Northern Superior Resources Reports Results From Gold-Bearing Shear Zones (Including 12.76 g/t Gold Over 8.75 m and 12.74 g/t Gold Over 5.85 m) From 2011 Drill Program, Croteau Est Property, QC

Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") is pleased to announce gold assay results from its eight hole, early exploration diamond drill program, on the Company's Croteau Est gold property, west-central Quebec. Although hole CR011-05 returned the most exciting assay results (12.74 g/t gold over 5.85 m: 170.15 - 176 m; 12.76 g/t gold over 8.75 m: 181.75 - 190.5 m; and 3.05 g/t gold over 3.0 m: 240.7 - 243.7 m) holes CR011-01, 06 and 08 also returned significant intersections (Table 1).

Holes CRO11-06 to 08 were drilled 50m to the west of Trench-01 to follow-up on the reported visible gold in hole CRO11-05 (hole CRO11-07 was abandoned at 27 metres, for distribution of drill holes see Figure 1, press release December 19, 2011). Note, diamond drilling in the fall of 2011 did not test Trench-03 where visible gold and associated assay of 92.57 g/t gold over 1.0m or 12.8 g/t gold over 7.8 m were previously reported.

One final note regarding the visible gold in hole CR011-05, where regular 30g aliquot Gravimetric Fire Assay results returned values up to 200 g/t gold (over 0.5 m) from the mineralized zone where visible gold was identified. Regarding assays using total gold Metallic Screen analysis on 500g aliquots over these intervals returned values up to 100g/t gold however the calculated weighted averages over the same mineralized zones did not show significant differences.

    of last year.

    million during the third quarter representing a 13.7% improvement over

During the third quarter, sales at Asia Packaging increased to over $11 million representing an 8.7% increase compared with the corresponding period of last year.

Clifton Star Resources Inc. ("CFO" or "Clifton") (TSX VENTURE:CFO)(FRANKFURT:C3T) is pleased to announce results from its 2011 drill program at the Duparquet Project, located along the prolific Destor-Porcupine Fault in the Abitibi region of Quebec. Drilling focused on the Beattie, Donchester and Central Duparquet properties.

From June to December 2011, Clifton drilled 85 holes for 26,754 meters. Most were deepening of previous 2010 holes to reach the North zone at depth.

Some Highlights:

North Zone:

Hole BD 10-277 with 58.3 meters grading 2.06 g/t Au

RW/RS Zone:

Hole BD11-335 with 16.0 metres grading 9.02 g/t Au, near surface, drilled to test stacked horizontal structures.

South Zone:

BD11-334M with 41.0 metres at 2.08 g/t Au

The 2011 exploration program on the Beattie Property continued the drilling on 100m spaced lines, while extending the depth extension of the mineralized zones from the initial 400m below surface to 500m metres below surface. Much of this was accomplished by extending previous drill holes, as well as collaring several new holes from surface.

All 2011 drill hole program data will be incorporated into a comprehensive NI 43-101 resource report on the Duparquet Project, which includes the Beattie, Donchester, Dumico and Central Duparquet properties, as well as the Beattie tailings, that is presently being prepared by InnovExplo, a mining consulting firm located in Val-d'Or. The Company expects to have the report conclusions available for release in April of 2012.
