Western Copper Extends Higher Grade Supergene Mineralization at Casino

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the 2010 exploration program at its wholly owned Casino Project, located in the Yukon.

Drilling at Casino has extended the flat-lying, shallow copper and gold enriched supergene zone to a 2.0 km by 1.2 km area – a significant expansion over its previously outlined extent as identified in the 2008 Pre-feasibility Study (Figure 1). The average core length of the supergene from the current drilling is 80 m. The copper and gold enriched zone remains open to the north for further expansion.

Highlights of the 33 holes drilled and assayed during the 2010 campaign are summarized in Table 1 and a complete listing of drill-holes and results are shown in Table 2. Hole locations are shown on Figure 1.

Hole CAS-073 is of particular interest. In addition to the 114 m of 0.97% copper equivalent mineralization in the supergene zone, it also contains 110 m of copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization at a copper equivalent grade of 0.69% in the hypogene zone.

Table 1: Highlights from current drilling program

Western Copper has now completed 20,000 m of new drilling since the pre-feasibility was completed in 2008. An additional 6,000 m of drilling is planned for the remainder of 2010 and is expected to be complete by mid-August. All of the new drilling has been drilled in areas outside of the previously defined area of mineralization or in areas previously considered waste.

“We believe the discovery of significant additional near surface supergene mineralization has the potential to considerably improve the project’s economics” said Dale Corman, Chairman & CEO “The newly discovered mineralization with overall higher grades would be extracted and processed during the first years of the mine life and much of it occurs in areas of the pit previously thought to be waste material and should result in a lower stripping ratio”

The Casino project is located 380 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon and has a NI 43-101 compliant reserve estimate containing 8 million oz of gold, 4.4 billion lb of copper, and 475 million lb of molybdenum, contained in approximately 1 billion tonnes of ore.

Scott Casselman, P.Geo., is the qualified person responsible for the execution of the Casino Project exploration program and the preparation of the technical information in this news release.

QA/QC including assurance of chain of custody has been implemented in accordance with industry best practices. Split core samples are prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex. 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 4 acid digestion – AES or AAS method to a 0.001% detection limit. Gold assays are run using 30 gram sample fire assay with an AA finish to a 0.005 ppm detection limit. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and blanks and property specific duplicates, with check assaying performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd.

Western Copper Appeals Yukon Water Board’s Decision

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Carmacks Copper Ltd. (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) announce that on June 18, 2010, the Company filed a Petition with the Yukon Supreme Court seeking leave to appeal from the decision of the Yukon Water Board issued on May 10, 2010, in connection with the application for a Water Licence for the Carmacks Copper Project.

The Yukon Waters Act provides that an application can be brought for leave to appeal from a decision of the Water Board on grounds of law or jurisdiction.

If granted, the appeal would seek directions from the Court respecting the jurisdiction and responsibilities of the Water Board in the context of the jurisdiction and responsibilities of the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (“YESAB”) and the Minster of Energy, Mines and Resources under the Quartz Mining Act. The appeal would seek a declaration that the Water Board decision was contrary to (1) the Screening Report and Recommendation of the Executive Committee of YESAB, (2) the Decision Documents issued by the Yukon and Federal Governments, which gave approval for the Carmacks Copper Project to proceed subject to terms and conditions, and (3) the Quartz Mining Licence issued by the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, which authorized the construction, operation and ultimate decommissioning of the mining facilities of the Project.

It is Western Copper’s intention to seek reconsideration of its water license application and this appeal will provide clarity and certainty regarding the process to be followed.

Western Copper Provides Detail on Carmacks Water Use Licence

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) would like to provide a summary of the regulatory status of the Carmacks Copper Project (“Project”) in light of the decision of the Yukon Water Board issued May 10, 2010.

The permitting process began in 1994. There were extensive baseline studies conducted over many years. A Project Description and Environmental Assessment Report were submitted in June of 2005. After a very extensive and detailed environmental assessment process, the Executive Committee of the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (“YESAB”) issued its Report and Recommendations in July of 2008.

The Executive Committee concluded that the company had provided sufficient information to allow for the identification and assessment of potential effects, that potential environmental and socio-economic effects had been adequately assessed, and that practical means had been identified to prevent or reduce to an acceptable level any potentially significant adverse effects of the Project.

Based on those conclusions, the Executive Committee recommended that the Project be allowed to proceed, subject to terms and conditions, since it had been determined that any adverse environmental and socio-economic effects can be mitigated by those terms and conditions.

In the Decision Document issued by the Yukon Government on September 12, 2008, the Government accepted the Executive Committee’s recommendations and the terms and conditions of mitigative measures. The Decision Document again confirmed that the Project should be allowed to proceed.

The two main regulatory requirements for the Project to proceed after the issuance of the Decision Document are the Quartz Mining Licence under the Quartz Mining Act and a Water Use Licence under the Waters Act.

The Quartz Mining Licence was issued by the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources on April 15, 2009. That licence authorizes the development and production of the Project under section 135 of the Quartz Mining Act. The Quartz Mining Licence addresses the development and production of the mine, including requirements for Construction Plans, a Reclamation and Closure Plan, Financial Security, and Environmental Protection Plans.

On November 2009, the Water Board confirmed that it had completed the review of the Water Use Licence Application and deemed it adequate for public comment.

In considering the Water Use Licence Application, the Water Board is entitled to give consideration to the fact that the environmental assessment of the Project and components has been conducted by YESAB, and that the components of the Project listed above have been, and are being addressed under the Quartz Mining Licence.

A Water Use Licence addresses issues of water use, and the protection of water quality, through the establishment of effluent discharge standards, water quality objectives, and ongoing monitoring, as determined by the Board.

The Water Board held hearings on the application for a Water Use Licence from February 15 to 19 and March 1 and 2, 2010.

In the Application documents (running to nine volumes), the presentations to the Board at this public hearing, and in the responses to the issues raised by the interveners, we believed the Company had satisfied the requirements of the Waters Act for the issuance of a Water Licence, consistent with the YESAB Report and Recommendations, and the Decision Document.

In particular, we believed that the Company had satisfied the requirements of section 12(4) of the Waters Act in showing that:
• the use of waters or the deposit of waste proposed under this Project will not adversely effect, in a significant way, the use of waters by any other person; and
• any waste that would be produced by the Project will be treated and disposed of in a manner that is appropriate for the maintenance of water quality standards.

