Often, this information includes words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Although management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward‐looking information will prove to be accurate. By its nature, forward‐ looking information is based on assumptions and involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements, or results, to be materially different from ‐ future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include among other things the following: (i) decreases in the price of base precious metals; (ii) the risk that the Company will continue to have negative operating cash flow; (iii) the risk that additional financing will not be obtained as and when required; (iv) material increases in operating costs; (v) adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; and (vi) environmental risks and changes in environmental legislation.

This MD&A (See “Risks and Uncertainties”) contains information on risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the forward‐looking information.

Caution Regarding Adjacent or Similar Exploration and Evaluation Assets

This MD&A contains information with respect to adjacent or similar mineral properties in respect of which the Company has no interest or rights to explore or mine. The Company advises US investors that the mining guidelines of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC.

All readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or rights to acquire any interest in any such properties, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties, and any production therefrom or economics with respect thereto, are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company’s properties or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of the Company’s mineral properties.

Caution Regarding Historical Results

Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from the discussion and analysis in this MD&A may not necessarily indicate future results from operations. In particular, the current state of the global securities markets may cause significant reductions in the price of the Company’s securities and render it difficult or impossible for the Company to raise the funds necessary to continue operations, thus resulting in the Company losing its rights to some or all of its mineral properties. See “Risk Factors”.

All of the Company's public disclosure filings, including its most recent material change reports, press releases and other information, may be accessed via www.sedar.com and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.

Qualified Persons

John Drobe, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), has reviewed the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the technical disclosure in this MD&A with respect to the Escalones and Cristal Properties, and has approved the disclosure with respect thereto herein. Mr. Drobe is not independent of the Company, as he is a consultant.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

World Copper Ltd. (the “Company”, “World Copper”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 3, 2018. On July 16, 2020, the Company changed its name from Wealth Copper Ltd. to World Copper Ltd. The Company is an exploration stage junior mining company currently engaged in the identification, acquisition and exploration of precious metal resources in Chile. The Company’s head office and records office are located at #2710 - 200 Granville St., British Columbia, V6C 1S4, Canada.

Although the interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to secure future financing, such a situation would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Several adverse conditions cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company incurred an operating loss of $2,921,699 during the period ended June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $1,969,763). The Company is currently unable to self-finance operations, has limited resources, has no source of operating cash flow, and has no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its exploration and evaluation assets.

WORLD COPPER LTD. (formerly Wealth Copper Ltd.) (An Exploration State Company) Management Discussion & Analysis For the period ended June 30, 2021

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of those exploration and evaluation assets.

The Company does not generate cash flow from operations to fund its activities and has therefore relied principally upon the issuance of securities for financing. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company's ability to execute its business plan. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of securities to finance its future activities, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company.

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these development and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Allante Resources Ltd. (“Allante”) dated June 7, 2019, whereby Allante will acquire all of the issued and outstanding World Copper common shares and continue the business of World Copper in exchange for the issuance of common shares in the capital of Allante on a one for one basis. The transaction will constitute Allante’s qualifying transaction as a Capital Pool Company, as defined by the TSX-V. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (“the agreement”), subsequently amended, with Allante for the same terms as the letter agreement dated June 7, 2019. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to settle debt in the aggregate amount of up to $320,000 to a company controlled by Joe DeVries, President of Allante by issuing up to 2,666,666 common shares immediately after closing.

Concurrent with the transaction, the Company will issue 14,675,595 common shares valued at $1,761,071 to Gold Springs to maintain its 30% pro-rata interest rights per the share exchange agreement in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of the SASC Metallurgy Corp., Escalones Copper Corp. and TriMetals Mining Chile SCM, which included a 100% interest in the Escalones property from Gold Springs Resource Corp. The Company also issued a special warrant whereby Gold Springs will be entitled to receive up to an additional 24,446,702 common shares upon the deemed exercise of the special warrant. The special warrants will be deemed to be exercised on a proportionate basis at the time the Company’s warrants are exercised.

ACQUISITION OF ALLANTE RESOURCES LTD

As described in Note 1, on January 15, 2020, World Copper (“the Company”) completed the qualifying transaction with Allante Resources Ltd. (“Allante”). As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued a total of 4,000,599 common shares to the shareholders of Allante.

The transaction constituted a reverse takeover (“RTO”) under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Although Allante will be regarded as the parent and continuing company, the Company will be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the reporting entity, to have control of the assets and operations of Allante which is deemed to have been acquired in consideration for the issuance of the Company’s shares to the former shareholders of Allante. At the time of this transaction, Allante did

  • 3 -

WORLD COPPER LTD. (formerly Wealth Copper Ltd.) (An Exploration State Company) Management Discussion & Analysis For the period ended June 30, 2021

not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3 Business Combination; therefore, the transaction is accounted for under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment, where the difference between the consideration given to acquire Allante and the net asset value of the Company is recorded as a listing expense.

(formerly TriMetals Mining Inc.) (“Gold Springs”) (Canada).

The Company has granted a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) to the underlying Escalones Property owner. Cristal Property, Chile

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with New Energy Metals Corp. (“Vendor”) whereby the Company obtained the right, title, benefit, and interest in and to an option agreement in respect of the Cristal property. As consideration for the assignment, the Company issued 50,000 common shares with a fair value of $18,500. To date, the Company has made cash payments of USD$150,000 towards the option.

The Company is required to make the remaining payments outlined below to exercise the option in full:

  • i) paying USD $50,000 upon the earlier of the commencement of drilling and December 31, 2019 (paid).

  • ii) paying USD $150,000 on or before five days after the first anniversary of closing the Allante transaction (January 15, 2022) (USD$100,000 paid).

  • iii) paying USD $500,000 on or before second anniversary of closing (January 15, 2023).

  • iv) paying USD $700,000 on or before third anniversary of closing (January 15, 2024).

  • v) paying USD $3,000,000 on or before fourth anniversary of closing (January 15, 2025).

The underlying Cristal Property owner retains a 3% NSR royalty, of which 2% can be repurchased by paying US$2,000,000 for each percentage point of the NSR royalty bought back (aggregate USD $4,000,000 for 2% NSR royalty). In addition, there is also an existing 1% NSR royalty in favour of Condor Resources Inc. that can be repurchased in its entirety upon a payment of USD $1,000,000.

The Assignment Agreement provides that if World Copper exercises the Cristal Option, then the Company and the Vendor will be deemed to have formed a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) for the continued exploration of the Cristal Project, with the initial participating interests of the Joint Venture participants being Wealth Copper Chile – 70% and the Vendor – 30%. Assuming the formation of the Joint Venture, a 2% NSR royalty will be granted to a participant in the Joint Venture if its participating interest therein falls to 10% or less (the “JV Royalty”), provided that one-half (1%) of the JV Royalty can be purchased by the other party for USD$1,000,000.

Net loss for the period

The Company had a net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 of $943,374 (2020 - $436,784). The net increase of $506,590 in the net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the acquisition of Allante on bringing the Company public, a general increase in activities from the prior period after acquiring the TMI Group which included the acquisition of the Escalones option. Items that caused the net increase are noted in the following:

In comparison to the three-month period ended June 30, 2020:

  • Consulting fees of $181,772 (2020 - $169,049) increased by $12,723 mainly due to external consulting fees as the Company became more active.

In comparison to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020:
