The Company announces that it intends to complete a best efforts non-brokered private placement financing (the "Financing") of up to $300,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes ("Notes").

The Notes are due two years from the date of closing of the Financing (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable monthly. The holder is entitled to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes into units of Superior Copper ("Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit. In the event that the 20-day weighted average trading price of Superior Copper's common shares ("Shares") on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is at least $0.25 at any time prior to the Maturity Date, Superior Copper is entitled to require the holder to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes into units of Superior Copper ("Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit.

Each Unit will be comprised of one Share and one Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each Warrant being exercisable for one Share at an exercise price of $0.15 on or before the Maturity Date. Where the closing price of the Shares on the TSXV is at least $0.25 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders of Warrants that the Warrants will expire 30 days later.

The proceeds of the Financing will be used for general working capital purposes. The securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period. The Financing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSXV and customary closing conditions.

The Company also announces that it has served a Notice to Arbitrate to First Exploration Minerals Limited ("FMEL") to quantify its ownership position in the Coppercorp joint venture. As previously reported in the financial statements of the Company, FMEL has not made the requested contributions to the joint venture project and in the view of the Company, is indebted to Superior Copper for an amount in excess of $550,000. Under the terms of the joint venture, Superior Copper has the right to dilute FMEL's interest to a 2% net profits royalty after a certain value of expenditures are made on the joint venture grounds.