Unfortunately, in its decision issued May 10, 2010, the Water Board denied the application for a Water Use Licence. In issuing its decision, the Board did not follow or implement the findings of the environmental assessment of the YESAB Executive Committee, as reflected in the Decision Document, and did not acknowledge the provisions of the Quartz Mining Licence which addresses the development, operation and reclamation of the Project. The Board indicated disagreement with the conclusions of the YESAB Executive Committee respecting the feasibility and environmental effects of the heap leach facility and operations and the reclamation plan, including heap rinsing and neutralization. The Water Board determined that further and more detailed information would be required from the Company on these issues, as well as water management issues, before a Water Use Licence would be granted.

The Company has a number of concerns respecting the Water Board’s decision of May 10, 2010. First, the Company is surprised that the nine volumes of application materials, accepted by the Board in November of 2009 have now been found to require further detail and information. Second, the Company is surprised that the Board has not followed or implemented the conclusions of the environmental assessment of YESAB and the Decision Document which addressed in detail issues such as heap leaching and reclamation, and which concluded that the Project should be allowed to proceed. Third, the Company is surprised that the Board made no reference in its decision to the determination of the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources to issue a Quartz Mining Licence authorizing development and operation of the mine and related facilities, and establishing terms and conditions and security for reclamation. The Company had expected that the decision of the Water Board would recognize the environmental assessment, the Decision Document and the Quartz Mining Licence, and focus on the appropriate terms and conditions of a Water Use Licence.

The Company is considering a number of recourses respecting the May 10, 2010 decision. The Company is seeking clarification and direction from the Yukon Government respecting the role and responsibility of the Water Board in the context of the environmental assessment and Decision Document under the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act and the Quartz Mining Licence issued under the Quartz Mining Act. The Company is also reviewing the appeal provisions under the Waters Act as well as considering the information and materials required for a re application for a Water Use Licence.

Western Copper’s Carmacks Project Water Use Licence Decision

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) was notified today by the Yukon Water Board that the Carmacks Copper Project’s (“Project”) Water Use Licence application has been denied.

Western Copper is disappointed by this unexpected decision.

The Company is concerned that the decision of the Yukon Water Board is inconsistent with previous decisions of the Executive Committee of the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board, and the Yukon Government which, after a lengthy environmental assessment process, determined that the Project should be allowed to proceed and issued the Project a Quartz Mining Licence allowing construction to commence.

The Company will be reviewing the decision in more detail and determining its next course of action.

Western Copper Initiates Drilling at Casino

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce commencement of a 15,000 meter diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Casino gold-copper-molybdenum project located in the Yukon.

The 2010 exploration program complements and continues last year’s drilling program. The aim of the program is to expand the resource by converting in-pit waste to ore and to provide data to improve the geological model of the deposit.

The 11,000 metres drilled during 2009 indicated a significant expansion of the known area of mineralization within the currently defined pit outline as defined in the 2008 pre-feasibility study, and discovered a new molybdenum zone (See news release dated November 18, 2009).

“2010 is shaping to be a crucial year for the Casino project” said Dale Corman, Chairman & CEO of Western Copper “At completion of the exploration program, we will update the reserve and use this information, together with expanded engineering studies, to update the pre-feasibility study. We anticipate that the exploration program will expand the reserve, lower the strip ratio and better define the technical parameters of the pit”.

The Casino project is located 380 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon and has a NI 43-101 compliant reserve estimate containing 8 million oz of gold, 4.4 billion lb of copper, and 475 million lb of molybdenum, contained in approximately 1 billion tonnes of ore.

Western Copper receives Robert E. Leckie award for outstanding mining reclamation practices

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce that it was awarded the 2009 Robert E. Leckie award for the major reclamation program carried out on old abandoned workings at its Casino Project.

The Robert E. Leckie award was created in 1999 to acknowledge innovative approaches to planned reclamation, research, and cooperation between the Government and the mining industry. It is presented annually during the Yukon Geoscience Forum in Whitehorse, Yukon to worthy recipients for exceptional reclamation and restoration efforts.

“It is a great honor for us to receive this award and I would like to thank everyone who worked with us to make this event happen” said Dale Corman, President & CEO “While completing the cleanup activities we were committed to go beyond our ordinary obligations and to operate in a way that is consistent with our sustainable development goals. We are focused on developing our projects in a manner that respects and protects the environment and enhances benefits to nearby communities”.

During the reclamation of the old exploration camp at the Casino Project all old buildings, structures, equipment, material, and debris were removed and the area was recontoured to reestablish natural vegetation. Other areas of the property where debris had been allowed to accumulate over the many years of exploration by previous companies were similarly cleared and regraded.

Western Copper’s world class Casino Project is located 300 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon and has a NI 43-101 compliant reserve of 8 million oz of gold, 4.4 billion lb of copper, and 475 million lb of molybdenum, contained in approximately 1 billion tonnes of ore.

Western Copper completed a positive pre-feasibility study on the Casino Project in June 2008 and is currently focusing on exploration with the goal of increasing the size of the resource. The Company is also advancing baseline environmental and socio-economic studies in preparation for submission to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (“YESAB”), the first step in the permitting process.

Western Copper expands in-pit mineralization and discovers a new molybdenum zone at Casino

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce assay results from the completed exploration program at its wholly owned Casino Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

The assay results indicate a significant expansion of the known area of mineralization. Only one hole in the 39-hole exploration program, CAS-035, to the west of the deposit and outside of the currently defined pit, did not return intercepts of mineralization above the resource cut-off grade (0.3% CuEq). 16 of the holes drilled outside or on the border of the deposit outline as defined in the 2008 pre-feasibility study and within the currently defined pit reported long (>50 m) intercepts above cut-off grade.

Of note are 12 holes which targeted an area within the pit previously thought to be barren and described as a Latite Plug (Table 1). The mineralization in this area is comprised predominantly of molybdenum, indicating a new molybdenum zone. One interval in hole CAS-025 reported 0.518% molybdenum, 0.33% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, and 2.3 g/t silver over 9.5 meters. All of these holes reported significant lengths of mineralization above cut-off grade.

Assay results from the nine holes drilled to the northeast and northwest of the previously identified deposit outline and within the currently defined pit (Tables 2 & 3) also indicated that mineralization extends in these directions.

The four holes inside of the current deposit outline targeted deeper mineralization and better definition at the edges of the currently defined deposit (Table 5). Hole CAS-002 succeeded in demonstrating that above cut-off grade mineralization extends beyond previously proven depths with the bottom of the hole returning ore grade mineralization.

