Great Southern Copper PLC (LSE:GSCU) has initiated its scout diamond drilling program at the Viuda Negra prospect in Chile. The company is targeting epithermal-porphyry style mineralization with a focus on gold, silver, and copper. The initial drilling phase includes up to four scout holes aimed at exploring outcropping porphyry-epithermal alteration, with promising assay results further supporting the potential of the Especularita project. This marks a strategic move in a region with record gold and silver prices, strengthening Great Southern Copper’s positioning in the mining sector.
Despite challenges in its financial performance, including no revenue and negative cash flows, Great Southern Copper benefits from strong equity and positive corporate events such as successful drilling and fundraising efforts. Technical trends show favorable momentum, although its valuation remains uncertain due to a lack of earnings data.
