WORLD COPPER ANNOUNCES CEO TRANSITION

Nolan Peterson has resigned as chief executive officer and president of World Copper Ltd. Mr. Peterson resigned to pursue other opportunities and the board of directors and management of the Company wish him well in his future endeavours.

The Company has appointed Hendrik van Alphen, current Chairman of the Board, as Interim Chief Executive Officer and President until a permanent candidate is identified.

Mr. van Alphen remarked, "I am glad to take on the role of interim CEO as we retrench the Company in this current difficult market to set the stage for new permanent leadership and new corporate development. While there are many short-term headwinds presently, the business case for copper is as strong as ever, and World Copper has great assets to capitalize on the long-term upward trend."