10 holes (Table 6) targeted geophysical anomalies identified during the Quantec Titan 24 IP survey performed earlier this year (see news release dated September 8, 2009). Drilling of two of these anomalies to the south of the deposit identified significant lead-zinc-silver-gold zones. CAS-021, to the south of the deposit, returned 9.85% zinc, 0.13% lead, 6.40 g/t silver, and 0.03 g/t gold over 16.75 meters. One hole to the north of the deposit identified anomalous gold.

“We are very pleased with the results of this drilling program.” said Dale Corman, President & CEO “The identification of mineralized material within areas of the pit previously described as barren will significantly add to the reserve and improve the economics of the project by converting waste into ore. Once this data is entered into the model and analyzed, we will be in a position to identify further drilling targets for next year to continue adding to the reserve. Casino is one of the world’s largest gold, copper and molybdenum reserves and has the potential to become one of the world’s largest mines.”

The Casino project is located 300 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon and has a NI 43-101 compliant reserve of 8 million oz of gold, 4.4 billion lb of copper, and 475 million lb of molybdenum, contained in approximately 1 billion tonnes of ore.

See the end of this news release for the list of drill hole assays and the drilling map.

Scott Casselman, P.Geo., is the qualified person responsible for the execution of the Casino Project exploration program and the preparation of the technical information in this news release.

QA/QC including assurance of chain of custody has been implemented in accordance with industry best practices. Split core samples are prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex. Prepared samples are initially run using an four acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-AES analysis. Additional assaying for total copper and molybdenum is run using a 4 acid digestion – AES or AAS method to a 0.001% detection limit. Gold assays are run using 30 gram sample fire assay with an AA finish to a 0.005 ppm detection limit. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property specific duplicates, with check assaying performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd.

Western Copper identifies significant zones of potential mineralization at Casino

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce that preliminary results from a Quantec Titan 24 deep penetration geophysical survey (“Quantec Survey”) at its wholly owned Casino Project, located in the Yukon, have identified several zones of potential mineralization outside of the historical mineralization limits (see attached figures).

Complete assays have been received for only one hole, CAS-014, drilled on the edge of one of the potential mineralized zones 500 meters outside of the historical mineralization limit (see attached figures). These assays indicate the existence of copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization, but at below ore grades.

Dale Corman, President & CEO said “We are very encouraged by the results of the Quantec Survey and initial drilling. The recent drill hole, CAS-014, confirms copper mineralization outside of the currently proposed pit and suggests there is a great potential to expand the Casino resource. We’ve now completed just under 6,000 meters of drilling in 21 holes, and will include these in an updated resource calculation when assays become available.”

The Quantec Survey was conducted in July 2009 and consisted of nine lines at 300 m spacing to cover an area of approximately 5.8 km2. This survey collected data for three geophysical events: direct current resistivity (DC), induced polarization (IP), and magnetotellurics (MT). The Quantec Survey measured IP to depths of 750 meters and MT to depths of 1.5 kilometers. This data was interpreted by Quantec geophysicists working with Western Copper geologists to identify a series of drill hole targets.

Western Copper’s previously announced 10,000 meter drilling program to convert 200 million tonnes of inferred material to measured and indicated has been modified to include drilling of targets identified by the Quantec Survey.

The Casino Project has NI 43-101 compliant proven & probable reserves of 4.4 billion lb of copper, 8 million oz of gold and 475 million lb of molybdenum, contained in approximately 1 billion tonnes of ore. A positive pre-feasibility study was completed in June 2008 projecting a 30 year mine life with a 20.4% pre-tax IRR, C$1.8 billion NPV (8%) and a 3.8 year payback period. The Casino Project has an additional 200 million tones of NI 43-101 inferred resources.

The exploration program is being supervised by Scott Cassleman, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by the National Policy instrument 43-101.

Western Copper Obtains Quartz Mining License for Carmacks Copper Project

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or “Company”) (TSX:WRN) is pleased to announce that the Yukon Department of Energy, Mines and Resources issued a Quartz Mining License for the Carmacks Copper Project on April 15, 2009. This license permits Western Copper to build the Carmacks Copper Mine and establishes many of the terms and conditions under which the mine will operate.

The Water Use License is the next and final milestone of the permitting process and will allow the mine to operate. Western Copper expects to hear shortly of the status of its application, which was updated and submitted to the Yukon Water Board in December 2008.

The Carmacks Copper Project is located 192 km north of Whitehorse, Yukon in the traditional territory of Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation and Selkirk First Nation. After a projected 20 month construction period, the Carmacks Copper Mine will employ 150 people and produce 14,500 tonnes (32 million pounds) per year of cathode copper.

Western Copper is currently reviewing the parameters of the independent Feasibility Study completed in July 2007 to determine whether higher returns can be obtained by savings in operating and capital costs. The Company is also exploring several financing options and will be in a position to make a production decision upon securing financing and all major permits.

President and CEO Dale Corman said “After last year’s thorough review of the Carmacks Copper Project by the Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board, we are pleased to have obtained the Quartz Mining License from the Yukon Government. This license allows us to start construction of the Carmacks Copper Mine; however, a construction decision is dependent on the Company’s ability to secure financing on favourable terms and copper prices. We will continue to closely monitor developments in the metal and financial markets, but the Company’s goal to build the mine will not be achieved at the expense of compromising shareholder value”.

Western Copper Announces Positive Results of Pre-Feasibility Study on Casino Copper-Gold-Molybdenum

Pre-feasibility study projects 30 year mine life with 20.4% pre-tax IRR, $7.5 billion undiscounted NPV and 3.8 year payback period.

Western Copper will hold a conference call on Wednesday, June 25 at 10 am Pacific Time.

SUMMARY

VANCOUVER, B.C. Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN) announces that its wholly-owned Casino copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in central Yukon Territory can be developed economically as an open pit mine. The independent pre-feasibility study, prepared by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation of Tucson, Arizona (“M3”), estimates an initial capital cost of $2.1 billion. The project will produce 3.6 billion pounds of copper, 320 million pounds of molybdenum and 5.1 million ounces of gold over a 30 year mine life.

The financial highlights are shown in Table 1 and are based on London Metal Exchange (“LME”) three-year historical rolling average metal prices. (All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated).

“We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the results of M3’s pre-feasibility study on the Casino deposit and we believe this will be a great project for the Yukon”, says Western Copper’s chairman and CEO, Dale Corman.

“We have engaged Gartner Lee, who is a well regarded international environmental consulting firm, to assist us in the permitting of Casino. Over the last two years Western Copper has worked closely with the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board and Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources in permitting our Carmacks project and have found them to be fair and professional. We look forward to working with them again on the Casino Project.”

