Superior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) is pleased to report the second batch of assays from the Resource Drilling Program at the Steam Engine Gold Deposit, located approximately 210 kilometers west of Townsville, Queensland. The results further boost the consistently strong intersections returned in the first batch of assays from both the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge Lodes.
Superior's Managing Director, Peter Hwang, commented:
"We are pleased, although not surprised with the ounce-plus grade result in SRC034. Steam Engine is of a similar deposit style to the large Charters Towers goldfield, which produced 6.6 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 34 ounces per tonne. We are however, a little surprised that the high grade result in SRC034 came from the southern part of the Steam Engine Lode, as the resource modelling had drawn our attention to the start of a very interesting broad high grade zone at the northern end of the lode. Assays from this northern high-grade zone are yet to be received.
The latest results follow the recently announced first batch of assays that returned extensive high grade intercepts from most of the holes. The drilling to date, including historical drilling, has demonstrated good potential for the Steam Engine system to deliver a significant and sizeable deposit. Barely 30% of the known 2.5 kilometre
1 Refer to ASX announcement dated 4 May 2020.

outcropping strike extent has been drill tested in any detail and only to near-surface depths. Indications so far are that the northern and southern extents of the Mineral Resource are strongly mineralised and a couple of historic holes demonstrate that the Steam Engine Lode extends down-dip to considerable depth.
As a result, we are currently planning a re-start of the drilling, this time focusing on expanding the mineral resource along strike and down dip on both the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes. We will also be examining the potential for the existence of a recently announced fourth parallel lode zone located 1.2 kilometres east of Eastern Ridge."
Assay results
The second batch of assay results are from a total of 16 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes from the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes for a total of 568 metres of drilling. This includes:
- 11 RC drill holes for 428 metres (Steam Engine Lode); and
- 5 RC drill holes for 140 metres (Eastern Ridge Lode).
These holes have ranged in total depths from 11 metres (terminated in historic stope workings) to 65 metres at the Steam Engine Lode and from 20 to 35 metres at the Eastern Ridge Lode.
A total of approximately 2,000 samples from the drilling program have been submitted to SGS Australia Pty Ltd laboratories in Townsville for gold and multi-element analysis. To date, approximately 1,000 samples have been assayed and approximately 1,000 remain outstanding.
Significant assay results are listed in Table 1, which sets out all intersections of the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes. Included in the table are some results from within a footwall lode to the main Steam Engine Lode. This includes 'footwall lode' results from hole SRC032 (results from intersections of the main Steam Engine Lode in SRC032 have been reported in ASX Announcement dated 14 September 2020). Figure 4 shows the relationship of the footwall lode with the main Steam Engine Lode.
Drill hole collar details are provided in Table 2.
Ounce grade intercept
Hole SRC034 returned a value of approximately 1.5 ounces per tonne gold (47.5 g/t gold) from 7 metres depth, from within a gold-materialised intercept averaging 14 metres @ 4.9 g/t gold from 0 metres to 14 metres downhole (including 7 m @ 9.2 g/t from 7 metres) (Figure 3, Table 1). The drillhole intersects the mineralisation at close to a perpendicular angle and a true width for the mineralisation is estimated at just over 12 metres at the location of the drill hole itself, but reduces in size down dip to just under six metres at the next nearest drill hole. The pinching and swelling of the gold lodes is often a feature of this kind of mineralisation.
The intersection of ounce gold grade values is not unexpected at the Steam Engine Project. The mesothermal lode type of mineralisation is noted worldwide for being associated with high grade ore shoots. Many locations have historically been mined at very high grades (e.g. the historical workings at Charters Towers averaged a grade of approximately one ounce per tonne over the life of the historic goldfield).
Superior's objective at the Project is to pursue the location of similar high-grade lode zones within the lode structures at the Steam Engine, Eastern Ridge and other known lodes in the area. To this end modelling has been carried out to establish the theoretical high grade shoot corridors (Figure 1), which are planned to be explored to depth once a better understanding of the gold mineralisation is obtained from further drilling and resource development.
The current drilling program
The current drilling forms part of a resource infill and extension drilling program for the purposes of a Scoping Study to examine the viability of mining the current Mineral Resource.

