1 Mineral Resource Estimate based on results from 2020 drilling program. Refer ASX announcement "Steam Engine revised Mineral Resource Estimate: JORC Measured and Indicated Resources upgraded by 31%", dated 22 March 2021.
"We have now traced Steam Engine-typegold lodes and mineralisation in a regular pattern stretching from the Dinner Creek Lode to the southern edge of the Bottletree Prospect, which is about six kilometres to the south. In addition to the exciting developments at Bottletree, we will also be expanding our exploration plans for Steam Engine to test its potential to be a major gold deposit.
"The discovery of high-gradegold in rock chips from the poorly exposed Windmill East-Originprospects is a truly exciting development for this emerging North Queensland gold project. Together with detailed geological mapping, we are only just beginning to appreciate that the Steam Engine gold system is a much larger system than previously thought.

onlyHIGHLIGHTS:
usepersonalSuperior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) (Superior, the Company) announced today the identification of two areas containing significantly mineralised multiple gold lodes, located between Steam Engine and Bottletree
prospects, at its 100%-ownedGreenvale Project, approximately 210kms west of Townsville, Queensland (Figures 1 and 2).
Although the Company has not conducted any prior work at the new Windmill East and Origin prospects, the lodes appear to be highly mineralised and identical in style to the Steam Engine Lode. Rock chips collected during November 2021 returned up to 65.9 g/t Au from Origin and up to 18.6 g/t Au from Windmill East.
Gold-in-soilgeochemical data over the area indicates that Windmill East and Origin are directly on-trendto the Dinner Creek Lode, located about 1.5 kms to the north east. A large anomalous zone of gold-in-soilslocated around the outer northern edge of the Bottletree Copper Prospect lies about 1km to the south of Origin.
The Windmill East and Origin prospects provide Superior with excellent potential to significantly increase total Resource ounces for the Steam Engine Project, further boosting the potential of the project, which currently totals 1.73 million tonnes grading 2.2 g/t Au for 122,000 ounces of gold1.

"We look forward to releasing an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate for Steam Engine during February, as we progress an interim strategy study that compares the merits of establishing a scalable processing plant against various haulage and toll-treatmentpathways.
only "These are exciting times for Superior, with Steam Engine's large-scalepotential adding to the recent ground-breakingcopper developments revealed at the nearby Bottletree Copper Prospect, and with the market starting to appreciate the potential of our new discoveries."

New Windmill East and Origin Prospects
ForMapping has established that gold mineralisation at the Windmill East Prospect, 2.5kms north of Bottletree (Figure 2), is hosted in intense quartz-sericite-pyritealteration in meta-tonalite.This alteration closely resembles alteration observed in the mineralised lodes at Steam Engine, located about 1.5kms to the northwest. There are several parallel north to north northeast trending lodes which outcrop very poorly but can be traced for over 250m (Figure 3).
Mineralisation at the Origin Prospect to the southwest is also in two or more lodes, but the best mineralisation appears to be within quartz veins that are contained within the phyllic alteration in meta-tonalite.Mineralisation may also be developed within the phyllic alteration zones (Figure 4).

Historical shallow drill holes are shown, mapped lodes where exposed (white) and rock chip gold results (g/t Au).

Despite the poor exposure, the trends of the Windmill East lodes and elevated gold-in-soil zones (Figure 2) suggest a connection with the Dinner Creek Lode and it seems highly likely that the two prospects are part of the same system. The poor gold tenor at Dinner Creek may be due to a different host rock lithology (mafic to intermediate schist) compared to intrusive meta-tonalite at Windmill East-Origin.

Only two rock chip samples were taken from each prospect. Values of 18.63 g/t Au and 6.97 g/t Au were obtained from Windmill East and 65.92 g/t Au and 3.19 g/t Au from Origin. These are significant gold numbers, which require further sampling and investigation before drill testing.

onlyThe very limited shallow historical drilling by Pancontinental produced a best result of 2m @ 1.72 g/t Au at Origin (hole ORC001, 12-14m) and 2m @ 1.84 g/t Au at Windmill (WERC003, 21-23m). Given that the lodes normally dip northwest, the orientation of some of the Origin holes parallel this direction and may not have tested the target zone. Overall, the Windmill East and Origin lodes remain largely untested and have potential for strike extensions and additional yet to be identified parallel lodes.

The Windmill East and Origin Prospects present significant potential to add substantial ore to the Steam Engine Resource.