FINANCIAL EVALUATION

The independent pre-feasibility study reports that development of the Casino deposit will produce a pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 20.4% and an undiscounted Net Present Value (“NPV”) of $7.5 billion, based on 100% equity. After-tax figures indicate an IRR of 14.9% and an undiscounted NPV of $4.5 billion.

This base case financial evaluation uses LME three-year historical rolling average prices as of the end of May 2008. This approach is considered to be an industry standard and consistent with the guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payback of initial capital investment is achieved in 3.8 years due to the significant cash flow generated by higher ore grades and plant throughput during the early years of production.

Further sensitivity analyses may be found in the pre-feasibility study executive summary.

CAPITAL and OPERATING COSTS

Total initial capital investment in the project is estimated to be $2.1 billion, which represents the total direct and indirect cost for the complete development of the project. Of this figure $1.56 billion represents mine direct and indirect costs and costs for the full development of transportation and port infrastructure. The remaining $550 million represents the cost of a complete mine site power plant as estimated by Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd.

The life-of-mine sustaining capital for the processing plant is estimated at $420 million and for the mine is estimated at $440 million.

Operating costs are estimated to be $9.72 per tonne of sulphide ore over the life of mine.

These operating costs are based on an estimated power rate of $ 0.095 per kWh as concluded in the power plant study.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The pre-feasibility study recommends development of the Casino deposit as a conventional, electrified truck-shovel open pit mine. The initial development will focus on the deposit’s oxide cap as a heap leach operation to recover gold in doré form. The main sulphide deposit will be processed using a conventional concentrator to produce copper-gold and molybdenum concentrates.

The mill will have a nominal production rate of 90,000 tonnes of sulphide ore per day (averaged over the life of mine). The heap leach will nominally process up to 30,000 tonnes per day for 7 years.

Including low grade and stockpile ore, the average annual stripping ratio is estimated at 1:1 over the life of mine and 0.7:1 for years 1 - 6. Over a projected mine life of 30 years, the mill will produce 3.6 billion pounds of copper, 320 million pounds of molybdenum and 4.59 million ounces of gold contained in concentrates. The heap leach will add a further 540 thousand ounces of gold produced as doré.

Initial permits to support commencement of construction are assumed to be obtained in 2012. Based on this assumption, production of gold doré from the heap leach is anticipated in mid 2013 and production of concentrate from the sulphide mill is estimated in late 2015.

RESOURCE & RESERVE ESTIMATE

The February 2004 resource estimate was re-classified for the purpose of the pre-feasibility study. A small portion of the measured resources were re-classified into indicated resources. The combined measured and indicated resource remains unchanged.

The pre-feasibility study estimates an NI 43-101 compliant proven and probable mill ore reserve of 914 million tonnes grading 0.21% copper, 0.024% molybdenum and 0.24 g/t gold. The compliant proven and probable heap leach ore reserve is estimated at 78 million tonnes grading 0.43 g/t gold.

Table 4 details the mineral reserve estimate for the project.

OPPORTUNITIES

M3 notes that the economics in the pre-feasibility study do not take into account opportunities for improvement based on:

• Inclusion of revenue from the recovery of silver
• Conversion of inferred resource into measured and indicated
• Increasing the overall resource
• Sharing of infrastructure development costs with other parties
• Refined engineering during feasibility study
• Investigation of local sources of lime

NEXT STEPS

Gartner Lee Limited has been retained to prepare the permitting documentation and has commenced collection of baseline monitoring data. As part of this process Western Copper and Gartner Lee intend to commence a program of community consultation in support of the development and permitting of the project.

Western Copper is preparing an exploration drilling plan to increase the measured and indicated resource and anticipates commencing drilling this year. Refinement of pre-feasibility level engineering will continue in support of permitting and the development of a full feasibility study.

IMA Options Hushamu Copper-Molybdenum-Gold Property from Western Copper Corporation

IMA Exploration Inc. (IMR-AMEX, IMR-TSX.V) and Western Copper Corporation (WRN-TSX) are pleased to announce they have entered into a binding Letter of Intent and are preparing an Option Agreement to further explore and develop the Hushamu Property and in which IMA has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest.

The Hushamu porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold deposit is located on northern Vancouver Island, B.C. in an established mining area, approximately 25 kilometers to the southwest of Port Hardy.

The Hushamu deposit hosts a NI 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource of 230.9 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu and 0.31 g/t Au, containing 2 million ounces of gold and 1.4 billion pounds of copper, as well as an inferred resource of 52.8 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu, 0.38 g/t Au, containing 327 million pounds of copper and 0.6 million ounces of gold. The deposit also contains unclassified molybdenum mineralization.

Table 1 summarizes the April 2005 mineral resource estimate at 0.10%, 0.20% and 0.30% Cu cut-offs. Additional infill and step out drilling is required to define the molybdenum, silver, and rhenium content and define the extent of mineralization.

Table 1: Summary of Resource Estimation for the Hushamu Copper-Gold Deposit

At least 5 additional copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry targets and more than 15 poly-metallic volcanic and sediment hosted targets occur within the property and IMA considers the overall property to host an extensive exploration upside. IMA’s technical team will be focused on infill drilling to upgrade the deposit as well as implementing an aggressive exploration strategy to test the numerous exploration targets in and around the known deposit. Drill permitting and surface exploration programs will commence shortly.

In 2005 Lumina Resources, later acquired by Western Copper, conducted the first major exploration in the area since 1994 that comprised historic data compilation, airborne geophysics (2,687 line kilometers), diamond drilling (3,155 m in 18 holes), geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical surveys (3,842 soil samples), and alteration studies. Lumina discovered porphyry style copper-gold molybdenum mineralization in the NW Expo zone (hole EC-228 intersected 1.0 g/t Au and 0.17% Cu over 95 m). In 2007 Western Copper further tested the NW Expo target with 2 drillholes and intersected two mineralized horizons. The drillholes cut an upper zone of mineralization containing 82.6 meters of 0.033% molybdenum and 0.14 grams per tonne gold and a deeper mineralized interval of 182.5 meters grading 0.58 grams per tonne gold and 0.013% molybdenum. The second drillhole intersected the upper zone over an interval of 27.4 meters containing 0.022% molybdenum and 0.13 grams per tonne gold and the deeper zone intersected 204.2 meters grading 0.74 grams per tonne gold and 0.012% molybdenum (refer to Western Copper press release April 2007).

