Sam Garrett, CEO of Great Southern Copper PLC (LSE:GSCU), presented at the Proactive One2One Investor Conference, outlining the company’s aspirations to become a leading copper and gold miner in Chile.
Garrett highlighted a significant outcrop known as the Especularita Lithocap, which sits above a Porphyry copper deposit, indicating potential mineralization beneath. A key advantage for Great Southern Copper is its exploration location at 1000 meters above sea level, compared to competitors operating at higher, costlier elevations. The company’s focus is in the coastal metallogenic belt, rich in existing copper and gold mines.
Chile’s prominence as the largest copper producer and exporter, and its significant lithium reserves, makes it an attractive location for exploration. Garrett emphasised the company’s three projects in Chile, with potential for 100% ownership.
The company’s strategy revolves around location, commdity optionality, scale, and ownership structure. Garrett also touched on the importance of partnerships and funding for their projects.
