Superior Gold Welcomes The Endorsement From Three Highly Experienced Institutional Mining Investors For The Arrangement With Catalyst

The endorsement for the Arrangement comes from three of Superior's largest shareholders: Franklin Templeton, Aegis Financial Corporation and Donald Smith Value Fund L.P. These three, and one other institution, collectively own approximately 22% of Superior's issued and outstanding common shares as of the date hereof.

The directors and officers of Superior unanimously support the Arrangement and strongly recommend that Superior's shareholders ("Shareholders") vote in favour of the Arrangement at the special meeting to be held on June 26, 2023 (the "Meeting"). The Arrangement will provide Shareholders with ownership in a well-funded, diversified gold producer with proven exploration capabilities. Shareholders will retain exposure to the Plutonic gold mine as well as benefit from the future development of high grade deposits at Catalyst's neighbouring Marymia tenements.

"The support from three of Superior's largest Shareholders, who are very sophisticated mining investors, validates the industrial logic of the Plutonic gold belt consolidation. The reason for their support is that it gives Superior Shareholders very real opportunity for growth much earlier than would have otherwise been possible should Superior and Catalyst remain separate. Superior's directors and officers have already unanimously recommended, and intend to vote in favour of the transaction. We strongly encourage all other Shareholders to do the same. Catalyst and Superior's management continue to work closely to plan the integration of the two companies, in anticipation of a favourable Shareholder vote at the Meeting and we encourage shareholders consider reviewing information regarding Catalyst as it becomes available." said Chris Jordaan, Superior's President and Chief Executive Officer.

With regards to the approval process, Superior announces that it successfully obtained an interim order for the Arrangement on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List).

Superior will publish a management information circular (the "Circular") in advance of the Meeting, which among other things will outline the benefits of the Arrangement. The Circular will be mailed to Shareholders and will be filed on Superior's website at https://superior-gold.com and under Superior's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Superior is a Canadian-based gold producer that owns 100% of the Plutonic Gold Operations located in Western Australia. The Plutonic Gold Operations include the Plutonic underground gold mine and central mill, numerous open-pit projects, and an interest in the Bryah Basin joint venture.