The Hushamu property, owned 100% by Western Copper Corporation, consists of 216 mineral claims (approximately 42,669 hectares) located in a known copper-porphyry mining camp and surrounds the formerly producing Island Copper Mine of BHP-Utah. During Island Copper’s operation from 1971 to 1995, the mine produced 345 million tonnes of ore with average metal grades of 0.41% Cu, 0.017% Mo and 0.19 g/t Au. The rhenium content of the molybdenum concentrate was an important by-product. The demand for rhenium has driven prices to $10,550 per kilogram.

As per the terms of the option agreement, IMA has agreed to expend a minimum of $1.9 million in the first year of a three year option period. Over years two and three IMA will spend an additional $13.1 million on drilling, metallurgical, and engineering studies in the completion of a pre-feasibility report on the Hushamu deposit. This expenditure, a total of $15 million, and the completion of a pre-feasibility report will earn IMA a 49% interest in the project (Option 1). IMA can earn an additional 16% by funding a subsequent feasibility study by the fourth year (Option 2) an additional 5% can be earned upon completion of mine permitting (Option 3) for a total interest of 70% with Western Copper retaining a 30% participating interest in the joint venture.

IMA is a Vancouver based exploration company with over $25M in its treasury. This transaction is Phase I of IMA’s business strategy and is compatible with the Company’s objective of acquisition of projects that contain established resources and offer significant opportunities to expand these values through continued exploration. The Hushamu project fits this criteria and is located within a region that has traditionally seen successful mine development and award winning environmentally sound mine decommissioning practices. In addition, there are small-scale industrial mineral mining operations currently underway within the Hushamu project area. A PowerPoint presentation on the Hushamu project is available on the Company’s web site (http://www.imaexploration.com).

Updated Resource Estimate at the Carmacks Copper Project

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Western Copper Corporation is pleased to announce an updated resource estimate for its wholly-owned Carmacks Copper Project in the Yukon Territory.

The new estimate was prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc. (“Wardrop”) of Vancouver and represents an update to the resource estimate prepared in April 2007 for the Carmacks Project Feasibility Study. The update includes geological and assay results from an additional 64 diamond drill holes in 9,900 m drilled during the 2007 campaign in the No.1, 4 and 7 Zones. This new resource has the potential to increase the mine life of the Carmacks Copper Project.

At this cut-off grade 1.6 Mt of measured and indicated oxide tonnage has been added to the resource as a result of infill drilling in Zones 1 and 7, and definition drilling in Zone 4. The new estimate represents an addition of 21.5 million pounds of total contained copper in oxide mineralization in the measured and indicated categories.

Measured and indicated sulphide mineralization decreased principally as a result of a re-interpretation of the oxide – sulphide boundary, and an extension of interpreted mineralization to depth in Zone 1.

The table below summarizes the new oxide and sulphide resource estimate for all three zones combined at a 0.25% total copper cut-off grade.

Independent Mining Consultants (“IMC”) of Tucson will compile a new mineral reserve estimate based on the updated resource model.

Update on Zone 14

Zone 14, located approximately 600 m east of Zone 12, was discovered in the summer of 2007 by diamond drilling a geophysical anomaly. Western Copper announced the discovery in News Release 13 on August 21, 2007, when it released results from hole WC-130 (1.39% copper over 8.8 m).

The Zone consists of a mineralized meta-volcanic amphibolite gneiss unit similar to host rocks in other mineralized zones at the Carmacks property. The latest assay results are as follows:

Zone 14 is oriented sub-horizontally with a shallow dip to the east. The copper mineralization occurs as narrow higher grade intervals at the western edge of the zone, transitioning to wider intervals at lower grades to the east. The Zone appears to be cut-off to the west on this section but is open to the east.

Additional geophysics in this area was completed in the fall of this year and preliminary interpretations indicate that the anomaly associated with Zone 14 continues along strike for at least 240 m northward and 240 m southward. Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Whitehorse is processing the data collected in this area and is compiling a final report that is expected in mid-December.

Update on Zones 12 and 13

As a follow-up to the 2006 diamond drilling program 3,800 m in 34 diamond drill holes were drilled during the summer of 2007 in Zones 12 and 13. The objective to complete infill drilling to a nominal spacing of 400 m was achieved. The results infer that the two zones are geologically continuous consisting of moderately mineralized amphibolite gneiss hosted in early Jurassic granodiorite, and variably overlain by Cretaceous volcanic flows. Near surface oxidation is irregular and occurs less pervasively than in Zone 1 but shallow sulphide mineralization was intersected consistently in both zones. Western Copper plans to prepare oxide and sulphide resource estimates for the two zones combined.

New Copper Zone Discovered at Carmacks Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Western Copper Corporation (TSX: WRN) is pleased to announce assay results from hole WC-130 located approximately 600 meters east of Zone 13.

WC-130 intercepted a 60 m zone of sulphide mineralization of which the bottom 8.8 m graded 1.39% copper and 226 parts per million molybdenum. The upper portion of the zone contained significant pyrite mineralization and trace copper and molybdenum values. The zone is a meta-volcanic amphibolite gneiss similar to host rocks in other mineralized zones at the Carmacks property. Assays are pending for diamond drill holes WC-140, 141 and 142 which also intersected the zone.

The new zone is oriented sub-horizontally with a shallow dip to the east, and based on logging of additional intercepts is estimated to be 50 m true width. A single line reconnaissance geophysical survey identified the zone and further geophysics is planned to establish its strike prior to further diamond drilling.

Maps showing drill hole locations at the Carmacks property on plan and on section are shown below. These have also been posted on Western’s web site: http://www.westerncoppercorp.com.

The Carmacks property is 100% owned by Western Copper and is currently being developed as a open pit copper oxide mine using solvent extraction/electrowinning technology (SX/EW).

Independent Feasibility Study Supports Development of Carmacks Copper Project

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Western Copper Corporation today announced that an independent feasibility study has concluded that development of the wholly owned Carmacks copper property in the Yukon Territory can be achieved with an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 15.7%, based on 100% equity financing. The project has an undiscounted net present value (NPV) of C$123 million, with payback of initial capital investment realized in 3.9 years.

The proposed development plan is for an open pit mine with an acid heap leach followed by solvent extraction and electrowinning. Over the projected 6 years of operation the mine will produce a total of 208 million pounds of pure cathode copper of grade equal to or exceeding LME Grade A.

