A copy of this preliminary short form base shelf prospectus has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except the province of Québec, but has not yet become final for the purpose of the sale of securities.

The securities may not be sold until a receipt for the short form base shelf prospectus is obtained from the securities regulatory authorities.

The information contained herein is subject to completion and amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be offered or sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This short form prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state of the United States in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state of the United States.

This short form base shelf prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except the province of Québec, that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information.

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

UNITS

This short form base shelf prospectus (this “Prospectus”) relates to the offering for sale from time to time (each, an “Offering”), during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective, of the securities of Western Copper and Gold Corporation (“Western” or the “Corporation”) listed above (the “Securities”) in one or more series or issuances, with a total offering price of such Securities, in the aggregate, of up to C$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies). The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a “Prospectus Supplement”). This Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market” distribution as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

The Corporation is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system (“MJDS”) adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements. The annual financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and the interim financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein, are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements under International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). As a result, they may not be comparable to financial

statements of United States companies. Annual financial statements which will be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein in the future, or which may form part of a Prospectus Supplement in the future, will be prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and interim financial statements which will be deemed incorporated by reference herein in the future, or which may form part of a Prospectus Supplement in the future, will be prepared in accordance with IAS 34.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition and disposition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States are not described fully herein. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion contained in any applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular Offering and consult their own tax advisor with respect to their own particular circumstances. See “Certain Canadian and United States Income Tax Consequences”.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR HAS THE SEC PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

All information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains. You should read this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before you invest in any Securities. The Corporation may offer and sell Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by the Corporation. A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the Offering and will set forth the terms of the Offering, the method of distribution of such Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the distribution. Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, in connection with any Offering, other than an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters or agents may, subject to applicable law, over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. No underwriter, agent or dealer of the “at-the-market” distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, agent or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or Securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the “at-the-market” prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter, agent or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the Securities. See “Plan of Distribution”. No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

Investing in the Securities is speculative and involves certain risks. The risks outlined in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference therein should be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective investors. See “Risk Factors”.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated in Canada, most of the Corporation’s directors and officers are residents of Canada, some of the experts named in this Prospectus are not residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the Corporation’s assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Certain Civil Liabilities”.

Messrs. Michael Vitton and Raymond Threlkeld and Dr. William (Bill) Williams, each a director of the Corporation, and Daniel Roth, Michael G. Hester, John M. Marek, Laurie M. Tahija, Patrick W. Dugan, each a qualified person named in this Prospectus, reside outside of Canada. Messrs. Michael Vitton and Raymond Threlkeld and Dr. William (Bill) Williams have each appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8 for service of process. Prospective investors are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person that resides outside of Canada, even if the person has appointed an agent for service of process.

The Corporation’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the NYSE American (the “NYSE American”) under the symbol “WRN”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no existing trading market through which the warrants (the “Warrants”), the subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) or the units (the “Units”) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any of such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities on the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

The Corporation’s head office is located at Suite 907 – 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3 and its registered office is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

The Offering amount in this Prospectus is in Canadian dollars. References to “United States dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars. Canadian dollars are referred to as “Canadian dollars” or “C$”. See “Currency Presentation and Exchange Rate Information”.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus contain “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”) including the “safe harbour” provisions of provincial securities legislation, the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act, concerning the Corporation’s business plans. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, anticipated results and developments in the Corporation’s operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its mineral properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future.

Statements contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of metals; the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of any estimated future production, costs of production, and capital expenditures; project schedules; the Corporation’s proposed plan for its properties; recommended work programs; costs and timing of the development of new deposits; success of exploration and permitting activities; permitting timelines; currency fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation of mineral exploration or mining operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; limitations on insurance coverage; and the timing and possible outcome of potential litigation. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may” or “may not”, “could”, “would” or “would not”, “might” or “will be”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Such statements are included, among other places, in this Prospectus under the headings “Summary Description of Business” and “Risk Factors” and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, risks involved in fluctuations in gold, copper and other commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology, continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates, and estimated economic return; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks related to the cooperation of government agencies and First Nations in the exploration and development of the Corporation’s property and the

- 2 -

issuance of required permits; risks related to the need to obtain additional financing to develop the Corporation’s property and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; risks related to operations; risks related to the Technical Report (as defined herein) and the possibility that future exploration and development will not be consistent with the Corporation’s expectations; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus.

Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could affect it and may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements may prove to be inaccurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Corporation does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by applicable securities law.

The material factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements include prevailing and projected market prices and foreign exchange rates, exploitation and exploration estimates and results will not change in a materially adverse manner; continued availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms; availability of equipment and personnel for required operations, permitting and construction on a continual basis; the Corporation not experiencing unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, equipment failures, permitting delays, and general economic, market or business conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner and as more specifically disclosed throughout this document. Assumptions relating to the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates in respect of the Casino Project (as defined herein) are discussed in the Technical Report. Forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning mineral exploration and our general expectations concerning mineral exploration are based on estimates prepared by us using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which we believe to be reasonable.

