Western Copper and Gold Corporation Provides an Update on Several Infrastructure Initiatives Supporting the Development of Its Casino Copper-Gold Project Western Copper and Gold Corporation provided an update on several infrastructure initiatives supporting the development of its Casino Copper-Gold Project ("Casino Project"). Reciprocally, the Casino Project is an important lynchpin to improve the infrastructure of the Yukon and the neighboring north. The required initiatives will take time to unfold, but the overall direction of travel with respect to infrastructure and with the Yukon government's commitment to sustainable mining. Further, these past several weeks have clearly been disruptive and volatile from an overall economic standpoint. But that volatility has also underscored two specific positive aspects of the Casino Project. First, the company have often said that the copper-gold commodity mix makes project highly resilient. That resilience has shown itself to be incredibly valuable in the last year as the gold price has risen nearly USD 750 per ounce. Second, the company believe that the groundswell of support politically for mining, and a growing understanding of its role in a more self-reliant Canadian economy, also bodes well for the Casino Project. On September 17, 2024, Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") conditionally approved $40 million in funding to advance pre-feasibility work for a high-voltage transmission energy corridor connecting the isolated Yukon electrical grid to the North American grid in British Columbia. Western reported that the conditions for this funding have been met by the Yukon Development Corporation ("YDC"), an entity of the Government of Yukon, which included a 25% YDC funding commitment over and above the $40 million from NRCan. Subsequently, a contribution agreement with NRCan was officially signed in Ottawa on February 14, 2025, where project planning activities have since commenced. With its significant industrial load, the Casino Project is central to the concept behind the grid connection - its advancement signals confidence in the Casino Project's potential and its role in shaping the Yukon's future infrastructure. While Western continues to advance LNG as the Casino Project's base case power solution, the Company looks forward to working alongside YDC and First Nations to help make the grid connection a success. Yukon Resource Gateway Project. On March 22, 2025, the Government of Yukon announced the inclusion of the Dempster Highway in the Yukon Resource Gateway Project ("Gateway Project"), expanding the scope of the initiative to include Arctic security and regional connectivity. Whilst positive for the Yukon, a portion of funding previously allocated to the Casino Copper-Gold Access Road has been redirected to support this near-term priority. Western remains in close collaboration with the Yukon government, and discussions on future funding are expected to advance as the project moves through the environmental assessment process, which includes the road. Port of Skagway Transportation Study. Western has completed an updated transportation study evaluating options for shipping concentrate from the Casino Project to the Port of Skagway ("Skagway"). The study, conducted in collaboration with the Municipality of Skagway and the Government of Yukon, assessed both bulk and containerized transportation methods, assessed infrastructure requirements at Skagway, and provided feasibility-level capital and operating cost estimates across multiple scenarios. Several promising transportation alternatives were identified, with costs broadly in-line with, or lower than, the Company's 2022 feasibility study estimates. Annuncio • Apr 02

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Provides Positive Metallurgical Update Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced results from a supplemental metallurgical program (the "Metallurgical Program") for its wholly owned CasinoCopper-Gold Project ("Casino"). The Metallurgical Program used drill core composites of material representing potential mill feed taken from the 2023 diamond drilling program with more variable copper, gold, and molybdenum levels than had been tested in previous drill campaigns and from a broader period of planned mining. Attractive Recoveries - Standard processing methods continue to produce good recoveries for copper and gold, consistent with previous metallurgical work. The project has the ability to produce highly sought after, high-grade concentrates into a market experiencing significant tightness, especially for cleaner concentrates such as those from Casino. The outline of the Metallurgical Program and the review of the results were developed by Western's Technical and Sustainability Committee, which is comprised of members from Western, Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi Materials. The fifteen composites of approximately 200 kg were subjected to detailed mineralogy, comminution testing, flotation testing and detailed analysis of copper concentrates. Composite preparation and all metallurgical test work was completed at ALS Metallurgy in Kamloops, B.C. Table 1 shows the analysis of the composites and their associated lithology, either Supergene Sulphide (SUS) or Hypogene (HYP). The target composition was achieved for all composites except Composite 14, which contained very low grades and was subject to limited testing. Flotation Test Results: Casino proposes using flotation to produce saleable copper-gold and molybdenum concentrates using an industry standard process flowsheet. New Risk • Jan 07
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 21% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 21% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$261k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m.

