ASX Announcement

22 April 2015

Chalice expands North American presence with farm-in deal on advanced and highly prospective Canadian gold project

Multiple drill -ready targets; outstanding exploration upside; potential to rapidly delineate gold resources

Key Points:

  • Joint venture agreement signed with Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SUP) giving Chalice the right to earn a 65% interest in the advanced Croteau Est Property.

The Croteau Est Property, located in Québec, includes a 25km strike length of prospective stratigraphy with numerous targets where previous drilling has returned outstanding intercepts such as:

  • 7.35m @ 10.24g/t Au from 170.15m (CR011-05) *’

  • And 10.55m @ 10.63g/t Au from 179.95m

  • Incl. 5.25m @ 20.56g/t Au from 181.75m

  • o 19.55m @ 8.55g/t Au from 90.75m (CRO12-10) o 9.75m @ 3.50g/t Au from 171.60m (CRO12-29) o 7.65m @ 3.08g/t Au from 160.25m (CRO12-34)*

And 11.6m @ 3.17g/t Au from 238.55m o 12.55m @ 2.29g/t Au from 207.45m (CRO12-41)*’ o 6.85m @ 21.32g/t Au from 240.65m (CRO12-46)*’

  • At the main prospect, Croteau Bouchard Shear Zone (CBSZ), continuous plus 1 g/t Au mineralisation has been defined over a 1.1km strike, 180m width and to a depth of 575m (Figure 4). The mineralisation remains open in all directions. Limited drilling between surface and -250m at CBSZ.

  • The agreement has a minimum expenditure commitment of C$0.5M within 12 months and the Company can earn its equity by spending C$4M within three years.

  • The property offers outstanding potential to rapidly delineate a JORC/NI43-101 resource and to make significant new gold discoveries – establishing an attractive growth pipeline for Chalice in North America alongside its 1.3Moz[1] Cameron Gold Project, where a Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA) is underway.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (ASX: CHN, TSX: CXN) is pleased to announce that it has further expanded its presence in North America after securing an agreement to earn a majority stake in a highly prospective and advanced gold property in Canada.

The Company has signed a joint venture agreement with Canadian gold explorer Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SUP) giving it the right to earn a 65% interest in the Croteau Est gold property located in Québec (see Figure 1 below).

The property includes a coherent, well defined zone of plus 1 g/t Au mineralisation at CBSZ plus extensive, highly prospective geological trends with outstanding gold geochemical anomalies.

*(all intersections are downhole lengths; see Appendix 1 for survey details)

‘(0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, with up to 2m internal dilution)

Croteau Est complements Chalice’s 100%-owned Cameron Gold Project in Ontario – an advanced gold asset which it acquired last year as the foundation for its North American growth strategy. Cameron has a number of attractive attributes, including good grades (refer Table 1 for full details), low political risk in a mature mining jurisdiction with low costs, conventional metallurgy, and a mid-sized gold project that is well within Chalice’s funding and development capability.

Croteau Est Joint Venture

The Croteau Est Property is located near Chibougamau in Québec and comprises 213 claims covering 8,316 hectares which are 100%-owned by Northern Superior and 109 claims totaling 3,856 hectares which are under option to Northern Superior.

Under the Croteau Est agreement, Chalice can earn a 65% interest in the property by spending a total of C$4 million on exploration over three years, with a minimum exploration commitment of C$500,000 in the first 12 months. Upon earning a 65% interest, the joint venture becomes a contributing joint venture which is subject to a standard dilution calculation.

The property is located close to a number of historical copper-gold mines in the Chapais-Chibougamou region. The project is well serviced by road, rail and air services, offering year-round access, and is located close to grid power.

The tenement package includes a 25km strike length of prospective stratigraphy, including 17 drill ready targets requiring immediate follow-up and a significant body of quartz-carbonate-sericite alteration and pyrite mineralisation which has been defined as the CBSZ. A total of 44 diamond drill-holes have been completed into the CBSZ (Figures 2, 3 and 4).

