Northern Superior Resources Inc. Intersects Gold-Bearing Shear Zones, Wachigabau Gold Property, Quebec

SUDBURY, ONTARIO, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Northern Superior Resources Inc. ("Northern Superior" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE: SUP) is pleased to announce the
completion of the 4 hole, spring drill program, on its Wachibagau gold
property in Quebec. This drill program intersected the predicted
extension of a number of gold-bearing structures intersected by
historical diamond drilling in the Grid 'C' (see press release March 1st
2010) area of the Wachibagau Gold Project.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO commented: "The completion of
this drill program has provided invaluable information regarding the
geological setting of gold mineralization on our Wachigabau gold
property. This information coupled with the results expected shortly from
our geophysical program completed on the Property last quarter will
provide the basis for a more aggressive drill program later this
summer."

This 4 drill hole (859 m) program was planned to test the extension of a
number of gold-bearing structures intersected in historical drill holes,
including values of 10.1 g Au/t over 1.0 m, 5.7 g Au/t over 3.2 m, 2.15 g
Au/t over 0.7 m and 2.63 g Au/t over 1.2 m, 1.49 g Au/t over 1.1 m, and
10.3 g Au/t over 0.4 m within the this area of the Property drilled (Grid
C- see press release March 1st, 2010). Intersections of note from this
program include 0.56 ppm Au over 0.80 m in drill hole LS10-018 and 1.69
ppm Au over 0.82 m in drill hole LS10-020.

A ground geophysical program, consisting of induced polarization and
magnetic surveys covering approximately 57 line kilometers, was initiated
during the diamond drill program. The geophysical program is completed
and the Company is currently awaiting results and interpretation to
assist in identifying drill targets for the next phase of exploration on
the property (see Company's web site for layout of grids).

The Wachigabau project is an option and joint venture agreement with
Matamec Explorations Inc. ("Matamec"). Following this phase of
exploration, Northern Superior will have earned-in on its 50% of all
mineral rights on the property, having already paid $25,000 cash and
issued 100,000 shares and 100,000 share purchase warrants to Matamec
under the agreement. In addition, Northern Superior will have already
spent the $500,000 it is committed to spend on the property over three
years. Once Northern Superior has exercised its option, the Company and
Matamec will form a 50- 50 joint venture for all commodities on the
property. IAMGOLD retains certain back-in rights on some of the claims.
Northern Superior is the operator of the project.
