ASX Announcement

31 May 2018

Two new gold discoveries expand the district-scale potential of the East Cadillac Gold Project, Canada

Wide drill intercept at North Contact target and new mineralised zone at Lac Rapides target confirm the emerging potential at East Cadillac for large-scale gold systems

Highlights

  • Two new significant zones of mineralisation have been intersected during Phase 2 of the recently completed 27,300m regional diamond drill program.

  • Hole ECG-18-72 at the North Contact target has intersected a wide mineralised zone of 23.5m at 1.12g/t Au from 180.5m including two high grade zones of 2.0m at 6.86g/t Au and 1.0m at 5.71g/t Au .

  • The new intersection at North Contact is in addition to a previously reported intersection of 6.5m at 1.77g/t Au from 157m (ECG-18-24) which now defines an extensive new mineralised strike of >1km.

  • The North Contact zone has only been intersected in four holes to date and remains open both along strike and up and down dip .

  • Hole ECG-18-49 at the Lac Rapides target has intersected a wide mineralised zone of 20.8m at 0.74g/t Au from 316.7m, including a high grade zone of 3.1m at 4.27g/t Au.

  • The mineralisation at Lac Rapides has only been intersected in two holes to date and remains open both along strike and down dip.

  • These new results follow-on from the highly encouraging results at Simon West, where a mineralised strike of >3.5km remains open to the west .

  • Summer work program being finalised and expected to commence in July 2018.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”) (ASX: CHN | TSX: CXN) is pleased to report two significant new mineralised trends which have further enhanced the potential of its East Cadillac Gold Project, located in the Abitibi gold province in Quebec, Canada.

The new drill intercepts have been confirmed following the receipt of a number of new assay results from the recently completed 27,300m regional diamond drilling program. The intercepts at the North Contact and Lac Rapides targets significantly expand the potential of the project to the north and south-east beyond the known Cadillac fault-hosted mineralisation. The lateral extent and thickness of the gold intercepts is considered encouraging and suggests potential for large scale mineralising systems in the area.

The new mineralised zones add to the previously announced discoveries at Simon West, which has now expanded the historical Cadillac fault-hosted mineralisation at Simon West to approximately 3.5km along strike.

The 27,300m regional diamond drill program was designed to follow-up on potential extensions to the gold mineralisation previously intersected at Nordeau West and Simon West, and to complete an initial assessment of

North Contact Target

The North Contact was a conceptual target that interpreted the presence of a mineralised fault along the contact between the basement volcanics and overlying Cadillac sediments, sub-parallel to and approximately 800m north of, the Cadillac fault.

A series of drill fences were completed targeting an area of gold anomalism in MMI soil samples coincident with a moderate to strong IP chargeability response. Results to date have defined a well-developed mineralised fault that extends over a strike length of >1km and remains open in all directions (Figure 2).

Figure 2. North Contact mineralised zone plan view with significant intercepts

Results have been received for all drill holes along the North Contact zone and hole ECG-18-72 intersected a broad zone of gold mineralisation: 23.5m at 1.12g/t Au from 180.5m, including a high grade interval of 2.0m at 6.86g/t Au .

The thickness of the mineralised intercept is particularly encouraging, as it is indicative of a potentially robust mineralised system. Importantly, the mineralised zone is interpreted to extend near to surface and remains untested up-dip (Figure 3).

Lac Rapides Target

Two drill traverses completed at the Lac Rapides target tested a zone of anomalous gold plus pathfinder elements (W, Bi, As) on the east end of the property approximately 500m south of the Cadillac fault (Figure 4).

Results have been received for the eastern traverse, drill holes 48 to 51, with hole ECG-18-49 intersecting a broad zone of low grade mineralisation: 20.8m at 0.74 g/t Au from 316.7m, including a high grade interval of 3.1m at 4.27 g/t Au from 323.1m, however it is the thickness of the mineralised zone that is most encouraging. Importantly, the mineralised zone is remains open along strike and at depth (Figure 5).

==> picture [426 x 315] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5. Lac Rapides cross section C-D

The gold mineralisation is associated with finely disseminated sulphides, primarily pyrite and very fine-grained arsenopyrite with stringer quartz +/- calcite veins.

