 TORONTO, June 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Superior Copper Corporation  has entered into an agreement to acquire the Glenrock Property located  in Palmer and Ryan Townships near Batchawana Bay, approximately 70  kilometres north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Superior Copper will  acquire a 100% interest in the project, subject to a 1.5% net smelter  return previously granted to a third party, by issuing 2.1 million  shares to Hudson River Minerals Ltd.  The acquisition is subject to  regulatory approval. 

 The Glenrock Property covers 18 unpatented mineral claims over 2,515  hectares.  The property is located in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt of  the Archean Superior Province near the margin of the Proterozoic  Southern Province. 

 In 1953, Glenrock Mines Ltd. trenched known gold showings and drilled 11  diamond drill holes for a total of 721 metres.  The best intersection  encountered 2.9 grams per tonne gold over 6.4 metres including a higher  grade interval of 6.24 grams per tonne gold over 2.4 metres.  In  1987-88, Duration Mines explored multiple narrow quartz veins and  drilled 15 diamond drill holes for a total of 1,766 metres.  The best  intersection encountered 3.06% copper, 43 grams per tonne silver and  1.6 grams per tonne gold over 6.53 metres.  Most of the historic  drilling was completed within 30 metres of surface. 

 In the early 1990's, Noranda Inc. completed 2 exploration trenches, 50  metres apart, across the main Glenrock trend with grades returning 3.96  grams per tonne gold over 8 metres and 4.68 grams per tonne gold over 6  metres.
