Bottom Line<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hot Chili continues to advance one of the largest copper <\/span>projects not owned by a major. The PFS (Preliminary Feasibility Study) <\/span>takes them one important step closer to making an investment decision and <\/span>moving the project to production.<\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, the PFS economics, which were already very good, remain <\/span>largely unchanged even with an expanded production scope and <\/span>industrywide inflation. These numbers also do not include the significant recent discoveries at La Verde, which will likely increase the ultimate production levels and resource at Costa Fuego.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comparison: PFS vs PEA<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hot Chili trades for $0.91 per pound of measured <\/span>and inferred resource compared to many peer projects trading 2-3x higher <\/span>even though these projects have higher costs, need more upfront capital <\/span>and are at a more uncertain stage of development.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a water company spinout still in the works at Hot Chili and a recent <\/span>discovery that could significantly increase the production scope and <\/span>resource at Costa Fuego, Hot Chili offers investors more potential chances <\/span>for a rerating than any other independent in the copper space in our view.<\/span><\/p>\n

  • Post Tax NPV of $1.2B increased from the PEA value of $1.1B even <\/span>
    with startup and expansion capital estimates rising 24%.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Annual production now expected to be 116k CuEq tons\/year, up from 114k CuEq.<\/li>\n
  • Mine life extended from 16 to 20 years<\/li>\n
  • Probably reserves of 502 million tonnes. 70% of indicated resources converted to reserves with upside remaining from new discovery La Verde.<\/li>\n
  • Definitive Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Assessment now in the works.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    We are very pleased to deliver our PFS for Costa Fuego on-time and within guidance. The study provides a strong basis for our final stage of development and places Costa Fuego within an elite grouping of copper developments globally. With both copper and gold prices at record highs, our PFS has demonstrated two of the most critical factors in assessing the likelihood of meaningful, near-term copper supply \u2013 top quartile production capacity and lowest quartile capital intensity. Importantly, exploration success at our recently confirmed La Verde Cu-Au porphyry discovery represents a highly prospective further growth opportunity for Hot Chili.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Our next steps for Costa Fuego are two-pronged: rapid acceleration of drilling and environmental activity at La Verde to lay foundations for integrating material resource and mine life growth, and commencement of a Definitive Feasibility Study and submission of our stage-1 EIA to keep the project on-track for first production before the end of the decade. With cash of approximately A$19 million as at 31st December 2024 and both of our key assets (Costa Fuego and Huasco Water) at PFS level study, we are well positioned to pursue potential strategic partnership and sponsorship funding discussions.<\/p>\n

    We look forward to providing further updates on drilling (La Verde) and development (Huasco Water) activities, in addition to further changes to our Board of Directors and Management group which aim to further strengthen our capability at this critical inflexion point in the Company’s history”Christian Easterday, Managing Director & CEO, Hot Chili Ltd.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

              Pre-Feasibility Study Overview<\/b><\/h3>\n

              The Costa Fuego PFS outlines a copper-gold project delivering an annual copper equivalent metal production profile of 90 kt for the 20-year processing life (including over 116 kt for the first 14 years). Project economics are strongly leveraged to further resource growth and copper price appreciation.<\/p>\n

              The Costa Fuego Project combines four mineral deposits within three discrete mining areas comprising porphyry-hosted copper-gold-molybdenum, iron-oxide copper-gold-molybdenum and high-grade skarn-hosted copper mineralizations. The current Mineral Resource for Costa Fuego with an effective date of February 26, 2024<\/span>\u00a0is reported as 2.76\u00a0Mt of contained copper1<\/sup>\u00a0and all mining areas are contained within a tight 20 km radius. Costa Fuego benefits from a favourable elevation at\u00a0740 m<\/span>\u00a0above sea level, is proximal to port facilities (~60 km) and has access to existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

              The Costa Fuego Project’s proximity to the regional centre and capital of the Huasco Province, Vallenar (population 52 000), ensures that an experienced and capable local workforce would be available, and no camp build would be required.<\/p>\n

              Mining and Processing<\/b><\/p>\n

              Mining of oxide and sulphide processing feed utilises both open-pit and underground (block cave) bulk mining methodologies. Early mining is concentrated at the Productora open-pit, where high-grade, near-surface feed is front-ended to aid in the payback of construction capital and to fund development of the underground block cave at Cortadera.<\/p>\n

              Processing plant feed is mined at relatively low-cost due to competitive ore to waste strip ratios (1:1.5 for the open pits).<\/p>\n

              Copper in sulphide is predominantly chalcopyrite-hosted, readily recovered by a conventional crush-grind-float methodology to produce a clean, marketable concentrate with very low levels of deleterious elements. Substantial credit is added with the presence of gold and silver in copper concentrate, as well as a separate molybdenum concentrate.<\/p>\n

              The sulphide concentrator, located near the Productora-Alice mining area, is designed for a nominal throughput of 20.7 Mtpa and capable of averaging 21.7 Mtpa across the project life.<\/p>\n

              Oxide and low-grade sulphide ore is processed on heap and dump-leach facilities at Productora, respectively, with testwork confirming strong recoveries using a hyperchloride leach solution. Copper is extracted from solution through an SX-EW plant. The heap leach pad is designed to accept 4 Mtpa, with the SX-EW facility producing a maximum of 12 ktpa of copper cathode.<\/p>\n

