("GSC" or the "Company")
Interim Results
Great Southern Copper plc (LSE: GSCU), the Company focused on copper-gold-silver exploration in Chile,
announces its results for the six months ended 30 September 2025 ("the Period").
HIGHLIGHTS
Especularita Project
Cerro Negro
· Assay results released at the start of the Period for the Company's maiden Phase I drilling programme at
the Mostaza mine demonstrate the high-grade nature of the Mostaza system, with highest reported assay
grades of 16.15% copper ("Cu") and 646 grammes per tonne ("g/t") silver ("Ag"), with four samples
reporting copper assay grades over 8.0% Cu. Other standout intercepts included 33 metres ("m") at 1.96%
Cu and 60.6 g/t Ag and 9.67% Cu & 175 g/t Ag from 116.4m.
· In conjunction with the drilling, ground exploration work extended the potential mineralised strike of the
Mostaza mineralised system by a further two kilometres ("km") south of the historic Mostaza mine defining
the "Mostaza Fault Zone", with new breccia-hosted mineralisation, altered volcanic units and additional
artisanal workings identified.
· Geophysical surveys were conducted across the Mostaza Fault Zone, targeting deeper extensions of the
high-grade lenses and defining priority drill targets. These surveys were undertaken to assist in targeting
Phase III exploration drilling at Cerro Negro up to two kilometres south of the Mostaza mine ("Mostaza")
where Phase I drilling intersected significant Cu-Ag mineralisation.
o The survey identified an IP anomaly consistent with the high-grade sulphide mineralisation drilled
beneath the Mostaza mine, confirming the potential for sulphide mineralisation along trend south
of the mine.
· Phase II diamond drilling delivered further encouraging results across the full programme, including
intercepts of 13.9m at 1.74% Cu and 153 g/t Ag, 5m at 3.04% Cu and 322.4 g/t Ag with highest assay
grades up to 10.4% Cu and 672g/t Ag. The campaign confirmed manto-style mineralisation beneath
leached outcropping lenses, extended Lens 2 along strike and at depth, defined multiple new drill targets
for Phase III in combination with geophysics, and confirmed a new mineralised lens ("Lens 1") north of the
main Lens 2 body.
· Phase III diamond drilling commenced with the first rig arriving at site in August. This programme is
designed to extend the high-grade copper-silver mineralisation intersected in Phases I and II, test beneath
shallow leached zones where drilling ended in strong silver grades, and then to step out along the
Mostaza Fault trend to drill priority geochemical and geophysical targets to the south.
· Post-period on 14 October, results of the Company's channel rock chip sampling programme at the
Monolith Cu-Ag prospect ("Monolith") identified a new 50m-wide zone of Ag-Cu mineralisation, with assays
grades up to 271 g/t Ag and 2.05% Cu.
· Post-period on 14 October, the Company reported that a second diamond drill rig had arrived on site to
advance Mostaza Phase III drill programme, targeting extensions and in-fill to the Lens 2 mineralisation.
· Post-period on 11 November, the Company announced it had mobilised a third drill rig to commence scout
reverse circulation ("RC") drilling. This drilling programme comprises up to 2,000m of RC drilling and is
designed to test the Mostaza Fault Zone and newly identified oxide copper mineralisation in the hanging
wall volcanics, where recent rock chip samples returned grades up to 2.56% Cu and 293 g/t Ag.
Viuda Negra
· Results of an initial seven-hole scout RC drilling campaign at Viuda were announced at the start of the
Period, which confirmed a broad-scale porphyry type alteration system with zoned geochemistry and trace
element trends consistent with porphyry type deposits, inclusing notable assay results of 12m at 1.5 g/t
gold ("Au") and 0.47% Cu.
· Scout diamond drilling at Viuda Negra commenced during the period with four drill holes completed for a
total of 553 m. Drilling targeted surface alteration and Ag-Au rock geochemistry anomalies with all holes
intersecting broad zones of quartz-magnetite banded veining and breccia hosted mineralisation in feldspar
porphyry.
· Assay results from the diamond drilling programme confirmed the discovery of a porphyry gold mineralised
system with broad mineralised intervals, including 121.5m at 0.11 g/t Au and 0.05% Cu. This system is
measured at 1.2km by 0.8 km and is open, with planning underway for further exploration.
Corporate
· Post-period on 20 November, the Company successfully raised £2.5 million through a private placing with
existing and new investors. This funding will be used to finance its ongoing exploration programmes at the
Especularita Project in Chile.
Sam Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of Great Southern Copper, said: "This has been another strong Period
for Great Southern Copper, with our exploration programmes delivering excellent progress and results across the
Especularita Project. The continued success at Cerro Negro, where high-grade copper and silver mineralisation
has now been intersected over an expanding footprint, reinforces our confidence in the potential scale of this
system.
