About Great Southern Copper
Great Southern Copper PLC is a UK-listed mineral exploration
company focused on the discovery of copper-gold and lithium
deposits in Chile. The Company has the option to acquire rights to
100% of two projects in the under-explored coastal belt of Chile
that are prospective for large scale copper-gold deposits. In
addition, the Company has the option to acquire rights to 100% of a
lithium project located in the Salar de Atacama district of Chile.
Chile is a globally significant mining jurisdiction being the
world's largest copper producer and the second-largest producer of
lithium.
The two, early-stage Cu-Au projects comprise the San Lorenzo and
Especularita Projects, both located in the coastal metallogenic
belt of Chile which hosts significant copper mines and deposits,
including Teck's Carmen de Andacollo copper mine, and boasts
excellent access to infrastructure such as roads, power and ports.
Significant historical small-scale and artisanal workings for both
copper and gold are readily evident in both exploration project
areas.
The Company's Monti Lithium project is strategically located in
the pre-Andean region of Salar de Atacama which is Chile's premier
lithium-producing region with well-established lithium mining
operations and infrastructure.
Great Southern Copper is strategically positioned to support the
global market for copper and lithium - both critical battery metals
in the clean energy transition around the world. The Company is
actively engaged in exploration and evaluation work programmes
targeting both large tonnage, low to medium grade Cu-Au and Li
deposits as well as high-grade Cu-Au deposits.
