 (In US Dollars unless otherwise stated)

TORONTO, July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Superior Gold Inc. ("Superior Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV: SGI) is pleased to announce record production results for the second quarter of 2018 from the Company's 100%-owned Plutonic Gold operations, located 800 kilometres northeast of Perth, in Western Australia.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Gold Produced was 25,608 ounces
• Gold Sold was 25,797 ounces
• Quarterly production surpassed the Company's previous record of 22,994 ounces set in the fourth quarter of 2016
• The Company has now achieved an annualized production rate of > 100,000 ounces

Chris Bradbrook, President and CEO of Superior Gold stated: "Second quarter production at the Plutonic Gold operations was at its highest level since we acquired the asset in October 2016. As expected, production was also significantly higher than in the first quarter of this year as underground mining activities returned to higher grade zones and ramp up of production continued at Hermes.

We expect production to continue to increase in the second half of 2018 and reiterate our annual production guidance of between 100,000 ounces and 110,000 ounces for the full year."

The Company plans to release throughput, grade and recovery information for the second quarter later in July and will release complete financial and operating results on August 21, 2018 before market open.
