Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2024) - World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE: 7LY0) ("World Copper " or the "Company") announces that the Company has initiated a strategic review process and has engaged Origin Merchant Partners (the "Advisor") to assist it in its review. The Advisor will work with World Copper's management and Board to evaluate a range of strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company to grow and maximize value for all shareholders (the "Engagement"). There can be no assurance that this process will result in any specific strategic plan or financial transaction and no timetable has been set for its completion. The Company does not plan to provide updates on the status of the review unless there are material developments to report.
Gord Neal, World Copper CEO, said: "This strategic process has derived from numerous interested corporate entities that have approached World Copper over the past few weeks. Adverse market sentiment has seen junior resource companies with excellent economic assets become extremely undervalued. This process creates an opportunity for larger resource players to seek transactions that can benefit all shareholders".
