Superior Copper Announces $3,250,000 Best Efforts Non-Brokered Private Placement

Superior Copper Corporation ("Superior Copper" or "the Company") (TSX
VENTURE:SPC) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a best efforts
non-brokered private placement financing of hard dollar units ("HD Units") at a
price of $0.10 per HD Unit, and flow-through common shares ("FT Shares") at a
price of $0.10 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of up to $3,250,000 (the
"Offering"). 


Each HD Unit will be comprised of one common share ("Common Share") and one-half
common share purchase warrant ("HD Warrant"), with each HD Warrant being
exercisable for one common share of the Corporation at an exercise price of
$0.15 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. 


The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory
four month and one day hold period. 


The proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration and general working
capital purposes. The proceeds received from the amount allocated to the FT
Shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined by the
Income Tax Act (Canada), and will be renounced with an effective date of no
later than December 31, 2014. 


It is anticipated that insiders of the Company and their joint actors may
subscribe for up to 45% of the securities pursuant to the Offering. The
participation of each insider will be subject to the approval of directors of
the Company who are independent of that insider. Any such participation would be
considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Since both the fair market value of the
securities to be issued to insiders and the cash consideration to be paid for
such securities will not exceed 25% of Superior Copper's market capitalization,
the Company anticipates that the sale of securities to insiders pursuant to the
Offering will be exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements of MI 61-101. 


The Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and
applicable securities regulatory authorities. The Company anticipates closing as
soon as practicable subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
