American Copper Corporation: Squaw Peak Drilling Intersects 30 Feet Averaging 5.57 oz/ton Ag, 1.03% Cu, 0.078% Mo

Initial results from American Copper's (TSX VENTURE: AJ) Squaw Peak Project, located 70 miles (113 km) north of Phoenix, Arizona, confirm the presence of both high-grade copper-molybdenum-silver and bulk mineable copper-molybdenum targets. All holes drilled remained in copper/molybdenum mineralization their entire lengths. Drill hole SP0803 contained 30 feet (9.1 m) averaging 1.03% Cu, 0.078% Mo and 5.57 oz/ton Ag and included 5 feet (1.5 m) at 0.87% Cu, 0.089% Mo and 13.70 oz/ton Ag. Average values for entire drill holes range from 0.41% to 0.74% copper equivalent. Values for all 8 drill holes are shown in the table below.

A total of 8 vertical and angle core holes were drilled totaling 3,155.4 feet (962 m). The initial holes attempted to locate high-grade mineralization similar to that found on the upper mine dump of the property as well as begin exploring the bulk-mineable potential of the property. The holes, drilled from two sites approximately 400 feet (122 m) apart, tested to a vertical depth of 300 to 500 feet. Additional drilling will be needed to determine the extent of the mineralization.

The core was sawed in half and one-half sent to ALS Chemex in Reno, Nevada for analysis. Analysis was by ICP with checks done by XRF. Copper and silver overlimits were run by AAS.

American Copper's plan map and cross sections of its recent drilling program will be available shortly on its website http://www.americancoppercorp.com .
