Western Copper and Gold Corporation announced on June 16, 2025, an extension and revision of its Investor Rights Agreement (IRA) with Rio Tinto Canada Inc. Under the revised agreement, Rio Tinto will maintain a seat on the Casino Technical and Sustainability Committee (TSC).
This continued presence on the TSC, which also includes representatives from Mitsubishi Materials and Western Copper and Gold, ensures ongoing technical collaboration for the Casino Project. Rio Tinto's existing standstill and trading restrictions, along with certain other obligations, will remain in effect.
The revised IRA will expire on the earlier of November 30, 2026, or when Rio Tinto's ownership falls below 5%. The previous board observer right and potential board seat rights have been extinguished, reflecting a refinement of the partnership's scope.
