World Copper Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian resource company focused on 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 compelling economics, and there are at least two other copper porphyry targets with exciting potential to expand the resource base.

"This looks like a good point to pick up World Copper Ltd. which is believed to be just starting to emerge from the second low of a double bottom with its lows of early July. . .the double bottom formed following a severe downtrend from a peak of about CA$1.05 last January, and this double bottom has formed in the vicinity of its early 2021 lows, so it is believed to be close to a major cyclical low here."

"Results from drilling at World Copper Ltd.'s Mancha Amarilla has extended Escalones' resource envelope, implying resource expansion potential. Note that Escalones already has a large copper resource of 3.4 Blb Inferred."
Taylor Combaluzier, Red Cloud Securities
(9/28/22)
"Notable intercepts from World Copper Ltd.'s drilling at the Mancha Amarilla target at Escalones include 0.1544% Cu over 135m (ES-54) and 0.1061% Cu over 49.9m (ES-56) and confirm that mineralization extends for at least 150m south from previous drill holes and to depths of 280m (the depth was predicted by modeling). . .based on these results, management believes that mineralization should improve eastward into the central areas of the Mancha Amarilla zone."

"There are impending company-specific catalysts for World Copper Ltd., including drilling results from the exploration of Mancha Amarilla and the East Skarn at Escalones and the upcoming expanded preliminary economic assessment of the Zonia copper project. . .in addition, the company should experience news flow from management's exploration (infill sampling) initiatives at Rio Negro and Argüelles Este at Escalones and the northeast target at Zonia." —Zacks Small-Cap Research

"World Copper Ltd. announced that it has signed a letter of intent with Desaladora Rosario for the construction of a pipeline that would provide desalinated seawater to its 100%-owned flagship Escalones copper project. . .securing an adequate supply of water from a noncontinental source is a key derisking step for the development of the Escalones project."

"We are initiating coverage on World Copper Ltd. with a Buy rating and CA$2.15/share target price. The company is focused on advancing its flagship Escalones Cu project in Chile, where a recently published preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlined an NPV8% of US$1.5B; World Copper also holds the PEA-stage Zonia Cu oxide project in Arizona and the Cristal Cu exploration project in northern Chile."
Siddharth Rajeev, Fundamental Research Corp.
(2/18/22)
"A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on World Copper Ltd.'s Escalones porphyry-skarn copper-gold project returned an after-tax NPV8% of $1.5B, and a high after-tax IRR of 46%, using $3.60/lb copper. The PEA was stronger than expected as capex/opex estimates are lower, and mine life is higher than our estimates."
Taylor Combaluzier, Red Cloud Securities

"World Copper Ltd.'s Escalones preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlines a 50 Ktpd open-pit operation producing about 2.3 Blb copper cathode over 20 years. We view this as a compelling PEA that demonstrates Escalones could support an oxide heap-leach operation."
