of their routine analysis.
