Newly defined large-scale gold anomalies prioritised for drill testing at East Cadillac Gold Project, Quebec

Regional geochemistry defines new large-scale gold-in-soil anomalies for drilling in early 2019

Highlights

  • Several extensive and coherent MMI (mobile metal ion) gold-in-soil anomalies defined in new geochemistry results on 100%-owned areas at the East Cadillac Gold Project in Quebec, Canada:

  • Legrand soil anomaly covers an area of ~ 3.4km x 1.3km , with a peak gold value of up to 22 times background . The anomaly has a similar pathfinder response and lies in a similar structural setting to Canadian Malartic (a >16Moz gold mine located ~70km to the west);

  • Anderson soil anomaly covers an area of ~2.3km x 0.5km, with a peak gold value of up to 22 times background , located on a regional structure that hosts several large gold deposits to the west.

  • The Legrand and Anderson anomalies represent the largest and most coherent anomalies found to date at the East Cadillac Project, and are entirely untested by drilling.

  • The new high-priority targets are to be drill tested in the upcoming winter drill season, due to commence in January 2019.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”) (ASX: CHN | TSX: CXN) is pleased to announce that it has defined several new, high priority, large scale, gold-in-soil anomalies at its East Cadillac Gold Project in Quebec, Canada, based on extensive surface geochemistry programs completed during the 2018 summer field season. The newly defined anomalies represent priority drill targets.

The recent soil, rock chip and geophysical programs were designed to expand regional data coverage and define new regional drill targets for the upcoming winter drilling season. The program builds on previous regional work, completed by Chalice in 2017, which included reconnaissance soil, rock chip and bark geochemistry as well as LiDAR, Aeromagnetic and 3D-IP geophysical surveys.

The results of the previous phase of work were used to design and execute the ~28,700m reconnaissance diamond drilling program completed in Q2 2018. This drill program identified two significant new zones of mineralisation at the Lac Rapides and North Contact Prospects and confirmed the potential for large-scale gold systems on the district-scale East Cadillac Project.

Chalice’s Chief Executive Officer Alex Dorsch said: “ The latest results confirm that East Cadillac is highly prospective for large-scale gold systems, and that the exploration toolkit we are applying gives us the best chance of vectoring towards a substantial discovery. This potential is further underlined by the prospective geological setting of the Project in the prolific Val-d’Or district, and its location along strike from several multi-million ounce gold deposits and mines.

“Since acquiring and consolidating the Project, we have systematically explored the area and made substantial progress in a relatively short period of time. We are very excited about the upcoming drilling program and we look forward to receiving results as our exploration activities ramp-up.”

Surface Geochemistry and Geological Mapping Programme

The surface geochemical and geological mapping programs were completed during June-September 2018. A total of 1,504 mobile metal ion (MMI) soil samples were collected from both newly optioned / acquired claims and infill samples were collected over target areas defined from the wide-spaced 2017 soil sampling program.

The MMI soil sampling results have identified four new significant gold and pathfinder soil anomalies in areas subject to limited or no previous drilling (Figure 1).

Table 1 below summarises the main attributes of the geochemical anomalies. Importantly, the MMI gold anomalies are mostly associated with gold pathfinder elements, providing more evidence that the anomalies are related to bedrock gold mineralisation.

The Legrand gold-in-soil anomaly is coherent and covers a large surface area within a 5km x 4km area of anomalous arsenic and tungsten with minor bismuth. No bedrock geology outcrops were recognised in this area although aeromagnetic interpretation suggests that the Legrand anomaly overlies Pontiac Sediments which also host significant gold deposits elsewhere in the region including the Canadian Malartic gold deposit (>16Moz Au at ~1.1g/t Au), located approximately 70km to the WNW (Figure 2).

==> picture [482 x 338] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2. Regional gold deposits and Chalice MMI gold-in-soil geochemistry over regional aeromagnetics

The Legrand anomaly overlies a zone of interpreted complex structure in an area of folded sedimentary rocks transected by thrust faults and intruded by felsic dykes, all of which suggests a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralisation. In addition, the distribution of anomalous pathfinder metals in soils has a similar pattern of the metal zonation documented for the Canadian Malartic gold deposit which displays a zonation from proximal Au-W to distal Cs-Li-Tl. The Legrand anomaly has not been previously drill tested and is to be prioritised for drilling in the upcoming winter program.

The Anderson anomaly is a strong coherent gold-in-soil anomaly defined over a strike length of 2.3km and located about 2.5km north of the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone (LLCFZ). The east-west orientation is similar to other subparallel structures that host the Forsan gold deposit and other gold occurrences in the northern mafic succession. The anomaly is also to be prioritised for drill testing.

Rock chip sampling conducted during the 2018 field season has identified a 1.2km long zone of anomalous gold mineralisation, with assays up to 39g/t Au, located between 1-2.5km east of the recent Lac Rapides gold discovery. Gold mineralisation is associated with pyrite and/or arsenopyrite alteration in and around quartz veins in Banded Iron Formation. Limited historic drilling in this area has not intersected significant gold mineralisation however, given the strong association of gold with sulphide mineralisation, it is likely that the planned 3D-IP survey will allow a better definition of potential targets for testing.

