HI Highland Copper Company Inc

Highland Copper Company Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has completed the interim closing of the previously
announced acquisition, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Upper Peninsula
Copper Holdings Inc., of all the rights, title and interest of Copper Range
Company ("CRC"), a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd., in the White Pine
copper project located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. ("White Pine")
(see news release of March 5, 2014). 


At the interim closing, Highland has issued to CRC 3,000,000 of its common
shares. Highland further agreed that, upon completion of a feasibility study and
receipt of all necessary permits for the development of a mine at White Pine, it
will pay as additional consideration, in cash or in common shares of Highland,
at the option of CRC, an amount equal to US$0.005 (one half of one cent) per
pound for the first 1 billion pounds of proven and probable reserves of copper
and US$0.0025 (one quarter of one cent) for each additional pound of proven and
probable reserves of copper.


The final closing of the acquisition will be completed once Highland has (i)
compensated CRC for a US$2.85 million financial assurance bond associated with
the remediation and closure plan of White Pine in a manner that is acceptable to
all parties involved, including the applicable governmental authorities; and
(ii) released CRC from its environmental obligations with the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality. At that time, Highland will assume all of
CRC's environmental liabilities related to White Pine and will also be
responsible for all on-going environmental obligations. Final closing is
anticipated to occur by December 31, 2015. 


Until final closing, Highland has access to White Pine under an access agreement
to perform exploration, engineering and environmental studies and other
activities associated with the development of a new copper mine at White Pine,
and CRC continues to be responsible for environmental obligations and for
remediation work up to a maximum of US$2 million.


WARRANTS EXTENSION AND FINANCING

Highland is also pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has consented
to the extension of the expiry date of 41,250,000 share purchase warrants
originally issued for a two-year term in May 2012 (the "Warrants") as part of a
non-brokered private placement of the Company's securities. The new expiry date
of all Warrants is March 31, 2015. The exercise price of $0.75 will remain
unchanged. 


In addition, the Company reports that it has completed a second tranche of its
previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 110,000,000 of its
common shares at $0.50 per common share (see news releases of February 18, 2014
and March 14, 2014), issuing 800,000 common shares for proceeds of $400,000 to
be used for general corporate purposes. The investor under this tranche of the
private placement has waived the conditions related to the closing of the
acquisition of the Copperwood and White Pine projects. As previously announced,
the Company expects to close the acquisition of the Copperwood project and the
previously announced non-brokered private placement of its common shares by May
30, 2014.
