Superior Copper Continues to Grow and Gain Support
The recent acquisition of the 100% owned Jogran Porphyry and Richards Breccia increased the land position at the Coppercorp Project to 120 square kilometres of contiguous mining claims (see news Superior Copper Acquires Additional Property in Batchawana Camp dated April 10, 2013). The added claims bring Superior Copper's 100% owned portion of the project up to 60 square kilometres.
Just prior to the acquisition, Superior Copper announced better than expected drill results from the SB Zone, which is the south-east extension of the past-producing Coppercorp Mine structure (see news Superior Copper Intersects 4.87% Copper and 61.3 gpt Silver over 3.6 metres on the SB-Zone dated April 4, 2013).
