The year has seen the Company consolidate its position as one of the leading emerging copper companies on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This is no simple task, given the discovery of our flagship Productora Copper Project in Chile is not yet three years old and we have achieved this against strong head winds in global equity markets. Despite these challenges, Hot Chili has delivered another year of strong growth from its Chilean project portfolio while laying solid foundations for the establishment of a new Australian mid- tier copper company on the world stage. This has been through sheer persistence and hard work from our Company’s talented team to rapidly grow a centre of new high quality copper assets along the Chilean coastal range. Our flagship project La Productora (The Producer), has lived up to its name and continues to produce strong growth for Hot Chili. Over the past year we near doubled our resources at Productora to just under one million tonnes of copper metal and 600,000 ounces of gold from surface. At the same time Hot Chili also gave the go-ahead to Pre-feasibility studies at Productora following the successful completion of a Scoping study, indicating the potential for a low-cost, long-life copper operation to be established within an infrastructure rich area of Chile’s coastal range. While delivering on our growth milestones this year, the Company’s dedication towards aggressive drilling continues to pay-off in outlining further growth at Productora. The central area of the Productora project has continued to return higher grade drilling intersections within areas likely to have big impacts on our ambitions to establish the project as our first copper production source in Chile. The Company’s aim to establish a copper production hub centred around Productora took a major step forward when the Company announced the discovery of its second major copper-gold project at Frontera, 70km directly south of Productora. While only early in our drilling assessment, Frontera is shaping to be a major growth project that may support Productora in delivering a future targeted annual production that would position Hot Chili as one of the largest potential future copper producers on the ASX. These achievements and those that are being targeted in the coming year have been made possible by our strong funding support, principally from Hot Chili’s largest strategic shareholders. Particularly pleasing has been the support and cooperation of Chilean resources major CAP S.A. towards advancing Productora towards development. The two companies are studying joint infrastructure and other potential operational synergies, that if successfully negotiated have the potential to leverage Hot Chili towards production in half the average time taken for the development of other large-scale copper projects in the world. I would like to thank the efforts of my fellow directors and our loyal and dedicated team who have worked tirelessly to ensure our shareholders are invested in one of the stand-out emerging copper companies in the mid-tier space. Murray Edward Black Non-Executive Chairman 2 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 3 “... building a large scale copper business...” Projects Overview Hot Chili has assembled a portfolio of four large copper projects in the world class iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) belt of the Chilean coastal range. All of these projects lie to the north of Santiago, are close to existing coastal infrastructure and lie at low altitude (<1,000m elevation). A second major copper-gold project was secured at Frontera where first drilling undertaken by Hot Chili has confirmed a large copper-gold porphyry discovery from surface Hot Chili continues to develop and strengthen its relationships with key Chilean partners Compañía Minera del Pacífico S.A. (CMP – Chile’s largest iron ore producer) and CODELCO (the world’s largest copper producer). Importantly, Hot Chili and CMP have executed two non-binding letters of intent to negotiate a joint infrastructure and an iron exploitation option to assist in the development of the Productora Copper Project. Chilean resources major CAP S.A. (CAP) is CMP’s parent company and is also Hot Chili’s major shareholder and strategic project partner at Productora. The majority of Hot Chili’s activities were focussed towards the development of its flagship Productora Copper Project, one of Chile’s fastest emerging large-scale coastal copper projects. In addition the Company continued to advance its portfolio of coastal copper projects and add further to its project landholdings in Chile. In less than three years since listing the Company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Hot Chili has transitioned from explorer to project developer through the emergence of a large-scale copper discovery at Productora. The Company is now positioned as one of the leading emerging copper companies on the ASX. Hot Chili is fast-tracking the advancement of Productora as its principal development project while undertaking exploration work at its other projects. Hot Chili’s project pipeline and project advancement strategy is summarised in Table 1 below. Table 1.

