New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 16% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 are forecast to decline by an average of 16% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (CA$7.5m net loss in 2 years).

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. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (19% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$109k sold). Annuncio • Jan 03

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. New Risk • Mar 13

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.
