  VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Superior Mining International Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:
SUI) is pleased to announce that it has been issued an Exploration Permit
(EP 52251) on ground immediately adjacent to that of the Victory property
on which the Company has recently reported encouraging near surface gold
intercepts from reverse circulation (RC) drilling.

    The new property (referred to as "Victory North" - Figure 1:
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/0406SUI.pdf) comprises an elongate
NE-SW block of 249.7 Ha with topographical linear highs of magnetite-gold
bearing Pleistocene beach strandlines known as "blacksand leads". With
the addition of the Victory North property the Company now has interest
in approximately 18 km of the New Zealand coastline which hosts the
targeted blacksand leads. An airborne helimag survey flown in 2008 by
Southern Geoscience Consultants over the Victory property identified a
number of shallow linear magnetic anomalies that are coincident with
Quaternary-aged strandlines that visually can be traced on to, and along
the Victory North property. Ground truthing of these anomalies on the
northern part of the Victory property have identified two distinct target
types: i) localized higher-grade embayment type strandline mineralization
where moraine terraces have created lower energy depositional regimes,
and ii) large tonnage potential exposed long-drift derived strandlines.
It is the embayment target which the Company has recently identified a
number of mineralized zones (+0.1 g/t Au or +200 mg/m3) through RC
drilling, which will be the focus of a bulk sampling program in Q2 2010.

    Documented historical exploration (Wood, 2003) over the property reports
Bangka drilling from the 1930's intersecting significant gold intervals
(+0.1 g/t Au) from 3 of 9 holes drilled to a maximum of 0.41 g/t Au over
9.1 metres from surface. More recent exploration the 1980's (Amax
Exploration NZ Ltd.) focused on the alluvial gold potential of more
easterly moraine terraces.

    Preliminary exploration activities will comprise ground magnetic surveys,
along with reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling where
applicable. If results from bulk sampling are encouraging from
strandlines that continue into the property from the Victory ground, the
Company may elect to fast track the exploration process by undertaking a
number of strategic test pits in the southern part of the property.

Corporation
