Chair’s Address – 2025 Annual General Meetin g
My name is Derek La Ferla, Chair of Chalice Mining, and on behalf of the Board and the entire Chalice team, I extend a very warm welcome to our 2025 Annual General Meeting.
I begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk/Noongar People, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we meet today, and of the land where our Gonneville Project is located. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Traditional Owners on whose lands Chalice conducts its activities.
It is pleasing to see so many shareholders joining us today. On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your continued support through what has been another volatile year, but also one of significant success and progress for Chalice.
Market context
I would first like to comment on current market conditions. In recent months, we have seen encouraging upwards movements in the palladium price, our key commodity at Gonneville. From cyclical lows earlier this year, palladium has rebounded strongly and is up around 60% year to date – a welcome development that reinforces in our minds the fundamentals of this incredibly scarce, critical precious metal.
Relevantly, it is important to note that in September, Chinese palladium imports reached a multi-year high, which clearly indicates growing demand and anxiety over the reliability of supply of this important metal by one of its largest consumers. It is pleasing to see that hybrid vehicle demand remains very strong, which has no doubt contributed to a tightening of the market.
Pleasingly, the broader sentiment around Platinum Group Metals (or PGMs) has improved markedly compared to this time last year, and we are optimistic that this trend will continue. With very few palladium development projects evident globally and many of the existing producers operating at a loss over the last couple of years, there is almost no ‘elasticity’ in supply – that is, even if we reach “incentive price” territory again, like we saw between 2020 and 2023, the supply response to higher prices is essentially non-existent or at the very least, significantly delayed.
Base metal prices are somewhat mixed and have not yet followed the broader rally in precious metals prices. We watch with interest the fiscal and regulatory policy settings in the largest nickel producing country - Indonesia, where ore prices are rising strongly and permit restrictions appear to be starting to constrain supply.
Overall, we now have a fundamentally stronger macro-economic environment and this provides an ideal backdrop for the advancement of our large-scale Gonneville palladium-nickel-copper Project here in WA.

Gonneville Project
Our 100%-owned Project is one of the largest undeveloped sources of these critical and strategic metals in the western world. It is uniquely positioned to become a major new producer of palladium, nickel, and copper, with valuable by-products from platinum, cobalt and gold.
With Russia and South Africa still accounting for the vast majority of global primary palladium production, Gonneville offers a strategically important and unique Western supply alternative.
Our Project’s significance has been recognised through the granting of both Strategic Project Status by the WA Government and Major Project Status by the Federal Government — an acknowledgment of Gonneville’s national importance to Australia’s critical minerals ambitions. We are very pleased by the interest levels and grateful for the support we have received to date from both Federal and State government agencies.
The major talking point this year was the metallurgical breakthrough achieved by our technical team, which eliminated the need for a complex, high-cost hydrometallurgical plant. For several years, we were unable to create a saleable nickel concentrate in our flotation testwork, but this all changed in early 2025. Thanks to the relentless efforts of our technical team, we delivered a breakthrough and achieved saleable nickel concentrate grade across the entire spectrum of Gonneville mineralisation samples.
The now dramatically simplified process flowsheet has reduced technical complexity and lowered both overall capital and operating costs – a truly transformational outcome for the Project.
This also has pivoted us back to a large-scale, bulk open-pit mining development plan, which we expect to now be incentivised even at bottom of the cycle metals prices.
The optimised Gonneville development plan now features a two-stage, bulk open-pit mining operation feeding a conventional flotation-leach process plant – a proven and industry standard configuration that we expect to deliver a second quartile industry cost profile and operate profitably through the commodity cycle.
As most of you will know, we will be completing our Pre-Feasibility Study in the coming weeks and look forward to sharing these outcomes with our shareholders. Chalice has made a significant investment in Gonneville to date, in the order of $240 million, and the PFS is the product of two years of hard work, persistence, iterations, optimisations and innovation. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Project team on reaching this milestone.
Our approvals process continues to advance in parallel with study progression, with power and water corridors identified, surveys and preliminary designs completed, and collaborative discussions underway with relevant government agencies.
Chalice remains committed to high sustainability standards – minimising environmental impact, supporting local communities, and working closely with Traditional Owners to protect and respect cultural heritage. We have a deep respect for the natural environment and we strongly believe that our Project can co-exist in harmony with the environment and the local community.
Our third Local Voices Survey, conducted earlier this year, again demonstrated strong community support and trust in the way Chalice operates.
We are also progressing our collaboration with Mitsubishi Corporation as a potential strategic-business partner, and we look forward to progressing those discussions following completion of the PFS. I would also like to thank Mitsubishi for their valuable input and guidance over the course of the study.
Exploration
On exploration, Chalice has an outstanding track record of delivering shareholder returns through discovery and value creation in frontier geological provinces. During FY25, our exploration team continued to advance high-potential exploration targets across the West Yilgarn Province.

