Highland Copper Company Inc. announced results for 52 additional diamond drill holes from the 543S chalcocite deposit at the Keweenaw copper project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. Some of the higher-grade intersections in holes for which all assays have been received and checked include the following: CEN397: 14.4 meters of 4.78% Cu and 1.3 g/t Ag including; 7.6 meters of 8.15% Cu and 0.8 g/t Ag including; 4.1 meters of 11.50% Cu and 0.9 g/t Ag; CEN452: 22.7 meters of 3.80% Cu and 11.8 g/t Ag including; 9.2 meters of 5.64% Cu and 25.7 g/t Ag, and 1.8 meters of 8.41% Cu and 2.7 g/t Ag. CEN340: 18.0 meters of 3.20% Cu and 15.3 g/t Ag including; 2.5 meters of 11.15% Cu and 50.8 g/t Ag; CEN410: 8.2 meters of 3.32% Cu and 2.1 g/t Ag; CEN376: 5.6 meters of 8.36% Cu and 20.7 g/t Ag. Sampling of visually-identified high grade copper intersections is on approximate 0.5 meter intervals adjusted for the geology.

Individual high grade samples tend to cluster in continuous zones within broader envelopes of lower grade material. Contacts with adjacent unmineralized wall rocks may be sharp or gradational. Considerable lengths of lower grade mineralization continue to be intersected, with several examples below: CEN377: 49.5 meters of 1.14% Cu and 2.6 g/t Ag; CEN368: 45.4 meters of 0.93% Cu and 2.3 g/t Ag including; 2.3 meters of 4.95% Cu and 8.6 g/t Ag and 1.5 meters of 2.81% Cu and 1.4 g/t Ag.

CEN323: 44.0 meters of 0.75% Cu and 1.5 g/t Ag including; 5.0 meters of 3.57% Cu and 4.0 g/t Ag; CEN418: 36.7 meters of 1.32% Cu and 5.4 g/t Ag including; 6.2 meters of 5.89% Cu and 4.8 g/t Ag.
