Northern Superior Drilling Discovers Gold Mineralization, New Growth Annex with Grades up to 4.62 g/t Gold Over 5.5m (Including 20.8 g/t Gold Over 1 m)

SUDBURY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 06/25/12 -- Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SUP) is pleased to announce the discovery of gold mineralization on its 100% owned New Growth Annex Property, located directly west of the Company's Ti-pa-haa-kaa-ning gold property in Northwestern Ontario. Gold mineralization is associated with a structure that has a minimum strike length of 1 km as defined by the diamond drilling program, prospecting, and a ground IP survey. It is important to note that the IP survey, distribution of anomalous gold grains, and gold-bearing boulders (up to 727 g/t gold, see press release December 7, 2011) define additional, high priority targets and structures on the property. This exploration program was completed with the support of Neskantaga First Nation under an Early Economic Benefits Agreement.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "To make such an important discovery so early in an exploration program is exciting and speaks to the potential of this property. Northern Superior has previously reported the discovery of mineralized boulders with anomalously high gold (up to 727 g/t gold, 111 g/t silver, 4.1% copper) and the head of an extensive (3.5 km wide) gold grain-in-till dispersal corridor (see press release December 7, 2011). Clearly this property represents a promising and exciting opportunity for Northern Superior shareholders."

This diamond drill program consisted of only 7 drill holes totalling 2,241 m. The drilling program focussed on and within an area where one of the 3 high gold grade boulders trains was discovered and numerous corresponding priority one IP anomalies were identified. There is an excellent correlation between the spatial location of the boulders reporting high gold grade, the ice flow direction, and the mafic intrusive unit hosting the quartz veins as intersected by diamond drilling. There is a clear resistivity signature along the IP pseudo sections on both sides of the mafic intrusive/quartz mineralized veins as intersected in the diamond drilling program (at least 400m striking NE and 600m striking SW).

The Company's Qualified Person ("QP") for the New Growth Annex gold property is Casey Hetman, P.Geo. As QP, Mr. Hetman has prepared or supervised the preparation of the scientific or technical information for this program and has verified the data disclosed in this press release.