The target is the first test of several high priority geochemical anomalies delineated south of the Cadillac fault with strong gold plus pathfinder element responses (Figure 6). Infill sampling is planned over these areas to refine targets for follow-up testing.

Future Work

The Company is currently updating its geological database and refining its structural interpretation based on the results received to date. A summer field program is also being finalised, which will include in-fill and new regional MMI soil geochemistry and additional geophysical surveys. The program is expected to commence in July 2018.

Chalice’s Chief Executive Officer Alex Dorsch said: “We are excited by these two new gold intercepts at East Cadillac which follow on from the success earlier in the drill program at Simon West and Nordeau West. The first year’s field program continues to demonstrate the prospectivity of the project and the new discoveries confirm that Chalice’s ground consolidation and regional exploration strategy has been effective.”

“We have now demonstrated the potential of this district-scale project to host several new gold discoveries and, when you consider its proximity to several globally significant gold mines, we are looking forward to more encouraging results as our exploration programs gather momentum.”

APPENDIX 2 – EAST CADILLAC GOLD - 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.
Rock core samples collected using a diamond
drill. Core is cut in half using a saw and the half
core is sent to the lab for analysis, with one
half of the core retained in the core box.
For every 20 samples sent to the lab, there is
one standard, one duplicate, and one blank
sample included within those 20. Duplicate
samples are core that has been cut in half, and
then the half core cut in half once again, so
that each duplicate represents one quarter of
the core.
NQ diamond drilling was completed to obtain
core which was cut and sent to ALS Chemex
laboratories for analysis. Gold is analysed using
ALS Chemex’s Au-AA23 method, which is the
analysis of a 30g crushed and homogenized
sample using fire assay and atomic absorption.
Any sample which registers a value of greater
than 10 ppm Au is run again using the Au-
GRA21, which analysis a 30g crushed and
homogenized sample using fire assay with a
gravimetric finish.
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).
NQ diamond drilling, oriented using the Reflex
Act III tool, and downhole surveys were
collected using both the Reflex EZ-trac and EZ-
gyro tools, depending on the hole. Some holes
have been independently surveyed using a gyro
by an independent contract surveyor.
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 preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Core recovery lengths are measured and
collected for each core run.
Core samples are cut in half using a core saw,
and half of the core is kept in the core box and
stored in a locked and secure storage area in Val
d’Or, QC
There was no significant loss of core during the
drill program. QAQC methods were used to
ensure that there was no lab bias or sample
contamination (QAQC methods and results
included in report)
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
Core was logged with respect to lithology,
alteration, deformation, texture, and
mineralization. Magnetic susceptibility
readings were collected systematically on the
core. All samples collected were also analysed
for pathfinder geochemistry. All of this
information combined will be used in the
interpretation of the geology of the holes.
Logging is a combination of qualitative and
quantitative observation. Wet and dry photos
of all the core were collected

of duplicate sampling, where one half of the
core is cut again, with the two quarter-core
samples being sent to the lab)
Samples were prepped using ALS Chemex
PREP-31, “Crush to 70% less than 2mm, riffle
split off 250g, pulverize split to better than
85% passing 75 microns”
Within every subset of 20 samples, there is one
blank, one standard (randomized selection of
OREAS standards) and one duplicate.
Scrutinizing the QAQC results to ensure that
there is no sample smear or unexplainable
results/anomalies.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.

instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, 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 collect
short wave infrared data at approximately 3m
intervals on all core.
Within every subset of 20 samples, there is one
blank, one standard (randomized selection of
OREAS standards) and one duplicate.

Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
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.
Drilling was oriented to achieve as close as
possible to orthogonal intersection of
mineralized zones, and this was achieved with
a relatively high degree of confidence.
The drilling orientation did not introduce any
sampling bias.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
A collar table containing all holes drilled to date
with results >0.1g/t gold and containing all the
requested information is included in the body
of this document.
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.
For composited grade intercepts a simple
average of grade intercept over length was
used.
Not applicable

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.
Drilling was oriented to achieve as close as
possible to orthogonal intersection of
mineralised zones, and this was achieved with
a relatively high degree of confidence.

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.
Cross sections and plan map included
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.
Included
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).
Further drilling along strike and down plunge
of multiple targets
