## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hot Chili Limited has announced further strong drill results from its La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile, with significant shallow intercepts including 220m at 0.47% CuEq and 150m at 0.52% CuEq. These results continue to expand the high-grade core of the deposit and are expected to positively impact the project's Pre-Feasibility Study. Initial metallurgical testwork for La Verde indicates similar recoveries to the Costa Fuego project, with assay results pending for additional drillholes.

Reasoning: Hot Chili Limited continues to report strong, shallow, high-grade copper-gold drill results from its La Verde porphyry discovery, expanding the known mineralization and indicating potential for a high-grade starter pit that could significantly improve project economics. The results are well-supported by transparent reporting standards.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper-gold intercepts continue to be reported from shallow depths, indicating potential for a high-grade starter pit.

- Positive factor: Drilling is expanding the high-grade core of the La Verde porphyry discovery both laterally and at depth.

- Positive factor: The results are expected to positively impact the project's Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) by reducing payback time.

- Positive factor: The announcement includes clear disclosure of metal equivalent assumptions, cut-off grades, and internal dilution rules.

- Positive factor: The technical information is reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(NI 43-101\) and Competent Person \(JORC\).

- Negative factor: Visual estimates of mineral abundance for hole DKD039 are reported without assay results, which are explicitly stated as not being a substitute for laboratory analyses.

- Negative factor: No true width is reported for the drill intercepts, which are described as apparent widths.

Facts used in scoring: 96

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling results are described as 'significantly expanding La Verde's high-grade core at depth' and 'expanded La Verdes' +0.4% Cu mineralised footprint laterally toward the east'.

Evidence · text

> significantly expanding La Verde's high-grade core at depth

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The announcement states that assay results will be reported in accordance with the JORC Code \(2012\) and National Instrument 43-101, and a Qualified Person/Competent Person has reviewed and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> Assay results are pending and will be reported in accordance with the JORC Code \(2012\) and National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Sampling methodologies are described in the attached JORC Table 1.

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The notes to Table 1 explicitly state the cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu and internal dilution rules \(up to 30m down-hole distance of internal dilution\).

Evidence · text

> Significant intercepts for La Verde are calculated above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu. Where appropriate, significant intersections may contain up to 30m down-hole distance of internal dilution \(less than 0.20% Cu\).

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: The metal equivalent formula, metal prices, and recovery assumptions used for the calculation are clearly disclosed in the document.

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\(g/t\).

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document reports 'Interval \(m\)' which refers to downhole length, and no true width or orientation information is provided to calculate or infer true width.

Evidence · table

> Interval \(m\)

Context: Interval \(m\)

**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 within the meaning of NI43-101 and a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code.

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 NI43-101. 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 \(AIG\).

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The metallurgical testwork is described as 'initial metallurgical testwork' and 'amenability testwork completed thus far', without specifying a larger scale like locked-cycle or pilot plant.

Evidence · text

> Initial metallurgical testwork for La Verde, also using seawater, indicate similar recoveries to those recorded at Costa Fuego

**Theoretical Recovery Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only theoretical or liberation-derived recovery reported, with no actual test result.

Why it applies: The recoveries mentioned for Cu, Au, Mo, and Ag are used as assumptions for the CuEq formula, and while stated as from 'amenability testwork', they are not presented as new, detailed metallurgical results from this specific announcement.

Evidence · text

> 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.

## 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.