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Announces Metallurgical Program and Associated Drill Results Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced the launching of a metallurgical testing program for its wholly-owned CasinoCopper-Gold Project. Fifteen composite samples were prepared from core acquired in 2023. Western's Technical and Sustainability Committee, comprised of members from Western, Rio Tinto Canada Inc. and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, prepared the Drill and Metallurgical Programs. The 2023 Drill Program consisted of seven holes for 2,244 m ranging from 130 m to 556 m in length. The drill holes were located inside the current pit boundaries and were selected to provide a range of grades, host rocks, and mineralogy for the Metallurgical Program. The drill holes were also selected to convert indicated resource to measured. The drill results continue to show the importance of the Core Zone wherein relatively higher grades are encountered as shown by DDH23-05, which intersected 158.5 m of supergene mineralization, in part oxidized, with 0.82% CuEq1. Furthermore, DDH23-04, which is approximately one kilometre west of the Core Zone, and DDH23-06, which is at the northwest edge of the Core Zone, intercepted 86.0 m of 0.56% CuEq1 and 174.0 m of 0.52% CuEq1, respectively, in the supergene zone. The fifteen composite samples represent supergene and hypogene mineralization at various grades and will be subjected to comminution and flotation tests to produce a definitive concentrate from each composite. The results from this testing will be used to develop a more detailed geometallurgical model of the deposit. The test program is being carried out at ALS Metallurgy, based in Kamloops, BC, and is being supervised by Western, Rio Tinto Canada Inc., and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation personnel. QA/QC protocol for DDH22-01, including assurance of chain of custody, has been implemented. Core samples are evenly cut by rock saw, then prepared and analyzed by ALS Geochemistry. Prepared samples are initially run using a four-acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-AES analysis. Additional assaying for total copper and molybdenum is run using a four-acid digestion – AES or AAS method to a 0.001% detection limit. Gold assays are run using 30-gram samples by fire assay with an AA finish to a 0.005 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates. Check samples are also included and are sent to a secondary lab to test the primary labs' methods/procedures. Annuncio • Mar 05

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Announces Metallurgical and Drill Program Results for Casino Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced results from a metallurgical program (the Metallurgical Program) and a drill program (the Drill Program) executed in 2022 for its wholly owned Casino Copper-Gold Project (Casino). The Metallurgical and Drill Programs were developed in collaboration with Rio Tinto as outlined in the Investor Rights Agreement and Subscription Agreement entered as part of an investment by Rio Tinto Canada in Western. Results from the Programs were reviewed by a joint team consisting of Rio Tinto and Western personnel and consultants. Metallurgical Program: Test work consisted of detailed mineralogy, heap leach testing, comminution testing, flotation testing and detailed analysis of flotation concentrates. Sample selection and composite sample generation followed the expected mining plan, as outlined in the 2022 feasibility study. Heap leach test work within the Metallurgical Program was completed at SGS Mineral Services of Burnaby, B.C., while all other test work was completed at ALS Metallurgy of Kamloops, B.C. The Metallurgical Program primarily used drill core composites of material representing both potential mill and heap leach feed taken from the 2021 diamond drilling program. Seven drill holes were used to create 21 metallurgical composites for testing. These holes intersected all significant lithologic zones of the Casino deposit, ranging from a copper depleted leached cap (CAP) zone near surface, through a supergene zone (SUP) of low to moderate copper mineral oxidation and secondary sulphide mineralization, to unweathered hypogene ("HYP") material at depth. Gold recovery by heap leaching is planned from the oxidized, upper zones of the Casino Deposit. This near surface material is typically depleted in copper and has retained the gold values originally contained in the deposit. Column leaching of crushed samples was used to determine an expected gold recovery and to obtain key metallurgical parameters related to heap leaching. Crusher Work Index and Bond Abrasion Test Results: Crusher Work Index testing was completed to better understand the crushing energy requirements of preparing heap leach feed. The crusher work indices covered a wide range, from 3.7 to 12.0 kWh/t with an average value of 8.5 kWh/t and fell in the very soft to moderately hard range of hardness. The bond abrasion indices also varied widely from 0.027 to 0.417 g with an average value of 0.247 g and fell in the very mild to moderately abrasive range of abrasiveness. Column Test Results: Column testing was carried out in 20-foot high by 4-inch diameter PVC columns irrigated at 10 L/h/m2 with a solution containing 1.0 g/L NaCN and 300 mg/L Cu to approximate the buildup of copper in the expected operating circuit, at a pH between 11 and 11.5 for 96 days. The samples were crushed to 100% passing ¾ inch which is consistent with the design criteria from the Feasibility Study. Drill Program: The Drill Program included a diamond drill hole (DDH22-01) targeting a deep-seated magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical anomaly indicating potential for a conical mineralized zone directly southeast of the Casino Deposit core zone. Additionally, 23 short diamond drill holes totaling 853.71 m, and 9 combined sonic/diamond drill holes totaling 364.43 m, were completed on various targets for geotechnical and water-monitoring purposes. The program also included 34,387 m of drill core scanning utilizing the GeologicAI scanning device built by Enersoft Inc. DDH22-01 was collared along the Casino deposit's southeastern limit (UTM NAD 83, Zone 7V coordinates: 611160E, 6958125N, elev. 1,236 m) and drilled at an azimuth of 170° and dip of -80° to a depth of 1,008 m. Downhole measurements were made at regular intervals to verify that the hole was on target and successfully intersected the projected MT feature. The top of the anomaly was encountered at approximately 800 m total depth. The lithology of the entire drill hole was dominated by Dawson Range granodioritic intrusive rocks, crosscut by only a few dykes, interpreted as members of the younger Patton Porphyry intrusion. Intrusive Breccias, the principal host rock of the Casino deposit, were not intersected. Phyllic and argillic alteration was logged at shallow depths along the deposit margin, and propylitic alteration dominated within and directly overlying the anomaly. Elevated copper, gold, and silver values were exclusively hosted by thin pyritiferous structural zones throughout the drill hole. The top of the sulphide zone was encountered at approximately 100 m depth; the percentage of sulphides decreased with depth, apart from those hosted by the thin structures.

