World Copper Initiates Strategic Review Process and

Engages Advisor

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…Vancouver, British Columbia: World Copper Ltd. ("World Copper " or

the "Company"; TSXV: WCU, OTCQB: WCUFF, FSE: 7LY0) announces that the Company has initiated

a strategic review process and has engaged Origin Merchant Partners (the "Advisor") to assist it in its

review. The Advisor will work with World Copper's management and Board to evaluate a range of strategic

alternatives that may be available to the Company to grow and maximize value for all shareholders

(the "Engagement"). There can be no assurance that this process will result in any specific strategic plan

or financial transaction and no timetable has been s et for its completion. The Company does not plan to

provide updates on the status of the review unless there are material developments to report.

Gord Neal World Copper CEO said: "This strategic process has derived from numerous interested corporate

entities that have approached World Copper over the past few weeks . Adverse market sentiment has seen

junior resource companies with excellent economic assets become extremely undervalued. This process

creates an opportunity for larger resource players to seek transactions that can benefit all shareholders".
