Welcome to our dedicated page for Hot Chili news (Ticker: HHLKF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Hot Chili stock.
Hot Chili Limited reports on copper-gold exploration and development activity centered on its Costa Fuego project in Chile's coastal Atacama region. Recurring updates focus on the La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery, including diamond and reverse-circulation drilling, assay results, mineralised zone extensions, and the relationship of La Verde to the planned Costa Fuego processing hub.
Company news also includes quarterly reports, capital-raising activity, feasibility and environmental study references, and commodity-market context for copper and gold. Technical disclosures in the company's releases commonly reference copper-equivalent grades, JORC Code reporting, and National Instrument 43-101 standards for mineral-project disclosure.
Hot Chili (HHLKF) reported its quarterly activities to 30 June 2026, highlighting ongoing drilling at the La Verde copper-gold porphyry in Chile, where a third rig commenced in May. Standout intercepts included 391.1 m at 0.51% CuEq from surface in DKD044 and 250 m at 0.50% CuEq from 64 m in DKP053, expanding near-surface higher-grade mineralisation and the high-grade core.
The company executed an amendment with OR Royalties, adding La Verde, a pre-resource asset, to OR’s royalty footprint for US$15 million, bringing total consideration to US$30 million and equivalent to a 1.12% CuEq NSR royalty look-through. According to Hot Chili, this leaves it with a strong cash position of approximately A$46 million. Workstreams toward a maiden La Verde Mineral Resource, a revised Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study, and submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment in Q2 CY 2027 advanced, supported by a new project development team and an additional ISO-accredited assay laboratory to improve turnaround times.
Hot Chili (OTCQX: HHLKF) reported further drilling results from its La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile, 30 km south of the planned Costa Fuego processing hub. Recent shallow RC holes defined a near-surface enrichment zone, including 250 m at 0.50% CuEq from 64 m in DKP053 and 108 m at 0.54% CuEq from 24 m in DKP058.
Step-out diamond drilling continued to expand La Verde’s footprint, with DKD049 returning 213 m at 0.44% CuEq from 504 m and DKP028D recording 258.9 m at 0.42% CuEq from 358 m. According to Hot Chili, La Verde is being advanced toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2026, integration into a revised Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study, and an Environmental Impact Assessment submission targeted for Q2 2027. Assays remain pending for 21 additional drillholes, while a second accredited laboratory is now operating at full capacity to improve turnaround times.
Hot Chili (OTCQX:HHLKF) signed a binding Amended and Restated Investment Agreement with OR Royalties, adding a Net Smelter Return royalty over the La Verde deposit within the Costa Fuego project in exchange for US$15 million cash.
This brings total OR royalty consideration across Costa Fuego to US$30 million, for an NSR equivalent to 1.12% CuEq over payable metals. The funding is non-dilutive and is expected to close in July 2026, subject to customary conditions, with proceeds directed to advancing La Verde and the broader Costa Fuego copper-gold project.
Hot Chili (OTCQX:HHLKF) reported new copper-gold drill results from the La Verde discovery, 30 km south of the Costa Fuego project in Chile.
Diamond hole DKD044 returned 391 m grading 0.51% CuEq from surface, with several higher-grade intervals, supporting potential for a shallow high-grade starter pit and expanding La Verde's high-grade core.
Hot Chili (OTCQX: HHLKF) reports new La Verde Cu-Au drilling that expands its higher-grade core and near-surface continuity. Key assay highlights include 86.6 m @ 0.45% CuEq from 4.4 m and 163.9 m @ 0.43% CuEq from 185.2 m. Visual 180 m chalcopyrite zone in DKD049 and three wide near-surface RC intersections (DKP052–54) support starter-pit potential. Assays pending for 14 holes; DKD049 expected late May 2026 and DKP052–54 in June 2026. Third drill rig expected to start soon.
Hot Chili (OTC:HHLKF) reported a A$40.0 million private placement and A$35.2 million cash at 31 March 2026 to accelerate development of the Costa Fuego Cu-Au project in Chile.
Key operational highlights: appointment of Ausenco for the feasibility study; delivery of a maiden La Verde resource, EIA submission, and integration of La Verde into an expanded mine plan targeted this year. Drill results at La Verde include DKD039: 725 m @ 0.42% CuEq from 18 m, and multiple near-surface intersections defining a potential higher-grade starter pit.
Hot Chili (OTCQX: HHLKF) reported a standout La Verde diamond drill result: 725 m @ 0.42% CuEq from 18 m, including 62 m @ 1.03% CuEq from 671 m, which the company says extends the high-grade core ~200 m down-dip. Two rigs are operating, a third is planned for May, and assays remain pending for eleven holes.
Results highlight potential near-surface starter-pit zones and continued footprint growth at La Verde within the Costa Fuego project.
Hot Chili (OTCQX: HHLKF) reported further shallow, high‑grade copper‑gold drilling at La Verde, part of the Costa Fuego project in Chile. Recent holes DKD036 returned 150 m @ 0.52% CuEq from 30 m and DKD035 220 m @ 0.47% CuEq from 38 m, expanding a ~400 m x 400 m higher‑grade near‑surface zone.
Visual chalcopyrite observed in DKD039 over ~150 m downhole width (several intervals >3%) notably expands the high‑grade core; assays are pending and expected April 2026.
Hot Chili (OTC:HHLKF) reported rapid expansion of a gold-rich, high-grade core at the La Verde copper-gold discovery during Q4 2025. Diamond drilling returned long, higher-grade intercepts (example: DKD032 529m @ 0.41% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au from 41m). The results support a potential high-grade starter pit for Costa Fuego, regulatory pad-clearing has begun, strategic partnering processes are advancing, and A$1.8M in VAT/JV recoup was received in January 2026.
Hot Chili (OTCQX: HHLKF) reported Phase two diamond drilling at its La Verde Cu-Au discovery with wide, near-surface mineralisation that expands a developing high‑grade core. Key results include DKD033: 495m @ 0.38% Cu & 0.10 g/t Au from 3m (including 123m @ 0.50% Cu & 0.13 g/t Au) and DKD034: 426m @ 0.37% Cu & 0.08 g/t Au from 194m (including 52m @ 0.50% Cu). Six diamond assays remain pending. Drilling restarted 12 Jan 2026 and results could add open‑pit tonnes to the Costa Fuego 20‑year mine schedule, increasing project leverage to higher copper and gold prices.