The above list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Corporation’s forward-looking statements and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Corporation or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in this Prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors”. Readers should also carefully consider the matters discussed in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including the Annual Information Form, the Annual MD&A and the Interim MD&A, as defined below. In addition, although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual achievements, events or conditions to differ materially from those identified in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause achievements, events or conditions not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Many of the foregoing factors are beyond the Corporation’s ability to control or predict.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING MINERAL RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada as of the respective dates thereof, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators

- 3 -

that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The definitions of these terms and other mining terms, such as “inferred mineral resource”, differ from the definitions of such terms, if any, for purposes of the disclosure requirements of the SEC. Accordingly, information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus that describes the Corporation’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by issuers subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to domestic United States issuers.

Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and, accordingly, may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for a preliminary economic assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

In addition, any other report on Form 6-K and the exhibits thereto filed or furnished by the Corporation with the SEC under the Exchange Act from the date of this Prospectus may be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement, but only if and to the extent expressly so provided in any such report. The Corporation’s reports on Form 6-K and annual reports on Form 40-F are available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference contain meaningful and material information relating to the Corporation and readers should review all information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

Any statement contained in this Prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded, for the purposes of this Prospectus, to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed document which also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Prospectus. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement will not be deemed an admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded shall thereafter neither constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, a part of this Prospectus, except as so modified or superseded.

Upon new unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related MD&A being filed by the Corporation with the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the term of this Prospectus, all unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related MD&A filed prior to the filing of the new unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements shall be deemed no longer to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Securities under this Prospectus. Upon a management information circular in connection with an annual meeting being filed by us with the appropriate securities regulatory authorities

- 5 -

during the currency of this Prospectus, the management information circular filed in connection with the previous annual meeting (unless such management information circular also related to a special meeting) will be deemed no longer to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Securities under this Prospectus.

A Prospectus Supplement containing the specific terms of any Offering will be delivered to purchasers of Securities together with this Prospectus, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available, and will be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the Offering to which that Prospectus Supplement pertains.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Corporation is focused on advancing the Casino mineral property (“Casino” or the “Casino Project”) towards production. The Casino Project hosts one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in Canada. The Casino Project is primarily a copper and gold project located in the Whitehouse Mining District in west central Yukon, in the northwest trending Dawson Range mountains, 300 kilometres northwest of the territorial capital of Whitehorse. The Casino Project is located on Crown land administered by the Yukon government and within the Selkirk First Nation traditional territory.

The Corporation does not have any producing properties and consequently has no current operating income or cash flow. The Corporation is an exploration stage company and has not generated any revenues to date. Commercially viable mineral deposits may not exist on any of the Corporation’s properties.

The documents incorporated by reference herein, including the Annual Information Form, contain further details regarding the business of the Corporation. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

MINERAL PROPERTY

The Corporation’s only material mineral property is the Casino Project. More details regarding the Casino Project are detailed in the Annual Information Form and the Technical Report, both of which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation on a consolidated basis since the date of the Interim Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change, and the effect of such material change on the Corporation’s share and loan capitalization that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in any securities of the Corporation is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Corporation’s business and the present stage of development of its mineral properties. Before deciding to invest in securities of the Corporation, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. See the “Risk Factors” sections in the Annual Information Form and in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation currently expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by the Corporation hereby to fund capital expenditures and/or for other general corporate purposes. Any allocation of the net proceeds of an offering to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, including reasonable detail of the principal purposes of the proposed use of net proceeds in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.2 of Form 44-101F1, as well as the business objectives expected to be accomplished using the net proceeds of such offering and each significant event that must occur to accomplish such business objectives, including the cost thereof, in accordance with Section 4.7 of Form 44-101F1. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity and debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement.

The Corporation has incurred negative cash flow from operating activities for its financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the majority or all of the net proceeds of any offering of securities under a Prospectus Supplement will be used to fund the proposed expenditures set out above or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as well as other general working capital and administrative expenses which may cause the Corporation to continue to experience negative cash flow from its operating activities. See “Risk Factors”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation may from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus remains effective, offer for sale and issue Securities with a total offering price of such Securities, in the aggregate, of up to C$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies).

The Corporation may sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers, and also may sell securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents. Each Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the Offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of the Securities. Only those underwriters, dealers or agents named in a Prospectus Supplement will be the underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the Securities offered thereby.

The Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions as defined in Canadian National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions, including sales made directly on the TSX, the NYSE American or other existing markets for the Securities. Additionally, this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement may also cover the initial resale of the Securities purchased pursuant thereto. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with any Offering at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.

Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with such Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.

