Hot Chili Limited is an Australian mining company focused on developing a large copper project in Chile, South America. Its main asset is the Costa Fuego copper project, which combines several deposits into one of the larger undeveloped copper projects in the Americas. The company is in the exploration and development stage, meaning it is not yet producing or selling copper.

Because Hot Chili is pre-revenue, it does not earn money from selling copper yet. Instead, it raises funds through share issuances to pay for drilling, engineering studies, and project development. The company trades on the Australian Securities Exchange and also on the OTC market in the United States. Its competitive position depends heavily on the size and quality of the Costa Fuego resource, but the main risk is that developing a mine of this scale requires billions of dollars in financing that has not yet been secured, and copper prices can shift significantly before production ever begins.
