Lowell Copper Enters Into Option Agreement

VANCOUVER, Mar 11, 2014 - Lowell Copper Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:JDL) ("Lowell Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Rose Petroleum PLC ("Rose Petroleum") and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Rose Petroleum, AVEN Associates LLC ("AVEN"), in respect of, amongst other things, the grant of an option (the "Option") to earn up to a 70% interest in the "TC" property located in New Mexico (the "Property").


The Option

Under the terms of the Option, Lowell Copper can acquire up to a 70% in the Property in exchange for funding US$6,250,000 in expenditures on the Property. Specifically under the terms of the Option to earn a 70% interest Lowell Copper will be required to fund aggregate expenditures of US$6,250,000 over four years, to earn the corresponding percentage interests in the Property as follows:

• a 25% interest in the Property by funding US$250,000 of expenditures;
• a 51% interest in the Property by funding the next US$2,500,000 of expenditures; and
• a 70% interest in the Property by funding the next US$3,500,000 of expenditures.

Upon Lowell Copper earning a 51% interest in the Property then the parties will enter into a joint venture agreement and further funding for the Property will be based on the percentage interests in the Property of Lowell Copper and Rose Petroleum. The parties will also agree on a form of standard dilution calculation to be included in the joint venture agreement that will be applied to a party if one party does not commit to further funding or partial funding of work on the Property.

Under the terms of the Option if a party's interest is reduced to below a 10% interest in the Property than that party's interest will be converted to a 1% free carried interest in the Property.


The TC Property

The TC Property is comprised of a group of claims located along the Hillsboro - Bisbee mineral trend in New Mexico.

Rocks of post-mineral age, consisting of Tertiary volcanic rocks and recent gravels, separate two areas of previous mining activity. These post-mineral rocks cover an area about 2 miles wide by 6 miles. Gravity data, supported by the geometry of the pre and post-mineral rocks suggest that drilling could intersect pre-mineral rocks at relatively shallow depth.

Previous mining activity in pre-mineral rocks east of the target area is limited to small pits and cuts opened to test alteration and mineralization confined to narrow, discontinuous fractures. Mining activity on the west side of the covered target area has been more extensive.

David Lowell, Chairman and CEO of Lowell Copper remarked, "The size of the covered area is such that one to two drill holes could very quickly reveal whether there is the potential for buried mineralization."
