Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SUP, OTCQX:NSUPF) has released results from the diamond drill program on its 100% owned and extensive Croteau property in Quebec.
Among the highlights were 10.94 grams per tonne gold (g/t) over seven metres (m) starting at 272.1m depth.
There were other high-grading gold intercepts across multiple holes, including in step-out drilling.
The drilling was designed to test the discovery area associated with the Croteau North Shear Zone, where hole CRO22-120 intersected 1.06g/t gold over 26m.
It also tested targets within the North Basalt Domain identified in a reverse circulation drill program completed in late 2021 and early in 2022.
"The results presented today on our Croteau Property underscore the exceptional exploration opportunities inherent in this strategic land package,” said Simon Marcotte, chief executive of Northern Superior.
“This newly discovered near surface mineralization in two new areas is within one kilometre of the main zone, already hosting an inferred resource of 640,000 ounces of gold at 1.79 grams per tonne gold.”
He also highlighted the “high-grade nature of the discovery” and added that it “has the potential to transform the project into a resource even more amenable to a combined single mining operation alongside the company's Philibert project and other neighboring projects of the area.”
