With Another Standout Result of 106m grading 0.70% CuEq Recorded Within 472 m grading 0.41% CuEq 1 from 49 m

Highlights

Strong drill results continue as Hot Chili accelerates its integration of the La Verde porphyry discovery into the Company's Costa Fuego copper-gold (Cu-Au) project, located in Chile's coastal range.

Recently returned Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) drill results continue to expand La Verde's high-grade core, and confirm strong continuity of shallow, wide zones of Cu-Au mineralisation ahead of a planned maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Significant intersections include:

DKD060 recorded 472 m grading 0.41% CuEq (0.34% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au) from 49 m depth Including 63.7 m grading 0.50% CuEq (0.42% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au) from 93.4 m, and

Including 105.8 m grading 0.70% CuEq (0.58% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au) from 397 m

DKP058 recorded 182 m grading 0.50% CuEq (0.41% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au) from 24 m depth Including a 74 m downhole extension to the previously reported 2 108 m grading 0.54% CuEq (0.45% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au) from 24 m

DKP052 recorded 272 m grading 0.40% CuEq (0.32% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au) from 82 m depth Including 42 m grading 0.50% CuEq (0.39% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au) from 92 m

Including 28 m grading 0.60% CuEq (0.48% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au) from 252 m

Assays are pending for 18 drillholes (one DD, one DD tail, and 16 RC), and a fourth rig has been added to accelerate drilling operations following recent heavy rain in the Atacama region.
