## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hot Chili Limited announced significant drill results from its La Verde copper-gold discovery in Chile, confirming a major 200m down-dip extension to the high-grade core of the deposit. Hole DKD039 returned the widest intercept to date at 725 m grading 0.42% CuEq from 18 m depth, including a standout 62 m at 1.03% CuEq. The company is accelerating drilling with multiple rigs to define a potential higher-grade starter pit and expand the resource base.

Reasoning: New drill results from the La Verde project confirm a major high-grade extension and continuity, including the widest intercept to date \(725 m @ 0.42% CuEq\), and identify a potential higher-grade starter pit. The results are supported by detailed metal equivalent assumptions and QP/CP sign-off.

- Positive factor: High-grade extension

- Positive factor: Wide intercepts

- Positive factor: Potential for higher-grade starter pit

- Positive factor: Multiple drill rigs accelerating operations

- Positive factor: QP/CP sign-off

Facts used in scoring: 107

## Classification and evidence

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The technical information has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Christian Easterday, MAIG, Hot Chili's Managing Director, who is a qualified person under NI 43-101 and a Competent Person under JORC.

Evidence · text

> The technical information in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Christian Easterday, MAIG, Hot Chili's Managing Director and a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects . Competent Person – JORC The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets for the La Verde project is based upon information compiled by Mr Christian Easterday, the Managing Director and a full-time employee of Hot Chili Limited, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists \(AIG\).

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: Significant intercepts are reported above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu, which is clearly stated.

Evidence · text

> Significant intercepts for La Verde are reported above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu.

**Metal Equivalent Assumptions Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The document provides the full formula, metal prices, and recoveries used for the Copper Equivalent \(CuEq\) calculation.

Evidence · text

> Copper Equivalent \(CuEq\) reported for the drillhole intersections were calculated using the following formula: CuEq% = \(\(Cu% × Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\) + \(Mo ppm × Mo price per g/t × Mo\_recovery\) + \(Au ppm × Au price per g/t × Au\_recovery\) + \(Ag ppm × Ag price per g/t × Ag\_recovery\)\) / \(Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\). The Metal Prices applied in the calculation were: Cu=4.50 USD/lb, Au=3,150 USD/oz, Mo=20 USD/lb, and Ag=30 USD/oz. The entirety of the intersection is assumed as fresh. The recovery and copper equivalent formula for La Verde uses Cortadera as a proxy, which is considered reasonable given both the similar mineralisation style and amenability testwork completed thus far at La Verde – Recoveries of 83% Cu, 56% Au, 83% Mo and 37% Ag. CuEq \(%\) = Cu\(%\) + 0.69 x Au\(g/t\) + 0.00044 x Mo\(ppm\) + 0.0043 x Ag\(g/t\).

**Porphyry Deposit**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The project is explicitly described as a 'Cu-Au porphyry discovery'.

Evidence · text

> La Verde Cu-Au porphyry discovery

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole DKD039 confirmed a major 200 m down-dip extension to the high-grade core, and drill tail extensions DKP009D and DKP012D expanded the mineralization footprint.

Evidence · text

> confirmed a major 200 m down-dip extension to the high-grade core of the deposit

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: Drill holes DKD037 and DKD038 are explicitly stated as 'Infill Diamond Drill holes' designed to confirm continuity.

Evidence · text

> Infill Diamond Drill holes DKD037 and DKD038 – Confirm Continuity

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 20 m @ 1.51% CuEq \(1.30% Cu, 0.29 g/t Au\) in DKD039 is exceptionally high-grade for a porphyry deposit.

## 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.