The project is located 15km south of the town of Vallenar, at low altitude (less than 1,000m), in Chile’s Region III. The project benefits greatly from its proximity to existing high quality infrastructure including the Pan-American Highway, rail, grid power, and established port facilities (40km distance) as shown in Figure 2. Since drilling commenced in August 2010, the Company has completed over 180,000m of drilling and outlined a large-scale, bulk tonnage copper- gold-molybdenum deposit amenable to open pit mining. In February 2013, the Company announced a resource upgrade estimate that covers a 7.5 kilometre strike extent at the Productora project. The announcement represents a near-doubling of the Productora JORC compliant resource estimate to now stand at 165.2Mt grading 0.6% copper, 0.1g/t gold and 132ppm molybdenum (0.7% copper equivalent) for 920,000 tonnes of copper, 580,000 ounces of gold, 22,000 tonnes of molybdenum (1,230,000 tonnes of copper equivalent). The resource is enhanced by a growing component of higher grade, near-surface material now equating to 53Mt grading 0.8% copper and 0.2g/t gold. This material presents an opportunity for potential higher- grade early production at Productora. Exploration and extensional drilling has confirmed that a further 2km of strike extensions remain at Productora as well as a large zone of ore potential along the eastern flank of the central resource area. A 100,000 metre drilling programme commenced in early 2013 to achieve a second major resource upgrade by late in the year. Hot Chili has continued to release a series of strong drilling results throughout 2013 in advance of this next growth milestone. Copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation at Productora is predominantly hosted in a structurally focused breccia and fracture network developed within a larger body of hydrothermal K-feldspar- tourmaline magnetite breccia. Structurally-focused mineralised breccia zones are evident trending broadly sub-parallel to the Productora fault zone. North plunging high-grade internal shoots are evident within a gently north-plunging mineralised envelope. Sulphides comprise pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite developed as breccia, vein and cavity fill, as well as disseminations within the brecciated host rocks. This sulphide distribution creates centimetre to metre-scale higher-grade patches enclosed by moderate-grade disseminated sulphide minerals. Hot Chili continues to progress its strategy of project development and de-risking, in parallel with an on-going focus on resource growth for the Productora Copper Project. In early 2013, the Company announced the successful completion of a Scoping study into the development of a large mining operation at Productora. The Scoping study concluded that conventional open pit, blast and haul mining methods will be suitable for mining the Productora Copper Project. The planned central pit development contains a large continuous block of resources that is the focus for initial mine design to underpin a nominal processing throughput range of 8-12Mtpa. Metallurgical test work has demonstrated that conventional processing including crushing, grinding and flotation will be suitable for the recovery of copper, gold and potentially molybdenum minerals. Initial indications are that high copper and gold recoveries (>90%, ~80% respectively) may be achieved with a relatively coarse grind size of 180um. The study considered sea water processing to produce a high quality copper concentrate that would support a potential long-life, low cost copper operation at Productora. The company formally commenced a Pre-feasibility study over Productora immediately following the favourable findings of the Scoping Study. Leading engineering and project development group Ausenco, who successfully managed the Scoping study, have been commissioned to manage the Pre- feasibility study in conjunction with Hot Chili’s own development team. 6 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Huasco Port Infrastructure Major projects/mines Power substations Major town Port/Maritime Concession Fe Pellet Plant Rail Power Transmission lines Sealed Roads 0km 10km 20km Vallenar Productora Figure 2. Productora project location and associated coastal infrastructure position Frontera Copper Project NW Surface SE The Frontera project lies 70km directly south of Productora in Region IV of Chile and is located adjacent to the Pan-American Highway and existing power transmission corridor. Frontera is a relatively advanced exploration stage project with several historical drill holes and a small-scale, historical, copper-oxide open pit within the project. Drilling completed by Noranda in the 1990’s indicated the presence of a large copper-gold porphyry system, with a +2 kilometre footprint at surface. During the year, Hot Chili completed an extensive amount of detailed geological mapping and rock- chip sampling in preparation for a preliminary drilling assessment of the project. Drilling at Frontera commenced in early February of 2013, culminating in approximately 16,000m of drilling being complete by mid-2013. First results returned from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Frontera included 348m grading 0.4% copper and 0.3g/t gold, which included 162m grading 0.5% copper and 0.3g/t gold; and 256m grading 0.5% copper and 0.3gpt gold.

Cross-section of Frontera Copper Project displaying significant drilling intersections The drilling results confirmed the discovery of second major copper-gold project for Hot Chili, immediately doubling the potential of the company. Frontera adds substantially to Hot Chili’s longer term objective of establishing a multi-project Chilean coastal copper production hub, leveraged to existing infrastructure. The company anticipates a resource estimate for Frontera to be released in the second half of 2013. “ The drilling results confirmed the discovery of second major copper-gold project for Hot Chili, immediately doubling the potential of the company.” HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 7 Review of Operations Banderas Copper Project The Banderas Copper Project is located at low altitude (<1,000m) approximately 50km north of Hot Chili’s Productora project, adjacent to the Pan American highway in Region III of Chile. The project is at an early exploration stage and has seen some historical, small-scale, copper mining within an extensive, large-scale alteration system. Extensive mapping and surface sampling programmes continued throughout the year and have now identified several high-priority targets within the core area of the project. These targets comprise historical high-grade copper underground workings, outcropping surface mineralisation and large surface geochemical anomalies which have not previously been drill tested. Further exploration assessment of the project is scheduled for the second half of 2013, prior to the planned commencement of a maiden campaign of drilling early in 2014. Geological mapping and sampling of the Banderas project has found the mapped area to be dominated by andesite volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks with a sedimentary sequence to the west. The dominant structural trend is a north-northeast to south- southwest trending foliation. This trend is cut by east- west to southwest-northeast trending brittle faults. Mineralisation is structurally hosted in narrow quartz, carbonate breccia veins. Copper is associated with bornite and chalcopyrite where observed. The work completed at Banderas Copper Project can be seen in Figure 4. First-pass drilling over Hot Chili’s original land position at Los Mantos produced several significant results. One