Chris Bradbrook, President and CEO of Superior Gold stated: "We are targeting production of 100,000 ounces in 2019. The unforeseen challenges encountered in the fourth quarter of 2018 (now resolved and detailed in the February 5th, 2019 press release) continued into January of this year which will have an impact on production in the first quarter of 2019. This included limited availability of key underground and open pit equipment (resulting from mechanical and contractor issues) and a weather related event which resulted in power to the borefields being interrupted and limiting water supply to the mill necessitating a lower processing throughput. However, we remain focused on working towards improving the stope grade and a progressive increase in quarterly production at the Plutonic underground mine as we continue to mine towards reserve grade and maximize cash generation.

Our sustaining capital for the year is similar to last year's level which illustrates the low capital intensity of the underground operations at Plutonic as we take advantage of the extensive infrastructure that we already have in place. Finally, on the exploration front, we will continue to focus on expanding reserves and resources and extending the mine life of our assets."

The Company will be releasing complete financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 before market open on March 13, 2019.
