SUP Northern Superior Resources Inc

Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) (the "Company" or "Northern
Superior") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new gold-bearing structural
zone (Figure 1) and at least seven additional gold targets on its Croteau Est
Gold property, Quebec. The Company completed a 108-hole, 1,147m winter reverse
circulation (RC) drill hole program, based on positive exploration results from
its 2013 program (see press release November 12, 2013).


The lithology, structure, alteration, mineralization, and geochemistry used in
defining these new discoveries were derived from bedrock chips recovered from
both the 2013 and 2014 RC drill programs. The 2014 RC drill program was
successful in: (1) developing further understanding of the geological and
structural controls associated with gold-mineralization within the previously
defined Croteau-Bouchard Shear Zone ("CBSZ"); and (2) identifying additional
high-priority gold and base metal targets on the Property.


Among the highlights of the exploration was the discovery of a new gold bearing
brittle fault/shear zone (Croteau Fault) in proximity to the eastern extent of
the currently defined CBSZ. This new structural zone is defined by 25 RC drill
holes that identify a 200m to 700m wide, NNE-SSW striking outer envelope of
anomalous As-Co-Ni mineralization, over a strike length of 3.9 km and is open
along strike in both directions. The central core of the alteration envelope
contains an inner zone of anomalous gold-silver mineralization of up to 111 ppb
Au and 280 ppb Ag in RC drill hole intercepts. 


This mineralized structure is an exciting new and significant discovery that
shares a number of structural and alteration characteristics with several other
past producing gold mines in the Chibougamau-Chapais camp such as the Cooke, Joe
Mann, Gwillim and Norbeau mines that are similarly located on northeasterly
trending faults, specifically where they intersect east-west shear zones. In
addition to the Croteau Fault, the recent RC drill hole program identified at
least seven new locations, in four separate target areas on the Property, where
shearing and anomalous hydrothermal alteration indicate that follow-up trenching
and channel sampling is warranted.


Dr. T.F. Morris President and CEO states: "In addition to the CBSZ, these recent
discoveries clearly demonstrate the potential for the discovery of additional
high-quality exploration prospects on the Croteau property. The geological and
structural framework defined by NSR on this Property compares to that of other
economic gold deposits mined in the Chapais-Chibougamau camp, and provides an
excellent opportunity for Northern Superior's shareholders. Northern Superior's
planned 2014 summer program will explore the Croteau Fault and the newly
identified targets to define specific, high-potential targets for
diamond-drilling."


About Northern Superior Resources Inc.

The Croteau Est property is one of four mineral properties that Northern
Superior is currently exploring. The other three properties (Lac Surprise,
Grizzly and Ti-pa-kaa-haa-ning ("TPK")) also represent regional-scale
exploration programs, either 100% owned and operated by Northern Superior or
Northern Superior having the right to earn a 100% interest in the property.
Exploration to date has identified numerous drill- ready targets for gold,
copper and silver on the TPK property of northwestern Ontario, gold/ VMS/
magmatic Ni, Cu +/- PGE's on the Company's Grizzly property, west- central
Quebec, and shear-hosted gold on the Company's Lac Surprise, west-central
Quebec.


The Company's Qualified Person ("QP") for the Croteau Est property is Ron Avery
(P.Geo.). As the QP, Mr. Avery has prepared or supervised the preparation of the
scientific and technical information for this program and has verified the data
disclosed in this press release.
