Superior Copper Acquires an Interest in the Jogran Porphyry
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Superior Copper Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SPC) has entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Jogran Porphyry located in Ryan Townships near Batchawana Bay, approximately 80 kilometres north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, subject to regulatory approval. Superior Copper will acquire Jim Ralph's 50% interest in the project by issuing 670,000 shares to the vendor, Jim Ralph.
The Jogran Porphyry Property covers 1 unpatented mineral claim with an area of 128 hectares. The property is located in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt of the Archean Superior Province near the margin of the Proterozoic Southern Province. The Jogran Porphyry is a quartz-feldspar porphyry of mid-Proterozoic (Keweenawan) age located adjacent to the Batchawana Copper Project which contains the past-producing Coppercorp Mine.
The porphyry intrusive is thought to have an elliptical shape, with a surface expression 130 metres wide and 275 metres long and was drilled to a 200 metre depth. The porphyry and surrounding Archean mafic metavolcanics contain disseminated and fracture-controlled chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization. Historical drilling by Jogran Mines Ltd. in the mid-1960's indicated continuous mineralized intersections averaging 0.19% Cu and 0.05% MoS2 over core lengths ranging from 40 to 160 metres (Source: Sault Ste. Marie Assessment Files).
