[World Copper](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00022tu/world-copper) is a pre-revenue Canadian junior copper exploration and development company based in Vancouver. New Buggy is an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold exploration project covering approximately 5,800 hectares in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile.\n\n## World Copper's New Buggy Purchase Terms\n\nThe company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the mining concessions, mineral concession applications and associated mining tenure and rights from arm's length vendors Copperlink Chile SpA and Marco A. Castillo Romero under a property purchase agreement dated October 28, 2026, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). New Buggy sits in the commune of María Elena, Province of Tocopilla, within the Paleocene metallogenic belt. Historical exploration includes ten reverse-circulation drill holes, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys. Evaluation of that data supports the interpretation of two potential porphyry centres, the New and Buggy targets, and an approximately three-kilometre interval of calcareous sedimentary rocks between them, known as the ATC target, has been identified as prospective for carbonate-replacement mineralization.\n\nCesar Lopez became Chief Executive Officer, President and a director following the transaction. \"Mr. Lopez is a mining executive, entrepreneur and lawyer with extensive experience founding and leading mineral exploration and mining companies,\" the company said. Mark Lotz resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer.\n\n## World Copper's Placement and Debt Settlement\n\nThe company closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement, issuing 10,700,000 units at $0.05 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $535,000. Each unit consists of one share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.05 per share for 36 months from issuance. World Copper also settled $358,552 owed to certain creditors, including current directors and an entity controlled by a director, by issuing 7,171,040 units at $0.05 per settlement unit. The company said it completed the debt settlements to help preserve cash for working capital.\n\n## World Copper's Chilean Spin-Out History\n\nWorld Copper entered an arrangement agreement in May 2026 to spin out its Chilean subsidiaries and certain assets to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Spinco, in exchange for Spinco shares, Newsfile reported. Shareholders approved the arrangement and consolidation resolutions on June 18, 2026 by margins of 94.70% and 92.77% respectively, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia granted a final order on June 22, 2026.\n\n## World Copper's Second Tranche Timing\n\nWorld Copper expects to close a second tranche of the offering by the end of November for gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million, for total gross proceeds of $2 million.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
