ABOUT WORLD COPPER LTD.
World Copper Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadia n resource company focused the
exploration and development of its two primary copper porphyry projects, Cristal and Escalones, both
located in Chile. World Copper has laid claim to five copper porphyry targets, one with estimated resources
and significant soluble copper mineralization.
The Escalones porphyry-skarn copper-gold project has estimated resources of 185 million tonnes of 0.33%
copper (0.37% CuEq) Indicated and 254 million tonnes of 0.39% copper (0.43% CuEq) Inferred, based on
nearly 25,000m of drill core from 53 holes. In addition, three significant hydrothermal alteration zones,
each measuring between 2,000m and 3,000m in diameter, lie 5-10km to the north of the main discovery.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demo nstrated economic viability as there is no
certainty that all or any part of the resources will be convert ed into reserves. Inferred resources are that
part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or qual ity are estimated on the basis of limited
geological evidence and sampling. It is reasonably expected that the inferred resources could be upgraded
to indicated resources with continued exploration.
Cristal is in a prospective porphyry copper belt and with high potential for additional large porphyry
discoveries, and the World Copper team has long been involved i n the Chilean lithiu m space and as such
has a unique skill in navigating the mining sector within the country.