of those drill results returned a wide, high-grade drilling intersection totalling 36m grading 1.4% copper and 0.2g/t gold from 49m down-hole, refer to Figure 5. Late in 2012 the Company significantly increased the size of its Los Mantos Copper Project under a joint venture earn-in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of CODELCO, the world’s largest copper producer. The agreement represents the early stages of Hot Chili’s strategy to significantly expand the size of its Los Mantos Copper Project and build a substantial exploration land position immediately adjacent to Teck’s large-scale Andacolla copper-gold operation. Figure 6 displays Hot Chili’s expanded landholding at the Los Mantos Copper Project. During early 2013, Hot Chili completed an airborne geophysical survey over the expanded Los Mantos project area to assist with geological assessment. The aeromagnetic and radiometric geophysical survey will be used in conjunction with surface mapping and geochemical sampling to define prospective target areas within the expanded project area. It is expected that drill targeting exercises for the Los Mantos project will occur in 2014 following completion of a regional soil geochemical programme. 354,000 356,000 Hot Chili intends to explore the potential at Banderas to discover and delineate higher grade copper resources as an additional supply source to a copper production hub centred around Productora. 0 0 0 , 4 8 8 , 6 Legend Lithology Crystic felsic rock Fault Zone Diorite Porphyritic Intermediate Intrusive Porphyritic Intermedaite volcanic Andesite Andesitic dyke Andesite (magnetite rich) Andesite megacrystic Intermediate volcaniclastic breccia Limestone Andesitic sediments Mineralisation ^_ Mines Los Mantos Copper Project The Los Mantos project is located in Region IV, Chile approximately 60km south of La Serena. The project is at an advanced exploration stage with an operating small-scale mine, and extensive historical underground and surface development. Hot Chili have delivered a series of positive drill results across a 1.5km strike extent, successfully intersecting multiple zones of shallow, moderate width, multi-commodity copper mineralisation. Drilling completed by the company in 2011 confirmed the potential of the Los Mantos project to host significant breccia-hosted bulk-tonnage copper- gold mineralisation, and highlights the strength of the company’s future project pipeline. The company intends to progress activities at Los Mantos to deliver another successful coastal range Chilean copper discovery and future development opportunity. 0 0 0 , 2 8 8 , 6 0 0 0 , 0 8 8 6 , ³ 0 0.25 0.5 1 Kilometers 354,000 356,000 Figure 4.

The central resource was confined to the central lease area, equating to 1.4km of strike extent of the Productora Copper Project. The updated resource estimate extends the central area resource to the north and south, and accounts for the definition of at-surface copper resources over a strike extent of approximately 7.5km, as depicted in Figure 7. Further resource potential remains within the 7.5km of strike extent with several areas of the resource remaining open along strike, on the eastern and western flanks, and at depth. The mineral resource estimate for Productora now stands at 165.2Mt grading 0.6% copper, 0.1g/t gold and 132g/t molybdenum for 920,000 tonnes of copper, 590,000 ounces of gold and 22,000 tonnes of molybdenum. The mineral resource estimate was completed by independent consultants Coffey Mining Pty Ltd and is summarised in Table 2. The resource estimate includes all RC and DD drilling results returned from outside of the central resource area since August 2011. The resource has been estimated in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2004). The resource contains a larger proportion of Indicated material than the first resource estimate, with approximately 43% of the resource estimate now comprising Indicated material and 57% Inferred material. The majority of the Indicated resource lies within the first 250m from surface. 12 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 ) M 1 x ( s e n n o T 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 474.3 0.77 0.60 0.67 0.48 216.3 0.56 165.2 0.30 135.1 tonnage grade Cu% 94.9 53.0 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 Cut-off Grade (Cu%) 0.90 0.80 0.70 0.60 0.50 0.40 0.30 0.20 0.10 0.00 ) % u C ( e d a r G Figure 7.

Productora Resource Upgrade 1 oblique long section displaying mineralisation over a 7.5 kilometre strike extent A nominal +0.3% copper grade shell model was utilised to constrain the block model resource estimation. The average depth of the resource estimate base is approximately 400m from surface. In addition, a low grade +0.1% copper grade shell model was also utilised to calculate the quantity of low-grade material that exists in the surrounding breccia hosting corridor. The company’s recently completed scoping study indicated a potential future marginal economic cut-off grade for Productora to be approximately +0.2% copper. It is important to note that the low grade material surrounding the resource may add further to the definition of additional potential in-pit tonnage at Productora. The resource is significantly enhanced by the presence of two substantial zones of high grade material located within the planned central pit development at Productora. This material now equates to approximately 53Mt grading 0.8% copper and 0.2g/t gold from surface. Mineralisation at Productora has remained consistently associated with a series of vertical lodes and some minor sub-horizontal lodes within a felsic volcanic country rock which has been extensively intruded by a tourmaline breccia along the main mineralised north-east trend. Sulphide ore mineralogy comprises pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite and olybdenite developed as breccia, vein and cavity fill, as well as disseminations within the brecciated host rocks. Within the oxide zone copper is predominantly associated with malachite. The identification of a second, near-surface zone of high grade copper and gold as part of the first resource upgrade has continued to enhance the economic potential of the project. The new zone is located within the CCHEN South area and equates to 24.9Mt grading 0.8% copper and 0.2g/t gold from shallow depth as illustrated in Figure 9. This area has the potential to act as a starter-pit location that may allow access to higher revenue material at the beginning of potential future mining operations. The resource extends from surface with transitional and sulphide material dominant and accessible from near-surface owing to the limited distribution of surface oxide material over the deposit. Figure 10 displays a type-section of the resource in the CCHEN South area. Second Resource Upgrade Planned – Large Extensional Drilling Programme Underway Hot Chili has commenced a major extensional drilling programme at Productora for 2013, comprising 85,000m RC and 15,000m of DD drilling. The drilling will focus on the immediate extensions that have been confirmed along the eastern margin of the central area of the Productora resource for over 2km. The addition of any new resources along the eastern or western margins of the resource and located within the planned central pit development has the potential to rapidly add in-pit tonnes to the project from areas previously considered waste in the company Scoping study. A second major resource upgrade for the Productora Copper Project is planned after completion of the drilling program. 14 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 continuedHOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 15 Productora Copper Project Figure 9.

