Superior Copper (TSX VENTURE:SPC) reports that check assays have been completed
on well-preserved half core segments of three BQ drill holes completed by
Aurogin Resources in 1997 and 1998 on the Richards Breccia Copper Prospect, Ryan
Township, Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division. The Richards Breccia is located
approximately 10 km northeast of the Coppercorp Mine on the recently acquired
Jogran Property (see news release April 10, 2013). The Richards Breccia Prospect
consists of a near vertically plunging breccia pipe with a surface diameter of
40 metres and a known depth of 75 metres. The vertical extent remains open and
the company believes there is good exploration potential below the historic
drill holes. The breccia pipe is considered to be Keweenawan in age, similar to
the Coppercorp and Tribag Mines, and intrudes Archean rocks of the Batchawana
Greenstone Belt.


The 2013 check assays resulted in slightly higher composite weighted averages
for copper and similar averages for gold and silver compared to historical
assays. The check assays also reproduced the positive linear correlation between
gold, silver and copper. The most significant results came from AR97-25 with
1.13% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, and 4.1 g/t Ag over 31.3 metres, and AR98-07 with 1.67%
Cu, 0.15 g/t Au, and 5.5 g/t Ag over 26.85 metres. Please note that these are
apparent widths.

The copper mineralization is primarily chalcopyrite contained in the matrix
between fragments and along fractures. Chalcopyrite is accompanied by pyrite,
quartz, biotite, and rock flour. Breccia fragments commonly range in size from
less than 1 cm up to 5 cm in a fine grained matrix.


The 1997 and 1998 assays were completed by Swastika and TSL Labs for Aurogin
Resources using ICAP Plasma Scan (ICP-OES) for multi-element analysis and fire
assay for gold. The 1997 half core sample locations were measured based on the
original drill logs and verified where original sample tags were present in the
core box. The half cores were carefully quartered and sampled at similar sample
spacing as the original samples. Quartered samples were then placed in plastic
sample bags with identifying AGAT Labs tags and sealed with a plastic tie. The
magnetic susceptibility, carbonate content, and percentage of sulphide minerals
were noted in the sample log. In addition, missing or lost sections of drill
core were estimated for each box. AR97-25 and AR98-07 had less than 2% missing
core sections; AR97-24 had a 22% loss of core between 47 to 64.5 metres. The
historical geological logs were reviewed and compared with the drill core and
deemed to be acceptable. Samples were placed in rice bags and shipped to AGAT
Labs by bus.


AGAT Labs completed multi-element analyses on all samples using Aqua Regia
digestion followed by ICP-OES finish. Gold was analysed using a fire assay with
ICP-OES finish. Any Au assays greater than 10 g/t was re-assayed by
FA-Gravimetric. Silver greater than 100 g/t were re-assayed by FA- Gravimetric
finish. Copper greater than 1% was re-assayed by ICP-OES.


The Richards Breccia diatreme intrudes approximately 1 km southwest of the
Jogran Porphyry, a Keweenawan age mineralized porphyry containing Cu and Mo
which is also on the Jogran Property. The regional area is characterized by
extensive fracturing and veining containing chalcopyrite, pyrite and molybdenite
along with quartz, carbonate, biotite and chlorite. A 3000 metre drill program
is currently proposed for Richards Breccia and Jogran Porphyry Prospects.
