Overview
The Huasco Water Project is a water infrastructure initiative focused on the extraction, treatment, and transport of seawater and desalinated water for industrial use, primarily to support mining operations.
Production
The first stage of the project is designed to pump 500 litres of raw seawater per second. Future stages aim to expand capacity, with a second stage introducing the desalination plant to supply 1300 L/s, and a potential third stage to increase desalinated supply to 2300 L/s. There is an identified demand of over 4,000 L/s for desalinated water in the region.
Processing
extraction of seawater, followed by treatment and desalination using a reverse osmosis plant to produce water suitable for industrial use.
Equipment
seawater intake facilities, a modular reverse osmosis desalination plant, seven strategically located pumping stations, and a large-diameter pipeline system. The initial phase involves a single pipeline running 62km from the Pacific Ocean to the Costa Fuego copper-gold project.
Expansion
Future stages aim to expand capacity, with a second stage introducing the desalination plant to supply 1300 L/s, and a potential third stage to increase desalinated supply to 2300 L/s.

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.

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.
