Hot Chili and Compania Minera del Pacifico (CMP) have launched Huasco Water, a new entity to address water scarcity in Chile's Atacama region. Hot Chili holds an 80% interest in Huasco Water, while CMP holds 20%. The new company will develop a seawater and desalinated water supply network for mining, agriculture, and community use. The transfer of critical water assets from Sociedad Minera El Águila SpA to Huasco Water has started.

The establishment of Huasco Water aligns with industry trends in water infrastructure outsourcing, as evidenced by Antofogasta Minerals' recent $600 million water asset sale. This move secures water supply for future developments and preserves continental water sources.
