Northern Superior Resources Inc has announced first assay results for the Falcon Gold Zone (FGZ) from its fall 2022 core drill program on its 100% owned Lac Surprise property in Québec, which included 1.63 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 45.9 metres (m) as well as 2.91 g/t gold over 19.5m.
The gold exploration company said other notable results included 0.81 g/t gold over 42m from 82m to 124m.
“The results released today for the Falcon Gold Zone continue to show robust thickness and strong vertical continuity, again highlighting the similarities of the Falcon Gold Zone to the Nelligan gold deposit of IAMGOLD,” Northern Superior Resources CEO Simon Marcotte said in a statement.

“The reported drill holes along with the six drill holes remaining to report for the Falcon Zone are expected to be used on a maiden resource calculation in 2023,” Marcotte added.
Northern Superior noted that it completed 11 definition core drill holes in the current program designed to test the near surface continuity and depth extension of the FGZ, with all five holes reported today being successful in intersecting gold bearing zones.
As well, the company reported that it has elected to expand the previously-announced 6,200m core drill program to 8,200m, with the main objectives being:
- Infill drilling within the upper part of the Falcon Zone, to provide confirmation of grades, leading to a maiden resource calculation in 2023;
- Further exploration drilling on the Opawica-Guercheville Deformation Zone, concentrating on the area near the intersections in LCS-19-003ext, LCS-22-064 and LCS-20-019; and
- Exploration drilling northeast of the Amber Showing, where diamond drilling in 2016 intersected 0.82 g/t gold over 11.55 metres.
It added that additional assay results from 20 holes from the current program are pending.
Northern Superior is a gold exploration company focused on the Chapais-Chibougamau camp in Québec. The company has consolidated the largest land package in the region, with total land holdings of more than 62,000 hectares.
