Northern Superior Resources Inc. Signs Option Agreement to Acquire a 70% Interest in Murgor Resources Inc.'s Waconichi Gold Property, Chibougamau Gold District, Quebec

SUDBURY, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 7, 2012) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Murgor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGR) ("Murgor"), granting Northern Superior an option to acquire 70% of Murgor's Waconichi gold property. This gold property is comprised of 316 mineral claims, or approximately 17,226 hectares, located 10 kilometres northwest of Chibougamau, Québec.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "This strategic acquisition adjoins the northern boundary of Northern Superior's Croteau Est gold property. Structures associated with the mineralized deformation and alteration corridor on Croteau Est likely extend onto the Waconichi gold property making this new acquisition an important extension of the Croteau Est exploration program. In addition, the northern part of the Waconichi gold property encompasses an important east-west shear zone, a key target for exploration and mining in the Chibougamau mining district, from which 6 million ounces of gold and 3 billion pounds of copper have been extracted. Several important exploration targets have already been identified through the discovery of five gold grain dispersal trains, several gold showings (reported values of up to 6.5 g/t gold) and a gold bearing boulder (reported assay of 2,052 g/ t gold or 60 oz/ t gold)."

"Murgor is pleased to enter into this agreement with a partner such as Northern Superior," said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "This option agreement conforms to Murgor's strategy to enter into solid partnerships for certain non-core assets, in order to better focus its exploration efforts on the Golden Arrow deposit east of Timmins, Ontario, where Murgor is continuing to expand the gold resource."

Northern Superior has the option to earn a 70% interest in the Waconichi gold project by meeting the following obligations:

1. spending an aggregate of $1.25 million on exploration on the property over three years: $300,000 in year 1; $350,000 in year 2; and $600,000 in year 3;
2. making cash payments to Murgor totaling $140,000: $30,000 upon signing the Option Agreement; $30,000 by the end of year 1; $30,000 by the end of year 2; and $50,000 by the end of year three; and
3. issuing to Murgor, 1,000,000 common shares of the Company: 200,000 within fifteen (15) days of signing the option agreement; 200,000 at the end of year 1; 300,000 at the end of year 2; and 300,000 by the end of year 3. The deemed value of any shares issued to the Murgor shall be equal to the weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares on the TSXV for the ten (10) trading days ending immediately prior to the date such shares are issued and delivered to Murgor.

Northern Superior retains the right to accelerate any of the obligations.

The parties have agreed that any further claims which are staked within 1.5 km of the property (excluding any claims which currently form part of the Croteau Est property), shall form part of the option. The Companies have agreed to execute and deliver a definitive joint venture agreement no later than 90 days after the signing of the option agreement.

The transaction is conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange approval.