Significant intersections have been received from shallow positions both in extensional areas and in-fill areas of the central resource area of Productora. Drill results returned from the eastern flank of Productora in have recorded some impressive intersections including 64m grading 1.5% copper and 0.4g/t gold from 124m down-hole. Recent results have continued to define the eastern flank of the central resource area as a very significant addition to Productora’s forthcoming resource upgrade. To date, extensions being defined along the eastern flank have consistently highlighted higher-grade copper and gold mineralisation. High grade drilling results have also been recorded from the southern area of the planned central pit development at Productora including 48m grading 1.2% copper and 0.2g/t gold from 42m down-hole and open to end of hole. The result was from a QA/QC drill hole that was completed to twin an earlier high-grade drilling intersection of 12m grading 1.7% copper and 0.2g/t gold recorded in 2012 from within the resource. The drill result confirmed the location of the high- grade material and in addition recorded twice the length of intersection with the new drill hole ending in 25m grading 1.9% copper and 0.2g/t gold.

Significant drill results are depicted in plan (Figure 12) and cross section (Figure 13). The location of the eastern and western flanks of the planned central pit area are displayed on Figure 14. The Central Lease also contains a large amount of the high grade, shallow component of the Productora resource. The decision by Hot Chili to exercise its purchase option over the Central Lease finalises the Company’s last major commitment at Productora. Iron Ore Resource Definition at Productora in 2013 Strategic Alignment of CMP and Hot Chili at Productora A drilling programme comprising approximately 20,000m of RC is also planned to assess two large zones of magnetite identified within the Productora landholding. The parallel magnetite zone lies immediately along the western flank of the Productora copper-gold-molybdenum resource with a component of the potential iron zone likely to be within the western waste-rock wall of the Company’s planned pit development as displayed in Figure 14. The Western magnetite zone is approximately 6km in strike extent within Hot Chili’s 100%-owned landholdings on the western extent of the project. Preliminary drilling undertaken by Hot Chili has confirmed the presence of a very large, shallowly dipping magnetite zone from surface. The definition of iron ore resources for the Productora project is a parallel stream of work aimed at facilitating further co- operation with Hot Chili’s major shareholder and strategic project partner Compañia de Aceros del Pacifico (CAP) and its operating subsidiary Compañía Minera del Pacífico S.A. (CMP). In July 2012, CMP and Hot Chili executed two non-binding Letters of Intent (LOI) to co-operate on technical studies and commence negotiation for a joint infrastructure and iron production option for the Productora Copper Project. Any such future development of an additional iron source in such close proximity to CMP’s existing iron processing and transport network (Figure 15) has the potential to add significantly to CMP’s current production expansion at its existing operations. It also has the potential to add another valuable revenue stream to Productora. Completion of Project Consolidation – Purchase of Central Lease at Productora In February 2013 Hot Chili exercised its purchase option over a major component of the recently expanded resource at the Company’s Productora Copper Project in Chile. Hot Chili now holds a 100% interest in the Central Lease (Productora 1/16) at Productora, containing over half of the projects established resources and lying within the Company’s planned central pit development. CAP is the parent company of Compañía Minera del Pacífico S.A. (“CMP”), Chile’s largest iron ore producer and integrated steel business. CMP produces concentrate and iron ore pellets, fines and lumps. Its mining properties and principal deposits, processing plants and projects are in the third and forth region of the country’s iron ore belt district in northern Chile. CAP also owns all the shares in Chile’s largest steel producer, located in the southern city of Talcahuano. Mitsubishi is a 19.3% shareholder of CAP and 25% shareholder of CMP as at December 31, 2012. Importantly, CMP is a major partner in Productora which lies in the heart of CMP’s existing coastal infrastructure, including rail, port, easement corridor, magnetite concentrator and iron pellet plant, which should facilitate project implementation. In July 2012, Hot Chili executed two non-binding Letters of Intent with CMP to negotiate a joint infrastructure and iron exploitation option for the development of Productora. Such negotiation could result in substantial operational synergies for the two companies. Negotiation of a joint infrastructure agreement would provide the Productora Copper Project with the potential to be established in a shorter timeframe and at a lower start-up capital cost than other comparable large-scale emerging copper projects. In addition, any future development of an additional iron source in such close proximity to CMP’s existing iron processing and transport network has the potential to add significantly to CMP’s current production expansion at its existing operations. The two companies are working towards finalising formal agreements on an infrastructure and iron exploitation option for the development of Productora. On 10 July 2013, Hot Chili announced an A$11.7 million capital raising, which was strongly supported by CAP. In association with the raising, the Company also announced the appointment of CAP executive Mr Roberto de Andraca Adriasola to the board of Hot Chili as a Non-Executive Director. The appointment of Mr Andraca Adriasola is a strong indication of the commitment by both companies, in co-operation, to advance the Productora Copper Project towards development. Hot Chili and CAP are currently investigating other potential avenues in which to co-operate in the development of Productora for the benefit of both companies. HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 19 Productora Copper Project 4. Metallurgical test work has demonstrated that conventional processing including crushing, grinding and floatation will be suitable for the recovery of copper, gold and potentially molybdenum minerals. Initial indications are that high copper and gold recoveries (>90%, ~80% respectively) may be achieved with a relatively coarse grind size of 180um. The ore is classified as hard, though this is somewhat offset by course liberation characteristics of the copper and gold minerals. Initial test work has demonstrated that concentrates containing in excess of >25% copper may be produced with two stages of cleaning. The following key infrastructure areas were reviewed during the Scoping study: . Power – an extensive high-voltage distribution network exists within the Vallenar region with the major sub-station (Maitencillo) to the central grid just 17km from Productora. Initial indications are that a 25km high-voltage line will be required to connect the site to the central grid. A number of options will be considered through the PFS process. . Water – Sea water processing has been assessed for Productora. It is anticipated that sea water will be delivered to site through a ~56km pipeline that will draw water from an intake facility located close to the Huasco port facility. . Accommodation – it is anticipated that construction and operational staff will be housed in the town of Vallenar which has a population of circa 50,000. . Port – several ports are within a reasonable trucking distance from the site, the closest being the Huasco port, which is 60km to the west and serviced by sealed roads. Hot Chili, in co-operation with CMP, is assessing the construction of a potential copper concentrate loading facility at Huasco port. . Road – the Pan American highway is located 5km to the east of the proposed project site. . Rail – existing CMP rail infrastructure runs parallel to the project immediately to the east and west of the resource. Development Studies During the year Hot Chili continued to progress its strategy of project development and de-risking, in parallel with an on-going focus on resource growth for the Productora Copper Project. In February 2013, the Company gave a go- ahead to the commencement of Pre-feasibility studies following the successful completion of a Scoping Study for Productora. The Productora Pre-feasibility study continues to assess the establishment of an open cut mining operation, a copper concentrator processing facility and other associated infrastructure. The study is managed by Ausenco, with the support from a number of specialised consultants both in Chile and Australia. Conventional open pit, blast and haul mining methods will be suitable for mining the Productora Copper Project. The planned central pit development contains a large continuous block of resources that will be the focus for mine design. The updated resource has highlighted near surface, high-grade material that presents an opportunity to “high- grade” the early production. The concept mining study indicated strip ratios in the range of 3.5-4.5:1. Initial indications are that both ore and waste are reasonably competent. Further work is expected to reduce strip ratios. This will include: 1. 2. 3. Further resource drilling to target mineralisation along the eastern flank of the resource currently classified as waste; Assessing the addition of a parallel zone of magnetite that looks likely to lie within the western waste-rock wall of the planned central pit development; Addition of further economic low-grade tonnes. Mining studies completed as part of the conceptual/ scoping studies indicated a preliminary marginal cut-off grade of 0.2% copper. A substantial amount of lower grade material surrounds the +0.3% mineral resource estimate within the planned future pit development; and 20 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 continuedTable 3.

The location of drilling completed and preliminary interpretation of copper-gold distribution is summarised in Figures 16, 17 and 18. Figure 16. Frontera geological mapping, rock chip sampling and drillhole locations In July 2013 the company completed its first pass drill assessment of the Frontera project. A total of 16,000m of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DD) drilling was designed to test an average of 300 metres vertical at the Frontera Copper Project. Broad zones of copper and gold mineralisation were intersected from surface in several of the drill holes completed by Hot Chili. Copper and gold grades recorded in the initial drill holes were higher than expected, confirming a potentially large future production source in the vicinity of the Company’s flagship Productora Copper Project. A series of outstanding drill results were reported including 256m at 0.5% copper and 0.3g/t gold, and 188m @ 0.5% Cu and 0.4g/t Au (from surface). Mineralisation at Frontera is hosted within an andesitic volcanic/volcaniclastic pile intruded by multiple phases of variably hornblende-rich dioritic porphyry intrusions. Best drilling results at Frontera have been returned from a potassic alteration zone characterised by intense veining and biotite- magnetite alteration. Copper is associated with finely disseminated chalcopyrite, vein-related chalcopyrite and bornite. Mineralisation at Frontera displays encouragingly high copper-gold ratios where bornite is locally present in higher grade zones within the deposit. Frontera exhibits classic copper-gold porphyry characteristics and is located within a linear trend of porphyry intrusions which include the Dos Amigos copper-gold mine (approximately 10km NNE of Frontera). All results for the first-pass drilling programme have now been received and confirm the discovery of a large copper-gold porphyry deposit. Given the location of Frontera in relation to Productora, the project may offer Hot Chili a potential second large ore source that would benefit significantly from existing infrastructure. 22 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 1200m RL 1050m RL 900m RL 750m RL Figure 17.

Importantly, these parties together with Hot Chili control 100% of the strike extent of defined mineralisation within this land position including the central mining lease of Productora which contains an operating underground copper mine. Importantly, in February 2013, Hot Chili exercised its right to purchase of the Central Lease (Productora 1/16). Hot Chili now holds a 100% interest in the Central Lease (Productora 1/16) at Productora, containing over half of the projects established resources and lying within the Company’s planned central pit development. The decision by Hot Chili to exercise its purchase option over the Central Lease finalises the Company’s last major purchase commitment at Productora. Purchase of the Central Lease followed the company’s decision to give the go-ahead for full Pre-feasibility studies. Hot Chili has also successfully acquired further tenements along the western and southern extension to the Productora project. The new tenements expand the area of the Productora project, providing further up-side to Hot Chili’s plans to delineate and develop significant copper-gold- molybdenum resources at the project. Hot Chili has established close working relationships with both government and private stakeholders, of particular note is the major local partnership with CMP (Chile’s largest iron ore producer).

