-- Hot Chili (ASX:HCH) plans to accelerate drilling across the La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile to establish a maiden mineral resource and further define the potential size, scale, and grade of a higher-grade starter pit for the Costa Fuego project, also in Chile, according to a Thursday Australian bourse filing.
The company said it plans to complete and submit an environmental impact assessment for Costa Fuego and start a feasibility study for the project.
Hot Chili intends to integrate La Verde into an expanded mine plan.
