## 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.

## 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.
