SMEA is a joint venture (JV) company \u2013 80% owned by Sociedad Minera El Coraz\u00f3n Limitada (a 100% subsidiary of Hot Chili Limited), and 20% owned by CMP (Compa\u00f1\u00eda Minera del Pac\u00edfico S.A (CMP)).<br \/>3.

Frontera is a subsidiary company \u2013 100% owned by Sociedad Minera El Coraz\u00f3n Limitada, which is a 100% subsidiary of Hot Chili Limited.<br \/>4 The San Antonio deposit is controlled through Frontera (100% owned by Sociedad Minera El Coraz\u00f3n Limitada, which is a 100% subsidiary of Hot Chili Limited) and has an Option Agreement with a private party to earn a 100% interest.<br \/>5 The Mineral Resource estimates in the tables above form coherent bodies of mineralisation that are considered amenable to a combination of open pit and underground extraction methods based on the following parameters: Base Case Metal Prices: Copper US$ 3.00\/lb, Gold US$ 1,700\/oz, Molybdenum US$ 14\/lb, and Silver US$20\/oz.<br \/>6 Metallurgical recovery averages for each deposit consider Indicated + Inferred material and are weighted to combine sulphide flotation and oxide leaching performance. Process recoveries: Cortadera and San Antonio \u2013 Weighted recoveries of 82% Cu, 55% Au, 82% Mo and 37% Ag. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.56 x Au(g\/t) + 0.00046 x Mo(ppm) + 0.0043 x Ag(g\/t). Productora \u2013 Weighted recoveries of 84% Cu, 47% Au, 47% Mo and 0% Ag (not reported). CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.46 x Au(g\/t) + 0.00026 x Mo(ppm). Costa Fuego \u2013 Recoveries of 83% Cu, 53% Au, 69% Mo and 23% Ag. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + 0.52 x Au(g\/t) + 0.00039 x Mo(ppm) + 0.0027 x Ag(g\/t).<br \/>7 Resource Copper Equivalent (CuEq) grades are calculated based on the formula: CuEq% = ((Cu% \u00d7 Cu price 1% per tonne \u00d7 Cu_recovery) + (Mo ppm\u00d7 Mo price per g\/t \u00d7 Mo_recovery)+(Au ppm \u00d7 Au price per g\/t \u00d7 Au_recovery)+ (Ag ppm \u00d7 Ag price per g\/t \u00d7 Ag_recovery)) \/ (Cu price 1% per tonne \u00d7 Cu recovery). The base case cut-off grade for mineral resources considered amenable to open pit extraction methods at the Cortadera, Productora and San Antonio deposits is 0.21% CuEq while the cut-off grade for mineral resources considered amenable to underground extraction methods at<br \/>the Cortadera deposit is 0.3% CuEq.<br \/>8 Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. These Mineral Resource estimates include Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.<br \/>9 Th ff c v of h m of M R o c M ch , R f o ASX A o c m \u201cHo h D v N x L v of G ow h\u201d (\u201cR o c A o c m \u201d) for JORC Code Table 1 information related to the Costa Fuego Resource Estimate (MRE) by Competent Person Elizabeth Haren, constituting the MREs of Cortadera, Productora and San Antonio (which combine to form Costa Fuego).
