Products and/or services of Hot Chili

  • Copper-Gold Mine Development: Developing a large-scale coastal copper-gold deposit in the Atacama region featuring a planned 20-year mine life, low-elevation access, and projected primary annual production capacity exceeding 100,000 tonnes of copper equivalent metal.
  • Porphyry Starter Pit Expansion: Conducting definition drilling on a satellite porphyry deposit located 30 kilometres from the central processing plant to establish a high-grade starter pit for early mineral feed into the primary production plant.
  • Seawater Processing Supply: Operating a coastal water supply system backed by a granted maritime concession to pump raw seawater directly to central mineral processing facilities, eliminating reliance on local continental freshwater resources.
  • Regional Desalinated Water Utility: Developing a staged regional infrastructure network designed to supply desalinated water from Pacific Ocean intakes to neighboring industrial users and undeveloped mining developments across the arid coastal valley region.
  • Coastal Porphyry Exploration: Executing reverse circulation and diamond drilling programs across high-priority target zones in northern Chile to discover new copper-gold mineralization and expand existing open-pit resource models.
  • Copper Concentrate Marketing: Producing clean copper-gold concentrate containing no deleterious elements, leveraging proximity to the Pan-American Highway and nearby deep-water port facilities to deliver bulk mineral shipments to international smelters.
