World Copper Ltd. and CEO Provide Corporate Update

24.07.2024  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, July 24, 2024 - World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE:7LY0) ("World Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on corporate activities, as well as additional insights into the Company's operations over the past six months from Gordon Neal, President, Director and CEO of World Copper.

World Copper appointed Gord Neal as its CEO a little over six months ago, and it would like to properly introduce him and his work history to the Company's shareholders. Gord Neal originally began in the resource sector in 2003 as the Vice President of Corporate Development for MAG Silver (NYSE: MAG) (TSX: MAG). He left MAG after ten years to join Silvercorp Metals (NYSE: SVM) (TSX: SVM) as Vice President of Corporate Development. Gord made the decision to join Silvercorp to expand his knowledge of silver mining production, and in 2017, he was appointed as President of New Pacific Metals (NYSE: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG). Gord worked in Bolivia with New Pacific Metals for seven years and brought its Silver Sand project from discovery to a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Gord has taken pride in his work and his association with the many companies he has had the opportunity to serve, and he has been instrumental in creating significant corporate and shareholder value. All three of the abovementioned companies reached billion-dollar market cap valuations under his watch, and his plan is to produce similar results for World Copper.

Gord has been fortunate to have been handed stellar assets in the mining industry, including Juanicipio at MAG, Ying Mine at Silvercorp and Silver Sand at New Pacific. Now, he has been gifted with the Zonia copper project in Arizona.

It is well known that the world is in desperate need of more copper, primarily due to our need to mitigate the effects of climate change. We will need to produce copper faster, more economically and as environmentally friendly as possible. Oxide deposits like Zonia are the key to solving our burgeoning copper deficit. World copper plans on advancing Zonia into production as quickly as possible. Below are some salient points on why Zonia holds significant market value:

Project Highlights

  1. Arizona is the largest copper producing jurisdiction in the United States and was ranked #7 in the 2023 Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies for the Investment Attractiveness and Policy Perception Indices;

  2. Zonia's copper resources are located on private land, resulting in an easier and faster permitting process than resources located on public land;

  3. Active power lines and water wells on site;

  4. The Zonia Project was previously operated as an open pit mine and as a past producer with a 1:1 strip ratio (which is considered in the industry to be very low and as such positively affects mine economics);

  5. 1-billion-pound copper resource (450.M lbs in M&I and 575.M lbs in Inferred);

  6. Lower environmental impact utilizing the SX-EW process (no tailings or smelting);

  7. Production expected to be online in 3-4 years;

  8. 50 to 70 million pounds of copper cathodes per year for 10 years;

  9. Potential for pre-production revenue by utilizing approximately 14 million tons of previously stockpiled mineralized material on leach pads; and

  10. The Company believes it has the potential to triple the resource size of the Zonia project by exploring its existing BLM land claims not included in the updated resource estimate.*
