Key Points

Full Summary

Hot Chili Ltd has reported significant drilling results from its La Verde porphyry discovery, located 30 km south of the Costa Fuego copper-gold project in Chile. The latest Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) drilling results continue to highlight the potential of La Verde as a cornerstone asset for the Costa Fuego project. Notably, RC drill holes DKP053, DKP054, DKP056, and DKP058 have returned high-grade mineralisation from shallow depths, further expanding the footprint of near-surface higher-grade mineralisation. Assay results are pending for additional drill holes, and the company expects to release a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for La Verde later this year, followed by a revised Pre-Feasibility Study for Costa Fuego.

Guidance

Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for La Verde expected later this year