In connection with any Offering, other than an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters, dealers and agents may receive compensation from the Corporation or from purchasers of the Securities from whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Any such commissions will be paid out of the Corporation’s general funds. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be underwriters and any discounts or commissions received by them from the Corporation and any profit on the resale of Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under applicable securities legislation.

- 7 -

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Those underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.

Each class or series of Securities, other than the Common Shares, will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Subject to applicable laws, any underwriter may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. There may be limited liquidity in the trading market for any such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we do not intend to list any of the Securities other than the Common Shares on any securities exchange. Consequently, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Warrants, the Subscription Receipts or the Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

The Corporation may offer Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units comprising any combination of Common Shares, Warrants or Subscription receipts, with a total value of up to C$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) from time to time under this Prospectus, together with any applicable Prospectus Supplement, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of the Offering. This Prospectus provides you with a general description of the Securities. Each time the Corporation offers Securities, it will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of the Securities. A Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this Prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference. However, no Prospectus Supplement will offer a security that is not described in this Prospectus.

Common Shares

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value. As of November 25, 2024, the Corporation had 198,233,518 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, to attend and to cast one vote per Common Share at all such meetings. Holders of Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and, accordingly, holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all directors standing for election. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis such dividends, if any, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation at its discretion from funds legally available therefor and upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the net assets of the Corporation after payment of debts and other liabilities, in each case subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other series or class of shares ranking senior in priority to or on a pro rata basis with the holders of Common Shares with respect to dividends or liquidation. The Common Shares do not carry any pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking or purchase fund provisions.

Warrants

Warrants may be offered separately or together with other Securities, as the case may be. Each series of Warrants will be issued under a separate warrant indenture (each, a “Warrant Indenture”) to be entered into between the Corporation and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include

- 8 -

details of the terms and conditions of the Warrants being offered. The warrant agent will act solely as the Corporation’s agent and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants. The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Warrants offered under this Prospectus. The specific terms of the Warrants, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Warrants, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If applicable, the Corporation will file with the SEC as exhibits to the Registration Statement, or will incorporate by reference from a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that the Corporation files with the SEC, any Warrant Indenture before the issuance of such Warrants. In Canada, the Corporation will file on SEDAR+ a copy of any Warrant Indenture after the Corporation has entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Warrants and is not intended to be complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any Warrant Indenture and Warrants to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Warrant Indenture and the Prospectus Supplement describing such Warrant Indenture. The Corporation urges you to read the applicable Prospectus Supplement related to the particular Warrants that the Corporation sells under this Prospectus, as well as the complete Warrant Indenture.

The Prospectus Supplement and the Warrant Indenture for any Warrants the Corporation offers will describe the specific terms of the Warrants. All such terms will comply with the requirements of the TSX and the NYSE American relating to warrants. This description will include, where applicable:

Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

The Corporation reserves the right to set forth in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms of the Warrants that are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the Warrants described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms described in this Prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such Prospectus Supplement with respect to such Warrants.

Subscription Receipts

The Corporation may issue Subscription Receipts, which will entitle holders to receive upon satisfaction of certain release conditions and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, Warrants or a combination thereof. Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a “Subscription Receipt Agreement”), each to be entered into between the Corporation and an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which will establish the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial

- 9 -

institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If applicable, the Corporation will file with the SEC as exhibits to the Registration Statement, or will incorporate by reference from a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that the Corporation files with the SEC, any Subscription Receipt Agreement before the issuance of such Subscription Receipts. In Canada, the Corporation will file on SEDAR+ a copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement after the Corporation has entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Subscription Receipts and is not intended to be complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any Subscription Receipt Agreement and Subscription Receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Subscription Receipt Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement describing such Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Corporation urges you to read the applicable Prospectus Supplement related to the particular Subscription Receipts that the Corporation sells under this Prospectus, as well as the complete Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Prospectus Supplement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement for any Subscription Receipts the Corporation offers will describe the specific terms of the Subscription Receipts. All such terms will comply with the requirements of the TSX and the NYSE American relating to subscription receipts. This description will include, where applicable:

- 10 -

The holders of Subscription Receipts will not be shareholders of the Corporation. Holders of Subscription Receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, Warrants or a combination thereof on exchange of their Subscription Receipts, plus any cash payments provided for under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, if the Release Conditions are satisfied. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, the holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price therefor and all or a portion of the pro rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, as provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Corporation reserves the right to set forth in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms of the Subscription Receipts that are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the Subscription Receipts described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms described in this Prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such Prospectus Supplement with respect to such Subscription Receipts.

Units

The Corporation may issue Units comprised of one or more of the other Securities described in this Prospectus in any combination. Each Unit will be issued so that the holder of the Unit is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included Security.

The Prospectus Supplement for any Units the Corporation offers will describe the specific terms of the Units. All such terms will comply with the requirements of the TSX and the NYSE American relating to units. This description will include, where applicable:

The Corporation reserves the right to set forth in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms of the Units that are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the Units described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms described in this Prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such Prospectus Supplement with respect to such Units.

