Global Copper intercepts 356 meters grading 1.08% Copper
Equivalent in step-out drilling at Relincho
======================================================================

Vancouver, British Columbia -- Global Copper Corp. ("Global") is
pleased to announce results from a further eight holes in the sulphide
drilling program at its Relincho copper-molybdenum project in Chile.
Results are highlighted by step-out holes RG06-215 that returned 356
meters grading 0.75% copper and 0.056% molybdenum (1.08% copper
equivalent**) and RG06-214 which intersected 456 meters grading 0.69%
copper and 0.051% molybdenum (0.99% copper equivalent**).

Seven of the holes were drilled in the Las Guias zone and one at the
Relincho zone. The Las Guias holes were designed to expand copper and
molybdenum mineralization to the northwest, east, south and southeast.
Higher grade intercepts relate to a contact zone that occurs as an
irregular envelope around the Relincho porphyry at Las Guias. The
Relincho porphyry which outcrops at the Relincho zone, has been
intercepted at depth at Las Guias and is interpreted to occur below the
base of the current drilling at the Marja zone. Mineralization in the
higher grade contact zone occurs mainly as breccias and stockworks that
gradually transitions to veinlets and disseminations as mineralization
moves further away from the porphyry. The higher grade contact zone
remains open to the south, east and at depth.

The assay results from the eight new holes are shown in the table
below. A map is provided to show the location of the drill holes.

To date, 83 holes totaling 49,800 meters have been completed in the
sulphide drill program. Four diamond drill rigs are now operating on
the property with a fifth rig being mobilized to the project in March.
The drill program is focused on expanding the current mineral resource,
in particular, the higher grade contact zone at Las Guias. The program
is forecast to continue for the remainder of 2008 and will include both
exploration and infill drilling.

The 43-101 technical report, detailing the current oxide and sulphide
mineral resource estimates, can be viewed on both the Global website at
www.globalcoppercorp.com and SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Instrument 43-101 for the Relincho Project and has reviewed and
approved the contents of this news release. The quality
assurance/quality control program is monitored by independent
consultant Dr. Bruce M. Davis, Chief Geostatistician for Norwest

completed at Global's secure facility located at the project. The
drill cores are mechanically split on site and samples securely
transported to the ACME's facilities in Santiago, Chile for sample
preparation and analysis. Total copper content is determined by
three-acid digestion with atomic absorption finish. Global inserts
standards, blanks and duplicates selected on a random basis into the
sample stream and sends 5% of the sample pulps to check laboratories in
Santiago, Chile.

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 materially from those contained in forward-looking
