Superior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) (Superior, the Company) announced today a further boost for its emerging Steam Engine Gold Project following the latest batch of assay results. The drilling program is part of Forthe Company's 13,000m drilling campaign underway at its 100%-owned Greenvale Project, located
approximately 210kms west of Townsville, Queensland (Figures 1 and 2).
The latest results from 15 RC holes drilled into the Steam Engine Lode confirm the down-dip strengthening of the lode, a development that has been observed over substantial portions of the Steam Engine Lode.
Importantly, the intersections are located predominantly outside the current Mineral Resource of 1.73 million tonnes grading 2.2 g/t Au for 122,000 ounces of gold1, which was based on the 2020 drilling program.

upgraded by 31%", dated 22 March 2021.
Cross sections of selected drill holes are included in Figures 4 to 7. Drill hole collar locations are shown in Figure 3 and details are set out in Appendix 1.
