Superior Copper Corporation ("Superior Copper" or "the Company") (TSX
VENTURE:SPC)  is pleased to announce that it has completed the non-brokered
private placement financing announced on April 23, 2014, and updated on May 4,
2014. A total of 25,175,000 hard-dollar units ("HD Units") were sold at $0.10
per HD Unit, and 10,375,000 flow-through shares ("FT Shares") were sold at $0.10
per FT Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,555,000 (the "Offering"). 


Each HD Unit is 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 until May 7, 2016. 


Superior Copper intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for exploration,
property acquisition, and general working capital purposes. The Company will
ensure that the proceeds received from the amount allocated to the FT Shares
sold will be used to incur expenses which qualify as Canadian Exploration
Expenses for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and will such expenses
with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2014. 


Securities issued pursuant to the Offering will have a statutory resale
restriction of four months and one day. 


In connection with the Offering, the Company finder's fees to qualified arm's
length persons, including $15,000 in cash and 215,000 warrants ("Finder's
Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share of
the Corporation at an exercise price of $0.15 until May 7, 2015. 


The participation in the Offering by certain "related parties" of the Company
constitutes a "related party transaction" as such terms are defined by
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Related party transactions include
purchases by Northfield Capital Corp. ("Northfield"), a holder of 10% or more of
the issued and outstanding Common Shares (1,000,000 HD Units and 6,000,000 FT
Shares), management of Northfield (3,250,000 HD Units), management of the
Company (1,100,000 HD Units and 125,000 FT Shares), and individuals who are
management of both Northfield and the Company (250,000 HD Units and 250,000 FT
Shares). In total, these related parties acquired an aggregate total of
5,600,000 HD Units for gross proceeds of $560,000, and 6,375,000 FT Shares for
gross proceeds of $637,500. 


Since both the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties and
the cash consideration to be paid for such securities does not exceed 25% of
Superior Copper's market capitalization, the sale of securities to such related
parties pursuant to the Offering is exempt from the valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. The participation by each
related party was approved by directors of the Company who are independent of
each such related party.
