Fundamental Research Fundamental Research

Western Copper Corporation (TSX: "WRN") was created on May 3, 2006 with an asset spin-off from Western Silver Corporation, which was acquired by Glamis Gold in a $1.2 Billion takeover.

The Company has assembled an experienced management team including Dale Corman, CEO and Co-Chairman (former CEO and Chairman of Western Silver) and Ross Beaty, Co-Chairman (and current Chairman of Pan American Silver).

Western Copper's strategy is to acquire and advance to production a pipeline of large mineral deposits with:

  • Attractive returns at current metals prices
  • Location in geopolitically stable areas
  • Good infrastructure
  • Abundant low-cost energy

With four Canadian properties and an early stage exploration project in the Central Mexican Silver Belt, Western Copper offers excellent potential leverage to current and higher metals prices, including:
