# Hot Chili Confirms Major High-Grade Extension at La Verde from Standout Drill Result of 62 m @ 1.03% CuEq&\#xB9; within 725 m @ 0.42% CuEq&\#xB9; from 18 m depth Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/hot-chili-confirms-major-high-grade-extension-at-la-verde-from-standout-drill-re--b4671236-c2a6-49e2-95fc-f12826bfaf21 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/HCH/news/7272549275196018/hot-chili-confirms-major-high-grade-extension-at-la-verde-from-standout-drill-re Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-04-08T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Hot Chili Limited - Ticker: HCH - Exchange: TSX - Region: Chile's coastal Atacama region - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver, Molybdenum - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-12 06:55:31 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Hot Chili has announced significant drill results from its La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile, highlighted by hole DKD039 which returned 725 m grading 0.42% CuEq from 18 m depth, including a high-grade core of 62 m at 1.03% CuEq. These results confirm a major 200 m down-dip extension of the high-grade core and expand near-surface higher-grade mineralisation, supporting the potential for a starter pit at the Costa Fuego project. The company is accelerating drilling with two rigs on site and a third planned, with further assay results pending. Reasoning: Hot Chili has reported exceptional drill results from La Verde, particularly DKD039, which delivered the widest intercept to date and a significant high-grade core, extending the deposit's known mineralisation and supporting the development of a high-grade starter pit. The results confirm continuity and expand the footprint of the copper-gold porphyry discovery. - Positive factor: Exceptional intercept length and grade in DKD039, including a high-grade core - Positive factor: Significant down-dip extension of the high-grade core confirmed - Positive factor: Expansion of near-surface higher-grade mineralisation, supporting a potential starter pit - Positive factor: Confirmation of continuity of bulk tonnage mineralisation - Positive factor: Detailed disclosure of metal equivalent assumptions and cut-off grade Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## 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.