Banderas project tenement plan HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 35 Tenement Schedule and Details Los Mantos Tenement Details Los Mantos is located, at low altitude (<1,000m elevation), in the coastal range of Region IV, Chile, 240km south of Hot Chili´s flagship project Productora and immediately adjacent to Teck’s large-scale Andacolla copper-gold operation. The Los Mantos project comprises 71 licences in total, and the landholding now covers an area of more than 10,000ha. Hot Chili, through its Chilean subsidiary company Sociedad Minera El Aguila (SMEAL), has entered into a five year option agreement for the 100% purchase of the Los Mantos project. The private purchase-option agreement with local Chilean landholder and mine operator Mr. Aldo Cordero Godoy was executed on 11 June 2009, with the payment of US$220,000. The right to purchase 100% of the Aldo Cordero concession is exercisable at any time within the five year option period following satisfaction of all remaining yearly option payments and an exercise payment of US$2,000,000. Late in 2012 Hot Chili significantly increased the size of its Los Mantos copper project in Chile under a farm-in agreement with Compañia Contractual Minera Los Andes (CCMLA), a subsidiary of the Chilean major CODELCO, the world’s largest copper producer. The agreement represents the start of Hot Chili’s efforts to significantly expand the size of its Los Mantos copper project and build a substantial exploration land position immediately adjacent to Teck’s large-scale Andacollo copper-gold operation. Under the agreement Hot Chili can earn up to 60% of an additional 10,000 hectares at Los Mantos over six years. Under the terms of the 60% earn-in Joint Venture (JV) between CCMLA, a subsidiary of CODELCO, and Hot Chili’s 100% operating subsidiary Sociedad Minera El Aguila (SMEAL), the Company made an upfront payment of US$ 50,000 upon execution. In addition, Hot Chili will be required to commit to a minimum expenditure of US$2 million during the first five years of the earn-in phase including US$150,000 in the first year. During the sixth year of the JV agreement, Hot Chili also commits to completing a definitive feasibility study, adopt a Decision to Construct and pay the additional sum of US$100,000 in order to exercise the JV. Since 2011, Hot Chili has pursued discussions with CODELCO (through its subsidiary) to expand the Company’s planned future exploration activities to include CODELCO’s large landholding in the area.

The Board is committed to administering its corporate governance structures to promote integrity and responsible decision making. Board charter The Board has adopted a board charter. Under the board charter, the Board is responsible for the overall operation and stewardship of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in particular, is responsible for: a) setting the strategic direction of the Company, establishing goals to ensure that these strategic objectives are met and monitoring the performance of management against these goals and objectives; b) ensuring there are adequate resources available to meet the Company’s objectives; c) appointing the managing director and company secretary and chief financial officer of the Company; d) evaluating the performance and determining the remuneration of senior executives, and ensuring that appropriate policies and procedures are in place for recruitment, training, remuneration and succession planning; e) approving and monitoring financial reporting and capital management; f) approving and monitoring the progress of business objectives; g) ensuring that any necessary statutory licences are held and compliance measures are maintained to ensure compliance with the law and licences; h) ensuring that adequate risk management procedures exist and are being used; i) ensuring that the Company has appropriate corporate governance structures in place, including standards of ethical behaviour and a culture of corporate and social responsibility; j) ensuring that the Board is and remains appropriately skilled to meet the changing needs of the Company; and k) ensuring procedures are in place for ensuring the Company’s compliance with the law. Conflicts of interest In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the Board believes a significant conflict exists, the Director concerned will not receive the relevant papers and will not be present at the Board meeting whilst the matter is being considered. Independent professional advice In fulfilling their duties, each Director dealing with corporate governance matters may obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s expense, subject to prior approval of the Chairman, whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Corporate governance policies The Board has adopted the corporate governance policies described below. Copies of the policies are available on the Company’s website at: www.hotchili.net.au. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the implementation of additional orporate governance policies will be given further consideration. Code of conduct The Board believes that the success of the Company has been and will continue to be enhanced by a strong ethical culture within the organisation. The Company has established a corporate code of conduct (Code) which aims to develop a consistent understanding of, and approach to, the desired standards of conduct and behaviour with which the Directors, officers, managers, employees and consultants of the Company are expected to comply. 40 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 The Code sets out the Company’s policies on various matters, including the following: a) conflicts; b) fair dealing; c) company assets and property; d) computer, email and internet use; e) health, safety and environment; f) employment practices; and g) gifts and entertainment. In addition to their obligations under the Corporations Act in relation to inside information, all Directors, employees and consultants have a duty of confidentiality to the Company in relation to confidential information they possess. The Code also outlines the procedure for reporting any breaches of the Code and the possible disciplinary action the Company may take in respect of any breaches. Continuous disclosure policy The Company is a “disclosing entity” pursuant to Section 111AR of the Corporations Act and, as such, complies with the continuous disclosure requirements of Chapter 3 of the ASX Listing Rules and Section 674 of the Corporations Act. Subject to the exceptions contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Company is required to disclose to ASX any information concerning the Company which is not generally available and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares. The Company is committed to observing its disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and its obligations under the ASX Listing Rules. All relevant information provided to ASX will be posted on the Company’s website. The Company has adopted a continuous disclosure policy, the purpose of which is to: a) ensure that the Company, as a minimum, complies with its continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules and, as much as possible, seeks to achieve and exceed best practice; b) provide Shareholders and the market with timely, direct and equal access to information issued by the Company; and c) promote investor confidence in the integrity of the Company and its securities. Directors and Senior Executives of the Company may not deal in the Company’s securities without first notifying the Managing Director and the Company Secretary of the intention to trade. There is a blackout period of two weeks before the periodic reports are lodged with the ASX and twenty four hours after the reports are lodged, during which trading is prohibited. The Managing Director may not deal in the Company’s securities without prior approval of the Chairman, and notifying the Company Secretary of the intention to trade. The Company Secretary must be subsequently notified of any trade that has occurred. Shareholder communication policy The Company has adopted a shareholder communication policy which outlines the processes through which the Company will endeavour to ensure timely and accurate information is provided