NORTHERN SUPERIOR REPORTS 1.63 G/T GOLD OVER 45.9 METRES AND 0.84 G/T

GOLD OVER 43.0 METRES FROM THE FALCON GOLD ZONE AT LAC SURPRISE

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, January 16, 2023 - Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQX: NSUPF) is pleased to report the first assay results for the Falcon Gold Zone ("FGZ") from its fall 2022 core drill program on its large (20 x 15km) 100% owned Lac Surprise property, located within the Chapais-Chibougamauarea of Québec (see press release dated June 14, 2022; Figure 1).

Highlights Include (grades uncut; lengths measured along hole, Table 1):

• 20 Holes Remain Pending (from the fall 2022 Lac Surprise drill core program);
• DDH LCS-22-067 returned 1.63 g/t Au over 45.9 metres, from 63.1 to 109.0 metres, including 2.91 g/t Au over 19.5 metres from 63.1 to 82.6 metres;
• DDH LCS-22-068 returned 0.84 g/t over 43.0 metres from 79.0 to 122.0 metres, including 7.92 g/t Au over 1.7 metres from 118.6 to 120.3 and,
• DDH LCS-22-071 returned 0.81 g/t Au over 42.0 metres from 82.0 to 124.0 metres, including 6.34 g/t Au over 2.9 metres from 118.6 to 121.5 metres.

Simon Marcotte, President & CEO of Northern Superior, commented: "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. The reported drill holes along with the 6 drill holes remaining to report for the Falcon Zone are expected to be used on a maiden resource calculation in 2023."

2022 Fall Definition Drilling Program Confirms Grades and Widths

The Company completed 11 definition core drill holes in this program designed to test the near surface continuity and depth extension of the FGZ. All five (5) holes reported in this release were successful in intersecting gold bearing zones highlighted by drill hole LCS-22-067 located near surface and at the eastern end of the FGZ intersected 1.63g/t Au over a core length of 45.9m, including 9.77g/t Au over 2.85m and hole LCS-22-068 near surface and at the central area of the FGZ intersected 0.84g/t Au over 43m including 7.92g/t over 1.7m, and hole LCS-22-071 located near surface and from the western end of the FGZ intersected 0.81 g/t Au over 42 metres (Figure 2; Table 1). The FGZ has been defined over a 900- metre strike length and up to 380 metres vertical depth.

Understanding Controls on Gold Mineralization

The FGZ is associated with a silicified-sericitized greywacke host rock. It is oriented approximately east- west and dips steeply (70-80 degrees) to the south. Characteristics defining the mineralized zone include the presence of silicification, sericitization, and pyrite, traceable along the whole 900 metres of strike length and 380 metres vertical depth. Higher gold and silver grades within the FGZ are spatially associated with smoky grey quartz veins and silicification, often containing molybdenite and pyrite, enveloped within strong sericite-carbonate-pyrite alteration. Higher grade intersections are shown in Table 1 (also see press release dated February 8, 2022, Table 2). The mineralization style, gold grade and thickness have strong similarities to the Nelligan Gold Zone located 2 to 3 kilometres to the east of the FGZ.

Core Drill Program Expanded to 8,200 metres

With the success of this program, the Company elected to expand the previously announced 6,200m core drill program to 8,200 metres. The main objectives of this program are to:

1. Infill drilling within the upper part of the Falcon Zone, to provide confirmation of grades, leading to a maiden resource calculation in 2023;
2. 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 (see Figure 3); and
3. Exploration drilling northeast of the Amber Showing, where diamond drilling in 2016 intersected 0.82 g/t Au over 11.55 metres (see Northern Superior press release, July 11, 2016) (Figure 4).

Additional assay results from this program are pending.
