Highlights
Significant Drill Result for CRP0061D
813m grading 0.4% copper & 0.1g/t gold from 54m depth to end of hole
Including an Intercept Extending the High Grade Core of:
318m grading 0.6% copper & 0.2g/t gold from 440m depth
(plus additional silver and molybdenum credits)
Hot Chili Limited (ASX code HCH) (œHot Chili or œCompany) is pleased to announce yet another exceptionally wide drill intersection from its Cortadera copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile.
The new drill result ranks as one of the widest intersections recorded by Hot Chili at Cortadera and most importantly “ confirms that the high grade core discovered in the main porphyry (Cuerpo 3) is expanding rapidly.
Cortadera has delivered a remarkable run of world-class copper-gold drill intersections since the Company announced a deal to acquire the private discovery in early 2019.
Cortadera Returns Another Outstanding Drill Result
Hot Chili has delivered its seventh world-class drill result from the Cortadera copper-gold porphyry discovery as the Company advances toward a major resource upgrade this year.
Results received from CRP0061D recorded 813m grading 0.4% copper and 0.1g/t gold from a depth of 54m down-hole depth to end of hole. The hole was planned to 1,500m depth but unfortunately had to be abandoned in mineralised porphyry at 863m depth owing to mechanical issues.
Importantly, CRP0061D successfully achieved its target of testing a predicted extension of the high grade core across the southern flank of Cuerpo 3. From 440m depth, CRP0061D recorded a very wide intersection of 318m grading 0.6% copper, 0.2g/t gold, 89ppm molybdenum and 1g/t silver.
The high grade zone recorded in CRP0061D provides confidence in Hot Chili's approach to rapidly and predictably growing high grade, bulk tonnage, resources at Cortadera.
The high grade core at Cuerpo 3 currently stands at 104Mt grading 0.74% Cu Eq (0.6% Cu and 0.22g/t Au) and is a key growth focus for the Company's 40,000m drill programme which aims to significantly upgrade Cortadera's maiden resource estimate of 451Mt grading 0.46% Cu Eq this year (refer to ASX announcement œCosta Fuego Becomes Leading Global Copper Project, date 12th October 2020).
Hot Chili's recent drill holes at Cuerpo 3 (the largest of the four porphyries discovered to date) include some of the worlds' stand-out copper-gold porphyry drill results. The new drill result from CRP0061D rates as one of the best drill results recorded at Cortadera:
Cortadera's Most Significant Drill Intersections to Date
(including 412m grading 0.7% copper and 0.3g/t gold),
(including 188m grading 0.9% copper and 0.4g/t gold),
(including 184m grading 0.7% copper and 0.3g/t gold),
(including 348m grading 0.6% copper and 0.2g/t gold),
(including 318m grading 0.6% copper and 0.2g/t gold),
(including 440m grading 0.5% copper and 0.2g/t gold), and
(including 184m grading 0.7% copper and 0.3g/t gold)
(including 218m grading 0.7% copper and 0.2g/t gold)
Cortadera continues to be one of the few large global copper discoveries to regularly achieve copper-sector leading drill results from its continued exploration and resource growth drilling activities.
The Company looks forward to a rich period of news flow related to its multiple activity streams spanning exploration, resource growth and lease mining activities at its Costa Fuego copper development in Chile.

* Copper Equivalent (CuEq) reported for the resource were calculated using the following formula: CuEq% = ((Cu% — Cu price 1% per tonne — Cu_recovery)+(Mo ppm — Mo price per g/t — Mo_recovery)+(Au ppm — Au price per g/t — Au_recovery)+ (Ag ppm — Ag price per g/t — Ag_recovery)) / (Cu price 1% per tonne). The Metal Prices applied in the calculation were: Cu=3.00 USD/lb, Au=1,550 USD/oz, Mo=12 USD/lb, and Ag=18 USD/oz. For Cortadera (Inferred + Indicated), the average Metallurgical Recoveries were: Cu=83%, Au=56%, Mo=82%, and Ag=37%. For Productora (Inferred + Indicated), the average Metallurgical Recoveries were: Cu=83%, Au=43% and Mo=42%. For Costa Fuego (Inferred + Indicated), the average Metallurgical Recoveries were: Cu=83%, Au=51%, Mo=67% and Ag=23%.