equally to all Shareholders and the broader market. The Company supports Shareholder participation in general meetings. Mechanisms for enabling Shareholder participation will be reviewed regularly to encourage the highest level of Shareholder participation. Risk management policy The Company has established a risk management policy, the purpose of which is to: a) provide a framework for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risk; b) communicate the roles and accountabilities of participants in the risk management system; and c) highlight the status of risks to which the Company is exposed, including any material changes to the Company’s risk profile. The Board is responsible for: a) risk management and oversight of internal controls; b) establishing procedures which provide assurance that business risks are identified, consistently assessed and adequately addressed; and c) for the overseeing of such procedures. The Board will review assessments of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control on an annual basis. Corporate governance – exceptions to ASX recommendations Securities dealing policy The Company has in place a securities dealing policy which sets out the requirements for all Directors, Executives, employees, contractors, consultants and advisers of the Company dealing in the Company’s securities. The Company sets out below its “if not why not” report in relation to those matters of corporate governance where the Company’s practice departs from the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (second edition) (Recommendations) to the extent that they are currently applicable to the Company. HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 41 Corporate Governance Statement Corporate Governance Procedures and Policies (continued) Recommendations 1.2 and 2.5 (process for evaluation) The Company does not have in place a formal process for evaluation of the Board, its committees, individual Directors and key executives. The small size of the Board and the nature of the Company’s activities make the establishment of a formal performance evaluation strategy unnecessary. Performance evaluation is a discretionary matter for consideration by the entire Board and in the normal course of events the Board will review performance of the management, Directors and the Board as a whole. Recommendation 2.1 (independent directors) At present, the Board does not comprise a majority of “independent directors”. There is one Director who satisfies the criteria for independence as outlined in Recommendation 2.1. Dr Allan Trench holds a small number of shares in the company and is not involved in the day-to-day management of the company. However, given the size and scope of the Company’s operations, the Board considers that it has the relevant experience in the exploration and mining industry and is appropriately structured to discharge its duties in a manner that is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders from both a long-term strategic and operational perspective. The Board intends to appoint further independent Non-Executive Directors as suitably qualified candidates are identified, and the size and scale of the Company’s operations determine. Recommendation 2.2 (independent chairman) The Chairman of the Company, Mr Murray Black, is not an independent director in accordance with the criteria for independence as outlined in Recommendation 2.1. However, given the size and scope of the Company’s operations, the Board considers that Mr Black has the relevant experience in the exploration and mining industry and his appointment as Chairman is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Recommendation 2.4 (nomination committee) The Board considers that, given the current size and scope of the Company’s operations, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee. The Board intends to reconsider the requirement for, and benefits of, a separate nomination committee as the Company’s operations grow and evolve. Recommendation 3.4 (gender diversity) The Company has a policy to employ the best available person for the position. Appointments are made on ability and availability, not necessarily on gender. However, the policy has enabled the Company to employ a Corporate Projects Manager, a Resource Development Manager, one Senior Geologist, one Junior Geologist and four administration staff and an engineer, who are women and comprise approximately 35% of all the staff and almost 50% of the technical staff. The Directors are aware of their responsibility to the community, the staff and the Company. Recommendations 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 (audit committee) There is no audit committee. The role of the audit committee is undertaken by the full Board, which comprises three (3) Non-Executive Directors and one (1) Executive Director. The Board considers that, given the current size and scope of the Company’s operations and that only one (1) Director holds an executive position in the Company, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate audit committee at present. As the Company’s operations grow and evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of forming a separate audit committee. Recommendation 8.1 (remuneration committee) The Company has not established a separate remuneration committee and does not have a formal remuneration policy in place. The role of the remuneration committee is undertaken by the full Board. The Board considers that, given its current size and that only one (1) Director holds an executive position in the Company, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate remuneration committee. There is no nomination committee. The full Board, which comprises four (4) Non-Executive Directors and one (1) Executive Director, considers the matters and issues that would fall to the nomination committee. As the Company’s operations grow and evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of forming a separate remuneration committee. 42 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 continuedDirectors’ Report Directors’ Report Your Directors have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 and the auditor’s report thereon.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 23 September 2013 by the Board of Directors. The functional and presentation currency of Hot Chili Limited is Australian Dollars. Compliance with IFRSs Australian Accounting Standards include AIFRS. Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements of Hot Chili Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2013. The consolidated entity’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. Reference Title Summary AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirement This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard has a new definition of ‘control’. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its ‘power’ over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. The consolidated entity will not only have to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2013 may have an impact where the consolidated entity has a holding of less than 50% in an entity, has de facto control, and is not currently consolidating that entity. These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013, with early adoption not permitted. They amend AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ by removing the disclosure requirements for individual key management personnel (‘KMP’). The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will remove the duplication of information relating to individual KMP in the notes to the financial statements and the directors report. As the aggregate disclosures are still required by AASB 124 and during the transitional period the requirements may be included in the Corporations Act or other legislation, it is expected that the amendments will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity. HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 57 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) a) Basis of preparation (continued) Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity of AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Hot Chili Limited and its controlled entities. Control exists where the consolidated entity has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with the consolidated entity to achieve the objectives of the consolidated entity. