VANCOUVER, B.C. — Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:WRN; NYSE Amex:WRN) would like to provide an update on the Carmacks Project and the work that the company is doing towards obtaining a Water Use License in response to the ruling of the Yukon Supreme Court received on February 24, 2011.

The Company has initiated engineering studies to determine whether certain aspects of the project could be modified to improve the project’s reclamation process, and thus satisfy the main concern of the Yukon Water Board. It is also working with regulatory authorities in the Yukon to establish the next steps towards getting the Carmacks Project fully licensed.

In addition, Western Copper has filed Notice of Appeal with the Yukon Court of Appeal on March 25, 2011 in order to obtain maximum flexibility going forward with its Carmacks Project.

“We are evaluating the options relating to the Carmacks Project” said Dale Corman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, “We expect that over the next few months we will complete these evaluations and chart a path forward to get a Water License for the Carmacks Project.”
