ABOUT WORLD COPPER LTD.

World Copper Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian resource company focused

the exploration and development of its copper porphyry projects: Escalones and Cristal in Chile,

and Zonia in Arizona. Two of these projects have estimated resources with significant

soluble copper mineralization, and there are at least two other copper porphyry targets with

exciting potential to expand the resource base. The Zonia project is being acquired as part of the

previously announced merger transaction with Cardero Res ource Corp. Please refer to news

releases dated Ju ne 9th, 2021 and April 20th, 2021 for more details and for the current status of

the transaction.

About Escalones

The Escalones porphyry- skarn copper-gold project has estimated inferred resources of 426

million tonnes of 0.367% total copper within the oxidized zone , based on nearly 25,000m of

drill core from 53 holes. The 3.45 billion pounds of copper should be amenable to heap leaching

with an average recovery of 71%. The Company is focused on exploring the Mancha Amarilla

target immediately to the south of the existing resource. In addition, three significant

hydrothermal alteration zones, each measuring between 2,000m and 3,000m in diameter, lie 8-

10km to the north of the main discovery.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability as

there is no certainty that all or any part of the resources will be converted into reserves. Inferred

resources are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality 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.

About Zonia

The Zonia project is in Yavapai County, Arizona, and consists of 261 mine ral claims and

additional surface rights, all totaling 4,279.55 acres. It is a near -surface, copper-oxide resource

and a brownfields site having already been mined in the late 1960s and '70s. The Project is at the

PEA level and has been significantly de -risked with over 50,000 metres of drilling completed to

date and with substantial amounts of detailed engineering completed. Further details can be

found here.

The World Copper team has a unique skill in navigating the mining sector within Chile, with

some members having worked in the country for more than 40 years and with discovery success.
