Superior Copper Intersects 8.27 Meters of 1.87% Copper


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 27, 2014) - Superior Copper Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:SPC) is pleased to announce the latest assay results returned from the Summer 2014 drill program at its wholly owned Superior Project located 85km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Diamond drill hole SPC-14-07 returned anomalous copper over a width of 57.12m. Visible copper sulphide mineralization occurred in fractures and narrow quartz veins hosted in intensely altered mafic volcanic and clastic sedimentary units. Also of significance was the presence of molybdenite, which most commonly forms in high temperature hydrothermal veins and has not previously been reported in this area of the project.

Diamond drill hole SPC-14-08 was targeted to test a 2.5km long low resistivity ZTEM trend 600m to the northwest of SPC-14-06 that intersected over 80m of low grade mineralization. (see the Company's Press Release dated November 10, 2014). SPC-14-08 intersected three intervals that returned over 1% copper occurring between 852.42m and 945.55m depth. The most significant intersection was 1.18% copper, 0.93gpt silver, and 0.22 gpt gold over 8.27m including 16.40% copper, 11.20 gpt silver, and 3.11 gpt gold over 0.50m. Mineralization occurred as fracture controlled chalcopyrite with minor bornite in mafic volcanics and as semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite in an intensely silicified host rock. Detailed results can be found in Table 1.

Diamond drill hole SPC-14-10 intersected four intervals that returned over 1% copper that occurred between 98.25m and 262.97m. The most significant intersection was 5.53% copper, 36.95gpt silver, and 0.02gpt gold over 1.85m. Mineralization occurred in veins and vein breccia hosted by mafic volcanics.

To date 12,557m has been drilled on regional targets including 2,609m on the 3M Zone. Recent ground IP results on the 3M Zone show a 2 km long chargeable zone coincident with its discovery. Follow-up drilling is planned for this new discovery in the New Year.

"We are continually impressed with the occurrence of copper minerals no matter what corner of this large land package we drill," says John Tait, CEO, "Currently our geologists are compiling all the drill data from the last drill program, interpreting their findings and prioritizing drill targets for the New Year. There are also several regional targets we have not drilled from our Phase One Program."
