Perth – October 19, 2026 -- Hot Chili (ASX: HCH, TSXV: HCH, OTCQX: HHLKF) has confirmed a second porphyry centre, La Verde South, after its first step-out hole returned 148 m grading 0.44% copper equivalent (CuEq) at the La Verde copper-gold discovery in Chile. The company says the find near-doubles the growth potential of La Verde, which sits 30 km south of the planned central processing hub for its Costa Fuego project.
Step-out hole DKP084 intersects 148 m at 0.44% CuEq beneath shallow gravel
Reverse circulation hole DKP084 was collared about 250 m south of La Verde's +0.4% copper footprint, which more than 40,000 m of drilling has defined. It returned 148 m at 0.44% CuEq (0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au) from 36 m. That includes 44 m at 0.56% CuEq (0.50% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au) from 138 m.