              Permitting and Stakeholder Engagement<\/b><\/p>\n

              Environmental surveys and other studies required for project permitting are well advanced, with submission of an environmental impact assessment for the Costa Fuego Project planned for 2025.<\/p>\n

              Growth and Opportunity<\/b><\/p>\n

              Significant opportunity still exists to add to the Costa Fuego Project, with the recent discovery of copper-gold porphyry mineralization at La Verde located 50 km by road from the processing facility at Productora. Additional growth opportunities are being investigated at the recently consolidated Domeyko tenement package, with field reconnaissance completed at a number of priority targets.<\/p>\n

              High-value development optimizations are still being investigated across mining and processing, including an opportunity to monetize cobalt and increase overall copper and gold recovery through inclusion of a pyrite concentrate circuit, and the investigation of a single open-pit scenario at Cortadera removing the requirement for the underground block cave.<\/p>\n

              Mineral Resource Estimate<\/b><\/p>\n

              The Costa Fuego Mineral Resource ( “MRE” ) is reported in accordance with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (2012) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ( “CIM” ) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definition, as required by NI 43-101.<\/p>\n

              Indicated Mineral Resources for the Costa Fuego Project total 798 Mt @ 0.45% CuEq1<\/sup>\u00a0(0.37% Cu, 0.10 g\/t Au, 0.50 g\/t Ag, and 85 ppm Mo)1<\/sup>. The\u00a0MRE has an effective date of\u00a0February 26, 2024<\/span>, and was reported within open pit and block cave shapes generated considering reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction ( “RPEEE” ).<\/p>\n

              Drilling across Costa Fuego has been completed over 15 years, beginning with Productora and Alice in 2010, followed by\u00a0San Antonio<\/span>\u00a0in 2018 and then Cortadera in 2019. The Costa Fuego MRE are informed by approximately 76\u00a0400 m<\/span>\u00a0of diamond drilling and 284\u00a0000 m<\/span>\u00a0of reverse circulation drilling across the four mineral deposits.<\/p>\n

              Estimation of the main grade variables (copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum) was completed using categorical indicator kriging, ordinary block kriging and inverse distance interpolation within either manually interpreted mineralization domains or software-guided grade interpolants, and sometimes a combination of both methodologies. Mineral Resources were classified as either Indicated or Inferred, based on a range of criteria, including but not limited to, geological and grade continuity between drill holes, drill hole spacing, mineralization type, and data quality.<\/p>\n

              Mineral Reserve Estimate<\/b><\/h3>\n

              The Costa Fuego Project at PFS stage envisages conventional open pit, truck and shovel operation from four mineral deposits (Alice, Cortadera, Productora, and\u00a0San Antonio<\/span>) and underground block caving from a single mine area (Cortadera, below Cuerpo 3 open pit). Ore would be processed either via heap leach (oxide only), concentrator (transitional and fresh only), or low-grade dump leach (all material classifications).<\/p>\n

              The Probable Mineral Reserve is based on Indicated Mineral Resources within resource block models regularised to\u00a05 m<\/span>\u00a0* x\u00a010 m<\/span>\u00a0(y) x\u00a05 m<\/span>\u00a0(z). Only Indicated blocks have been considered for the Mineral Reserve, with metal grades for Inferred Resource blocks coded to zero before the first stage of model optimisation.<\/p>\n

              Dilution and ore loss is captured within the mineral resource block model due to regularisation to the singular mining unit ( “SMU” ). This is considered appropriate for the large-scale mineralised systems that comprise the majority of the Costa Fuego Mineral Reserve.<\/p>\n

              Mineral Reserve evaluation was completed using a series of open pit optimisation created using Net Smelter Return ( “NSR” ) cut-offs which were subsequently engineered into mining design stages.<\/p>\n

              1<\/sup>Mineral Reserves are reported on a 100% Basis – combining Mineral Reserve estimates for the Cortadera, Productora, Alice and San Antonio deposits, and have an effective date of 27 March 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

              \n

              2<\/sup>An Ore Reserve (declared in accordance with JORC Code 2012) was previously reported at Productora, a component of Costa Fuego, on 2nd March 2016 on the ASX. The Company was not subject to the requirements of NI 43-101 at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

              \n

              5<\/sup>Tonnages and grades are rounded to two significant figures. All figures are rounded, reported to appropriate significant figures and reported in accordance with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (2012) and NI 43-101. As each number is rounded individually, the table may show apparent inconsistencies between the sum of rounded components and the corresponding rounded total.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

              \n

              6<\/sup>Mineral Reserves are reported using long-term metal prices of US$4.30\/lb Cu, US$2,280\/oz Au, US$27\/oz Ag, US$20\/lb Mo.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

              \n

              7<\/sup>The Mineral Reserve tonnages and grades are estimated and reported as delivered to plant (the point where material is delivered to the processing facility) and is therefore inclusive of ore loss and dilution.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

              \n

              8<\/sup>The Productora deposit is 100% owned by Chilean incorporated company Sociedad Minera El Aguila SpA (SMEA).
