ABOUT WORLD COPPER LTD.

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

exploration and development of its two primary copper porphyry projects, Escalones and Cristal, both

located in Chile. World Copper has laid claim to five copper porphyry targets, one with estimated resources,

significant soluble copper mineralization, and exciting potential to expand the resource base.

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 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.

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.