Chalice Mining Limited
ASX:CHN
We have had a particular focus on gold and copper targets within the Barrabarra Project, where we see large areas of untested and prospective greenstone belt. We have also continued to screen and rationalise our land position, to continue to narrow the search space and focus on the right opportunities.
Given the end of cropping season is near, our exploration activities will again ramp up across the Wheatbelt and we look forward to sharing results with you as they come to hand.
Outlook
Chalice continues to enjoy a strong financial position, with $76 million in cash and listed investments at the end of September, fully funding the business through to a targeted Final Investment Decision for Gonneville in early 2028.
Looking to Financial Year 2026, we are going ‘up a gear’ on the Gonneville Project – moving from PFS into Definitive (or Bankable) Feasibility Study, progression of offtake and financing and submission of Environmental Review Documents to regulators for major environmental approvals. This will of course happen in parallel to our exploration activities across our significant landholding in the West Yilgarn, staying true to our DNA as an explorer, developer and ultimately, producer
The primary commodities we will produce — palladium, nickel, and copper — remain fundamental to urbanisation, defence, data centres and decarbonisation technologies. As I said earlier, the current market conditions provide a strong foundation for Gonneville’s progression to FID.
In closing, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the wonderful group of hard-working people who drive Chalice and who have gone above and beyond throughout the year. To all our shareholders and stakeholders – a sincere thank-you for staying the course; we never take your support and trust for granted. There are many compelling catalysts in the year ahead that give us much cause for excitement and optimism, and we look forward to updating you on those as we move ahead.
Thank you for your attention.

Cautionary statement
This Presentation includes information extracted from the Company’s ASX announcement dated 29 August 2023, titled
“Gonneville Nickel-Copper-PGE Project Scoping Study”.
For the production targets and forecast financial information for the 15Mtpa Case scenario (modelled LOM - 19 years), Inferred Resources comprise 14% of the production schedule over the modelled Life of Mine (LOM). For the 30Mtpa Case scenario (modelled LOM – 18 years), Inferred Resources comprise 37% of the production schedule over the modelled Life of Mine (LOM). Significantly, in both the 15Mtpa Case and 30Mtpa Case scenarios, the Inferred Mineral Resources do not play a prominent role in the initial mine plan. Throughout the first 15 years of production, the Inferred Mineral Resources constitute less than ~20% in both production schedules. Accordingly, Chalice has concluded that it is satisfied that the financial viability of both development cases modelled in the Scoping Study is not dependent on the inclusion of Inferred Resources early in the production schedule given an estimated payback period (from commencement of production) of ~2 years for the 15Mtpa Case and the 30Mtpa Case.
There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production targets themselves will be realised
Forward Looking Statements
This Presentation may contain forward-looking statements and forward information, (collectively, forward-looking statements). These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Presentation and Chalice Mining Limited (the Company) does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the Company’s expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to: the impact of the discovery on the Gonneville Project’s capital payback; the Company’s planned strategy, expenditure and corporate objectives; estimated timing of the Gonneville Project development schedule; the formal arrangements contemplated by the Memorandum of Understanding with Mitsubishi Corporation, the realisation of Mineral Resource Estimates; timing of anticipated production and final investment decision; sustainability initiatives; climate change scenarios; the likelihood of further exploration success; the timing and cost of planned exploration and study activities on the Company’s projects; mineral processing strategy; access to sites for planned drilling activities; planned production and operating costs profiles; estimated carbon emissions; planned capital requirements; the success of future potential mining operations and the timing of results from planned exploration programs and metallurgical testwork.
In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as, “commence”, “considered”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expected”, “for”, “forecast”, “forward”, “future”, “intend”, “indicative”, “is”, “leads”, “likely”, “may”, “objectives”, “optionality”, “outlook”, “open”, “plan” or “planned”, “potential”, “predicted”, “strategy”, “target”, “upside”, “will” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Such factors may include, among others, risks related to actual results of current or planned exploration and development activities; whether geophysical and geochemical anomalies are related to economic mineralisation or some other feature; obtaining appropriate approvals to undertake exploration and development activities; metal grades being realised; metallurgical recovery rates being realised; results of planned metallurgical test work including results from other domains not tested yet; the outcomes of feasibility studies, scaling up to commercial operations; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined and feasibility studies are undertaken; changes in exploration and study programs and budgets based upon the results; successful completion of the objectives contemplated in the Memorandum of Understanding with Mitsubishi Corporation; changes in commodity prices and economic conditions; political and social risks, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays or difficulty in obtaining governmental approvals, necessary licences, permits or financing to undertake future mining development activities; changes to the regulatory framework within which Chalice operates or may in the future; movements in the share price of investments and the timing and proceeds realised on future disposals of investments as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s interim and annual financial statements, all of which are filed and available for review on the ASX at asx.com.au.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