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Releases the Results of Its Feasibility Study on Its Casino Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Deposit in the Yukon, Canada Western Copper and Gold Corporation released the results of its Feasibility Study (the Study) on its wholly-owned Casino copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in the Yukon, Canada (Casino or the Project). The Study considered the Project being constructed as an open pit mine, with a concentrator processing 120,000 tonnes per day (t/d) to recover copper, gold, molybdenum and silver, as well as a 25,000 t/d oxide heap leach facility to recover gold, silver and copper. The Study supersedes all previous studies and incorporates an updated mineral resource and mineral reserve with an effective date of April 29, 2022. The Study examines the development of the Casino Project, which comprises the processing of 1.43 billion tonnes of Mineral Reserve for both the mill and heap leach, with deposition of mill tailings and mine waste in the Tailings Management Facility (TMF) consistent with the design concepts considered during the Best Available Tailings Technology (BATT) Study as a base case development. Key changes from preliminary economic assessment: The Study in general took the design from the 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and brought the engineering to a Feasibility Study level; however, there are some notable changes from the PEA. Heap Leach Operation: Metallurgical results obtained in 2021 indicated that gold recovery from the heap leach could be increased from 70% as outlined in the PEA to 80% by crushing the ore going to the heap leach to a p80 of 16 mm. This updated gold recovery and crush size have been incorporated in the Feasibility Study along with additional capital for the crushing circuit. This change, along with minor changes in grades and tonnage reporting to the heap leach pad, resulted in 20% greater gold predicted to be recovered through the heap leach circuit. Milling Operation: Minor changes to the grades in tonnage treated through the mill resulted in 4.4% greater metal production predicted to be recovered through the heap leach circuit as compared to the PEA. Cost Escalation: Due to inflation over the past 12 months since the PEA was issued, there were cost increases to certain capital and operating cost inputs. Items of particular note were diesel price, which saw a price increase of 40.3%, and steel, reflected by a price increase in grinding media of 33.2%. Development Plan: The Study evaluates the development of the Casino deposit as a conventional open pit mine, concentrator complex, and heap leach operation. The initial production will focus on the deposit's oxide cap as a heap leach operation to recover gold and silver in doré form. The main sulphide deposit will be processed using a conventional concentrator to produce copper-gold-silver and molybdenum concentrates. Updated Mineral Resource: The Mineral Resource has been updated for this Study, based on an updated resource block model developed during December 2021. The updated model incorporated 2020 drilling and updated geologic models that were not available for previous studies. The Mineral Resource includes Mineral Resources amenable to milling and flotation concentration methods (Mill Material) and Mineral Resources amenable to heap leach recovery methods (Leach Material). Mill Material includes the supergene oxide (SOX), supergene sulphide (SUS) and hypogene sulphide (HYP) mineral zones. Leach material is oxide dominant leach cap (LC) mineralization. The emphasis of leaching is the recovery of gold in the leach cap. The first two following tables present the Mineral Resource for mill and leach material. The third table presents the Mineral Resource for combined Mill and Leach Material for copper, gold, and silver. The Mineral Resource for molybdenum is as shown with Mill Material since it will not be recovered for leach material. The Mineral Resource is inclusive of the Mineral Reserve. Annuncio • Jun 07
Western Copper and Gold Corporation Commences Exploration and Drilling Program At Casino Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced its 2022 exploration and drilling program at its wholly owned Casino Copper-Gold Project. The Program was developed in collaboration with Rio Tinto as outlined in the Investor Rights Agreement and Subscription Agreement entered as part of an investment by Rio Tinto Canada in Western. Exploration Drilling: The key exploration target for the Program will be a deep magnetotelluric low-resistivity anomaly initially identified in 2009 by a Titan IP-MT survey, and better defined by data. An equally extensive induced polarization anomaly lies above and northwest of this MT anomaly. Historical drill holes that penetrated that anomaly contained low-grade copper and gold values. A second deep drill hole, located approximately 175 m southwest, is contingent on the results of the first drill hole. Enersoft Logging: The Program also involves scanning of drill core utilizing the innovative GeologicalAI robotic scanning device built by Enersoft Inc., of Calgary, Alberta. The