Long section view with locations of DKP084 and DKD100, relative to the La Verde porphyry copper-gold discovery2

Step-out drilling has confirmed the discovery of a second porphyry centre – La Verde South - near-doubling the growth potential of the La Verde copper-gold porphyry discovery.

The Company's rapidly emerging cornerstone asset is located 30 km south of its Costa Fuego copper-gold (Cu-Au) Project, located on Chile's coastal range at low elevation.

First step-out Reverse Circulation (RC) drill hole DKP084, located approximately 250 m to the south of La Verde's +0.4% Cu mineralisation footprint, has delivered:

148 m grading 0.44% CuEq1(0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au) from 36 m

Including 44 m grading 0.56% CuEq (0.50% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au) from 138 m

First step-out Diamond (DD) drill hole DKD100, located a further 100 m to the south of DKP084, has visually recorded a 307 m down-hole interval of copper porphyry-style mineralisation3. Diamond drilling is continuing in mineralisation at 347 m and is currently planned to a depth of 500 m.

The maiden La Verde Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), revised Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submission all remain on track.

Four drill rigs operating at La Verde, with assay results pending for 25 drill holes (6 southern step-out and 19 resource definition drill holes).

PERTH, Australia, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot Chili Limited (ASX: HCH) (TSXV: HCH) (OTCQX: HHLKF) ("Hot Chili" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of a second porphyry centre at its La Verde Cu-Au deposit (La Verde), located 30 km south of the planned central processing hub for the Company's Costa Fuego Cu-Au Project (Costa Fuego) in Chile's coastal Atacama region.

First step-out drilling has unlocked significant growth potential, with near-surface higher-grade copper mineralisation immediately south of, and along strike, from La Verde.

Christian Easterday, Managing Director of Hot Chili, said:

"We are very pleased with the results of our first step-out drilling to the south of La Verde. Drilling has confirmed a second porphyry centre, concealed beneath shallow Atacama gravels, with the potential to be of similar scale to La Verde.

These initial results provide yet another boost to Hot Chili's growth plans for its Costa Fuego copper hub in Chile.

Costa Fuego is already one of the top five independent copper developments by scale. The upcoming addition of a maiden MRE for La Verde, and now confirmation of a much larger discovery than first recognised, is a game changer for the Company."

First RC Step-out Drilling Delivers Broad Extension of Shallow Oxide Footprint

Step-out drill hole DKP084 was collared along strike, approximately 250 m south of La Verde's existing +0.4% Cu mineralisation footprint, which has been defined by over 40,000 m of RC and DD drilling to date. DKP084 returned a significant intersection of 148 m grading 0.44% CuEq (0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au) from 36 m, including 44 m grading 0.56% CuEq (0.50% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au) from 138 m.

DKP084 was designed to follow-up and test for extensions south of previously reported RC drill hole DKP024, which recorded 114 m grading 0.4% CuEq (0.4% Cu) from 86 m, including 52 m grading 0.5% CuEq (0.5% Cu, 0.1 g/t Au) from 96 m (see announcement dated 19 May 2025).

The intersection in DKP084 is primarily oxide copper porphyry-style mineralisation, commencing immediately below shallow gravel cover.

First DD Step-out Drill Hole Confirms Second Porphyry Centre at La Verde South

Building on the initial RC drill results from DKP024 and DKP084, Hot Chili mobilised a diamond drill rig to test the potential for higher-grade copper porphyry-style sulphide mineralisation below the wide zone of oxide mineralisation.

Diamond drill hole DKD100 was collared a further 100 m to the south of DKP084, and like DKP084, has visually recorded a wide zone of copper porphyry-style oxide mineralisation (associated with copper clays, malachite and black copper oxide mineralogy) between 40 m and 172 m down hole depth.

Significantly, below this oxide zone, DKD100 has also visually recorded a wide zone of porphyry-style sulphide mineralisation (associated with disseminated chalcopyrite and porphyry-style A, B and C veining) between 172 m and 347 m down hole depth (current depth of hole). DKD100 is continuing and currently planned to a depth of 500 m.

Drilling is continuing with two drill rigs (one DD and one RC) testing La Verde South, while the remaining two drill rigs (one DD and one RC) continue infill drilling La Verde ahead of the Company's planned completion of a maiden MRE.

Further drill results are expected to be released shortly from La Verde and the newly discovered La Verde South porphyry centre.

This announcement is authorised by the Board of Directors for release to ASX and TSXV.

Qualifying Statements

Conceptual Open Pit Shells

Conceptual open pit shells represent Exploration Targets as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' (JORC Code). They are based on completed exploration activities reported in the announcement released 19 May 2025 ('Hot Chili Announces Latest Drill Results for La Verde, Doubling Porphyry Discovery Footprint').

The conceptual open pit shells were generated using copper (Cu) prices of US$3.50/lb Cu and US$6.00/lb Cu on a series of nested Cu grade shells. Other input parameters informing the conceptual open-pit shells (pit slope angles, mining cost, processing cost, etc.) were derived from values reported in the March 2025 Costa Fuego Pre-Feasibility Study and are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation encountered at the La Verde Cu-Au porphyry discovery.

Any potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target shown is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource within the target area, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Further exploration activities are detailed in this announcement and include (but may not necessarily be limited to) a program of diamond drillholes aiming to extend the mineralised footprint at La Verde. Drilling commenced on 22 September 2025, with the length of the program dependent on a number of considerations including (but not limited to) the results of the exploration activities and regulatory applications and approvals.

Qualified Person – NI 43-101

The technical information in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by Mr Christian Easterday, MAIG, Hot Chili's Managing Director and a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. For further information, please refer to the Company's technical report titled "Costa Fuego Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report Preliminary Feasibility Study", with an effective date of 27 March 2025, a copy of which is available for review under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Competent Person – JORC

The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets for the La Verde project is based upon information compiled by Mr Christian Easterday, the Managing Director and a full-time employee of Hot Chili Limited, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). Mr Easterday has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a 'Competent Person' as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' (JORC Code). Mr Easterday consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stock Preachers News Commentary - U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell about 17 basis points last week while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 5.5%, the largest same-week decline in both since the April 2025 tariff turmoil, Bloomberg reported. The move caught investors who had positioned heavily for a deeper slump in bonds, after 10-year yields climbed over the prior seven months to their highest levels in more than two decades. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: TLT), iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: IEF), ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE Arca: TBT), Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ), CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV).

The trigger was a sell-off in AI-linked technology stocks. As shares fell, Treasuries showed early signs of acting like a safe haven again, a role they have failed to play for much of the past few years, partly because oil-driven sell-offs can push stocks and bonds lower together. Commodity trading advisers, the trend-following funds that had built bearish Treasury futures positions at what Bloomberg described as 'extremely short' levels, exited those bets last week, adding fuel to the rally.

Rate expectations had swung hard. Traders at one point priced about a 50% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in October, and still expect one increase by year-end and another in 2027, according to Bloomberg. At the same time, the AI build-out has leaned on bond markets: investment-grade companies, led by megacap technology, have sold about $1.7 trillion of bonds this year, up about 29% from a year earlier.

"To paraphrase Mark Twain, rumors of the death of US Treasuries are greatly exaggerated," James Athey, a portfolio manager at Marlborough Investment Management, told Bloomberg.

Bond and tech charts told this story in real time. Learn how to read them with the free Stock Preachers guide at stockpreachers.com

In other industry developments and happenings in the market this week include:

iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: TLT)

The long end did the heavy lifting. The iShares fund, which tracks U.S. Treasuries with more than 20 years to maturity, rose 2.65% last week, from $77.98 at the October 9 close to $80.05 on October 16, according to Stock Analysis data. The fund holds about $47 billion in assets and charges a 0.15% expense ratio. Long-dated bonds move the most in price when yields change, which is why the long end led the rally.

iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: IEF)

The intermediate fund gained 1.14% over the same period, from $89.40 to $90.42, with about $41 billion in assets. Some strategists favor intermediate maturities as the hedge. Julius Baer found that 10-year Treasuries consistently delivered positive returns during equity drawdowns from 2000 to 2020, and fixed-income strategist Afonso Borges said intermediate Treasuries "should again serve as an effective portfolio hedge," Bloomberg reported.

ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE Arca: TBT)

For investors on the other side of the trade, last week hurt. The ProShares fund seeks two times the inverse of the daily performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, and it fell 5.07%, from $42.05 to $39.92. ProShares notes that returns over periods longer than one day can differ significantly from that daily target.

The fund is a simple read on how the short-bond trade fared. Its steepest drop came on October 15, when it lost 2.94% as the 10-year yield fell 10.5 basis points, according to TheStreet.

Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ)

The Invesco fund that tracks the Nasdaq 100 fell 5.52% last week, from $751.27 to $709.80, matching the index's 5.5% slide. It dropped 1.97% on October 14, the day a hotter-than-expected inflation report pushed yields higher, and another 2.50% on Friday as the AI sell-off resumed.

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV)

CoreWeave became the market's clearest gauge of stress in AI debt. The shares fell 25.21% last week, from $82.08 to $61.39, including drops of 15.46% on October 14 and 11.91% on October 16. The spread on its five-year credit default swaps hit a record of about 1,195 basis points on October 15, and the yield on its October 2031 bond rose above 16%, The Motley Fool reported, citing roughly $52 billion in loans and lease obligations.

"If investors are seeing their AI-linked bonds losing value, they will be less interested in buying new bonds," John Briggs, head of U.S. rates strategy at Natixis North America, told Bloomberg.

The market is on a steady growth path, supported by rising consumer demand, government measures to reduce transport emissions, and advancements in battery and charging technologies that enable higher driving ranges, lower battery costs, and faster charging times. Rising and volatile fuel prices are adding to the economic case for EV adoption, as electric cars generally have lower running costs than internal combustion engine vehicles. The IEA estimates that the increase in oil prices during 2026 raised the annual fuel cost savings from driving an EV in the European Union by 35% compared with 2025, while EV sales increased strongly in several markets during the second quarter of 2026. Global electric car sales reached more than 20 million units in 2025, up 20% year on year, with EVs accounting for one in four new cars sold worldwide. Consumer acceptance is also broadening as model availability, affordability, driving range, and charging access improve. Nearly 1,000 electric car models were available globally in 2025, while the number of EV models available in India increased from 33 to 45 between 2024 and 2025. The development of charging infrastructure is further supporting this shift by improving access to convenient charging, including along long-distance travel corridors. Improvements in energy-dense batteries, efficient thermal management systems, power electronics, and lightweight vehicle designs are enabling manufacturers to introduce EV products that meet wider consumer requirements. As the market evolves, both plug-in hybrid and fully electric platforms are creating overlapping demand for components. This has increased the use of conventional powertrain parts alongside EV-specific solutions such as lithium iron phosphate battery packs, high-efficiency inverters, and advanced cooling systems. Automakers are therefore expanding model portfolios across vehicle sizes and body types while balancing affordability, performance, driving range, and reliability.

OEMs are making targeted investments to address cost and adoption challenges. For example, Tesla is expanding localized battery production with its Gigafactories in the US and Mexico, while Volkswagen is investing in software-driven energy management systems to optimize efficiency. Hyundai is building scalable EV platforms to serve multiple vehicle types across regions. These initiatives help improve cost structures and accelerate EV adoption by making vehicles more affordable and efficient. Partnerships between automakers and suppliers are also growing, helping to overcome supply chain disruptions, meet safety standards, and enhance performance. Combined with government incentives, tax credits, and increased consumer awareness, these developments are redefining mobility trends and reinforcing the long-term outlook for electric vehicles. The global electric 4-wheeler market is moving into a broader adoption phase, with more than 20 million electric cars sold in 2025 and EVs reaching 25% of global new car sales. Growth is increasingly supported by lower-cost models and expanding model availability, particularly in emerging markets, while regional performance remains closely linked to government incentives, emissions regulations, and local EV production. The availability of electric models is expanding rapidly, with nearly 1,000 electric car models available worldwide in 2025, representing around 40% of the approximately 2,500 car models available globally. The number of electric models increased by more than 25% in 2025, and the IEA expects global availability to exceed 1,100 models in 2026 based on announced OEM launches. Model availability is also expanding across larger vehicle segments, with SUVs accounting for around half of available electric models in 2025, supporting greater consumer choice and creating additional revenue opportunities in higher-value vehicle body types. India illustrates this transition, with electric car sales increasing 75% in 2025 to 165,000 units, while the number of electric models available in the country increased from 33 to 45.

According to the IEA, global electric vehicle sales are projected to account for 29% of total car sales worldwide in 2026, driven by a significant second-quarter surge and shifting consumer habits amid fluctuating global energy markets.

- More than 20 million electric cars were sold globally in 2025, representing 25% of new car sales. The important implication is that EVs are no longer limited to a small premium segment. Growth is increasingly being supported by greater model availability, improving affordability, and stronger competition among manufacturers.

- Electric car sales outside these three major markets reached 2 million in 2025, up almost 50%. In emerging and developing economies excluding China, sales increased about 80%, largely because lower-cost Chinese EVs are expanding consumer access to electric cars.

- Europe illustrates the policy effect, with sales increasing more than 30% following the implementation of stricter EU CO2 standards. Germany also benefited from more affordable EV models, which contributed to a roughly 6% decline in average BEV prices. This suggests that future market expansion will depend not only on incentives but also on manufacturers' ability to offer cost-competitive EVs across mainstream vehicle segments.

BEV Growth Is Being Driven by Decreasing Battery Cost and Increasing Charging Performance and Powertrain Efficiency

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment is expected to remain the largest growth segment as improvements in battery economics and charging performance increasingly address the main technical barriers to mass adoption. Battery cost is becoming a stronger enabler, with global EV battery deployment increasing almost 30% to 1.2 TWh in 2025, while average battery prices declined 8%. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), LFP batteries accounted for more than 55% of global EV battery deployment in 2025, up from nearly 50% in 2024. The increasing adoption of LFP is supported by its lower material costs and reduced dependence on nickel and cobalt, making the chemistry increasingly important for cost-competitive mass-market BEVs. Charging performance is also becoming a competitive differentiator, reducing the need for oversized battery packs to deliver practical driving range. In March 2026, BYD introduced its second-generation Blade Battery with FLASH Charging, supporting 10% to 97% charging in 9 minutes at up to 1,500 kW, alongside plans for 20,000 FLASH charging stations in China by the end of 2026. Battery technology is also moving toward higher energy density and faster charging, with CATL unveiling in April 2026 a next-generation battery supporting a 1,000 km range and a Shenxing battery capable of charging from 10% to 98% in under seven minutes. BEV growth is increasingly being supported by lower battery costs, higher energy density, faster charging, and improved powertrain efficiency, allowing OEMs to improve vehicle usability without relying solely on larger battery capacities.

Passenger Cars Remain the Core EV Segment as Platform Economics and Technology Improve

The passenger car segment is expected to retain the largest share of the electric vehicle market, supported by the increasing economic and technical competitiveness of EV platforms. Battery cost, charging speed, vehicle efficiency, and platform scalability are becoming the main factors influencing OEM investment and product deployment. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electric car sales exceeded 20 million units in 2025, representing 25% of new car sales, while BEVs increased their share of electric car sales to 65%. The technology focus is shifting toward higher energy density, faster charging, lower vehicle weight, and more efficient electric powertrains, allowing OEMs to improve range without continuously increasing battery capacity. BMW's 2026 Neue Klasse platform illustrates this transition, with its sixth-generation eDrive technology using an 800-volt architecture, cell-to-pack battery integration, and cylindrical cells with 20% higher cell-level energy density. The BMW iX3 can add up to 372 km of range in 10 minutes at a 400 kW charger, while the new BMW i3 is designed for up to 900 km of range and 400 km of added range in 10 minutes.

Ultra-fast charging is also becoming a vehicle platform differentiator. In March 2026, BYD introduced its second-generation Blade Battery and FLASH Charging system, supporting charging power of up to 1,500 kW, with a 10% to 97% charge in nine minutes. BYD also planned 20,000 FLASH charging stations in China by the end of 2026, linking vehicle battery capability with dedicated high-power charging infrastructure. The regulatory environment is reinforcing passenger car electrification, particularly in Europe.