The feasibility study was compiled by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation of Tucson, Arizona (“M3”) with resource estimation by Wardrop Engineering (“Wardrop”) of Vancouver and reserve estimation and mine costing by Independent Mining Consultants of Tucson (“IMC”). Geotechnical input to the study was provided by Golder Associates of Burnaby and environmental input was provided by Access Consulting Group of Whitehorse. The study is based on an average annual production rate of 1.73 million tonnes of ore for the estimated 6 years of operation. Total initial capital investment in the project is estimated to be C$144 million (including a C$14.1 million contingency reserve) with a further C$7.32 million of owner’s costs. Life-of-mine operating costs are estimated to be C$204 million or US$0.83 per pound of copper produced (at a US$0.85 exchange rate) utilizing the current mineable reserve.

M3 notes that the economics in the feasibility study do not take into account opportunities based on the potential for:

• increasing the mineable oxide reserve in Zone 1 and the other identified mineralized zones,
• recovery of gold from the ore,
• contracting of certain unit operations and
• recovery of copper and precious metals from the sulphide zones

M3 used a metal price of US$2.32 per pound of copper for the base case. This price utilized a 5 year average of 3 years historical and two years future copper prices from the London Metals Exchange. Using an April 2007 spot copper price of US$3.65/lb., an IRR of 37.3 % is projected with an undiscounted NPV of C$334 million and a 1.6 year payback period.

Further project economics sensitivities of the Carmacks Copper Project are as follows.

With a view to preserving shareholder leverage to higher metals prices, Western Copper will be reviewing all financing options, including the purchase of copper put options, should a portion of the project be financed utilizing a secured debt financing facility. The structure of the financing will be determined after permits are secured and will take into account relevant factors at that time.

The development plan proposed in the study considers a construction start in early 2008 with pre-stripping of the mine commencing concurrently. Production of copper is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2009. The current reserve estimate would sustain mine production for 6 years. Following this, rinsing of the heap would commence with further recovery of copper before neutralization and reclamation of the heap is completed.

The mine plan proposed by IMC is based on a new resource estimate for the No.1 Zone which was prepared by Wardrop. This new resource estimate includes historical data plus data from the 2006 exploration campaign. The estimated proven and probable reserves are contained within an engineered pit design based on a floating cone analysis of the resource block model using the measured and indicated oxide resources. Total combined proven and probable oxide reserves are estimated at 10.6 million tonnes with a grade of 1.044% total copper. The following tables summarize the new resource and reserve estimates.

Western Copper Co-chairman and CEO, Dale Corman notes “We are pleased the M3 study confirms an attractive rate of return and payback period for the project. We believe that diamond drilling currently underway will identify sufficient additional oxide reserves to extend the life of the project well beyond the 6 year mine life proposed in the feasibility study.”

M3 is a full-service EPCM firm and is recognized for its experience in the design and construction of mineral processing plants.

The executive summary of the M3 feasibility study will shortly be posted on Western Copper’s web site at http://www.westerncoppercorp.com.

Western Copper Confirms Potential at NW Expo and Discovers New Molybdenum Zone

Vancouver, British Columbia- Western Copper Corp (TSX: WRN) reports that recent diamond drilling at North West Expo on the northern end of Vancouver Island has further confirmed the potential for a large tonnage gold, molybdenum and copper mineralization deposit. Two diamond drill holes EC-233 and EC-234, with intercepts 100 meters on either side of diamond drill holes EC-218 and EC-228 which were drilled in December of 2005, have indicated the continuity of two separate zones, a molybdenum gold zone and a gold copper molybdenum zone.

Dale Corman Western Copper’s Chief Executive Officers comments “Drilling at NW Expo has demonstrated continuity from earlier drilling. We are very encouraged by the gold and molybdenum content of this zone. Our efforts to define additional tonnage of higher grade material to mine in conjunction with our Hushamu deposit appear to be very promising. The Cougar Zone which represents a new copper, gold, molybdenum porphyry discovery warrants further drilling to demonstrate its potential”.

Holes EC-233 intersected 82.6 metres from 138.7 to 221.3 metres grading 0.033 % molybdenum and 0.14 grams per tonne gold. Further down the hole from 271.3 to 453.8 metres, an interval of 182.5 metres, the hole averaged 0.58 grams per tonne gold, 0.078 % copper and .013 % molybdenum.

EC-234 intersected 27.4 metres from 140.2 metres to 167.6 metres grading 0.022 % molybdenum and 0.13 grams per tonne gold. From 246.9 metres to 451.1 metres, an interval of 204.2 metres, the hole averaged 0.74 grams of gold per tonne, 0.11 % copper and 0.012 % molybdenum.

For reference, in December 2005, diamond drill hole EC-218 intercepted 0.46 grams per tonne gold, 0.09% copper and 0.042% Mo over 144.6 metres. Diamond drill hole EC-228, drilled in the same plane, intersected 1 gram per tonne Au , 0.17 % copper and 0.025% Mo over 95 metres. (see attached map).

The mineralized zones appear to strike NW and dip to the NE, and are inferred by a linear magnetic anomaly, striking NW, several hundred metres in length. Additionally, some alteration assemblages analogous to both the Island Copper deposit and the Hushamu deposit were recognized in the core.

Diamond drill holes EC-236 and EC-242 drilled 1.1 kilometres to the north east on a separate magnetic geophysical anomaly (Cougar Zone) have also intersected gold and copper mineralization. Hole EC- 242 returned intercepts of 61.0 metres from 210.3 metres to 271.3 metres grading 0.14 grams per tonne gold and 0.16 % copper, and 23.2 metres from 278.6 to 301.8 metres of 0.36 grams per tonne gold and 0.18 % copper. EC-236 returned 0.09 grams per tonne gold and 0.12 % copper over 176.4 metres from 219.2 metres to 395.6 metres.

Composited results from completed holes EC-233 and EC-234 from NW Expo and EC-242 and EC- 236 from the Cougar Zone are shown in the table below. Hole EC-235 returned minor values from 145.4 m to the end of hole at 294.7 m. Holes EC-237, 238, 239, and 240 from the NW Expo Zone and Hole EC-241 from the Cougar Zone were stopped short of their objectives due to deep overburden or bad ground conditions.

Further results from both the North West Expo and Cougar Zones will be released as they are received.

Carmacks Copper Project: Assay Results Complete from 2006 Drilling Program

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Western Copper Corp. (TSX: “WRN”) (“Western”) announces further diamond drilling results from its Carmacks Copper Project in the Yukon, Canada.

The results are for two holes in the No.1 Zone and five holes in the newly discovered No. 13 zone. The No. 1 Zone holes are infill holes drilled down dip to better define the transition zone between copper oxides and sulphides. These holes confirmed a transition from oxide to sulfide mineralogy at a depth of 220 m as well as the continuity of sulphide mineralization to a total downhole depth of 547 m.

