US Copper Corp Announces Commencement of Drilling Program
US COPPER CORP ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING PROGRAM
TORONTO, CANADA, June 1, 2021 – US Copper Corp (“US Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX
Venture: USCU) (OTCQB: USCUF) (Frankfurt: C730) is pleased to r eport that its previously
announced 7,000 - 10,000 foot core drilling program has recentl y begun at its Superior deposit,
one of 3 deposits at the 100% owned Moonlight-Superior Copper P roject in Plumas County,
California.
The drill program, will take approximately 2-3 months to complete and is designed to accomplish
three main objectives:
1. Verify historic copper assays from the 1960's drilling by Placer Amex;
2. Test the deposit for silver and gold credits (these precious metals were not properly assayed
by Placer in the 1960's); and
3. Upgrade portions of the resource from inferred to indicated status.
Stephen Dunn, President and CEO, commented: “We intend to move our Moonlight-Superior
project towards the production-stage as quickly as possible, and the current drilling program is the
first step. A recovery in copper prices and the global transit ion to sustainable energy through
electrification with non-fossil fuel alternatives have created an ideal environment for new copper
development in the United States.”