Previous drilling has returned some outstanding intersections including 10.55m @ 10.63g/t Au from 179.95m (CRO11-05), 19.55m @ 8.55g/t Au from 90.75m (CRO12-10), 6.85m @ 21.32g/t Au from 240.65m (CRO12-46) (true widths of the drill hole intersections cannot be determined with the information currently available). A full listing of

drill statistics for the CBSZ is provided in Appendix 1 and JORC table 1 is included at Appendix 2. Significant trench assays are given in Appendix 3.

The joint venture will be managed by Chalice, however, Chalice has entered into a Technical Services Agreement with Northern Superior whereby Northern Superior will provide services on commercial terms enabling Chalice to build on their knowledge base and existing excellent relationships with the community. Chalice has also secured the services of a highly experienced Canadian based geologist and mining executive as the Company’s in-country manager to oversee all of Chalice’s projects in Canada.

The Croteau Est Property is managed under a Pre-Development Agreement with the First Nation community of OujéBougoumou, the Cree Regional Authority and the Grand Council of the Cree.

Other Terms Relating to the Joint Venture Agreement

Under the joint venture agreement, if a party’s interest is diluted below 10%, its interest will be converted to a NSR interest as follows:

  1. With respect to any claims which are already subject to an NSR (to a third party):

  2. a. for period(s) where the price of gold (as quoted on the London Gold Fix) is less than C$1,800 per ounce, a 1% NSR; and

  3. b. for period(s) where the price of gold (as quoted on the London Gold Fix) exceeds C$1,800 per ounce, a 2% NSR; and

  4. With respect to all other claims, a 2% NSR, and in each case, one-half of the NSR can be bought back for C$1,000,000.

Miro Advisors acted as advisors to the transaction for Chalice.

Management Comment

Chalice’s Managing Director, Tim Goyder, said the farm-in agreement with Northern Superior was consistent with the Company’s broader strategic objective, which is to build a quality mid-tier gold business based on multiple near-tomedium term production opportunities in quality jurisdictions. He said:

“Canada is a Tier One jurisdiction in every respect – offering outstanding geological potential, high quality infrastructure, low operating costs, cheap and readily available power. Since acquiring the Cameron Project last year we have been actively reviewing and assessing potential bolt-on growth opportunities in North America. We are very pleased to have reached agreement with Northern Superior, which is an established and respected Canadian exploration company, to farm-in to an outstanding gold exploration project in Croteau Est.

“The Croteau Est Project offers a unique combination of great location, with the potential to establish a resource quickly, walk-up drill targets and a great operating environment. This is a high quality, advanced exploration play – not a conceptual or greenfields project – and has clear potential to deliver a resource in the near term. We are looking forward to commencing exploration activities as soon as possible to unlock this potential.”

APPENDIX 2: JORC Table - Croteau Est Project

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data – Diamond Drilling

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively
simple
(eg
‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30
g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules) may

 Diamond drilling was used to obtain a continuous core
from the overburden bedrock interface to a final end of
hole depth which was based on the geology intersected.
 Intervals of recovered core selected for analysis were
identified based on geological criteria including a
combination of lithology, alteration assemblage and or
the presence of sulphides. Sample intervals were
predominately 1.0m in length, but ranged from 0.3 to
1.5m. Each interval was preceded and followed by 1.0-
2.0m shoulder samples extending out beyond the
interval of interest.
 The core selected for sampling was split and samples of
half core were dispatched to an ISO17001 certified
commercial laboratory for preparation and analysis of
gold according to industry standard practises.

Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

The core samples are placed in jute sacks, which are
secured with one-time-use teflon tie-wraps. A sample
manifest is prepared by Northern Superior’s
geologist(s) for each batch (200-300) of samples for
delivery directly to the assay lab. The manifest lists the
number and numerical sequence of samples in each
consignment, as well as the analyses required to be
performed by the lab for each sample consignment.

The samples are kept in the core shack under lock and
key until a door-to-door courier delivers the samples to
the assay lab.

Upon arrival at the laboratory, personnel verify the
sample submission list and confirm receipt of samples,
notify if any security ties or sacks are not intact and if
there are additional or missing samples to those
indicated on the sample submission sheet.

