Marketwired
SUPREME RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE: SPR) (OTCBB: SPRWF) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the first three
drill holes at the Verde project that contain fine-grained sulphide
mineralization. The drilling is designed to test the
copper-silver-gold mineralization exposed in trench 1 at the Verde
project. To date, 260 metres of a 500 metre program have been
completed.
The Verde project is located 14 kilometres south of Princeton,
British Columbia and adjacent to the east of the holdings of Copper
Mountain Mining Corporation's Copper Mountain mine. The current
2010 measured and indicated resources at the Copper Mountain mine
are 518.6 million tons of 0.31% Cu containing 3.2 billion pounds of
copper with gold-silver credits. The Copper Mountain mine is 75
percent owned by Copper Mountain Mining Corporation and 25 per cent
owned by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. The construction of the
Copper Mountain mine is on schedule for full production in June of
2011.
The Verde trench 1 sampling returned over a 14.5 metre interval
grades averaging 0.34% copper, 4.54 grams/tonne silver and 0.032
gram/tonne gold, including 9 metres averaging 0.49% copper, 6.86
grams/tonne silver and 0.046 grams/tonne gold as previously
disclosed in the Company's press release dated April 7, 2010.
Malachite, limonite, chalcopyrite and magnetite occur along
fractures and as disseminations within moderately fractured diorite
of the Voigt stock.

Drill hole V10-01 has been logged and sampled, and the samples
submitted to Eco Tech Laboratory Limited of Kamloops, BC for
analysis. Logging and sampling of drill holes V10-02 and V10-03 is
in progress.

Upon completion of the Verde drilling program, crews and
drillers will be mobilized to the Company's TAS North Project,
which is located less than 1 km in distance and borders Copper
Mountain Mining Corporation's Oriole Area.
In 2008, Copper Mountain Mining Corp. reported that from the
Oriole Area, drill hole CM08OL-17 intersected 119 feet (36.3 m)
grading 2.10% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, and 22.7 g/t Ag (2.31% Cu
Equiv.).
August 5, 2010 Copper Mountain Mining Corp. announced a two
phased 10,000 meter drill program to provide more drill information
for detailed mine design and to upgrade the mine optimization in
the Oriole Area and Pit 2 Area (see news at

Diamond drilling should begin on the TAS North Project in
approximately two weeks.