Geophysical Surveys

New aeromagnetic and LiDAR geophysical surveys were completed in June-August 2018 on newly acquired tenure to expand existing LiDAR and helicopter-based aeromagnetic coverage to the north and west of the main Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault (Figure 3). In conjunction with field geological mapping, these surveys have improved the Company’s geological understanding of the known gold occurrences throughout the project area.

Proposed Future Work

A 3D-IP OreVision survey commenced in early October to extend existing coverage along the Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault for an additional ~7km east of the 2017 survey area (which covered ~16km of strike). The grid is also being extended to the south to cover the new Legrand anomaly to the south-east of Lac Rapides. Survey results are expected by the end of December.

The recently received results are being incorporated with the previously acquired data to design a diamond drill program planned for the upcoming winter drill season, to commence in January 2019. The program will be designed to test the new surface anomalies as well as testing several zones along strike from existing mineralisation. Existing targets will be refined and additional drill targets may be added to the program once the 3D-IP survey results are finalised in late December.

APPENDIX 1 – EAST CADILLAC GOLD PROJECT – JORC TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.
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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Chalice sampling comprises 1504 mobile metal
ion (MMI) soil and QAQC samples. Soil samples
collected from between 10 to 30 cm below
surface. For every 20 samples collected a sand
blank and field duplicate are inserted and sent
to the laboratory.
Results are reported for all 1504 MMI soil
samples.
Chalice sampling includes 157 rock chip and
QAQC samples. Samples collected from
available outcrops which occur sporadically in
the areas traversed. For every 20 samples
collected a certified standard and blank are
inserted and sent to the laboratory.
All samples are scanned using a Terraspec Halo
short-wave infrared scanner.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g.
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
No drilling reported
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
A short field description of each MMI soil
sample was recorded including colour, organic
content, sand content, and inorganic vs. organic
designation
A short field description of each rock chip
sample was recorded including lithology, colour
and grain size

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
MMI soil samples are processed as received.
MMI soil samples are analysed by SGS
Laboratories in Burnaby, British Columbia,
Canada using laboratory technique GE_MMI_M.
Rock chip samples are dried and crushed to 70%
passing 2mm, riffle split to 250g and pulverised
to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The
sample is now below 250g and is pulverized to
better than 85%. Samples are analysed by ALS
Laboratories in Val-d’Or, Quebec, Canada using
laboratory techniques ME-MS61, Au-AA23, and
Au-GRA21.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established
Laboratory procedures and assay data have
been carefully selected based on appropriate
techniques for the type of analysis required.
A Terraspec Halo instrument is used to measure
short wave infrared data on all rock chip
samples collected. The Halo requires an
external white reference disc when it is first
turned on for calibration. Subsequently, it has
an internal white reference disc used every few
minutes while in use and takes 30 seconds to
calibrate.

into Excel spreadsheet, which is backed up and
stored on a server. GPS locations are
downloaded and exported in CSV format,
before being merged into the primary database.
All electronic data is routinely backed up and
kept on a central server
None applied
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
Sampling traverses are oriented to achieve as
close as possible to orthogonal intersection of
mineralized zones, and this was achieved with a
relatively high degree of confidence.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
Gold deposits on the East Cadillac Gold project are
greenstone-hosted gold deposits that belong to the
orogenic class of gold deposits.
The East Cadillac Gold project contains a sequence of
volcano-sedimentary rocks that is known as the Trivio
structural domain, a kilometres-wide deformation
corridor interpreted as the eastern extension of the
larder lake – Cadillac tectonic zone.
Gold mineralization is categorized into two types of
epigenetic gold occurrences:
i) Gold mineralisation in silicified lodes with
disseminated to semi-massive sulphides (arsenopyrite,
pyrrhotite and pyrite) spatially related to sedimentary
banded iron formations. Secondary quartz veining is
commonly associated with this type of gold
mineralisation.
ii) Structurally controlled gold mineralisation in altered
and sheared zones with quartz or quartz carbonate veins
parallel to the schistosity and shear zones (most likely to
be found in volcanic units). Associated disseminated
sulphides include arsenopyrite, pyrite and minor
chalcopyrite; graphitic horizons are common.
Both types of mineralization occur as free gold associated
with sulphide minerals ranging from 1% to 5% when in
quartz veins to as much as 20% to 50% when in
association with magnetite iron formations.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.
No drilling reported
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Response ratios are calculated to report MMI soil results
as the value divided by the average of the lowest quartile
of all samples, rounded to the nearest integer

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
See figures in body of report
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Previous exploration results are reported
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
All meaningful and material data reported
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work
(eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Drilling along strike and down plunge of multiple targets,
as well as follow-up on MMI results