The project area comprises two blocks of claims –
Croteau Est and Waconichi.

The Croteau Est property consists of a contiguous block
of 109 claims which encompass an area of 3,856
hectares within Barlow and McKenzie townships in
north-central Québec. The core group of the claims
were acquired in July 2011 when Northern Superior
Resources signed a letter of intent with GL Géoservices
Inc. and Marc Bouchard of Chapais, Québec who
granted Northern Superior an option to acquire a 100%
interest in the property. The Optionors retain a 1.0%
NSR on any future commercial production from the
property, with Northern Superior having the right to buy
back 0.5% of the NSR for $1.5 million at any time. The
property is otherwise unencumbered.

The Waconichi property, which adjoins the Croteau
property to the north and east, consists of three claim
blocks totalling 213 CDC or_claim designé sur carte_,
encompassing an area of 8,316 ha. In May 2013,
Northern Superior acquired a 100% interest in the
claims from Murgor Resources Inc. by a cash payment of
$225,000. Murgor retains a 1% NSR over each of the
claims except for the “Charbonneau Claims” (7 claims,
approximately 387 hectares), wherein a 2% NSR is
stipulated, with Northern Superior having the right to
buy-back the 1% for $1,000,000 and also retaining the
right of first refusal to purchase the remaining 1%.
Northern Superior also has the option at any time to re-
purchase 0.5% of the Murgor NSR royalty by payment of
$1,000,000. Thepropertyis otherwise unencumbered.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

The Croteau Est gold showing was first discovered in
1935, with limited trenching completed at that time.

Commencing in the 1950’s, various companies
undertook extensive exploration programs targeting
both gold and base metals, with drilling conducted at
various gold showings including Croteau Est, Tadd & Lac
Chevrillon as well as some base metal geophysical
targets.

Ground and airborne EM, IP, aeromagnetics, trenching,
soil and till sampling have been conducted over various
parts of the project area by several previous explorers.

Several gold showings have been identified by this work,
mostly associated with major shears such as the
Faribault and Croteau-Bouchard systems.

Currently the most promising prospect identified from
historical and Northern Superior work is the Croteau Est
prospect and its possible extensions or repetitions along
the CBSZ.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Croteau Est project setting is an Archaean granite-
greenstone terrane situated in the northeast corner of
the Matagami-Chibougamau Greenstone Belt (MCGB) of
the Abitibi Subprovince of the Archean Superior
Province, north-central Québec .

The MCGB consists of two Archean age mafic to felsic
volcanic cycles (Roy Group) unconformably overlain by
the Opémisca Group volcano-sedimentary sequence.
The volcanics and associated sediments are intruded by
a series of large granitoid plutons and septa of probable
basement.

Gold mineralization in the main CBSZ prospect
comprises gold bearing sericite-carbonate-pyrite quartz
vein stockwork mineralization hosted by intensely
sheared and carbonatised mafic volcanics.

32 trenches with a cumulative area of 8,860 m2 were
excavated, mapped and channel sampled on the
property by Northern Superior.

A 1,271 line-kilometre heli-borne total magnetic field
and gradient survey on 100 m spaced lines has been
flown, with the data used to better define the regional
geology, particularly the structural architecture.

Follow-up ground mag (42.2 line-km) and 35.9 line-km
of pole-dipole ground IP survey were conducted on a
series of handcut grids (47.8 line-km) emplaced across
the Croteau-Bouchard and Croteau North shear zones
on the property.

The drilling was augmented by a diverse variety of
geochemical (till sampling: 382 samples; MMI sampling:
687 samples; soil gas sampling: 854 samples), borehole
spectral IP surveys (12 drillholes), structural geological
studies, detailed mapping of trenches and petrographic
studies.

142 reverse circulation drillholes (1,665 m) were
completed in a 46 km2 area on the Croteau and
Waconichi properties on a series of staggered drillhole
fences oriented perpendicular to the dispersion of
Wisconsin glacial sediments to determine the presence
of gold and/or base metal mineralized dispersion trains
originating from one or more areas on the property (as
