Hot Chili (ASX/TSXV: HCH, OTCQX: HHLKF) is well positioned to capitalize on the impending copper supply deficit – an inevitable outcome of the push to electrify everything and a depleted project pipeline globally. Hot Chili is committed to delivering value per share for existing and future shareholders within the context of the copper commodity cycle.
The Company control large-scale assets in two of the most critical commodities of our time – copper and water – with two of the most desirable attributes – low-risk and near-term.
Hot Chili’s Costa Fuego Copper-Gold Project in low elevation Chile has quality, size, location and strategic advantages that can materially shorten development timelines. Perhaps most importantly Costa Fuego is one of the few copper development projects globally that has a water extraction licence. Hot Chili has also secured most of the easement and surface rights required for development. What began as a ten-year water permitting process for Costa Fuego, has transformed into a potential water business capable of supplying an entire region with both seawater and de-salinated water.
Hot Chili released a PFS in March 2025 demonstrating a robust oxide and concentrate (with no deleterious elements) project with annual copper equivalent production averaging 116kt/year, an expanded project life of 20 years with 14 years of primary production. Hot Chili’s economic advantage includes using seawater for processing (resulting in slightly higher recoveries vs fresh water), proximity to existing towns (negating the need for a permanent camp), access via the Pan American Highway, access to existing electrical infrastructure that currently includes a high renewable component and an MoU with an existing port.
Market conditions are indicative of the initial stages of a new copper price cycle being driven by a lack of new supply. The Company is well funded to take advantage of controlling the right assets at the right time in the right place.
Site tours are usually only possible for the few owing to logistical and cost constraints. Hot Chili is now able to make this possible for anyone, providing the “whole picture” of Hot Chili’s uniquely positioned 927Mt senior copper development in Chile.
Investors and shareholders can navigate simply though the virtual site tour by using the toggle forward and backward function at the bottom right of the viewing screen. As the tour is interactive, the 3D view is able to be rotated in any direction as well as zoom-in and zoom-out function using your mouse or touch-screen.
Note that at each site tour location, several sub-tour locations are also available to tour and additional photos are provided of various features of interest along with simple commentary.
We hope you enjoy the tour and take the time to review all aspects of our projects from our deposits, operational sites, people and regional infrastructure to local community in which we operate.
Read our announcements, check our research, and find our quarterly reports. Find key information for current investors as well as anyone interested in adding copper stocks to their portfolio.
Low Risk, Near-Term, Meaningful Copper Supply
– Over a Decade in the Making
Hot Chili has recently released a Preliminary Feasibility Study which confirmed a high annual copper equivalent metal production profile averaging 116 kt, with a 20 year project life. The Project will employ centralised processing to efficiently mine multiple ore sources and take advantage of significant infrastructure located locally, such as the grid connected, 100% renewable, power station at Maitencillo.
Given the regions limited groundwater resources, the close proximity of the Las Losas Port and permitted to use raw seawater for processing (maritime concession and land access granted and MOU in place with Huasco Water for sea water supply to Costa Fuego) means all water required for the operations are already secured and also provide the Project with additional strong environmental credentials.
Costa Fuego is the only advanced senior copper development in the America’s located at low-altitude (less than 1,000m elevation), 60kms from an existing port.
Hot Chili’s Costa Fuego Project encompasses three mining sites – Cortadera, Productora and San Antonio – all located within a 20km radius and within proximity to critical infrastructure such as a power station, deep seawater port, large mining towns and the dual-lane Pan American Highway.
