US Copper Provides Update ON Superior Drill Program
US COPPER PROVIDES UPDATE ON SUPERIOR DRILL PROGRAM
TORONTO, CANADA, Sept 14, 2021 – US Copper Corp (“ US Copper” or the “ Company”)
(TSX Venture: USCU) (OTCQB: USCU F) (Frankfurt: C73) is providin g an update on the Dixie
fire and its impact on the Company’s activities at its Moonlight-Superior Copper Project in north-
east California.
The evacuation orders for the Dixie Fire are slowly being lifted, but access to our Moonlight-
Superior property is still restricted.
The Dixie fire has now burned over 950,000 acres across 6 count ies and is the 2 nd largest
forest fire in California history.
This fire burned across our entire property, but the drill rig, which remained on site, was not
damaged. However, due to prior commitments, the drill contractor will be moving the rig to
their next project. With only a couple of months remaining in the drill season it is unlikely
that our current drill contractor will return this season. Alternatives are being considered.
Our core shed in Crescent Mills was untouched by the fire altho ugh power was interrupted.
Power is expected to be restored this week permitting us to fully resume activity.
Seven holes (5,872 ft) had been completed on our Superior depos it up until the evacuation
order of July 20, 2021. Five holes have been logged and split core sent to the lab for assay.
Core from holes 6 & 7 still need to be logged, cut and sent to the lab in Reno. We expect all
assays to be completed and received by late October 2021.
We initially planned 10-12 holes at Superior to be able to recl assify the Superior resource
(60 million tonnes @ 0.41% copper as per our Technical report o n Superior dated Nov 7,
2014 available on Sedar) from inferred to indicated. The 7 holes completed will allow us to
only partially achieve this objective, but we will be able to quantify the gold and silver credits
in the deposit that were largely ignored in assays by prior owners.
US Copper CEO Stephen Dunn commented: “We at US Copper have clo sely watched the
incredible destruction caused by the Dixie Fire and wish to say to all those affected that we are
very sorry for the loss and pain that many of you have endured. Our thoughts are especially with
those who have lost homes and livelihoods in Greenville and sur rounding areas. Also, we would
like to pay homage to the dedication and outright heroism of first responders and firefighters who
have kept up the fight for weeks on end.
