Northern Superior Resources Inc. Informed of Chalice Gold Mines Croteau Est Option Intentions

SUDBURY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 22, 2015) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Northern Superior") has been informed by Chalice Gold Mines Limited ("Chalice") that it has elected not to complete the exercise of its option to earn a 65% interest in Northern Superior's Croteau Est Gold Property. Chalice did incur the minimum requirement of $500,000 of expenditures.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "We appreciate that issues other than exploration results often drive decisions on why a company may or may not choose to complete option earn-ins. Our understanding of the results from Chalice's 2015 summer exploration program(s) is that they were encouraging. However, having just received all final reports from Chalice, Northern Superior will review and assess the reports, and we look forward to reporting those results in a press early in January, 2016. Northern Superior has regained 100% control of this valuable property."
