Northern Superior Resources has been named the 2012 Prospector of the Year by the Association de l’exploration minière du Québec (Quebec Mining Exploration Association).
The Sudbury-based exploration firm was recognized for its work on the Croteau Est gold discovery in the Chapais, Chibougamau and Oujé-Bougoumou regions of Quebec.
“This award is a fantastic endorsement from our peers in Quebec, of the terrific work and progress that employees and contractors Northern Superior Resources have made on the company’s Croteau Est gold property in such a very short period of time,” said Dr. T.F. Morris, Northern Superior’s president and CEO, in a news release.
“We look forward to sharing news of the company’s progress on Croteau Est as we continue our exploration through the balance of 2012 and 2013.”
The project was recognized as a new discovery “that produced a significant ripple effect on exploration activities with regard to both the property itself and the surrounding area,” the release notes.
Since starting operations, Northern Superior’s efforts have yielded a gold-bearing alteration corridor that extends to at least 450 m depth, is at least 1,000 m in length and is 50 to 150 m in width. The alteration corridor and associated gold mineralization remain open along strike in both directions and at depth.
