History and Background
Western Copper and Gold Corp. was founded to explore and develop copper and gold deposits, primarily in the Yukon Territory, Canada. It has focused on advancing its flagship Casino project, a large copper-gold porphyry deposit, through various stages of exploration, resource definition, and project development.
Core Business Areas
- Mineral Exploration: Focuses on identifying and assessing potential mineral deposits, particularly copper and gold, through geological surveys, drilling, and sampling programs.

Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Casino Project (Copper-Gold Deposit): The Casino project is Western Copper and Gold's flagship asset. It represents a potentially significant copper-gold porphyry deposit in the Yukon. Market share is currently not applicable as it is not in production, but rather in the development and exploration phase. Competitors in this space are other mining companies exploring and developing similar porphyry deposits, which are very numerous throughout the world.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The mining industry is characterized by fluctuating commodity prices, long project development timelines, significant capital requirements, and increasing regulatory scrutiny. Demand for copper and gold is influenced by global economic growth, industrial activity, and investment demand.
Positioning
Western Copper and Gold is positioned as a developer of a large-scale copper-gold project in a stable jurisdiction. Its competitive advantage lies in the size and potential of the Casino deposit and its location in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM for copper and gold is vast and dependent on global demand and pricing. Western Copper and Gold aims to capture a portion of this market by developing the Casino project into a producing mine.

Recent Initiatives: Recent initiatives include advancing the Casino project through feasibility studies, engaging with stakeholders, and securing permits.
Summary
