Global Copper Reports Interim Sulphide Mineral Resource Estimate
for Relincho Copper-Molybdenum Deposit - Significant Increase
over Previous Estimate
======================================================================

A conference call to discuss the resource estimate will be held on
December 12 at 10am (Pacific Time). Call-in information is provided at
the end of this news release.

Vancouver, British Columbia - Global Copper Corp. (the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has received an interim, independent
sulphide mineral resource estimate that has significantly increased the
size of the Relincho copper/molybdenum deposit located in Region III,
Chile. The interim estimate includes the results of 17 holes drilled
in the newly discovered higher grade copper-molybdenum zone at Las
Guias which remains open to the northeast, the south and at depth. The
final mineral resource estimate will be known when the drill
exploration program is complete.

David Strang, President and CEO said, "I am very pleased with the
results of the interim resource estimate and am even more excited about
the results we are receiving from the new higher grade copper and
molybdenum zone at Las Guias. We are aggressively exploring the zone
with four drill rigs and hope to continue to increase the size and
grade of the deposit."

The interim sulphide NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate is
as follows:

Sulphide Indicated Mineral Resources

Cut-Off Tonnes CuEq(1) Cu Mo Cu Mo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.6 104 0.80 0.58 0.038 1.32 87
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. The
“base case” cut-off limit for the sulphide resources is
0.4%CuEq.
(1) Copper equivalent is calculated for sulphide intervals using
US$1.00/lb Cu and US$6.00/lb Mo and is not adjusted for metallurgical
recoveries as these remain uncertain. The formula used is as follows:
CuEQ = Cu% + Mo% x 6.

The NI 43-101 compliant oxide mineral resource estimate has also been
updated as a result of the sulphide drill program and is shown in the
table below:

Oxide Indicated Mineral Resources

0.3 3 0.36 0.008 21 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. The "base
case" cut-off limit for the oxide resources is 0.2%Cu

These new mineral resource estimates were calculated using ordinary
kriging and are based upon a total of 92,445 meters in 378 holes and
include the previous drilling completed in the 1990's by Outokumpu
comprising 43,968 meters in 161 holes. An updated NI 43-101 technical
report detailing the sulphide and oxide mineral resource estimates will
be completed and filed within 45 days.

In 2003, AMEC completed a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate
at Relincho defining Measured and Indicated Sulphide Resources of 174
million tonnes grading 0.59% copper and 0.024% molybdenum and Inferred
Sulphide Resources of 100 million tonnes grading 0.51% copper and
0.017% molybdenum at a cutoff grade of 0.4% copper. The current
Indicated Sulphide Mineral Resources at Relincho totals 498 million
tonnes grading 0.47% copper and 0.023% molybdenum (0.61% Copper
Equivalent(1)) and Inferred Sulphide Mineral Resources of 378 million
tonnes grading 0.43% copper and 0.023% molybdenum (0.56% Copper
Equivalent(1)); both using a 0.4% Copper Equivalent(1) cut-off grade.

The Company will begin work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment in
early 2008 which should be completed by mid year.

Robert Sim, P.Geo., from Norwest Corporation and a Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101, is responsible for the mineral resource estimate.
Mr. Leo Hathaway, P.Geo., the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101
for the Relincho project, has reviewed and approved the content of this
press release.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: This news release
contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable
Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of
gold, silver, copper and molybdenum, the timing of exploration
activities, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources,
the results of drilling, estimated future capital and operating costs,
future stripping ratios, projected mineral recovery rates and Global
Copper's commitment to the Preliminary Economic Assessment, and other
plans for developing any of its projects. Generally, these
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not
expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or
"believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that
certain actions, events or results "may", "can", "could", "would",
"might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking
statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity,
performance or achievements of Global Copper to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to: risks related to the exploration and
potential development of the Company's projects, risks related to
international operations generally and operations in Chile
specifically, the actual results of current exploration activities,
conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as
plans continue to be refined, future prices of gold, silver, copper and
molybdenum, as well as those factors discussed in the sections relating
to risk factors of our business filed in Global Copper's required
securities filings on SEDAR. Although Global Copper has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
perhaps materially, from those contained in forward-looking statements,
there may be other factors that cause results to be materially
different from those anticipated, described, estimated, assessed or
intended.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S.
mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those
mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or
produce. This News Release uses the terms "Measured Mineral Resources",
"Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources". United
States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and
required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them.
Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as
a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the
mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted
at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors
are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured Mineral
Resources or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into
reserves. Further, "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can ever be
mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of the "Inferred Mineral Resources" will ever be upgraded to a
more reliable category. Therefore, United States investors are also
cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the Inferred Resources
exist, or that they can ever be mined legally or economically.
Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and
resources contained in this News Release may not be comparable to
information made public by United States companies subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statements will
prove to be accurate, 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.
Global Copper does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
