About
Western Copper and Gold Corporation Common Stock (WRN) is an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada. It is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and was incorporated in 2006. The company was formerly known as Western Copper Corp. and changed to its current name in October 2011. It is known for advancing a single large mineral property in northern Canada.
The company explores for gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum deposits. Its principal property is the Casino mineral property, located in Yukon, Canada. This project is the central focus of the company's activities, and its prospects are closely tied to the work carried out there.
As an exploration stage company, Western Copper and Gold concentrates on assessing and developing its mineral property rather than producing metal at this point. This work involves exploring the ground to understand what minerals it may contain and advancing the project through the stages that come before potential mining. The company carries the costs of this exploration and development phase while it works to define and progress the asset.
The combination of metals the company explores for, including gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum, reflects the mix that the Casino property is associated with. By focusing its efforts on this one principal project in Yukon, the company ties much of its outlook to exploration results and development progress at Casino. Operating from its base in Vancouver, Western Copper and Gold Corporation sits within the broader minerals exploration sector, and its future depends on advancing the property toward development and on the value of the deposits it works to confirm.
