Toronto, August 1, 2013 - Superior Copper Corporation (TSXV:SPC) ("Superior Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement financing (the "Financing") as previously announced on June 27, 2013.

The Financing consisted of the sale of $270,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes ("Notes").

The Notes are due two years from the date hereof (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable monthly.

In the event that the 20-day weighted average trading price of Superior Copper’s common shares ("Shares") on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is at least $0.25 at any time prior to the Maturity Date, Superior Copper is entitled to require the holder to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes into Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit.

Each Unit will be comprised of one Share and one Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each Warrant being exercisable for one Share at an exercise price of $0.15 on or before the Maturity Date. Where the closing price of the Shares on the TSXV is at least $0.25 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders of Warrants that the Warrants will expire 30 days later.

The Financing remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV. The securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period from the date of closing. In connection with the Financing, an eligible finder was paid a cash commission of $11,760 and was issued 111,760 Warrants.
