Northern Superior Discovers New Showings, Wapistan Property, Quebec

SUDBURY, January 29, 2019 - Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") (TSXV: SUP), is pleased to report on exploration results from its 2018 Fall exploration program on its 100% owned Wapistan property, James Bay Lowlands, Québec.

General Overview:

While currently focused on initiating and executing drill programs on its 100% owned Ti-pa-haa-kaa-ning (TPK) property in Northwestern Ontario (under an option agreement with Yamana Gold) and its 100% owned Lac Surprise property in Québec, Northern Superior is also pleased to report on results at its Wapistan property.

Wapistan is an important, early stage mineral exploration property within Northern Superior's exploration property portfolio. Strategically positioned within the James Bay Lowlands, an emerging and important exploration and mining camp in the James Bay Lowlands of Québec (see Wapistan project summary, Northern Superior Resources website, www.nsuperior.com), the Company seeks to advance exploration on the property through an option and/ or joint venture partner.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "Northern Superior completed a small prospecting program on the Wapistan Property (in September 2018). The purpose of the program was to verify and prospect key historic showings and prospect favorable geological sites identified from airborne imagery (see press release, Northern Superior Resources, May 16, 2017)."

Key Findings:

1. Verification through prospecting of four key historic properties previously reported- Lac Atsynia, Know Bull, Threefold, Lac Kaychikuapichu-NW (refer to Figure 1, Table 1 below)
2. Discovery of 4 new showings (Figure 1, Table 1)
   
3. PG-Zone West
4. Lac Kaychikuapichu
5. Nimaastaakuwit
6. Atikamakuch North

New Showings:

PG-Zone West (10 grab samples collected)

Host rock consists of moderately to strongly sheared, fine grained basalt to andesitic basalt. Zone is approximately 60m wide striking generally east- west, traceable for several hundreds of meters. Best assay results include 0.18 g/t gold, 0.51 g/t silver and 934 ppm copper derived from samples of pyrite and pyrrhotite-bearing and quartz vein-bearing tonalite dykes.

Lac Kaychikuapichu (8 grab samples collected)

Host rock consists of fine-grained, dark grey-green, variably sheared basalt hosting numerous, shear parallel, quartz veins up to 5m wide. Northern boundary of the showing marked by a laterally continuous zone of gossaneous, magnetic iron formation. Best assay results from the iron formation include 0.017 g/t gold, 0.32 g/t silver and 504 ppm copper.

Nimaastaakuwit (18 grab samples collected)

Host rock consists of gossaneous, variably sheared and folded iron formation at least 60m wide, enclosed within quartzite and intermediate volcanic rocks. Sulphide-bearing, iron formation-hosted quartz veins, approximately 30cm wide, returned best assay results of 0.04 g/t gold, 2.63 g/t silver and 2660 ppm copper.

Atikamakuch North (12 grab samples collected)

Host rock includes variably sheared, weakly to moderate magnetic, komatiitic basalt and iron formation. Best assay results include 0.06 g/t gold, 1.37 g/t silver and 1700 ppm copper, which were collected from an iron-stained quartz vein, hosting disseminated sulphides.

Verification of Old Showings:

Lac Atsynia (12 grab samples collected)

Verification of host rock consisting of variably silicified, komatiitic fine grained grey to grey-green basalt to basaltic-andesite with a strongly silicified, cream-coloured quartzite horizon. Best assay results from this program include 0.02 g/t gold, 0.55 g/t silver and 265 ppm copper.

Know Bull (5 grab samples collected)

Verification of host rock consisting of a gossaneous, strongly sheared zone of fine grained, dark grey-green basalt with disseminated, trace pyrite-pyrrhotite and quartz veinlets. Adjacent to the gossan is strongly magnetic banded iron formation, width of which could not be determined due to overburden cover. Best assay results from this program include 0.01 g/t gold, 0.11 g/t silver and 31 ppm copper.

Threefold (12 grab samples)

Verification of host rock consisting primarily of variably sheared, pink-grey coloured, medium grained tonalite with varying degrees of sericite alteration and hematite staining. Best assay results from this area, including 0.03 g/t gold, 4.55 g/t silver and 213 ppm copper, were returned from shear hosted quartz veins, containing blebby sulphides.
