SPC SPC Nickel Corp

Superior Copper Corporation ("Superior Copper" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:SPC) is pleased to announce that it has discovered a new zone of
copper-silver-gold mineralization on its 100%-owned Superior Project. Diamond
drill hole SPC-14-01 intersected this new mineralized zone at 315 metres ("m"),
which is deeper than any previous work done anywhere on the property. No
previous drilling has occurred within 1.7 kilometres ("km") of this drill hole
(see Figure 1).

SPC-14-01 was drilled vertically at UTM 16T 5212800mN, 671750mE to a total depth
of 951.7 m. Mineralization occurs as disseminated to semi-massive chalcocite in
a fault bounded hydrothermally altered Keweenawan basalt unit. Additional
drilling is needed to determine the attitude of the copper-bearing zone. 


With this discovery, the Company's management has decided to retain a second
drill rig to continue to develop this new mineralized zone. The original diamond
drill rig will continue on iron-oxide-copper-gold ("IOCG") targets identified by
Superior's geologists and geophysical surveys as previously announced in the
Company's news release on June 3, 2014. 


On Site Quality Assurance / Quality Control Measures 

The aforementioned assay and sample information, as well as geological
descriptions are taken from the drill log as prepared by Miron Berezowsky,
P.Eng. Mr. Berezowsky has over 40 years of field experience in a host of
geological settings around the world and is a Senior Geological Consultant for
Superior Copper. 


All samples reported upon herein were selected, and sealed and readied for
shipment to ALS Minerals preparation laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. Sample
intervals were selected and cut in half by diamond core saw. Individual samples
were labeled, placed and sealed in plastic sample bags. Groups of samples were
then placed into durable rice bags that were secured. The rice bags were then
delivered via a bonded courier to the ALS sample preparation laboratory in
Sudbury, Ontario. All samples were then crushed and pulverized using ALS
preparation procedure PREP-31. The sample pulps were sent to ALS Laboratory in
Vancouver B.C. for analysis. In Vancouver, the samples underwent analysis using
ALS assay procedure ME-MS61r, a 60 element four acid ICP-MS multi-element
package which includes Rare Earth Elements. When samples received over-limit
values they underwent further analysis using ALS assay procedure ME-OG62 (for
copper). All samples were also analyzed using ALS assay procedure Au-AA23 gold.
The reader is referred to: www.alsglobal.com for details of these analytical
procedures. 


Independent Quality Assurance and Quality Control Protocol

A comprehensive QA/QC program has been implemented to monitor all assays on the
Superior Project. Samples are assembled in numbered batches of 35 samples.
Included in each batch of 35 samples are 2 certified reference material samples,
1 blank sample comprised of sterile sand, and 2 field duplicate samples. This QC
program was implemented by Tracy Armstrong P.Geo, for Superior Copper. Ms.
Armstrong is a qualified geologist in the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and
British Columbia. Assay results will be monitored on an on-going, real time
basis for accuracy, contamination and precision by Ms. Armstrong.
