Northern Superior Resources and Chalice Gold Mines Sign a Formal Option and JV Agreements With Respect to Northern Superior's Croteau Est Gold Property

SUDBURY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Apr 21, 2015) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Northern Superior") is pleased to announce it has entered into a formal option and joint venture agreement with a subsidiary of Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:CXN)(ASX:CHN) ("Chalice") relating to Northern Superior's Croteau Est gold property, west-central Québec.

Northern Superior's Croteau Est gold property (which now includes claims which used to be referred to as its Wachonichi property) is located near Chibougamau, Québec. The property is comprised of 213 claims totaling approximately 8,316 hectares which are 100% owned by Northern Superior, and 109 claims totaling approximately 3,856 hectares which are under option from G.L Geoservices and Mark Bouchard.

Pursuant to the agreement, Chalice can earn a 65% joint venture interest in the Croteau Est property by spending an aggregate of $4,000,000 on exploration expenditures over three (3) years. Chalice is obligated to spend a minimum of $500,000 on exploration of the Croteau Est property in the first year regardless of whether it fully exercises its option.

Upon completion of the $4,000,000 expenditure earn-in requirement, a joint venture will be formed with Chalice holding a 65% joint venture interest and Northern Superior owning a 35% joint venture interest and thereafter, each party will be required to contribute to any further programs pro rata according to its joint venture interest. Should a joint venture party fail to make any of its required program contributions, its interest will be diluted accordingly. If a party's joint venture interest is diluted below 10%, its joint venture interest will be converted to a NSR interest as follows:

1. with respect to any claims which are already subject to an NSR (to a third party):
   
   1. for period(s) where the price of gold (as quoted on the London Gold Fix) is less than C$1,800 per ounce, a 1% NSR; and
      
      
   2. for period(s) where the price of gold (as quoted on the London Gold Fix) exceeds C$1,800 per ounce, a 2% NSR; and
      
      
2. with respect to all other claims, a 2% NSR,

and in each case, one-half of the NSR percentages can be bought back for $1,000,000.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior commented, "This agreement with Chalice provides a refreshing opportunity to advance one of Northern Superior's key properties forward, after a period of inactivity. We are very excited at the prospect of finally being able to drill-test key mineral targets with a partner who is as excited and determined to make discovery as we are."

The Croteau Est property is managed under a pre-development agreement with the First Nation community of Oujé Bougoumou, the Cree Regional authority and the Grand Council of the Cree. No finder's fee is payable by Northern Superior in connection with the transaction and Northern Superior and Chalice deal at arm's length with one another. The transaction is not subject to TSXV review or approval.
