Market Dynamics
Industry Overview

Positioning

Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The total addressable market for copper and gold is substantial, valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Western Copper and Gold is positioned to capture a portion of this market through the Casino project, but it faces competition from larger, established mining companies. The long-term copper market is projected to be substantial due to electrification and energy transition.
