Cormark Securities has raised its price target on Northern Superior Resources (TSXV: SUP) to $2.00 from $1.50, citing summer drilling success at Philibert and a higher in-situ value assumption of US$60 per ounce.
The brokerage writes that Northern Superior “has room to the upside both from continued exploration success and the potential for a takeout by a larger company looking for sizeable resources in a low-risk jurisdiction.”

The firm’s update follows a 20,000-metre expansion drill program that expanded mineralization beneath the current resource pit and outlined a new high-grade zone over 200 metres of strike and 150 metres of vertical extent.
Headline intercepts included 18.0 metres at 2.48 g/t (including 4.9 metres at 7.02 g/t), 21.6 metres at 4.82 g/t from 583.0 metres (including 7.0 metres at 11.86 g/t from 595.0 metres), and 22.2 metres at 2.09 g/t (including 10.0 metres at 3.54 g/t).
Cormark applies the US$60 per ounce in-situ metric to 3.54 million ounces of current resources across Philibert, Chevrier, and Croteau, versus an explorer/developer comps average of US$43 per ounce. The broker also points out SUP shares are up 117% since May, reflecting growing investor attention to Philibert.
The report emphasizes Philibert’s location in Québec’s Chibougamau gold camp—a Tier 1 jurisdiction with road, hydro and rail access—adjacent to IAMGOLD’s 8.3 million ounces Nelligan project.
Northern Superior Resources last traded at $1.41 on the TSX Venture.
