## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hot Chili Limited presented a corporate overview highlighting the recent discovery of a second porphyry center, La Verde South, with a significant copper-gold intercept from drill hole DKP084. The company also reiterated strong pre-feasibility study results for its Costa Fuego copper-gold project, demonstrating robust economics and strategic advantages including water assets. Ongoing drilling at La Verde aims to support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, and metallurgical testwork indicates clean concentrates.

Reasoning: The presentation highlights a new copper-gold porphyry discovery at La Verde South with a significant drill intercept, strong economic study results for the Costa Fuego project, and strategic water assets, all contributing to a positive outlook for the company. While some information is a summary of prior releases, the new discovery and ongoing drilling provide fresh positive updates.

- Positive factor: New porphyry discovery \(La Verde South\)

- Positive factor: Significant drill intercept \(DKP084\) with strong copper grades and width

- Positive factor: Strong economic study results \(PFS\) for Costa Fuego project \(NPV, IRR, low C1 cost\)

- Positive factor: Strategic water assets with positive PFS economics

- Positive factor: High Measured and Indicated \(M&amp;I\) percentage in Costa Fuego resources \(80%\)

- Positive factor: JORC and NI 43-101 compliant reporting for resources and reserves

- Positive factor: Detailed metal equivalent assumptions disclosed for both drill results and resource estimates

- Positive factor: Extensive metallurgical testwork completed with clean concentrate and low deleterious elements

- Negative factor: Some drill results are visual estimates only \(DKD100\) without assays

- Negative factor: Assays pending for a significant number of holes \(25\)

- Negative factor: PFS and MREs are from March 2025, so not brand new information in October 2026

- Negative factor: Arsenic present in concentrate, though at low levels \(44 ppm\)

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

#### Rejected tags

**Step-Out Extension** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Reason: RC drill hole DKP084 was collared ~250m south of La Verde’s +0.4% Cu mineralisation footprint and returned: 148m @ 0.44% CuEq¹ \(0.39% Cu, 0.07g/t Au\) from 36m depth

Reasoning: This new visual intercept confirms significant width of porphyry-style mineralization in a new discovery area, but the lack of assays and grade information limits its immediate materiality and confidence.

- Positive factor: Confirms new porphyry center \(La Verde South\)

- Positive factor: Significant intercept width

- Negative factor: Visual estimate only, no assays reported

- Negative factor: No grade information available

- Negative factor: No QA/QC disclosure for this specific visual estimate

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
