This information launch constitutes a “designated information launch” for the needs of the Firm’s prospectus complement dated July 17, 2024 to its quick kind base shelf prospectus and amended and restated quick kind base shelf prospectus dated June 7, 2024
World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE: 7LY0) (“World Copper” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce that additional to its information launch dated September 9, 2024, World Copper has filed on SEDAR+ a Nationwide Instrument 43-101 Requirements of Disclosure for Mineral Tasks (“NI 43-101”) technical report for an up to date mineral useful resource estimate (the “Up to date Useful resource Estimate”) for the Zonia copper-oxide deposit in Arizona, USA (“Zonia” or the “Mission”).
The NI 43-101 technical report is entitled “Useful resource Estimate for The Zonia Mission 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 Chook, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain Technical Providers (“MMTS“), an unbiased certified individual as outlined by NI 43-101 (the “QP“). The Technical Report is obtainable on World Copper’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and is obtainable 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 incorporates Indicated Sources of 109.9 million quick tons grading 0.299% total-copper (TCu) containing 657 million kilos of copper, and Inferred Sources of 59.2 million quick tons grading 0.254 % total-copper containing 301 million kilos of copper, which is a big enlargement 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 sources 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 Could 22, 2022).

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.
- Sources are reported utilizing the 2014 CIM Definition Requirements and had been estimated utilizing the 2019 CIM Greatest Practices Tips, 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:
- Steel worth 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 value of CDN$2.00/ton mined
- 48-degree pit slopes
- The 150% worth 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 moderately anticipated, although not assured, that almost all of Inferred Mineral Sources may very well be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Sources with continued exploration (see “Cautionary Notice to United States Buyers”).
- Numbers might not add resulting from rounding.
- There aren’t any materials variations between the mineral sources reported within the September 9, 2024 information launch and the Technical Report.

Mineral sources that aren’t mineral reserves shouldn’t have demonstrated financial viability; nonetheless, 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 is just not conscious of any environmental, allowing, authorized, title, taxation, socio-economic, advertising and marketing, political, or different related elements that might materially have an effect on the Up to date Useful resource Estimate. Elements that will have an effect on the estimate embrace: metallic worth assumptions, modifications in interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralization zones, modifications to kriging assumptions, metallurgical restoration assumptions, working value assumptions, confidence within the modifying elements, together with assumptions that floor rights to permit mining infrastructure to be constructed will probably 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
Information verification efforts for the Up to date Useful resource Estimate carried out by MMTS included discussions with World Copper personnel, private inspection of the Mission space with the gathering and submission of verify samples to an exterior laboratory, an audit of the exploration drillhole database, and an in depth assessment of further info obtained from historic reviews 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.
