CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

Dale Corman, Western's Executive Chairman, provides a brief company update and commentary on commodities and the flurry of activity in the Yukon in his Letter to Shareholders, which is available at www.westerncopperandgold.com/events/agm-2017.

"At the beginning of 2016 gold prices soared off of 2015 lows and Western's share price responded well. While there are a lot of analysts that are bullish on the direction of gold in 2017, it is the expected rise in copper prices that will provide the next major move in copper equities which includes Western Copper and Gold. Years of underinvestment in mine development; production decreases at some of the world's largest mines; renewed resource nationalization; and the imposition of export or mining bans are negatively impacting supply. Concurrently, demand continues to increase due to growth in developing countries, improved economic reports out of China and the US, as well as a worldwide push for "green" technologies. All these factors are leading to investors beginning to pay attention to the large looming copper supply gap. As evidence, late in 2016 we saw a quick rebound in copper prices as they rallied over $0.50 through $2.50 per pound; a first step in what we believe will be a sustained positive price movement throughout the remainder of 2017.

There is no hotter exploration jurisdiction than the Yukon right now. In May 2016, Goldcorp acquired Kaminak's Coffee Project, which is adjacent to the Casino deposit. Goldcorp's acquisition has spurred a number of majors to take positions in the area, with over half a dozen transactions by major companies in the surrounding territory since then."

Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual results, performance or achievements of Western and its subsidiaries may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. 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; risks related to joint venture operations; risks related to cooperation of government agencies and First Nations in the development of the property and the issuance of required permits; risks related to the need to obtain additional financing to develop the property and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Western's AIF and Form 40-F, and other information released by Western and filed with the applicable regulatory agencies.

Western's forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and Western does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable securities legislation.