This program was completed on 18 September 2020 and included the Stage 1 infill drilling on the existing resource as well as an extended program to identify additional mineral resource.
Once all outstanding assays have been received, a revised Mineral Resource Estimate will be completed to reflect the additional data. This is to be followed by a Scoping Study of the Steam Engine Project to examine the viability of mining the current Mineral Resource.
The drilling program totaled 3,756 metres from 73 drill holes and includes;
- 65 RC drill holes for 3,059 metres;
- 6 shallow Diamond Core drill holes for 302 metres; and
- 2 deeper RC/Diamond tailed drill holes for 395 metres.
The additional RC drilling has targeted new areas that are of open pit potential at the northern end of the Steam Engine lode, at the northern end of the Eastern Ridge lode, and at the Southern Zone to the south of the Eastern Ridge and Steam Engine lodes. The two deeper RC/Diamond core tailed holes have targeted further down-dip potential and are a first step in developing an understanding of the deeper lode areas.

About Superior Resources Limited
Superior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) is an Australian public company exploring for large lead-zinc-silver, copper, gold and nickel-copper-cobalt deposits in northern Queensland which have the potential to return maximum value growth for shareholders. The Company has a dominant exploration position within the Carpentaria Zinc Province and the Greenvale Ordovician rock sequences. The Carpentaria Zinc Province one of the world's richest mineral producing regions and the Company is focused on multiple Tier-1 equivalent exploration targets. At Greenvale, the Company holds ground covering the majority of the Ordovician sequences in the region, which includes at least three significant copper-gold porphyry and VMS prospects, an advancing high-grade gold deposit and a regionally large magmatic sulphide nickel-copper-cobalt prospect.
About Greenvale Project
The Greenvale Project covers a region of volcanic and intrusive rocks of Ordovician Age that are similar in type and age to the porphyry copper belt in New South Wales. The New South Wales belt of rocks host the large Cadia and North Parkes porphyry copper mines. The sequence of rocks in the Greenvale area are likely to be the northern-most extension of the remnant New South Wales Ordovician Macquarie Arc rocks.
Superior's Greenvale Project is highly prospective for VMS and porphyry copper, gold, zinc and silver deposits and contains at least ten mineral prospects. The project is located within an area of notable economic significance, being proximal to the Kidston, Balcooma, Surveyor and Dry River South deposits.
About Steam Engine Gold Deposit
The Steam Engine Gold Deposit is an extensive mesothermal gold lode system on which an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.27 million tonnes at 2.3 g/t for 94,000 ounces of gold has been established (refer ASX announcement 4 May 2020). The Resource has been modelled on only 30 percent of at least 2.5 kilometres of strike length of outcropping lode and only modelled to relatively shallow depths.
Currently, three gold lode zones have been identified: (1) the Steam Engine Lode; (2) the Eastern Ridge Lode; and (3) the Southern Zone of lodes. The deposit has the potential to contain significant greater tonnages high-grade gold ore shoots that may extend to significant depths. The mineralisation is hosted within structures that are sheared to a greater extent than many similar lode gold deposits, which increases the potential for significant thicknesses of gold lode mineralisation.
The Eastern Ridge Lode zone, being the longest lode structure, potentially represents the primary ore conduit. Although the lode has been mapped at surface to be at least 1.4 kilometres long, gold surface soil geochemistry indicates that the structure is closer to at least 4 kilometres long. Many shorter structures exist on the hanging wall side of the Eastern Ridge lode zone, such as the Steam Engine lode and numerous other zones have mainly only been identified from historic gold soil sampling.
Large portions of the world's economic deposits of gold are found in vein systems of this kind and they can hold impressive amounts of valuable ore. The veins and shoot zones typically can extend to significant depths with gold grades typically higher than other types of gold deposits.