CERTAIN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include a general summary of certain Canadian federal income tax consequences which may be applicable to a purchaser of securities offered thereunder. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain United States federal income tax consequences which may be applicable to a purchaser of securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a United States person (within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code). Investors should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters in connection with the Securities offered hereby will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, with respect to Canadian legal matters, and by Dorsey & Whitney LLP, with respect to United States legal matters. At the date of this Prospectus, the designated professionals of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP as a group beneficially own less than 1% or none of the Corporation’s outstanding securities.

INTEREST OF EXPERTS

The information of a scientific or technical nature regarding the Casino Project included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is based on the Technical Report prepared by Daniel Roth, P.E., P.Eng., Michael G. Hester, FAusIMM, John M. Marek, P.E., Laurie M. Tahija, MMSA-QP, Carl Schulze, P.Geo., Daniel Friedman, P.Eng., Patrick W. Dugan, P.E., and Scott Weston, P.Geo.; each of whom is a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101. None of the persons listed have received or will receive a direct or indirect interest in any property of the Corporation or any of its associates or affiliates, or (ii) is currently expected to be elected, appointed or employed as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or of any associates or affiliates of the Corporation. To the best of the Corporation’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, as of the date hereof, the aforementioned individuals and, as applicable, their firms, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding Common Shares.

The independent registered public accounting firm of the Corporation is PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, who have prepared a report of independent registered public accounting firm dated March 28, 2024 in respect of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has advised that they are independent of the Corporation in accordance with the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia Code of Professional Conduct and the rules of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board on auditor independence.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE U.S. REGISTRATION STATEMENT

In addition to the documents specified in this Prospectus under “Documents Incorporated by Reference”, the following documents have been, or will be, filed with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement: (1) the consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; (2) the consent of each “qualified person” referred to in this Prospectus; (3) the consent of Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP; and (4) certain powers of attorney from the Corporation’s directors and officers. A copy of any underwriting agreement, warrant indenture, subscription receipt agreement or similar agreement that is required to be filed, as applicable, will be filed by post-effective amendment or by incorporation by reference to documents filed with or furnished to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

- 12 -

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Corporation is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Most of the Corporation’s directors and officers, and most of the experts named in this Prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation’s assets, are located outside the United States.

The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that, subject to certain limitations, a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws may be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. The Corporation has also been advised by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.

The Corporation has filed with the SEC, concurrently with the U.S. Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation has appointed Puglisi & Associates as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court, arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the securities under this Prospectus.

PURCHASERS’ CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Original purchasers of Warrants (if offered separately) and Subscription Receipts will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Warrants and Subscription Receipts, as the case may be. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of the Warrants or the Subscription Receipts, as the case may be, the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO

OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Western Copper and Gold Corporation (“we”, “us” or “our company”) is subject to the provisions of Part 5, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Act”).

Under Section 160 of the Act, we may, subject to Section 163 of the Act, do one or both of the following:

and including, except in the definition of “eligible proceeding” and except in Sections 163 (1) (c) and (d) and 165 of the Act, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an “eligible party”), against all eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and

“associated corporation” means a corporation or entity referred to in paragraph b) or c) of the definition of “eligible party”;

“eligible penalty” means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, and eligible proceeding.

“eligible proceeding” means a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, our company or an associated corporation (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding.

“expenses” includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.

“proceeding” includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened , pending or completed.

Under Section 161 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, we must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party (a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding.

Under Section 162 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, we may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and

reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of the proceeding, provided that we must not make such payments unless we first receive from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under Section 163 of the Act, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

Under Section 163 of the Act, we must not indemnify an eligible party against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable, or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of that proceeding under Sections 160(b), 161 or 162 of the Act if any of the following circumstances apply:

If an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of our company or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, we must not either indemnify the eligible party against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable, or pay the expenses of the eligible party under Sections 160(b), 161 or 162 of the Act in respect of the proceeding.

Under Section 164 of the Act, despite any other provision of Part 5, Division 5 of the Act and whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under Part 5, Division 5 of the Act, on application of our company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:

Section 165 of the Act provides that we may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, our company or an associated corporation.

Under our articles, and subject to the Act, we must indemnify our directors and officers, former directors and officers or alternate directors and their respective heirs and personal or other legal representatives to the greatest extent permitted by the Act. Each director and officer is deemed to have contracted with our company on the terms of the indemnity contained in Part 21 of our articles.

Under our articles, and subject to any restrictions under the Act and our articles, we may indemnify any person (including an eligible party). We have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and officers.

Pursuant to our articles, the failure of a director, alternate director or officer of our company to comply with the Act or our articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under Part 21 of our articles.

Under our articles, we may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who:

against any liability incurred by him or her as a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is therefore unenforceable.
