Hot Chili Confirms Major Cu-Au Porphyry Discovery at La Verde
On
Drilling confirms scale & growth potential*
- Wide, shallow mineralisation – current discovery footprint extends 550 m by 400 m and remains open in all directions.
- Deeper potential remains untapped – Mineralisation commences from shallow depths, extends to more than 300m below surface, and 8 of 12 drill holes reported to date end in mineralisation at the limit of RC drilling depth capability.
- Gravel cover masking potentially much larger porphyry system – step-out drilling underway.
- Potential below the historical oxide copper open pit untested – drill testing yet to commence.
- Major discovery in its infancy – every drill hole has intersected porphyry-style, copper-gold mineralisation (refer to Table 1 for details on significant intercepts).
As at
Diamond drilling being planned, targeting potential for deeper, higher-grade zones intersected at depth and to test potential for +1km vertical depth extent, typical of other recent major porphyry discoveries, such as

Notes to Table 1: Significant intercepts for La Verde are calculated above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.2% Cu. Where appropriate, significant intersections may contain up to 30m down-hole distance of internal dilution (less than 0.2% Cu). Significant intersections are separated where internal dilution is greater than 30m down-hole distance. The selection of 0.2% Cu for significant intersection cut-off grade is aligned with marginal economic cut-off grade for bulk tonnage polymetallic copper deposits of similar grade in |

The material terms of the executed La Verde Option Agreement are as follows:
- Non-refundable cash payment of
US$320,000 to SLM Dominoceros upon grant of the La Verde Option Agreement. - Non-refundable cash payment of
US$680,000 within 12 months from the grant of the La Verde Option Agreement. - Non-refundable cash payment of
US$1,000,000 within 24 months from the grant of the La Verde Option Agreement. - Option may be exercised within 36 months of the date of grant of the La Verde Option for a final non-refundable cash payment of
US$6,890,000 .
Costa Fuego Cu-Au Pre-feasibility Study (PFS): Final Stages Underway
During the period,
Metallurgy
- Finalized metallurgical testwork using Nova Mineralis Novaminore® technology, which leverages saline water and regulated irrigation cycles for enhanced chalcopyrite recovery from heap leaching of low grade mineralisation.
- Demonstrated reduced freshwater dependency, aligning with Costa Fuego's planned seawater processing.
- Results informed predictive models for copper recovery and acid consumption, optimizing the mine schedule.
Mining
- Mine scheduling finalised using advanced software, incorporating feed from four open pits (Productora, Cortadera,
Alice , andSan Antonio ) and an underground block cave at Cortadera. - Multiple schedule iterations prioritized lower pre-start capital, faster payback, and optimized production rates.
- Initial capital and operating cost estimates were completed, with further optimization underway for inclusion in the PFS financial model.
Infrastructure
- Finalized site layout, including placement of heap/dump leach pads, waste dumps, stockpiles, mill site, tailings storage, and support buildings.
- Integrated surface water management systems, including diversion channels and dewatering infrastructure.
- Ongoing road optimization to align with the mining schedule.
Environment
- Advanced EIA preparation with additional hydrogeological and geotechnical investigations planned for 2025.
- Completed collection of 122 rock samples for acid rock drainage (ARD) and metal leaching (ML) tests to inform long-term infrastructure and mine closure planning.
- Conducted baseline environmental studies and integrated results into design decisions.
Huasco Water – Water Supply PFS: Nearing Completion
During the quarter,
- Evaluation of marine works and the conveyance system to Costa Fuego and other potential third-party off-takers
- Completion of trade-off studies, including desalination plant (technology, location, and sizing), and pipeline configuration (routing and location of pumping stations) for potential third party off-takers. Note that Costa Fuego does not require desalinated water for processing.
- Optimisation of capital cost estimates for the initial stage of seawater supply to Costa Fuego
- Options for third party water supply, including desalinated water, continue to advance
Huasco Water controls the only active granted maritime water concession and most of the necessary permits to provide non-continental water supply to the

Metallurgical recovery averages for each deposit consider Indicated + Inferred material and are weighted to combine sulphide flotation and oxide leaching performance. Process recoveries: |
|
Cortadera – Weighted recoveries of 82% Cu, 55% Au, 81% Mo and 36% Ag. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.55 x Au(g/t) + 0.00046 x Mo(ppm) + 0.0043 x Ag(g/t) |

Productora – Weighted recoveries of 84% Cu, 47% Au, 48% Mo and 18% Ag. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.46 x Au(g/t) + 0.00026 x Mo(ppm) + 0.0021 x Ag(g/t) |

Costa Fuego – Recoveries of 83% Cu, 53% Au, 71% Mo and 26% Ag. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.53 x Au(g/t) + 0.00040 x Mo(ppm) + 0.0030 x Ag(g/t) |

Copper Equivalent (CuEq) grades are calculated based on the formula: CuEq% = ((Cu% × Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu_recovery) + (Mo ppm × Mo price per g/t × Mo_recovery) + (Au ppm × Au price per g/t × Au_recovery) + (Ag ppm × Ag price per g/t × Ag_recovery)) / (Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu recovery).

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. These Mineral Resource estimates include Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as Mineral Reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. |
