Exploration work confirms Steam Engine's large-scale potential: 5,000m extension to drill program commencing immediately
HIGHLIGHTS:
- First hole at Steam Engine Lode confirms lode thickening significantly down-dip with impressive assay results:
- o 10m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 58m (SRC105)
- incl 1m @ 19.7 g/t Au from 58m
- incl 4m @ 5.9 g/t Au from 58m
- o 10m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 58m (SRC105)
Above intersection located within a broader zone of:
- o 19m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 58m
- Significantly increased thicknesses of mineralised zones visually observed in several other holes provide early indication of potentially larger than expected high grade ore shoot system. In response, Steam Engine Lode program extended by a further 5,000m to target down-dip extensions of high grade mineralisation
- Results from maiden drilling program of 13 holes at Dinner Creek return best intersection of:
- o 2m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 33m (SRC109)
- Dinner Creek drilling confirms the presence of a large mineralisation system likely related to the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes. Extensive zones of gold mineralisation were not intersected in the first line of 100m-spaced holes. Mineralisation appears to be controlled by favourable host rock lithology – potential targeting tool to identify more extensive mineralisation down-dip
- Recent geological mapping together with historic soil sampling indicate the likely presence of previously unknown gold lodes under thin cover to the west and south of the Steam Engine Lode
- Detailed ground magnetometer survey to commence over Steam Engine Project area, including anomalous areas to the west to identify lode structures near surface and at depth
- 70 RC holes have been drilled for a total of 5,114m from initial 8,000m Greenvale drilling campaign all initially-planned Steam Engine Project holes completed.
Superior's Managing Director, Peter Hwang commented:
"The 2021 exploration season has started off strongly. With an 8,000 metre drilling campaign and other exploration well underway, the data that has been generated has highlighted the potential for a largescale deposit at Steam Engine.
"Drilling at Dinner Creek has shed further light on understanding the controls on gold mineralisation at Steam Engine and has also enabled an appreciation of the scale of the mineralising system. Steam Engine certainly appears to be a significant orogenic gold system and in terms of mineralisation style and controls, we are drawing analogies to the large 14 million ounce Callie deposit in the Northern Territory.
"Importantly and not unexpectedly, we are seeing a substantial down-dip thickening of the Steam Engine Lode as evidenced visually by thick sulphide-rich alteration zones observed in several holes. Assays have been received from one of the Steam Engine holes, which has returned up to 19 metres of an ore-grade

zone in SRC105. Other holes, for which assays remain outstanding, show even thicker zones of continuous sulphide mineralisation up to 23 metres thick.
"These very thick zones of mineralisation are likely to substantially expand the total project ounces and are therefore a priority focus for the program. As a result, we will be extending the program by an additional 5,000 metres of drilling, targeting down-dip extensions to the ore shoot zone.
"At the Dinner Creek Lode, although we didn't immediately identify extensively mineralised zones, the results confirm that the system is very large and the mineralising fluids carry gold. Considering the size of the Dinner Creek system, we are expecting significant gold lode development in areas where the lode intersects favourable host-rock lithology. So, the potential across the project is significant.
"We have also identified several zones of highly anomalous gold-in-soil assays within thin cover to the west and south of the Steam Engine Lode. Lode mineralisation in these areas is likely to be within favourable host rock units. We will soon commence a detailed ground magnetometer survey over the entire project area in order to identify the previously unknown lode structures.
"In the meantime, we look forward to providing regular updates as the flow of assays start ramping up."
Superior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) (Superior, the Company) announced today the first batch of assay results from the Company's initial 8,000 metre drilling campaign at its 100% owned Greenvale Project, located approximately 210 km west of Townsville, Queensland (Figures 1 and 2). The Company also reported on further developments at the Steam Engine Project by identifying new potential for additional gold lodes to the west and south of the Steam Engine Lode.

8,000m Drilling Campaign
The 2021 initial drilling campaign commenced on 17 June 2021. To date, 70 RC holes have been drilled for a total of 5,114 metres of the initial 8,000 metre program, which represents completion of the Steam Engine Project program, as originally planned under the 8,000 metre campaign. A break-down of the Steam Engine Project drilling is set out in Table 1.
| Lode | No. of Holes | Metres |
|---|---|---|
| Steam Engine | 38 | 3,297 |
| Eastern Ridge | 19 | 901 |
| Dinner Creek | 13 | 916 |
| Total | 70 | 5,114 |

As a result of highly positive indicators at the Steam Engine Lode as returned in assays and as visually observed in drill holes, an additional 5,000 metre program will commence immediately to further expand the high grade ore shoot at the Steam Engine Lode.
The assay results reported below are the first batch of results that have been received from the assay laboratories and relate to the following holes:
- Steam Engine Lode 1 hole (SRC105); and
- Dinner Creek Lode 13 holes (SRC106 to SRC118).

Steam Engine Lode Drilling Program
The current program at the Steam Engine Lode comprises 38 RC drill holes for a total of 3,297 metres (Figure 3) and is being undertaken with the following objectives:
- Very high grade ore shoot extension and infill drilling;
- Down-dip Resource expansion drilling of the Steam Engine Lode; and
- Infill drilling to establish a maiden Ore Reserve and for Feasibility Study purposes.

Steam Engine Lode Assay Results
Assay results have been received from one hole (SRC105) drilled into the Steam Engine Lode (Table 2). Drill hole SRC105 returned an intersection of 10m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 58 metres downhole, which included a one metre intersection of 19.7 g/t Au using the existing intersection cut-off of 0.7 g/t Au (Table 2).