scanning includes Light Detection and Ranging ("LIDAR") scanning, X-ray fluorescence analysis, hyperspectral analysis, high-resolution photography and some geotechnical analyses. The primary focus will be to continue standardization of rock types drilled throughout all programs completed to date. Scanning will be done on approximately 50,000 m of historical drill core and the 2022 exploration drilling targeting the MT anomaly, which will be given priority for scanning throughout the Program. Geotechnical Drilling: The Program will also include roughly 1,500 m of geotechnical and hydrological drilling designed by Knight-Piesold Consulting. This will target the ground conditions of the proposed tailings management facility, proposed heap leaching and milling facilities and the new airstrip. In addition, several test pits are planned for the proposed heap-leach area. Board Change • May 31

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Commences Exploration and Drilling Program at Casino Western Copper and Gold Corporation announces its 2021 exploration and drilling program (the 'Program') at its wholly owned Casino Copper-Gold Project ('Casino'). The Program was developed with input from Rio Tinto as outlined in the Investor Rights Agreement and Subscription Agreement entered as part of an investment by Rio Tinto Canada in Western. The Program consists of several components outlined below: Exploration Drilling: The 2021 program will include an exploration diamond drilling phase comprising roughly 5,000 metres in 12 holes. These will target the peripheral areas of the Casino Deposit (the "Casino Deposit" or "Deposit"), as well as several exploration targets within the Canadian Creek property. Drilling on Canadian Creek will specifically target at least three areas having prospective soil geochemical and/or geophysical signatures. These include an area of anomalous molybdenite revealed from soil sampling and a potassium anomaly revealed from geophysical radiometric surveying. Also, a prospective magnetic "low" anomaly south of the main Casino Deposit will also be tested. Metallurgical and Geotechnical Drilling: The diamond drilling program will also include a metallurgical component comprising 1,000 metres of large-diameter core in three holes, to test amenability of the mineralization to mineral processing. The program also includes roughly 1,500 m of geotechnical and hydrological drilling in the Deposit area, as well as a 910 metre geotechnical program designed by Knight-Piesold Consulting. This will target the ground conditions of the proposed tailings management facility, proposed heap leaching and milling facilities and new airstrip. Resource Confirmation Drilling: The 2021 program also includes a five-hole, 1,500 metre resource confirmation campaign, targeting the eastern and southern margins of the main Deposit. This campaign is designed to confirm the lithological and mineralogical settings of this portion of the Deposit. Core obtained will undergo metallurgical testing as well as conventional gold and multi-element analyses. Soil Sampling: The 2021 program includes a soil sampling component, covering the majority of the Casino property and focusing particularly on areas east and south of the Casino Deposit. The program will comprise of collection of roughly 2,400 "B-horizon" soil samples on a 200 m by 200 m grid spacing. The objective is to identify any geochemical signatures that may indicate a second porphyry centre or further mineralized zones related to the main Deposit. Enersoft Logging: The program also involves scanning of drill core utilizing the innovative "GeologicalAI" robotic scanning device built by Enersoft Inc., of Calgary, Alberta. The scanning includes "LIDAR" (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning, XRF analysis, hyperspectral analysis and some geotechnical analyses. The primary focus will be to establish a standardization of rock types drilled throughout all programs completed to date. Scanning will be done on the majority of drill core form the 1992 through 1994 programs, much of the core from the 2008 through 2012 programs, and some core from the high-grade "Deposit Core" identified by Western from the results of the 2020 program. Scanning will also be done for all of the 2021 metallurgical, geotechnical and resource confirmation drilling, and on the 2021 exploration drilling where warranted. Annuncio • Jun 23
