Great Southern Copper plc, the company focused on copper-gold-lithium exploration in Chile, has announced that its planned scout RC drilling programme has commenced at the Viuda prospect targeting porphyry style mineralisation.
Highlights
Scout RC drilling commences at Viuda prospect targeting porphyry style mineralisation.
Programme plans for up to 8 – 10 drill holes totalling up to 800 – 1500 m.
Drilling will test geochemistry, geology, and geophysics targets.
Initial hole, VIU24_RC001, confirms porphyry style alteration system from surface.
Purchase Option Agreement allows for 100% ownership of Viuda.
Viuda prospect is ideally located within easy access of roads, power and port infrastructure.
Sam Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of Great Southern Copper, said: “We are very pleased to have commenced our scout RC drilling programme at Viuda. Many months of hard work in preparing the permitting and authorisations required for drilling are complete and we now look forward to the results of this programme supporting our exploration efforts in the field.
The scout drill programme is designed to test our porphyry model for Viuda targeting both surface geochemistry, geology and magnetic anomalies identified from work completed by GSC earlier in the year. Already the first hole in this programme has been successful, confirming a large-scale porphyry type alteration system at Viuda with massive pyrite-albite-clay alteration identified from surface.
In addition, the permitting and approvals for drilling of our Cerro Negro prospect are anticipated to be completed within the week concluding a very busy and successful year for our team in