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits and losses have been eliminated on consolidation. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of the consolidated entities are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position respectively. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control commences. Where control ceases, de-consolidation occurs from that date. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Under this method, the consolidated entity’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Associates are those entities over which the consolidated entity exercises significant influence, but not control. Investments in subsidiaries are recognised at cost less impairment losses. 58 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Notes to the Financial Statementscontinuedc) Income tax The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Hot Chili Limited and its wholly-owned Chilean subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. d) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised for major business activities as follows: i) Interest Income Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. ii) Other Services Other debtors are recognised at the amount receivable and are due for settlement within 30 days from the end of the month in which services were provided. e) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the project area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 59 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) f) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and Equipment Depreciation Rate 10-33% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. g) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid, together with assets ordered before the end of the financial year. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. h) Equity-based payments Equity-based compensation benefits can be provided to Directors and Executives. The fair value of options granted to directors and executives is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in contributed equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the directors and/or executives becomes unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected divided yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 60 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Notes to the Financial Statementscontinuedi) Earnings per share i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. ii) Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. j) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. k) Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). l) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. m) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. n) GST Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated as inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

The consolidated entity manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the consolidated entity’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the consolidated entity’s financial targets while protecting future financial security. The main risks arising from the consolidated entity’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections. Risk Exposures and Responses a) Interest rate risk exposure The consolidated entity’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the consolidated entity’s cash balances and short-term deposits. The consolidated entity constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The consolidated entity’s cash balance is available at call and is held at a floating interest rate, all creditors and debtors are non-interest bearing and are payable and receivable on commercial terms. The consolidated entity has considered the sensitivity relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at reporting date. This analysis considers the effect on current year results and equity which could result in a change in this risk. Management have considered the potential impact on the profit and equity and considered that it would not be a material amount. b) Credit risk exposure Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the consolidated entity, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The consolidated entity’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the statement of financial position represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The consolidated entity does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The consolidated entity trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s policy to securities it trades and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the consolidated entity does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the consolidated entity. HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 73 23 Financial Risk Management (continued) Risk Exposures and Responses (continued) c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the consolidated entity and the consolidated entity’s subsequent ability to meet their obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and, the availability of funding through the ability to raise further equity or through related party entities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding through management of its cash resources. The consolidated entity has no financial liabilities at the year-end other than normal trade and other payables incurred in the general course of business. d) Fair values The fair values of the consolidated entity’s financial assets and liabilities are summarised in the table below: 2013 Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables 2012 Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables e) Foreign exchange risk Consolidated Entity Carrying amount $ Fair value $ 11,144,722 11,144,722 27,121 27,121 3,989,936 3,989,936 16,861,320 16,861,320 - - 435,712 435,712 The consolidated entity has considered the sensitivity relating to its exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date. This sensitivity analysis considers the effect on current year results and equity which could result in a change in the USD/AUD rate. The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its USD cash holdings at reporting date. The table below summarises the impact of +/– 10% strengthening/weakening of the AUD against the USD on the consolidated entities post tax profit for the year and equity. The analysis is based on a 10% strengthening/weakening of the AUD against the USD at reporting date with all other factors remaining equal. 2013 AUD/USD + 10% AUD/USD – 10% 2012 AUD/USD + 10% AUD/USD – 10% 74 HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Consolidated Entity Post tax profit $ 560,466 (560,466) Equity $ 560,466 (560,466) 1,662,178 1,662,178 (1,662,178) (1,662,178) Notes to the Financial Statementscontinued24 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The consolidated entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Recoverability of exploration expenditure The directors’ test annually whether the exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in identifiable areas of interest is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves and further work is expected to be performed. All expenditure that does not meet these criteria is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. 25 Parent Entity Disclosures Financial position Assets Current assets Non-current assets Total assets Liabilities Current liabilities Total liabilities Equity Issued capital Reserves Accumulated losses Total equity Financial performance Loss for the year Other comprehensive income Total comprehensive income 2013 $ 2012 $ 11,099,560 16,774,286 59,873,675 15,980,830 70,973,235 32,755,116 246,006 246,006 167,112 167,112 90,775,673 48,566,232 1,051,304 739,651 (21,099,748) (16,717,879) 70,727,229 32,588,004 (4,381,869) (2,894,482) - - (4,381,869) (2,894,482) HOT CHILI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 75 25 Parent Entity Disclosures (continued) Contingent liabilities of the parent entity The parent entity did not have any contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2013 or 30 June 2012.
