The NI 43-101 technical report is entitled “Useful resource Estimate for The Zonia Undertaking 2024 Replace” (the “Technical Report“) and is dated October 24, 2024 and dated efficient August 27 , 2024. The Technical Report was ready pursuant to NI 43-101 by Sue Fowl, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain Technical Companies (“MMTS“), an unbiased certified individual as outlined by NI 43-101 (the “QP“). The Technical Report is on the market on World Copper’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and is on the market on World Copper’s web site at www.worldcopperltd.com.
Up to date Useful resource Estimate for Zonia
The Up to date Useful resource Estimate accommodates Indicated Assets of 109.9 million quick tons grading 0.299% total-copper (TCu) containing 657 million kilos of copper, and Inferred Assets of 59.2 million quick tons grading 0.254 % total-copper containing 301 million kilos of copper, which is a major growth of the Zonia useful resource estimate within the Indicated class in comparison with earlier estimates. These numbers differ barely from these within the September 9, 2024 information launch https://www.sedarplus.ca/csa-party/information/doc.html?id=36569ac7f403fafcdc1c63db82f0b1569d3b0209b2fed187f0276066b6fcce1b, as changes had been made to the calculation for depletion from historic underground workings.
The categorised assets are outlined intimately in Desk 1 on the base case cut-off grade of 0.18% and at a spread of cut-off grades in Desk 2. The Up to date Useful resource Estimate was accomplished for World Copper as a part of the Firm’s total exploration plan for Zonia (see information launch dated Might 22, 2022).

Complete Inferred | 0.18 | 59.2 | 0.254 | 301 |
Notes to the Up to date Useful resource Estimate Tables:
- The efficient date of the Up to date Useful resource Estimate is August 27, 2024.
- Assets are reported utilizing the 2014 CIM Definition Requirements and had been estimated utilizing the 2019 CIM Finest Practices Pointers, as required by NI43-101
- The bottom case Mineral Useful resource has been confined by “cheap prospects of eventual financial extraction” form utilizing the next assumptions:
- Metallic value of US$4.00/lb of Cu
- Metallurgical restoration of 75% in oxides and 70% within the transitional zone
- Offsite prices of US$0.05/lb of Cu
- Processing Prices of US$4/ton milled and Normal & Administrative (G&A) prices of CDN$ 2.00/ton milled
- Mining price of CDN$2.00/ton mined
- 48-degree pit slopes
- The 150% value case pit shell is used for the useful resource confining form
- The ensuing NSR = Cu*US$3.95/lb *0.75 for oxides and NSR = Cu*US$3.95/lb *0.70 within the transitional zone.
- It’s fairly anticipated, although not assured, that almost all of Inferred Mineral Assets may very well be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Assets with continued exploration (see “Cautionary Notice to United States Buyers”).
- Numbers might not add attributable to rounding.
- There are not any materials variations between the mineral assets reported within the September 9, 2024 information launch and the Technical Report.

Mineral assets that aren’t mineral reserves don’t have demonstrated financial viability; nevertheless, an affordable prospect of eventual financial extraction pit has been used to restrict the Up to date Useful resource Estimate utilizing parameters detailed within the desk notes. The QP for the Up to date Useful resource Estimate isn’t conscious of any environmental, allowing, authorized, title, taxation, socio-economic, advertising, political, or different related components that might materially have an effect on the Up to date Useful resource Estimate. Elements that will have an effect on the estimate embody: metallic value assumptions, modifications in interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralization zones, modifications to kriging assumptions, metallurgical restoration assumptions, working price assumptions, confidence within the modifying components, together with assumptions that floor rights to permit mining infrastructure to be constructed will likely be forthcoming, delays or different points in reaching agreements with native or regulatory authorities and stakeholders, and modifications in land tenure necessities or in allowing requirement.
Zonia Useful resource Modelling
Knowledge verification efforts for the Up to date Useful resource Estimate carried out by MMTS included discussions with World Copper personnel, private inspection of the Undertaking space with the gathering and submission of test samples to an exterior laboratory, an audit of the exploration drillhole database, and an in depth evaluation of extra info obtained from historic studies and data supplied by the Firm. MMTS additionally accomplished checks on the geologic info as in comparison with the paper logs, and checks of the assay values contained within the exploration database as in comparison with assay certificates supplied by World Copper.
