Great Southern Copper (LSE:GSCU) has started an in-fill and extensional induced polarisation-resistivity survey at the Cerro Negro prospect within its Especularita Project in Chile, as it prepares targets for a planned Phase IV drilling campaign.
The exploration programme comprises five geophysical survey lines designed to integrate with data from previous work at Cerro Negro. Great Southern Copper said the combined data are intended to provide three-dimensional mapping of geophysical anomalies from near surface to depths exceeding 300 metres.
The survey is focused on areas around the Mostaza Fault Zone and the Monolith target, where the company is evaluating the extent of known copper-silver mineralisation.
According to Great Southern Copper, outcropping copper-silver zones at the prospect show similarities to higher-grade mineralisation previously encountered by drilling beneath the historic Mostaza mine.
The company plans to use the new survey data alongside its existing geophysical information to refine targets for Phase IV drilling and assess potential extensions to the identified mineralised system.
