STRONG GOLD PRODUCTION CONTINUES

(In US Dollars unless otherwise stated)

TORONTO, July 27, 2017 /CNW/ - Superior Gold Inc. ("Superior Gold" or "The Company") (TSX.V:SGI) is pleased to announce production results for the second quarter of 2017 from the Company's 100%-owned Plutonic Gold Mine, located 800 kilometres north east of Perth, in Western Australia .

QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Gold Produced was 17,556 ounces
  
  
• Gold Sold was 19,353 ounces
  
  
• Released underground infill and exploration drilling results of up to 61 g Au/t over 3.30 metres, 64.0 g Au/t over 2.20 metres, and 1525 g Au/t over 0.30 metres
  
  
• Received approval to commence development of the Hermes open pit project

Production details for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, are summarized in the table below.

The lower production in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2017 was due to the mine operating in a lower grade area, with expected slightly lower recovery levels. This reflects natural variations in the mine and is to be expected periodically.

Chris Bradbrook, President and CEO of Superior Gold stated: "We are pleased to announce another strong quarter of production. We have now operated the Plutonic Gold Mine for three quarters and produced a total of 61,319 ounces of gold and sold a total of 61,506 ounces of gold. Subsequent to the quarter end, we commenced development at our Hermes project, from which we anticipate production commencing by 2018. The contribution of the ore from Hermes is expected to allow us to reach our targeted annual production level of 100,000 ounces of gold." For further information please see July 11, 2017 Press Release entitled "Superior Gold Inc. Announces Commencement of Hermes Development" available on the Company's website at www.superior-gold.com.

The Company will be releasing complete financial and operating results for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 before market open on Tuesday August 15, 2017.

Outlook and Strategy

In the near term, the Company is focused on re-establishing the Plutonic Gold Operations as a stable gold producer capable of producing 100,000 ounces of gold annually. To achieve this goal, Superior Gold intends to focus on its growth strategy which includes:

• Focusing on quality high-grade ounces
• Optimizing recoveries
• Increasing incremental production from underground and open pit sources
• Resource and reserve additions through property wide exploration
• Leveraging the excess mill capacity

With the proceeds raised on the completion of the initial public offering, and the cash being generated by the Plutonic Gold Mine, the Company has the liquidity available to execute on its near-term growth and exploration strategy.
