HIGHLIGHTS

  • Metallum and Pays Plat First Nation ("PPFN") have signed a Negotiation Agreement (the "Agreement") to advance the development of the Superior Lake Zinc Project

  • This Agreement outlines the negotiating terms for the Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA") which is the final agreement required before mine development commences

  • The Company and PPFN aim to finalize the IBA during 2H2022

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – June 14, 2022 - Metallum Resources Inc. (TSXV:MZN) ("Metallum" or the "Company") and Pays Plat First Nation ("PPFN") are proud to announce the signing of a Negotiation Agreement (the "Agreement") for the Superior Lake Zinc Project ("Project") in Ontario, Canada .

PPFN is the primary First Nation Group where the Project is located. The signing of this Agreement with PPFN is a major milestone, as it progresses regulatory approval for early-stage development works, and more importantly, outlines the timeline and key terms for the Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA").  Both the Company and PPFN aim to have an IBA agreed and signed later this year. The IBA is a formal, written agreement that helps to manage the predicted impacts associated with an industrial development occurring on traditional lands and to secure economic benefits for neighbouring aboriginal communities affected by that development.

In addition, both the Company and PPNF jointly met with The Honourable Patty Hadju, Minister of Indigenous Services of Canada and Member of the Parliament for Thunder Bay North (the Project's jurisdiction), to discuss the Project development, indigenous involvement, and current Permitting Process.  The Company will continue to keep the market updated as these discussions progress.

World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE: 7LY0)  ("World Copper" or the "Company") provides an update on its Zonia copper-oxide project in Arizona, USA ("Zonia" or the Zonia Project").

A review of historical data by World Copper's newly formed Technical Advisory Committee has revealed the potential for re-processing mineralized material that was included in the historical mine plan at the Zonia Project.

Two historical reports, a 1979 mine production summary report by McAlester Fuel Company ("McAlester") and a 1982 resource evaluation report by Mountain States Research & Development ("MSRD"), indicate that the site hosts over 14 million tons of historically mined material available for re-processing:
