Valentina copper deposit

Atacama Region, Chile · Underground

Under Development
CopperSilver
Opened
1953-01-01
Overview
The Valentina project is a high-grade copper-silver deposit located in the coastal range of the Atacama Region, Chile. It is part of Hot Chili Limited's El Fuego project, which is a component of the larger Costa Fuego Copper-Gold Project. Current activities are focused on resource definition and exploration to assess its potential as a satellite high-grade ore source for the Costa Fuego development.
Processing
Metallurgical test work has indicated the ore is amenable to flotation. The intention is for ore from El Fuego to be processed through a central plant as part of the integrated Costa Fuego hub.
Equipment
Exploration activities have utilised drill rigs, including diamond drill (DD) and Reverse Circulation (RC) rigs. At one point, two drill rigs were in operation across the Valentina and San Antonio deposits.
Expansion
Hot Chili Limited has moved to secure 100% ownership of the Valentina landholdings through a renegotiated option agreement termed the "El Fuego Option", which is exercisable in September 2026. Previously, the company had an agreement to acquire a 90% interest.

CopperGoldSilver
Opened
1964-01-01
Overview
This historic underground mine has reportedly produced approximately 2 million tonnes of ore at a grade of 2% copper and 0.3 g/t gold since mining began in 1964. The mineralisation is associated with a sequence of moderately east-dipping sandstone and limestone/andesite units with extensive skarn alteration. Hot Chili is conducting drilling programs to define and upgrade the resource, with the aim of incorporating it into the larger Costa Fuego development plan as a potential open-pit operation.

The production target for the Cortadera portion of the project is based on 45% of the material from Probable Ore Reserves and 67% from Indicated Mineral Resources.
Processing
Ore from Cortadera is planned to be transported to a central processing facility via a rope conveyor. The centralised processing facilities for the Costa Fuego project will include a 20.7 Mtpa sulphide concentrator and a 4 ktpa cathode solvent extraction, electrowinning (SX-EW) plant. The processing will utilise raw sea water, which will be extracted from a permitted coastal location 60 km from the plant. Metallurgical testwork has indicated weighted recoveries for Cortadera and San Antonio of 82% for copper, 55% for gold, 82% for molybdenum, and 37% for silver.
Equipment
truck and shovel operations, rope conveyor
Expansion
Cortadera is the centrepiece of Hot Chili's larger Costa Fuego copper-gold project, which also includes the Productora and San Antonio deposits. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) was completed in March 2025. An Environmental Impact Assessment for Costa Fuego was planned for submission in 2025.

Lualaba Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo · Underground

Feasibility
Copper
Overview
The Western Foreland Exploration Project is located in the Lualaba Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adjacent to the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex. The project consists of a licence package covering 2,393 square kilometres. Ivanhoe Mines holds a 54% to 100% interest in these licences. It is focused on the exploration for sedimentary copper discoveries, with significant drilling programs underway to define and expand high-grade copper discoveries, including Makoko, Kiala, and Kitoko. Infrastructure development has included over 105 kilometres of new and refurbished all-season access roads and new camp facilities.
Equipment
up to 11 drill rigs are deployed
Expansion
Targeting an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Makoko District in the second quarter of 2026. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the development of the mining areas is planned to follow the release of mineral resource estimates. The discoveries at Western Foreland could potentially supply ore to the nearby Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex or support a standalone processing facility in the future.