Western Copper and Gold Corporation Releases Results of Preliminary Economic Assessment on Casino Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Deposit Western Copper and Gold Corporation released the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment on its wholly-owned Casino copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in the Yukon The Study considered the Project being constructed as an open pit mine, with a concentrator processing nominally 120,000 tonnes per day and a gold heap leach facility processing nominally 25,000 tonnes per day. The Study supersedes all previous studies and incorporates the updated mineral resource with an effective date of July 3, 2020. The Study also incorporates outcomes of the Best Available Tailings Technology Study (the "BATT Study") completed in 2018 with participation by First Nations, the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board ("YESAB") and the Yukon Government. The design concept for the tailings management facility ("TMF") also reflects the guidance received from the Independent Engineering Review Panel. The Study examines the development of the Casino Project, which comprises the processing of 1.3 billion tonnes of mineralized material for both the mill and heap leach, with deposition of mill tailings and mine waste in the TMF facility consistent with the design concepts considered during the BATT Study as a base case development. The TMF is sized to provide sufficient capacity to store approximately 712 Mt of tailings and 500 Mt of mining waste rock and overburden materials. The remaining 415 Mt of non-acid generating ("NAG") tailings will be used for dam construction following classification with hydrocyclones and dewatering screens. The TMF for the PEA includes design changes based on the recommendations from the BATT Study. The key changes to the TMF design concept include: Substantial reduction in the quantity of free-standing water impounded during operations and a corresponding reduction of risk associated with this facility. Closure by saturated NAG tailings cover limiting the need for a flooded cover. A tailings dewatering facility to conserve additional coarse sand material for dam construction. Surplus sand produced through cycloning and screening operations will be used to buttress the downstream slopes of the main embankment. Changes to the design of the starter dam to reduce construction risk. Added a HDS water treatment facility to provide mitigation for potential water surplus conditions, However, surplus water is not expected under design operating conditions. The updated mineral resource, released in July 2020, was used as the basis of the PEA. For the purposes of the Study, only the measured and indicated mineral resources were considered as mill or heap leach feed. Inferred mineral resources in the pit are considered to be waste as there are limited inferred mineral resources in the designed pit. Note that the Study reports on mineral resources, not mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Annuncio • May 19

Western Copper and Gold Announces Exploration Results from the Casino Project, Yukon Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced assay results from the 2020 exploration diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Casino Project ("Casino") located in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The exploration program consisted of 12,008 m of diamond drilling in 49 holes. There were four major drilling targets: the "Gold Zone", a zone of higher-grade gold values along the southern and western margins of the Casino deposit; step-out drilling at the "Northern Porphyry Zone"; drilling in the "Casino West Zone" west of the Gold Zone; and a new target in the "Ana Zone" located 2 km west of the Casino West Zone within the Canadian Creek claim block acquired in 2019. Drilling at the Gold Zone confirmed the higher copper and gold grades of the breccia-hosted mineralization. All 20 completed holes within the Gold Zone returned notable intervals of mineralization. Of note is an area within the eastern Gold Zone where a cluster of angle holes, DDH20-05, 08, 27, and 46, were drilled into the core of the Casino porphyry-copper system. Holes DDH20-05, 08, and 27 drilled a leached cap whose thickness is approximately 100 m over an area of 500 m by 300 m. These holes confirmed gold grades that are significantly higher than the 0.25 g/t gold measured and indicated heap-leach resource grade. In addition, holes DDH20- 05, 08, and 46 confirmed gold and copper grades significantly higher than the 0.16% copper and 0.18 g/t gold grades of the measured and indicated mill resource. These grades extend over 100 m below the leached cap in the supergene and hypogene zones and cover an area of 800 m x 500 m. This material would be targeted in the early years of the mill operation. Also, higher-grade gold-silver intervals spatially related to the late-stage Patton Porphyry dykes throughout the main deposit enrich the tenor of mineralization locally within the Gold Zone. At the Northern Porphyry Zone, step-out drill holes like DDH20-09 and 44 increased the northern extent of mineralization by approximately 500 m. Drilling at the Casino West Zone focused on the southern flank of the Canadian Creek valley. Although no significant values were returned from the farthest upslope holes, values increased progressively downslope towards Canadian Creek, reaching a maximum value of 0.30% CuEq3 over 87.00 m in DDH20-37. The program included three holes targeting the Ana Zone, centered 4 km west of the core of the main deposit. All returned narrow mineralized intervals ranging from 1.92% CuEq3 over 3.00 m in DDH20-31 to 0.37% CuEq3 over 15.00 m in DDH20-40. Western will now focus on completing the Preliminary Economic Assessment announced at the end of last year, which is on target for completion in Second Quarter of 2021. Annuncio • Nov 10
