Cautionary Statement - JORC Code (2012)

The Preliminary Economic Assessment referred to in this Report is equivalent to a Scoping Study under JORC Code (2012) reporting guidelines. It has been undertaken for the purpose of initial evaluation of a potential development of the Costa Fuego Copper Project in Chile. It is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Costa Fuego Copper Project. The PEA outcomes, production target and forecast financial information referred to in the report are based on low level technical and economic assessments that are insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves. The PEA is presented in US dollars to an accuracy level of +/- 35%. While each of the modifying factors was considered and applied, there is no certainty of eventual conversion to Ore Reserves or that the production target itself will be realised. Further exploration and evaluation and appropriate studies are required before Hot Chili will be in a position to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of any economic development case. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of the PEA.

Of the Mineral Resources scheduled for extraction in the PEA production plan, approximately 99% are classified as Indicated and 1% as Inferred. The Company has concluded that it has reasonable grounds for disclosing a production target which includes a small amount of Inferred Mineral Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The viability of the development scenario envisaged in the PEA does not depend on the inclusion of Inferred Mineral Resources. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource with continued drilling.

The Mineral Resources underpinning the production target in the PEA have been prepared by a competent person in accordance with the requirements of the JORC 2012. For full details on the Mineral Resource estimate, please refer to the ASX announcement of 31 March 2022. The Mineral Resource Estimate update released in February 2024 does not materially change the Mineral Resource inventory that formed the basis of the 2023 PEA, and no new scientific or technical information has been developed that would materially affect the outcome of the 2023 PEA and, therefore, the results and conclusions of the 2023 PEA are considered current and have been restated for this Report.

To achieve the outcomes indicated in the PEA, including reaching Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") and production stages, funding in the order of US$1.10 Billion will be required, including pre-production and working capital and assumed financing charges. Investors should note that that there is no certainty that Hot Chili will be able to raise that amount of funding when needed. One of the key assumptions is that the funding for the Project will be available when required. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to, or otherwise affect the value of, Hot Chili's existing shares. It is also possible that Hot Chili could pursue other value realisation strategies such as debt financing, a sale or partial sale of its interest in the Costa Fuego Copper Project, sale of further royalties and/or streaming rights, sale of non-committed offtake rights, and sale of non-core assets.

This Report contains forward-looking statements. Hot Chili has concluded that it has a reasonable basis for providing these forward-looking statements and believes it has a reasonable basis to expect it will be able to fund development of the Costa Fuego Copper Project. However, a number of factors could cause actual results or expectations to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely of the results of the PEA.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Costa Fuego Pre-feasibility Study On-Track

During the quarter, the Company has continued to focus on several development studies workstreams ahead of the planned delivery of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in late 2024.

Development study drilling during the quarter has focussed on metallurgical and hydrogeological drill programs at Productora and the planned Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) for Costa Fuego. Seven diamond drillholes (405m) were completed at Productora during the quarter for metallurgical purposes. The resulting samples have been collected for further testwork on oxide and transitional material. Pre-existing diamond core at Cortadera has also been utilised for this testwork, which will confirm the application of NovaMineralis leach technology for the planned heap leach component of ore processing.

Hydrogeological and environmental studies of the planned TSF footprint also advanced significantly during the quarter, with a shallowly penetrating seismic survey completed in June in tandem with a diamond drillhole for calibration, incorporating hydrogeological permeability tests and geotechnical logging. Detailed surface geological mapping to define key hydrogeological domains was also completed. A further four water-monitoring bores are planned to be completed in Q3 2024.

Hot Chili's development team have completed geometallurgical modelling of the concentrator throughput to facilitate advanced scheduling for optimised mine designs. Remaining geometallurgy workstreams will focus on acid consumption modelling in the planned heap leach and dump leach.

Open pit and underground cave mine design has progressed well with the economic limits at all deposits completed and pit staging being finalised. Mine designs are being independently reviewed for geotechnical stability and detailed mine designs have commenced.

On- and off-site infrastructure designs for the proposed material handling system (Doppelmayr's rope conveyor technology) and infrastructure/utilities corridor between Productora and Cortadera (access, power and water supply) are being reviewed and optimised.

Hot Chili has also engaged several independent experts to review and provide assurance reports for all critical areas of the PFS such as the mineral resource, metallurgy, mine design, ore transport and handling, environmental permitting process, capital and operating costs. In all, fourteen assurance reports are being prepared. The assurance reporting process is nearing completion and will provide an additional level of expert review to the Independent Technical Review of the PFS, which has been awarded to engineering major Ausenco in conjunction with project management consultants Enthalpy during the quarter. The assurance reporting and Independent Technical Review process aims to ensure the delivery of a rigorous and robust PFS for Costa Fuego.

Port engineering studies being managed by Port of Las Losas are also progressing in consultation with Hot Chili development team. Port studies are being progressed in parallel with Costa Fuego's development timeline to ensure both rotainer and bulk tonnage port loading options are available.

Geophysical Surveys Completed at Productora and Cortadera

Twenty-nine Line-kilometres (Lkm) of MIMDAS¹ was completed from May to June across the Productora (12Lkm) and Cortadera (17Lkm) projects. This deep penetrating electrical geophysical technique detects the chargeability, resistivity, and conductivity properties of underlying rocks. The results of the surveys are currently under review, in combination with geological mapping, drillhole logging and existing geochemical datasets. 3D inversion of the

The new geophysical datasets will provide additional resolution for assessing several high priority growth targets located proximal to both of Hot Chili's bulk tonnage copper-gold resources.

