Chairman’s Address - 2020 Annual General Meeting
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
Before beginning the formal part of the meeting, I would like to reflect on what a remarkable year 2020 has been.
This time last year I outlined Chalice’s aspiration to deliver a major greenfield mineral discovery for our shareholders.
Today, as you would all be well aware, I am very pleased to say that we have excelled in this objective with the remarkable discovery at the Julimar Project.
This achievement is made all the more satisfying because of its truly home-grown origins – being located right here in Western Australia and 100%-owned by a proud WA-based exploration company.
The outstanding successes of the year are a product of the collective efforts of the Chalice team, and I am very grateful to them and the families who support them.
Their ability to conceptualise and rapidly advance this globally significant discovery is the result of the outstanding creativity and expertise of our team.
All of this was achieved despite the unprecedented challenges presented this year by the COVID-19 pandemic. I am pleased to say that the Chalice team adapted quickly to this challenge and, most importantly, continued to remain safe and fully operational.
Despite these globally challenging times, it has been very fulfilling to see the Julimar discovery capture both industry and investor support across the globe.
Chalice’s achievements this year are also a reminder of the pivotal role which the mining industry has played in helping to steer Australia through this difficult period.
The events of this year have also reinforced the importance of Chalice’s core values and our commitment to doing the right thing. However, our values are only meaningful if they are acted upon – and the local communities and environment where we operate have become vital stakeholders for Chalice.
I will leave it to our Managing Director, Alex Dorsch, to talk in more detail about the exciting activities underway across our portfolio, but I must also make mention of our stunning growth in market capitalisation during the year.
The world-class multi-commodity discovery at Julimar has underpinned a 2,200% increase in the share price from this time last year.
The successes of the past year have set a very strong platform for Chalice to continue growing and – in the very capable hands of Alex and his team – we are all fully committed to the task.
Most importantly, I would like to thank our loyal shareholders for their patience over the years – which I am thrilled to see is now being rewarded.
Shareholders – we have another very exciting year ahead of us, and I look forward to ongoing success in 2021.
