Superior Copper Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SPC) has entered into an agreement to acquire
the remaining portion of the Jogran Porphyry and Richards Breccia properties as
well as 100% of 19 claims totaling 20 square kilometres that are contiguous to
Superior Copper's current position in the Batchawana Camp. Subject to regulatory
approval, Superior Copper will issue 4,000,000 common shares to RSS Syndicate in
consideration for the aforementioned properties and RRS Syndicate will cancel
their right, title and interest in the 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty held on Superior
Copper's Glenrock Property.


Jogran Porphyry

The Jogran Porphyry covers 1 unpatented mineral claim with an area of 1.28
square kilometres. Mineralization occurs in a quartz-feldspar porphyry of
mid-Proterozoic (Keweenawan) age, located in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt of
the Archean Superior Province near the margin of the Proterozoic Southern
Province.


The porphyry intrusive has a surface expression of 130 metres by 275 metres and
was drilled to a depth of 200 metres. Historical drilling by Jogran Mines Ltd.
in the mid-1960's indicated continuous mineralized intersections averaging 0.19%
Cu and 0.05% MoS2 over core lengths ranging from 40 to 160 metres (Source: Sault
Ste. Marie Assessment Files).


Richards Breccia

The Richards Breccia covers 2 unpatented mineral claims over 1.28 square
kilometres. Mineralization occurs in a near vertical diatreme breccia of
mid-Proterozoic (Keweenawan) age which intrudes the Batchawana Greenstone Belt
of the Archean Superior Province near the margin of the Proterozoic Southern
Province.


In 1997 and 1998, Aurogin Resources drilled three shallow holes into the
Richards Breccia which encountered significant copper mineralization (AR97-24:
0.67% Cu over 13.7 metres; AR97-25: 0.86% Cu over 40.5 metres; AR98-07: 1.46% Cu
over 26.8 metres). The breccia was intersected to depths of 40 to 80 metres and
is circular in shape, with an exposed surface expression of approximately 50
metres in diameter. 


Glenrock Royalty

The Glenrock Property covers 18 unpatented mineral claims over 25 square
kilometres located in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt of the Archean Superior
Province near the margin of the Proterozoic Southern Province. RRS Syndicate has
agreed to cancel their right, title and interest in the 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty
on Superior Copper's 100% owned Glenrock Property.


Historic work by Glenrock Mines Ltd. (1953) on the east-west trending Glenrock
Prospect encountered 0.21 oz/ton Au, 0.01% Co, 0.17% Cu over 4 feet in drill
hole GR-6, and 0.44 oz/ton Au, 0.4% Co, 0.9% Cu over 3.5 feet in trench T-10.
The Palmer Breccia was drilled by United Reef Resources (1964) and averaged
0.05% Cu over 150 m vertical depth (DDH UR-2). Duration Mines (1987-88)
encountered 3.06% copper, 43 g/t silver and 1.6 g/t gold over 2.2 metres (true
width) on the STP Prospect (DDH 475-88-3).


In the early 1990's, Noranda Inc. completed an exploration trench north of the
Glenrock Prospect and encountered 6.33 g/t Au over a 4 metre true width. Aurogin
Resources (1996-1998) drilled several holes in the same area which returned 5.6
g/t Au, 0.07% Cu over 1.5 m (AR97-01) and 1.27 g/t Au over 13 m length
(AR97-08).