Exploration Activities Underway in Advance of Growth Drilling

On 30th April 2024, Hot Chili announced an option to acquire concessions known as the "Domeyko cluster" (Domeyko) within the historic Domeyko copper-gold mining centre, located approximately 30km south of Hot Chili's planned central processing location (at Productora) for Costa Fuego. Domeyko covers an area of 141 km² and represents a 25% increase in Hot Chili's total landholding area at Costa Fuego.

The Domeyko mining centre hosts both porphyry and structurally controlled styles of mineralisation. Several significant historical copper-gold mines are present, which were previously exploited for oxide mineralisation with limited copper sulphide mineralisation exploration undertaken within the area.

During the quarter, the Company's exploration team kicked-off several significant exploration programmes, including soil geochemistry, geophysics and surface mapping over this large area. An extensive Ground Magnetics survey comprised of 1755Lkm (on 100m spaced north-south oriented lines) is currently underway. The survey data collection is expected to be finalised early Q3 and will aid in targeting across this most recent addition to the Hot Chili tenement package.

SUMMARY OF CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

Hot Chili Closes A$31.9 Million Funding to Accelerate Costa Fuego

On the 6th of May 2024 the Company announced a A$24.9 million private placement to institutional and professional investors through the issue of 24,900,000 new fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") at an offer price of A$1.00 per Share (the "Placement"). The placement was facilitated by joint lead managers (together, the "JLMs") Veritas Securities Limited and Cormark Securities Inc. and co-managers BMO Capital Markets and Beacon Securities Limited. Further details of the private placement are outlined in the Announcement dated 10 May 2024 "Hot Chili Closes A$24.9 Million Private Placement and Announces Full Underwriting of A$5 Million Share Purchase".

In addition to the Placement, the Company offered a fully underwritten Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") to all existing eligible shareholders at the same offer price as the Placement, A$1.00 (C$0.89) per Share. On the 27th of May, the SPP results were released. Given the overwhelming response to the SPP, which was closed early, the Board of Directors exercised its discretion under the terms of the SPP to increase the SPP offer to A$7 million, from the A$5 million originally targeted.

Proceeds from the Placement and SPP, in addition to existing treasury, will provide up to 18 months funding to be used for the completion of the Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study, completion of the Water Supply Business Case Study, completion of the Costa Fuego Environmental Impact Assessment, ongoing exploration, drilling and consolidation activities, and for general working capital purposes.

Hot Chili Launches New Water Company - Huasco Water

Following the conceptual study completed by Hot Chili in Q1, a new joint venture water company Huasco Water (Hot Chili (though Sociedad Minera El Corazón SpA (SMEA)) 80% and CMP 20%) was formed (see announcement dated 8th July), with all water assets held by SMEA being transferred to the newly formed Huasco Water. Following transfer completion, Huasco Water will hold the only active granted maritime water concession, and most of the necessary permits, to supply non-continental water to the Huasco Valley. This will potentially unlock future mining developments in the world's most prolific copper producing region.

HCH also submitted a second maritime concession application for the Huasco valley in April, which includes brine discharge for potential seawater desalination operations on the coastline, so that both raw seawater and desalinated water could be provided by a potential water network.

Huasco Water provides water supply security for Hot Chili as a foundation water off-taker - approximately 700l/s of seawater demand for Hot Chili's Costa Fuego copper project. Discussions with other potential desalinated water off- takers and potential infrastructure partners are advancing well.

Recent third-party transactions in Chile (see announcement "Hot Chili Launches New Water Company - Huasco Water" dated 8th July 2024) have highlighted the strategic nature and implicit value of critical water access rights within the Atacama region, and an increasing trend in Chile towards outsourcing in the industrial infrastructure sector.

Importantly, Hot Chili's approach toward potential outsourcing and development of shared infrastructure, in addition to preserving scarce continental water sources, is fast becoming the accepted and responsible approach for unlocking future mining developments in Chile

Huasco Water provides Hot Chili a potentially significant funding option for Costa Fuego, with the current Business Case Study set to review various monetisation options. Huasco Water's Business Case Study is on-track and planned for completion in H1 2025.

Hot Chili Appoints New Company Secretary & Chief Financial Officer

ASX Listing Rule 5.3.3 - Schedule of Mineral Tenements as of 30 June 2024

The schedule of Mineral Tenements and changes in interests is appended at the end of this activities report.

ASX Listing Rule 5.3.4: Reporting under a use of funds statement in a Prospectus does not apply to the Company currently.

ASX Listing Rule 5.3.5: Payments to related parties of the Company and their associates during the quarter per Section 6.1 of the Appendix 5B totalled $163,000. This is comprised of directors' salaries and superannuation of $163,000

Field operations during the period included geological reconnaissance activities, reverse-circulation drilling, diamond drilling, core-testing and logging, field mapping, and sampling exercises across the major Cortadera and Productora landholdings, as well as new tenements at Domeyko. Activities on new tenements are run from the Productora or Cortadera operations centres and their safety statistics are included under the figures for all projects.

There was one Lost Time Injury (LTI) in the Quarter. Significantly, a leg fracture incident occurred during a soil sampling field programme. The LTI triggered an incident review and a refresher training on field safety protocols for all appropriate exploration field staff. Terrain assessment vs data coverage during planning was identified as one opportunity to mitigate potential future reoccurrence.

Hot Chili's sustainability framework ensures an emphasis on business processes that target long-term economic, environmental and social value. The Company is dedicated to continual monitoring and improvement of health, safety and the environmental systems. There is no greater importance than ensuring the safety of our people and their families.
