Superior Copper Corp. Winter 2015 Exploration Update

TORONTO, May 4, 2015 - Superior Copper Corp. ("Superior Copper" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:SPC) announces diamond drill results from the 2015 Winter Drill Program on its 100% owned Superior Property (the "Property"). A total of 5 diamond drill holes were completed throughout the winter months totaling 3,385m.

SPC-15-01 was drilled to test a sub-vertical, cylindrical, resistivity high that measures approximately 1km in diameter. The anomaly was identified from the 2014 ZTEM survey and was interpreted as a potential intrusive plug. Low grade copper mineralization occurred throughout the hole. SPC-15-02 was drilled vertically from the same location. No samples were taken.

SPC-15-03 was drilled to follow up on a vertical chargeability anomaly identified from an induced polarization ("IP") survey carried out over the 3M Zone in 2014. The anomaly has a length of over 1.0km long and is spatially associated with high-grade copper mineralization. Mineralization similar to the 3M Zone was intersected in basalt flow top breccias.

SPC-15-04 was drilled to test a strong magnetic anomaly with a coincident resistive low identified from the 2014 ZTEM survey. Anomalous copper values over wide widths were encountered.

SPC-15-05 was drilled to test a semi coincident magnetic-gravity anomaly identified by Falconbridge Ltd. in 2002 as a potential Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold target. Anomalous copper values were reported throughout the hole.

"Our winter drill program was designed to further test Priority 1 drill targets that were not completed during the summer-fall drill phase" says Morgan Quinn, Project Geologist. "This is a very large land package with numerous targets. We continue to learn about alteration, mineralization and structural trends and the spring break-up will provide a hiatus to incorporate all data for further targeting in the near future."


On Site Quality Assurance / Quality Control Measures

All samples reported upon herein were selected, and sealed and readied for shipment to ALS Minerals preparation laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. Sample intervals were selected and cut in half by diamond core saw. Individual samples were labeled, placed and sealed in plastic sample bags. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags that were secured. The rice bags were then delivered via a bonded courier to the ALS sample preparation laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. All samples were then crushed and pulverized using ALS preparation procedure PREP-31. The sample pulps were sent to ALS Laboratory in Vancouver B.C. for analysis. In Vancouver, the samples underwent analysis using ALS assay procedure ME-MS61r, a 60 element four acid ICP-MS multi-element package which includes Rare Earth Elements. When samples received over-limit values they underwent further analysis using ALS assay procedure ME-OG62 (for copper). All samples were also analyzed using ALS assay procedure Au-AA23 gold. The reader is referred to: www.alsglobal.com for details of these analytical procedures.


Independent Quality Assurance and Quality Control Protocol

A comprehensive QA/QC program was implemented to monitor all assays on the Superior Project. Samples are assembled in numbered batches of 35 samples. Included in each batch of 35 samples are 2 certified reference material samples, 1 blank sample comprised of sterile sand, 1 pulp duplicate and 1 field duplicate sample. This QC program was implemented by Tracy Armstrong P.Geo, for Superior Copper. Ms. Armstrong is a qualified geologist in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Assay results were monitored on an on-going, real time basis for accuracy, contamination and precision by Ms. Armstrong.