Table 2. Significant drill hole intersections (intersectional cut-off grades: 0.7 g/t Au and 0.35% g/t Au).
For Feasibility Study purposes, which will also consider an owner-operated processing plant option, the Company is also assessing the project on the basis of a reduced intersectional cut-off of 0.35 g/t Au. Applying this lower cut-off grade and allowing for some internal waste, results in an intersection of 19 metres @ 1.7 g/t Au from 58 metres downhole (Table 2).
The lode intersection in hole SRC105 at approximately 50 metres vertical depth, is currently the deepest intersection on line 10250N (Figure 4). Significantly, the assay results confirm a substantial increase in lode thickness at this point. In addition, visual observations of current program drill hole samples indicate a substantial thickening of the lode zone in adjacent lines and at similar depths.

5,000m Extension to Steam Engine Lode Program
As a result of the highly positive drill results and field observations, the Company has prioritised a 5,000 metre extension to the currently planned Steam Engine Lode drilling program. The extended program is on schedule to commence immediately with a larger and more capable drill rig. This rig is mobilising to site and will replace the current drill rig.
The extended program will total 5,040m and will be undertaken in two stages (Figure 5):
- STAGE 1 14 RC holes (totalling 2,555m); and
- STAGE 2 13 RC holes (totalling 2,485m).

Figure 5. Plan showing the extended 5,000m Steam Engine Program proposed drill holes (in Green). Drill holes marked in Blue and Yellow comprise part of the original 2021 8,000m Greenvale Drilling Campaign. Other holes (in Black) represent 2020 drill holes and historic holes.

Dinner Creek Maiden Drilling Program
The initial Dinner Creek drilling program comprised a single line of 13 shallow RC drill holes for 916 metres along the strike length of the main Dinner Creek Lode zone. The holes are spaced between 100m to 250m apart (Figure 6). All holes were completed by 28 June 2021.
The program was designed as a first pass of drilling on a mapped zone of pyritic schists within a sericitic alteration envelope. The Dinner Creek mineralisation and alteration displays remarkable similarity to the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lode zones but with many zones appearing to be of greater width at surface.
The drilling in all instances intersected the pyritic schist target which varied in thickness from approximately 2m to 26 metres in true thickness. The lode dips approximately 45 degrees to the west-northwest.
A total of 944 samples were assayed including duplicates and standards.

Figure 6. Plan showing mapped geology of the Dinner Creek Lode and locations of first-pass RC drill holes.

Dinner Creek Assay Results
Drill hole SRC109 returned the best result from the Dinner Creek drilling program of 2m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 33 metres downhole (Table 3; Figures 7 and 8).
Assay results and lithological observations from the remaining 12 holes while low in grade, indicate that the mineralising system is substantial in size and carries gold. The pyritic schists while appearing similar to those at Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge, have only low levels of arsenopyrite. However, they do have anomalous levels of copper, similar to the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge mineralisation.
Importantly, further observations may indicate a potential geochemical control on the mineralisation of gold. Observations across the Steam Engine Project area as well as nearby prospect areas such as Bottletree, indicate that where the lode structures have intersected favourable host rocks, ore-grade gold mineralisation appears to have formed.
In addition, the Dinner Creek Lode structure is likely to be a part of the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge mineralising and structural system that connects to the western lodes at depth. This represents potential for significant gold mineralisation within the Dinner Creek structure at depth and greater potential for a large-scale gold deposit to be developed within the Steam Engine gold lode system.

Gold Mineralisation Under Cover – Potential New Lodes
Recent detailed field mapping and consideration of historic soil sample geochemical data has identified anomalous of gold-in-soil concentrations located within extensive areas of shallow Tertiary cover (Figure 9). The anomalous zones are display a general arrangement that is consistent with the regional trend of the goldmineralised structures.
The anomalous geochemical zones represent significant potential for the existence of previously unknown gold lodes. Significantly, the anomalous zones are located to the west and south of the Steam Engine lode, which may represent a more favourable part of the Steam Engine mineralising system for the development of gold-bearing lode structures.
A detailed ground magnetometer survey has been planned for the purpose of identifying the lode structures under recent cover sequences. The survey is currently on schedule to commence in late August 2021.

| intermediate to basic intrusives and metasediments. Significant chlorite–epidote andsericite type alteration zones exist in the shear zones, with the mineralisationappearing to be mostly linked with heavily sericite altered sections of the host rock. | |||
| •The gold mineralisation phase itself consists of a mainly pyrite sulphide assemblage +/-minor arsenopryrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite (all fine grained). | |||
| •Several gold bearing lodes occur in the area, of which the Steam Engine Lode zone isthe most notable. The Eastern Ridge Lode zone is located some 500m east of theSteam Engine Lode zone. The Southern Lode zone is located approximately 600mSouthwest of the current Eastern Ridge mineral resource area and lies geologically inbetween the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes. The Dinner Creek shear zone islocated some 2 kilometres south-east of the Steam Engine Lode zoneand has verysimilar looking mineralisation and alteration to Steam Engine. | |||
| •The lodes are typically interpreted as being of the mesothermal lode type. Recentstudies undertaken by Superior Resources suggest the Steam Engine mesothermal goldmineralisation is most similar to orogenic style mineralisation. | |||
| •The important features of the lodes are their continuity and a persistent dip to thewest. | |||
