VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 30, 2021
/CNW/ - Superior Mining International Corp. ("Superior
Mining" or the "Company") (TSXV: SUI) (OTC: SUIFF)
is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement with a private
firm for the acquisition of the Monexco Group Property located
about 10km north of the town of Chibougamau, Northern Quebec region. The Property,
extending for 30km on its longest axis, is comprised of 204 claims
totalling more than 11,000 hectares.
Highlights:
- Superior Mining International Corp. will obtain 100% of Monexco
Group Property, north of Chibougamau, Québec
- The property includes known high-grade gold surface occurrences
distributed over about 400 metres of strike length
- Property straddling a newly defined regional structure with
proven fertility for gold
- Close to infrastructures and all year long accessibility
The Monexco gold trend has several historical gold grades in the
10 g/t to up to 126.8 g/t* range from various stripped areas
distributed over 400 metres of strike length. The whole land
package is centered on the Faribeault Fault Zone and associated
cross cutting structures identified for its gold potential by the
province of Québec MERN (Ministère Énergie et Ressources
Natuelles).

Chibougamau Area
The Chibougamau segment
corresponds to the northeastern portion of the Abitibi greenstone
Belt. The area can be represented as a folded sequence of mafic to
felsic volcanic sequences interlayered with sediments. An allmark
of the area is the extensive layered mafic and ultramafic
intrusions interposed in the stratigraphic sequence. The Doré Lake
complex is the main host of the Chibougamau Central Camp and had
historical production of 74Mt for a metal production of 4.3 Moz and
1.3Mt of copper extracted from polymetallics veins and shears
zones.

The regional geology was well documented over decades of mapping
and drilling works, mainly through favorable outcropping conditions
when compared to the remainder of the Abitibi Belt. Unlike the
copper bearing veins exploration, little attention was devoted to
gold systems. Monexco gold showings (see map) follow a
North-East inferred strike slip fault intersecting the East-West
Faribeault shear and fault zone.
Monexco Gold Trend and Showings
The Monexco cluster of high-grade gold showings covers an area
making approximately 400 metres along strike and 400 metres across
the main structure. The quartz-tourmaline veins and
quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins sets follow East-West and North-East
orientations, hosted in strong iron carbonate alteration affecting
both mafic volcanic, gabbros and quartzo-feldspathic dykes. A dozen
or so stripped and sampled areas were recorded accurately by a
previous operator. Following table summarised compiled historical
results and observations from four main areas. Displayed
coordinates are centered on each stripped area and represent a
distance of about 100 to 150 metres between each location.

Faribeault Fault Potential
The Province, through the MERN (Ministère Energie Ressources
Naturelle), has highlighted an area south of the Faribeault Fault
Zone extending along the property for about 5km of strike length as
a favorability zone for orogenic gold deposits. The structure shows
similarities with other regional gold bearing structures of the
Abitibi Belt such as the proximity of discordant lithological
contacts, strong iron carbonate alteration, a high density of dykes
and cross cutting north-east strike slip faults.
The Monexco Group Property covers about 30km of this main
structure, it also extending over north-east trending lineament
which were recognized using magnetic data enhancement and
filtering.
Terms of the Agreement
Superior Mining International Corp. will pay an aggregate amount
of $100,000 and issue 3.3 million
shares in exchange for 100% interest in the Property. The Sellers
retain a Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty of 3%. The level of the
Royalty may be reduced at any time from 3% to 2% subject to certain
payments.
