NEWS RELEASE
SUPERIOR MINING OPTIONS JUMPING MOOSE PROPERTY IN GOLD-RICH ABITIBI
GREENSTONE BELT
Vancouver, British Columbia – December 13, 2019 – Superior Mining International Corp. (“Superior
Mining” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SUI.H) is pleased to announce that it has optioned the Jumping
Moose Property in the prolific gold Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Superior has optioned the property
from Canadian Gold Miner Corp. (“Canadian Gold”).
Description of the Property
The Jumping Moose Property is located in Burrows and Kemp townships, in the Larder Lake
Mining Division of northeastern Ontario. The Jumping Moose Property is located 25 km north of
the village of Shining Tree, 75 km south of Timmins and 105 km southwest of Kirkland Lake. The
Jumping Moose Property consists of 145 cell claims with an area of approximately 2658 ha and is
7.8 km x 3.8 km in size.
Historical work on the property identified a cluster of large angular and high grade Au-Ag-Te
bearing quartz veins boulders on the east side of Jumping Moose Lake in the 1950’s. Glacial
geology work by the Ontario Geological Survey indicates that the up-ice source of these boulders
is to the north (MENDM map M2653, 2001).
Historical shallow drilling to identify the subcropping source of these boulders has intercepted
elevated gold in bedrock. Drill hole BA-87-4 drilled by Argentex Minerals in 1987 intersected 1.1
m grading 6.96 g/t Au (MENDM assessment report 41P14SW0060). In 2012, drilling by Abalor
Minerals Inc. intersected 4.76 g/t Au over 0.50 m in drill hole JM-12-11 in quartz veinlets in
sheared volcanics with 5% pyrite (MENDM assessment report 2.56341, 2015).
In the fall of 2017, IAMGOLD excavated two trenches in the vicinity of an anomalous IP
chargeability response. In the spring of 2018, IAMGOLD completed channel sampling of folded
quartz veins in sheared gabbro which resulted in 5.50 g/t Au over 3.30 m including 22.8 g/t Au
over 0.65 m on Trench #1 (IAMGOLD assessment report dated Aug. 19, 2019). They also found
anomalous gold within a sulfide rich banded iron formation with up to 0.578 g/t Au over 0.38 m
(IAMGOLD assessment report dated Aug. 19, 2019).
Trench #1 channel sampling assay highlights from sheared gabbro with quartz veining
(IAMGOLD assessment report dated Aug. 19, 2019):
• 5.50 g/t Au over 3.30 m, including 22.8 g/t Au over 0.65 m
• 11.462 g/t Au over 0.50 m
• 5.67 g/t Au over 0.48 m

• 5.17 g/t Au over 0.80 m
In 2018, IAMGOLD followed up the channel sampling up with 6 drill holes totalling 1,122 m.
Drilling to test Trench #1 at depth resulted in drill hole JM-18-001 with 2.02 g/t Au over 1.0 m and
JM-18-004 with 2.30 g/t Au over 0.90 m (IAMGOLD assessment report dated Sept. 2019). Both
intervals are in mafic volcanic rock with up to 10% quartz + carbonate + pyrite veins.

mineralization hosted on the property.
