Northern Superior Resources (TSXV: SUP) has begun exploration activities at their newly acquired Hazeur property in the Chibougamau Gold Camp of Quebec. The property, found adjacent to their flagship Philibert Project, is believed to contain the western extension of key zones of the Philibert conceptual pit.
Northern Superior is currently in the process of compiling historical data at Hazeur, including the re-logging and re-sampling of available core to address gaps in prior works while also undertaking reconnaissance programs across the new claims. The effort so far is said to have traced a western extension of the Philibert Red Fox mineralized zone for 600 metres to the west of the current conceptual pit.
Highlights from that program include:
- HA-16-003: 0.94 g/t gold over 8.9 metres from a depth of 99.9 metres
- And 1.49 g/t gold over 1.1 metres from a depth of 118.2 metres
- HA-16-004: 1.10 g/t gold over 25.5 metres from a depth of 82.5 metres
- Including 7.28 g/t gold over 1.7 metres
Drill hole HA-16-004 is believed to have intersected the western extension of the Red Fox zone, part of the Philibert conceptual pit. Mineralization was intersected 350 metres to the west of that pit, while hole HA-16-003 intersected mineralization 400 metres to the west of the conceptual pit, and 70 metres west of HA-16-004.
“Our technical team has already identified the western extension of the Red Fox zone over a 600-metre strike length west of the Philibert pit. Re-logging and re-sampling are filling gaps in the historic record, and reconnaissance work has collected 80 outcrop samples in the Kapunapotagen Fault Zone. We are confident this work will generate strong drill targets to expand Philibert and test new ground within the Hazeur and Chevrier projects,” commented VP of Exploration for Northern Superior Adree DeLazzer.
Multiple zones of mineralized horizons are believed to exist at Hazeur, with complication work highlighting other zones of interest on the property. Other zones includes the 7597 series of shallow historical holes which have encountered lower-grade near surface mineralization.

“These early Hazeur results demonstrate meaningful gold mineralization immediately west of Philibert, highlighting the potential for resource growth across our expanding land package,” commented Northern Superior CEO Simon Marcotte.
A drill program is currently in the process of being designed to test the western continuation of the Red Fox footwall zones, with drilling slated to begin later this month. Fieldwork is planned to occur concurrently that is focused on mapping, prospecting, and targeted sampling in areas of bedrock exposure.
Separately, Northern Superior also indicated this morning that it has expanded the land position at the Chevrier property. A further 38 claims covering 2,100 hectares contiguous to current claims have been added to the property. Field work has already begun at the property, with 80 samples having already been collected and set for assay.
Northern Superior last traded at $1.40 on the TSX Venture.
