Great Southern Copper plc Commences Geophysics Amt Survey At La Colorada

Great Southern Copper plc commenced an audio-frequency magneto-telluric (AMT) geophysics survey across the La Colorada lithocap prospect at its Especularita Project. Survey to cover an area of approximately 33 km2 comprising western half of the La Colorada lithocap. Targeting large-scale porphyry copper deposits at depth below the high sulphidation lithocap. Survey to be completed in two weeks with results expected within 4-6 weeks. Results to assist with target vectoring for first-pass scout drilling of the lithocap. GSC holds rights to own 100% of the Especularita Project. Project located at low elevation with excellent access to infrastructure and mining services, and is along trend of major copper deposits including Los Pelambres, Altar and El Pachon. The La Colorada lithocap comprises the cornerstone of the Company's flagship Especularita project located 100 km south of the port of Coquimbo. The Especularita project is situated at low altitude within the Cretaceous-age coastal metallogenic belt, within a northwest-southeast trending structural lineament that links the project with notable large-scale porphyry Cu-Au mines and projects, including Los Pelambres, Altar and El Pachon. GSC's Especularita project is located at low altitude within the coastal metallogenic belt of northern Chile and within 50km radius of over 50 million tonnes of contained copper metal defined in mines and advanced projects. The Company has contracted Chile-based Southernrock Geophysics S.A. to undertake an AMT survey covering an area of approximately 33 km2 and comprising the western half of the La Colorada lithocap. The survey is planned on 500 metres grid centres and is designed to identify potential large-scale porphyry copper centres hidden at depth beneath the high-sulphidation alteration blanket. The survey parameters allow for the depth of investigation to exceed 1,000m below surface, subject to the resistivity nature of the rock. Approximate AMT survey area for the La Colorada lithocap, Especularita. Field team measuring EM activity on site at La Colorada - note the highly oxidised and clay-rich lithocap rocks in the background. Audio-frequency magneto-tellurics (AMT) is a passive electromagnetic geophysical technique ideally suited for mapping deeply buried porphyry copper deposits as it effectively penetrates thick, conductive cover (such as volcanic lithocaps) to delineate the deep, localized resistive intrusions and conductive alteration halos characteristic of porphyry systems. The method measures natural electromagnetic (EM) fields on the Earth's surface generated from lighting (high frequency) and solar winds (low frequency) to map subsurface electrical resistivity. By analyzing how these waves interact with different rock types, geophysicists can interpret geological units, fault zones, and potential mineral deposits down to depths of up to a few kilometers. Porphyry copper deposits may have distinct three-dimensional electrical signatures. When integrated through 3D inversion modelling, AMT maps these contrasts at depths ranging from 100 meters to over 2 kilometers. The causative porphyry intrusions typically appear as highly resistive bodies whereas the highly mineralized potassic cores and surrounding phyllic (pyrite-rich) and argillic alteration zones form conductive anomalies due to interconnected sulfide minerals and clay alteration. Scout RC drilling is currently in progress at the Artemisa North target with 3 holes completed for 414m. The fourth hole ART26-RC008 is currently in progress at a depth of 220m. Samples for holes ART26-RC005 and RC006 have been delivered to ALS Laboratories in Santiago by GSC personnel. Once completed at Artemisa North, the scout RC drilling programme will progress to test the Artemisa South and Victoria targets. Exploration work, including mapping and sampling, is in progress at both the Cerro Negro and Viuda prospects in preparation for drilling. Metallurgical studies are also underway for Mostaza core samples from Phases I and II of the drilling at Cerro Negro.
