Superior Copper drills 8 m of 2.2% Cu, 2.3 g/t Ag at 3M

2014-09-18 11:10 ET - News Release

Mr. John Tait reports

SUPERIOR COPPER INTERSECTS 2.22% COPPER, 2.31 GPT SILVER, AND 0.11 GPT GOLD OVER 8.06 METRES

Superior Copper Corp. has intersected additional significant copper mineralization at the 3M zone at its 100-per-cent-owned Superior project, 85 kilometres northwest of Sault Ste. Marie. Diamond drill hole SPC-3M-14-01 was a 50-metre updip extension of the discovery hole which intersected 1.26 per cent copper, 9.89 grams per tonne silver and 0.10 g/t gold over 5.5 metres (see press release dated July 9, 2014). Complete results received to date of the 3M zone drilling are provided in the attached table. Since drilling started on June 15, the company has completed 4,086 m, or 8 per cent, of its budgeted 50,000 m on its regional targets. Two drills are now dedicated to the company's regional drilling program.

True widths cannot be determined with the information currently 
available.

Eight holes in addition to the discovery hole have been completed on the 3M zone for a total of 2,609 m. Assays are pending for the remaining four holes.

"The 3M zone is a chalcocite-bearing, hydrothermally altered, flow-top breccia that is conformable to the regional bedding. The nature of the zone is very similar to the deposits currently being developed by Highland Copper and past producers in the prolific copper belt of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. This is the first discovery of this type at Superior's project and represents the first-ever conformable copper-bearing horizon in the region," stated Morgan Quinn, PGeo, project geologist. "We continue to be impressed by the copper mineralization in this newly discovered area."

Since the discovery hole, a 1.5-by-2.0-kilometre grid has been established over the area. A ground induced-polarization geophysical survey and geological mapping will be completed within the next few weeks.

"We are taking a methodical exploration approach to this new discovery," said Mr. Quinn.

Regional target update

To date, four holes have been completed on the regional targets for approximately 4,086 m.

"We are encouraged by the drilling at our regional targets," mentioned Mr. Quinn. "These are deep holes and take time to complete over such a large land package. Historically, no drilling was carried out below 225 m on this property, and every hole provides us with geological insight to what may lie below."

The technical aspects of this press release have been reviewed by D. Morgan Quinn, PGeo, who is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for this project.

Quality assurance/quality control and assay procedures can be found on the company's press release dated July 8, 2014.