"We are also encouraged by the confirmation of a new porphyry gold system at Viuda Negra, which adds
meaningful depth to our exploration portfolio and highlights the broader potential of Especularita to host multiple
mineralised centres.
"With Phase III drilling now underway at Cerro Negro, supported by an expanded multi-rig programme and our
financial position strengthened following the recent fundraise, we are well positioned for the next stage of work
across our key targets. We look forward to maintaining the momentum of this Period as we work to unlock the full
potential of our assets."

Notes for Editors:
About Great Southern Copper
Great Southern Copper PLC is a UK-listed mineral exploration company focused on the discovery of copper-gold-
silver deposits in Chile. The Company has the option to acquire mining rights to 100% of Especularita project in
the under-explored coastal belt of Chile that is prospective for large scale copper-gold-silver deposits. Chile is a
globally significant mining jurisdiction being the world's largest producer and exporter of copper.
The Especularita Project is 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 the exploration project area. The coastal belt offers deposit type optionality for copper
including porphyry and IOCG style deposits as well as newly recognised intrusive-related copper and gold
deposits.
Great Southern Copper is strategically positioned to support the global market for copper - a critical battery metal
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 as well as high-grade Cu-Ag-Au
deposits. Further information on the Company is available on the Company's website: https://gscplc.com
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
During the six months to 30 September 2025, Great Southern Copper continued to make substantial progress
across its Especularita Project, with multiple exploration campaigns delivering highly encouraging results and
further expanding the scale and potential of the Company's copper, silver and gold assets. The Period saw
significant advances at both the Cerro Negro and Viuda Negra prospects, and post period-end the Company
strengthened its financial position through a successful £2.5 million fundraise to support ongoing and expanded
drilling programmes.
Especularita Project
Exploration at the Especularita project advanced considerably during the Period, with work at Cerro Negro and the
Viuda Negra prospect areas continuing to validate the Company's confidence in the emerging district-scale
opportunity within this highly prospective project.
Cerro Negro Prospect
At Cerro Negro, the Company completed its Phase II drilling programme, which delivered consistently high-grade
results across the full campaign. Over the course of Phase I and II of the drilling campaign, 25 holes were
completed with all holes intersecting the target mineralisation zone. The Phase II drilling confirmed manto-style
copper-silver mineralisation and extended the high-grade footprint around the Mostaza Mine. Importantly, further
high-grade intercepts were returned throughout the programme, and the integration of drilling with the geophysical
surveys completed during the Period helped identify several new high-priority targets for follow-up. The Phase II
programme also confirmed the presence of a second mineralised lens (Lens 1), located north of the main Lens 2
body, demonstrating that the system remains open in multiple directions.
During the Period, the Company also completed 5 lines of pole-dipole IP (PDIP) and audio magneto-telluric (AMT)
geophysical surveys along a 2.5km strike length of the Mostaza Fault Zone at Cerro Negro. These surveys
successfully identified strong chargeability and resistivity anomalies consistent with potential extensions of the
mineralised lenses and provided valuable input into drill planning.
With the results from previous drilling campaigns and geophysical surveys, GSC commenced its Phase III
diamond drilling programme late in the Period. The initial focus is on extending the high-grade lenses defined in
Phases I and II, testing deeper sulphide targets beneath leached zones, and evaluating step-out targets along the
broader Mostaza Fault Zone.
Post-period end, the Company expanded its drilling capacity at Cerro Negro with the addition of a second diamond
drill rig and a dedicated RC rig to accelerate testing of new regional targets identified along the southern extension
of the Mostaza Fault Trend and in adjacent volcanic units. Mapping and sampling work also identified a new area
of interest at the Monolith prospect, where a broad zone of silver-copper mineralisation was confirmed through a
channel rock chip sampling programme.
Viuda Negra Prospect
At Viuda Negra, the Company achieved significant milestones during the Period. Scout RC drilling at Viuda
confirmed the presence of a porphyry-type gold-copper alteration system, supported by encouraging gold-copper
intervals and zoned alteration patterns consistent with porphyry-type deposits. Following this, the Company
commenced and completed a scout diamond drilling programme at Viuda Negra. All holes intersected strong
veining and breccia-style alteration.
Assay results for scout diamond drilling at Viuda Negra were received in September and confirmed the discovery
of a porphyry gold system extending over approximately 1.2km by 0.8km. Interestingly, this porphyry appears to
share characteristics of porphyry gold deposits in Chile's Maricunga Belt, which have not previously been
recognised in the coastal belt of Chile. Broad intervals of low-grade gold and copper mineralisation were
intersected, providing strong exploration vectors suggesting that higher-grade parts of the system may potentially
lie to the south and southeast. These results significantly enhance the strategic value of the wider Especularita
Project and provide an additional major target for follow-up drilling.