In addition to sulphide mineralization also identified in previous drill results, the No. 13 Zone results identified some shallow oxide mineralization. No. 13 Zone oxide material, with additional definition drilling, may prove feasible to mine in conjunction with the company’s planned copper oxide development of the No. 1 Zone.

A 10,000 metre diamond drilling program is scheduled to commence in the spring of 2007 and will further test the No. 13 Zone, the No. 12 Zone to the south of the 13 Zone and the 2000 Zone to the north of the 13 Zone.

Mr. Dale Corman CEO and Co-Chairman of Western, comments. “We are very pleased with the progress that is being made at our Carmacks project. The project feasibility study is scheduled for completion at the end of March and permitting of the project is moving forward on an orderly schedule”.

Western Copper Confirms Significant New Mineralized Zone at Carmacks

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Western Copper Corporation (TSX: WRN) (‘Western’) announces results from an additional ten holes drilled in the 2006 diamond drilling campaign, at its wholly-owned Carmacks Copper Project in the Yukon, Canada.

The results are for three holes in Zone 13 (WC-020, WC-022, and WC-023) and seven holes in Zone 1 (WC-008, WC-009, WC-010, WC-018, WC-019, WC-021A, and WC-021B) - see attached Drill Hole Location Map.

Zone 13 Results

Drilling results from the first three of ten Zone 13 holes drilled in 2006 indicate significant sulphide resource potential.

Zone 13 is located approximately 1 km southeast of Zone 1 and its genesis, orientation, structure and lithological character appear to be analogous to the Zone 1 deposit. However, with the exception of near surface occurrences on the north end of the zone, the mineralized hornblende gneiss host appears to have remained largely unoxidized.

Assay results from the first three complete holes received are summarized in the following table:

The results from holes WC-020, WC-022, and WC-023, each drilled approximately 100 m apart and from the hanging wall side, indicate significant shallow intercepts of sulphide (chalcopyrite) and native copper mineralization. Apparent intercepts widen to the south, showing overall average grades of 0.62 % Cu over 89 m in WC-022 to 0.69 % Cu over 80 m in WC-023. Included narrower zones of 0.91 % Cu over 6 m in WC-023 to 1.47 % total Cu over 10 m in hole WC-022 are indicative of local enrichment.

Assaying results from four additional widely-spaced holes within Zone 13 are pending and will be released as they are received.

Zone 13 remains open laterally and at depth. Drilling to determine the size and potential of this Zone, and possible continuity with Zone 12 located 500 m to the south, will commence in April as part of the ongoing exploration plan for the property.

Zone 1 Results

The following table summarizes the results from seven holes drilled in Zone 1:

The results from holes WC-008, WC-009, WC-010, and WC-019, all drilled from the hanging wall of Zone 1, confirm both the lateral and vertical continuity of oxide mineralization, previously inferred from parallel but more widely-spaced historical drilling. The interval oxide copper grades are consistent with and will increase the level of confidence in results obtained from prior drilling. The elevated copper and gold grades in holes WC-008, WC-009, and WC-019 at the footwall contact confirm similar results in prior drilling.

Hole WC-018, drilled below oxide mineralization in Zone 1, is indicative of the continuity at depth of primary sulfide mineralization (bornite and chalcopyrite) at elevated copper grades across the apparent width of the zone. Drilling to test deeper sulphide mineralization is planned for 2007.

Holes WC-021A and WC-021B were drilled down-dip on Zone 1 to test down-dip variability in grade and to examine the transition of oxide-to-sulphide mineralization.

Hole WC-021A ended in oxide mineralization before reaching the oxide-sulfide contact due to difficult ground conditions. However the hole returned above-average values of 1.30 % oxide Cu and 1.11 gpt Au over its entire length of 69 m. An included 53 m interval returned values of 1.47 % oxide Cu and 1.38 gpt Au.

Hole WC-021B transitioned sharply from oxide into sulphide mineralization at 229 m down-hole, returning consistently above-average oxide copper and gold values over the entire oxide zone. Copper values averaged 1.29 % oxide Cu and 1.01 gpt Au over 226 m in the oxide zone. The copper grade in the deeper sulphide zone averaged 0.67 % total Cu over 111 m before crossing into the footwall.

Assaying results from two remaining Zone 1 holes, WC-025 and WC-028, are pending. Results will be released as they are received.

Dale Corman, CEO and Co-Chairman of Western, comments, “Drilling results from the 2006 drilling program have exceeded our expectations. The new Zone 13 which also contains molybdenum has the potential to significantly expand the scope of the project”.

Carmacks Copper Project: No. 1 Zone Drilling Results and No. 13 Zone Exploration

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Western Copper Corporation (TSX: WRN) (‘Western’) is pleased to announce the first set of assay results from Western’s 2006 diamond drilling campaign at its wholly-owned Carmacks Copper project in the Yukon, Canada.

The first five holes for which it has received complete assays, holes WC-002, WC-003, WC-004, WC-005 and WC-007, were drilled in the No. 1 Zone at Carmacks.

The following table details the results:

Hole WC-002 drilled down dip on section 1500 N was designed to determine the oxide sulfide interface and to confirm the continuity of sulfide mineralization below the oxide zone. Oxide mineralization was confirmed, averaging 1.20% non-sulfide Cu between 123 and 228 m down hole. Sulfide mineralization, consisting primarily of bornite and chalcopyrite, was intersected between 228 and 385 metres down-hole and averaged 0.93% total copper.

Hole WC-003 on Section 1600 N and hole WC-004 on Section 1400 N were drilled to 86.9 and 85.4 metres total depth, respectively. The holes were drilled as verification holes at an inclination of -50 degrees, perpendicular to and across the mineralized gneissic host rock formation within the upper oxide zone. The results are consistent with the oxide copper - gold mineralization originally intersected by adjacent, similarly oriented drill holes DDH-140 and DDH-141 drilled in 1992 by Western Copper Holdings Ltd.

Hole WC-005 on Section 1500 N and hole WC-007 on Section 1600 N were drilled to 288.1 and 163.5 metres total depth, respectively.

Hole WC-005 was drilled at an inclination of -50 degrees, perpendicular to and across the mineralized gneissic host rock formation, intersecting initially ‘seepage zone’ oxide mineralization adjacent to the hanging wall then passing into the oxide zone. An average oxide zone interval grade of 1.02% oxide Cu is consistent with average grades for the oxide zone. WC-005 also intersected transitional oxide-sulfide mineralization at depth from 267 to 279 m, averaging 1.62% total Cu (0.89% sulfide copper) before passing out into the granodiorite footwall.

