US Copper Corp. announced results from the 15-hole shallow drill program on its Engels deposit at the Moonlight-Superior Copper Project in North-East California. Highlights.

Mineralized drill hole intercepts were submitted for sequential copper assays and acid soluble copper was identified in 10 of 15 holes, including one intercept of 200 feet ("ft") of 1.06% recoverable copper;; Results confirmed historical drilling completed by previous operators in 2005-through 2009;; Soluble copper averaged 85% of total copper; and Acid soluble copper greater than 0.2% occurs over an area of 750 ft by 250 ft to an average depth of greater than 200 ft. These results are now being reviewed by an independent engineering firm to determine: 1. parameters for further metallurgical testing; 2. A new resource calculation for the oxide mineralization at Engels; and 3. The viability of an oxide mining operation beginning at Engels before moving to Moonlight.