Corporate
During the Period, the Company continued to exercise prudent financial management while advancing its
exploration programmes. Post period-end, the Company successfully raised £2.5 million through an equity placing,
attracting strong support from both new and existing investors. The funds raised will allow GSC to accelerate
drilling at Cerro Negro, advance follow-up exploration at Viuda Negra, and test several newly identified regional
targets across the Especularita Project.
There were no changes to the Board during the Period, and the Company continues to adhere to strong
governance and risk management practices.
Risks and uncertainties
The Directors do not consider that the Company's principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the
publication of its annual report and accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 on 17 July 2025, which
contains a detailed explanation of the risks relevant to the Company and is available at:
https://gscplc.com/investors/documents-and-reports
Outlook
The Board is very encouraged by the progress achieved over the Period. The Company has significantly advanced
both the high-grade copper-silver discoveries at Cerro Negro and the emerging porphyry gold system at Viuda
Negra, while also identifying several promising new prospects for further evaluation. With three drill rigs now
actively undertaking Phase III drilling at Cerro Negro, a strengthened financial position, and a robust pipeline of
targets across Especularita, the Company is well positioned to continue its exploration momentum.
The long-term fundamentals for copper, silver and gold remain strong, underpinned by global electrification trends,
sustained demand for critical minerals and record precious metal prices. The Company's portfolio in Chile provides
a highly strategic platform to benefit from these trends, and the Board looks to the next Period with utmost
confidence.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Great Southern Copper plc ('the Company') and its subsidiary's (together 'the Group') principal activity is currently
focused upon the exploration for copper, gold and silver in Chile. Further detail is covered in the Interim
Management Report.
The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and incorporated and
domiciled in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is 6th Floor, 99 Gresham Street, London,
EC2V 7NG.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 30
September 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ('IAS') IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting'. as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and as adopted
for use in the United Kingdom ('UK'), the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under
International Financial Reporting Standards and applicable UK law.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained in this document do not constitute statutory
accounts. In the opinion of the Directors, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for this period
fairly present the financial position, result of operations and cash flows for this period. The statutory accounts for
the year ended 31 March 2025 were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting
Standards ('IFRS') and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those
accounts was unqualified, but did draw attention to a material uncertainty with regard to going concern that was
in existence at the time of the approval of those accounts. It did not contain a statement under Sections 498(2) or
498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Tax charged within the six months ended 30 September 2025 has been calculated by applying the effective rate
of tax which is expected to apply to the Group for the year ending 31 March 2025 as required by IAS 34 'Interim
Financial Reporting'.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The financial statements are prepared
in Sterling, which is the functional currency and presentational currency of the parent Company. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £000 unless otherwise stated.
The Board of Directors approved this Interim Financial Report on 7 December 2025.
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2025 have not been
audited or reviewed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 issued by
the Auditing Practices Board. The figures were prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices
consistent with those adopted in the statutory annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
There have been no new accounting policies adopted since 31 March 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires directors to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these judgements and
estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by
management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the
same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
GOING CONCERN
As at 30 September 2025, the Group's cash at bank, and cash equivalents, amounted to £0.3m; at the date of
approving these condensed financial statements, the balance amounted to £2.6m.
In common with many other mineral exploration companies, the Group has previously raised equity and debt
finance for its exploration activities. The Board recognises that further finance will need to be raised as and when
required to progress its exploration projects and add shareholder value. The Board also acknowledges that
previous success in raising funds does not necessarily provide any guarantee that the Group will be able to do so
in the future.
The Board has reviewed the Group's cash flow forecast up to 31 December 2026, taking into account its current
resources, recent fund raise and its operational objectives. The Board is satisfied that the cash reserves are
sufficient to finance budgeted overheads and to advance ongoing exploration activities. The Board continues to
closely monitor its cash position, allocate funds in line with its detailed budget and maintain a strict control over
non-project spend. The Directors remain confident in the Company's ability to raise additional funds as required,
from existing and/or new investors and therefore consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Board continually assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect the
Group's medium-term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from
those set out in the Group's 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available from the
Group's website: www.gscplc.com
The key financial risks are market risk (including currency risk), credit risk and liquidity.
3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board. The Board is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of operating segments.
The Group has two reportable segments, exploration and corporate, which are the Group's strategic divisions.
For each of the strategic divisions the Board reviews internal management reports on a regular basis.
The Group's reportable segments are:
Exploration: the exploration segment is presented as an aggregate of all Chile licences held. Expenditure on
exploration activities for each licence is used to measure agreed upon expenditure targets for each licence to
ensure the licence clauses are met.
Corporate: the corporate segment includes the holding company costs in respect of managing the group.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to ordinary
equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the parent
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year, adjusted for the
effects of potentially dilutive options. The dilutive effect is calculated on the full exercise of all potentially
dilutive ordinary share options granted by the Group, including performance-based options which the Group
considers to have been earned.
The calculations of earnings per share are based upon the following:
