World Copper Files Technical Report for Updated Resource
Estimate for the Zonia Project
This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus
supplement dated July 17, 2024 to its short form base shelf prospectus and amended and restated short
form base shelf prospectus dated June 7, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...Vancouver, British Columbia: World Copper Ltd. ( "World Copper" or
the "Company"; TSXV: WCU, OTCQB : WCUFF, FSE:7LY0) is pleased to announce that further to its
news release dated September 9, 2024, World Copper has filed on SEDAR+ a National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (" NI 43 -101") t echnical report for an updated mineral
resource estimate (the "Updated Resource Estimate") for the Zonia copper-oxide deposit in Arizona, USA
("Zonia" or the "Project").
The NI 43- 101 technical report is entitled "Resource Estimate for The Zonia Project 2024
Update" (the "Technical Report") and is dated October 24, 2024 and dated effective August 27 , 2024.
The Technical Report was prepared pursuant to NI 43- 101 by Sue Bird, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain
Technical Services ("MMTS"), an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 (the "QP"). The
Technical Report is available on World Copper's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and is available on
World Copper's website at www.worldcopperltd.com.
Updated Resource Estimate for Zonia
The Updated Resource Estimate contains Indicated Resources of 109.9 million short tons grading 0.299%
total-copper (TCu) containing 657 million pounds of copper, and Inferred Resources of 59.2 million short
tons grading 0.254 % total -copper containing 301 million pounds of copper , which is a significant
expansion of the Zonia resource estimate in the Indicated category compared to previous estimates. These
numbers differ slightly from those in the September 9, 2024 news release https://www.sedarplus.ca/csa-
party/records/document.html?id=36569ac7f403fafcdc1c63db82f0b1569d3b0209b2fed187f0276066b6fcc
e1b, as adjustments were made to the calculation for depletion from historical underground workings.
The classified resources are outlined in detail in Table 1 at the base case cut -off grade of 0.18% and at a
range of cut-off grades in Table 2. The Updated Resource Estimate was completed for World Copper as
part of the Company's overall exploration plan for Zonia (see news release dated May 22, 2022).

Notes to the Updated Resource Estimate Tables:
1. The effective date of the Updated Resource Estimate is August 27, 2024.
2. Resources are reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and were estimated using the 2019 CIM
Best Practices Guidelines, as required by NI43-101
3. The base case Mineral Resource has been confined by "reasonable prospects of eventual economic
extraction" shape using the following assumptions:
a. Metal price of US$4.00/lb of Cu
b. Metallurgical recovery of 75% in oxides and 70% in the transitional zone
c. Offsite costs of US$0.05/lb of Cu
d. Processing Costs of US$4/ton milled and General & Administrative (G&A) costs of CDN$
2.00/ton milled
e. Mining cost of CDN$2.00/ton mined
f. 48-degree pit slopes
g. The 150% price case pit shell is used for the resource confining shape
4. The resulting NSR = Cu*US$3.95/lb *0.75 for oxides and NSR = Cu*US$3.95/lb *0.70 in the transitional
zone.
5. It is reasonably expected, though not guaranteed, that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be
upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration (see "Cautionary Note to United States
Investors").
6. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
7. There are no material differences between the mineral resources reported in the September 9, 2024 news
release and the Technical Report.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability; however, a
reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction pit has been used to confine the Updated Resource
Estimate using parameters detailed in the table notes. The QP for the Updated Resource Estimate is not

relevant factors that could materially affect the Updated Resource Estimate. Factors that may affect the
estimate include: metal price assumptions, changes in interpretations of mineralization geometry and
continuity of mineralization zones, changes to kriging assumptions, metallurgical recovery assumptions,
operating cost assumptions, confidence in the modifying factors, including assumptions that surface rights
to allow mining infrastructure to be constructed will be forthcoming, delays or other issues in reaching
agreements with local or regulatory authorities and stakeholders, and changes in land tenure requirements
or in permitting requirement.
Zonia Resource Modelling
Data verification efforts for the Updated Resource Estimate carried out by MMTS included discussions
with World Copper personnel, personal inspection of the Project area with the collection and submission
of check samples to an external laboratory, an audit of the exploration drillhole database, and a detailed
review of additional information obtained from historical reports and information provided by the
Company. MMTS also completed checks on the geologic information as compared to the paper logs, and
checks of the assay values contained in the exploration database as compared to assay certificates provided
by World Copper.

or achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking information. Such risks and other factors include,
among others, operating and technical difficulties in connection with mineral exploration and development activities,
actual results of exploration activities, including on Zonia, the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and
mineral resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, the costs of production, capital expenditures,
the costs and timing of the development of new deposits, requirements for additional capital, future prices of copper,
changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial markets and in the demand and market price for
commodities, lack of investor interest in future financings, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining
industry, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the completion of development or

Cautionary Note to United States Investors
World Copper prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada,
which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to mineral resources in this news release
are defined in accordance with NI 43 -101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Standards. The U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the " SEC") has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization
Rules") to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities
are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of " measured
mineral resources ", "indicated mineral resources " and "inferred mineral resources ", which are defined in
substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of
"proven mineral reserves " and "probable mineral reserves " to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM
Standards.
U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are " substantially similar" to corresponding definitions
under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM
Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that World Copper may report as " measured
mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources " and "inferred mineral resources " under NI 43- 101 would be the
same had World Copper prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization
Rules.
In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources " cannot form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