Hole WC-007 was drilled at an inclination of -50 degrees, perpendicular to and across the mineralized gneissic host rock formation, also intersecting ‘seepage zone’ oxide mineralization adjacent to the hanging wall then passing into the oxide zone. This hole infills and is consistent with mineralized intercept widths from adjacent historical drilling. However, both the copper oxide and gold grades over this intercept are higher than the average oxide copper - gold mineralization originally intersected in historical drilling on adjacent, similarly oriented drill holes drilled in 1992.

For additional information on No.1 Zone geology and historical drilling results, refer to the March 2006 Technical Report on the Carmacks Copper Project posted on Western’s website, http://www.westerncoppercorp.com.

Approximately 7,100 metres of diamond drilling in 34 holes were completed property-wide in the 2006 drilling campaign. Of this, approximately 4,500 metres in 17 holes were targeted for verification, in-fill and deepening of the No. 1 Zone. Due to the high demand for analytical services in the exploration industry at the present time, assay results from all drilling with the exception of holes WC-002, WC-003, WC-004, WC-005, and WC-007 are pending. Remaining assay results will be released as they are received.

No. 13 Zone Exploration

The resource potential of the No. 13 Zone, first identified as a target in the 1970’s, was explored in the latter half of the 2006 season. The No. 13 Zone is located approximately 1 km southeast of the No. 1 Zone and its orientation, structure and lithological make-up appear to be analogous to the No. 1 Zone.

Western drilled 10 widely spaced holes totaling 1,700 metres on the No. 13 Zone in 2006. In 7 of these holes, mineralization was intercepted as near surface malachite and azurite, and/or as sulfide and native copper mineralization hosted in hornblende gneiss and granodiorite. No assay results for this drilling have been received to date.

Drill testing to establish the width, plunge and the lateral and down-dip extents of the No. 13 Zone will continue next year as part of the ongoing exploration plan at the property. The No. 12 Zone, 500 metres along strike to the south, will also be targeted with the objective of testing continuity with the No. 13 Zone.

Dale Corman, CEO and President of Western, comments, “We are pleased with the results obtained to date and anticipate that the assays for the remaining holes in the No. 1 and No. 13 Zones will be received prior to the end of January 2007. The No. 1 Zone results will be integrated into a new NI 43-101 compliant copper oxide resource estimate which will be used in the updated feasibility study currently in progress by M3 Engineering and Technology. We anticipate that the additional drilling will ultimately expand both the oxide and sulfide potential of the property”.

• A strong management team to develop and acquire promising copper and precious metals properties with a current cash position of approximately C$39.4 million
• In addition to Western’s Carmacks Yukon development stage project (targeted to enter copper production in 2008) and the Sierra Almoloya Mexican silver belt project currently being explored by optionee Queenston Mining Inc. (TSX: QMI), addition of 3 Canadian properties with NI 43-101 compliant resources containing a combined Measured and Indicated resource of 6.1 billion pounds of copper and 9.7 million oz. of gold and Inferred mineral resource of 3.2 billion pounds of copper and 0.6 million oz. of gold.

• The new discovery at NW Expo in the island copper belt has excellent exploration potential. Lumina encountered 1.00 grams of Au, 0.17% Cu and 0.025% Mo over a 95 m. interval and 0.52 grams of Au, 0.11% Cu, and 0.0046% Mo over a 124.9 m. interval in two drill holes at NW Expo at the end of the 2005 drilling season.

Mr. Corman commented, “We are very pleased with this first acquisition of properties with very substantial metal deposits and excellent exploration potential. This acquisition illustrates our vision for acquiring and developing large strategic and precious metals deposits with excellent exploration potential, abundant low-cost energy, good infrastructure in low geopolitical risk areas. Our view is to sequentially develop a series of projects into producing mines. We arevery pleased that Ross Beaty has agreed to join our board and consented to serve as cochairman.”

Western Copper: Carmacks Copper Project 2006 Drilling Program And Project Update

VANCOUVER, B.C. - Western Copper would like to make the following announcement and provide a Carmacks Copper Project update of 2006 plan targets:

Western Copper has contracted Kluane Drilling Ltd. to undertake a 10,000 meter diamond drilling program. Mobilization is targeted to begin on July 4, 2006. The goal of the program in 2006 is to increase the Carmacks Project mineral resources.

Project update:

• A geosciences firm from Whitehorse, YT has been retained to review, verify and update the existing historical resource estimate to comply with NI 43-101. The review is underway and it is estimated that this resource update including additional drilling, will be completed in the third quarter of 2006.
• A 2,000 meter rapid air blast drill program will be initiated in August 2006 to sample bedrock for the purposes of identifying No. 1 zone extensions, sampling other exploration targets on the property, and for condemnation drilling of the heap leach pad and waste storage areas.
• An update of the feasibility study is targeted for release by year-end 2006 / early 2007.
• Permitting of the Carmacks Copper Project, which is targeted for Q1 2007, will allow the initiation of mine site preparation and construction in Q2 2007.

Western Copper is engaging local towns and First Nations communities in a consultation process in accordance with the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAA) process. As a result of recent meetings – including meetings last week - with involved communities and governments, Western Copper is encouraged by its productive and positive working relationship with the communities it has engaged, the YESAA Board and with the Yukon Territorial Government.

Western Copper and Carmacks Copper Project background:

Western Copper Corporation (“WRN” – TSX) is the company formed on May 4, 2006 in an asset spin-off upon the takeover of Western Silver Corporation by Glamis Gold (“GLG” – NYSE). Most of the Management team and Directors from Western Silver transitioned to, and now form the nucleus of, Western Copper.

The spin-off of assets from Western Silver to Western Copper includes assets that total $40 million in cash and marketable securities and two properties: the development stage Carmacks Copper deposit in Canada’s Yukon Territory and the exploration stage Sierra Almoloya property in Mexico.

In 1995 a project Feasibility Study was completed and in 1997 a Basic Engineering Report was completed for the Carmacks Copper Project. The mine design consisted of an open pit mine and production facility with output of roughly 32 million lb. of 0.997% pure cathode copper per year over the 7 year mine life, however the price of copper dropped in the late 1990s leading to project deferment at that time.

Western Copper’s focus is to develop the Carmacks property into a producing core asset and the identification and acquisition of attractive gold and copper projects, at the advanced exploration stage, for development into operating properties.
