SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

LETTER TO ELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

Chalice Mining Limited - Share Purchase Plan

On 2 December 2020, Chalice Mining Limited (ACN 116 648 956) ( Chalice or Company ) (formerly named "Chalice Gold Mines Limited"), announced on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) that it had successfully raised $100 million (before costs) from a placement to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement ) of ~26.7 million fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $3.75 per Share.

We write to you as the holder of Shares with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 4:00pm (AWST) on 30 November 2020 ( Record Date ).

The Board of Chalice recognise that most of the Company’s loyal shareholders did not have the opportunity to participate in the Placement. We are therefore pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares under a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ).

The Company is offering eligible shareholders the opportunity to apply under the SPP for up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $3.75 per Share ( Issue Price ). Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the SPP if they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date ( Eligible Shareholders ). The SPP is not underwritten.

The Directors of Chalice who are Eligible Shareholders presently intend to participate in the SPP.

The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook its Placement. The Issue Price represents:

  • a 7.6% discount to the closing price of the Shares on 30 November 2020, being the last trading day before the Placement and the SPP were announced; and

  • a 3.9% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares traded on ASX over the 5 trading days ending 30 November 2020.

The SPP is targeting to raise up to a maximum of $10 million (before costs and subject to the Company's discretion to accept oversubscriptions).

An offer document with the terms and conditions for the SPP was lodged with the ASX today ( Offer Document ). A copy of the Offer Document along with information about how to apply under the SPP is available online on the Offer website at https://chalicespp.thereachagency.com. The Company encourages you to carefully read the Offer Document before making your investment decision, noting that you will be bound by the terms and conditions in the Offer Document if you choose to participate.

Participation in the SPP

The SPP is available to all Eligible Shareholders to apply for a minimum of $2,000 and a maximum of $30,000 worth of Shares, in the increments set out in the Offer Document, at the Issue Price.

Applications for SPP Shares can only be made by Eligible Shareholders and your right to participate in the SPP is not transferable.

Participation is optional and Eligible Shareholders may elect to do nothing. If you choose to do nothing, you will continue to hold the same number of Shares, however, your interest in Chalice will be diluted.

SPP Shares issued will be fully paid and rank equally with all existing Shares on issue.

Indicative timetable

The indicative timetable for the SPP is below:

Event Date
Record date for SPP Monday, 30 November 2020
(4.00pm AWST)
Announcement of SPP Tuesday, 1 December 2020

The above dates are indicative only and are subject to change, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act.

Actions required to participate in the SPP

Eligible Shareholders may participate in the SPP by applying online on the Offer website at https://chalicespp.thereachagency.com and pay directly via BPAY® (for Eligible Shareholders with an eligible Australian bank account). This is the fastest and easiest way to apply.

If you are unable to pay via BPAY® or access the website to complete the online application, please contact Computershare via the Shareholder Information Line on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) between 8.30am and 5.00pm (EDST), Monday to Friday, to obtain a personalised Application Form.

A New Zealand shareholder that is unable to pay by BPAY® should contact Computershare via the Shareholder Information Line on +61 3 9415 4000, between 8.30am and 5.00pm (EDST), Monday to Friday, during the Offer period, to arrange alternative electronic funds transfer payment for the number of New Shares you wish to apply for.

All payments, as well as Application Forms (if not paying by BPAY®), must be received by no later than 2:00pm (AWST) on 12 January 2021. Please take into account BPAY® processing times or mail times.

It is important to note that your application will be irrevocable, unconditional and cannot be withdrawn, even if the market price of the Shares is less than the Issue Price

Chalice reserves the right to close the SPP early or extend the SPP in its discretion. Eligible Shareholders who wish to participate in the SPP are therefore encouraged to apply early.

Scale back

Chalice reserves the right to determine the amount it raises through the SPP, including the right to reject or scale back any applications in whole or in part ( Scale back ). At this stage, the maximum amount raised under the SPP will be capped at a total of $10 million (before costs), although the Company reserves the right to change this cap at its discretion by announcement to ASX (subject to the maximum permitted under the ASX Listing Rules). If there is a Scale back, you may not receive all the Shares for which you have applied under the SPP. The Company may in its absolute discretion determine to apply the Scale back to the extent and in the manner it sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors such as the size of your shareholding at the Record Date, the extent to which you have sold or purchased Shares since the Record Date, whether you have multiple registered holdings, the date on which your application was made and the total applications received from Eligible Shareholders. In the event of a Scale back, Chalice will refund to you the difference between your application money and the total offer price for the new Shares issued to you.

Queries

If you have any questions in relation to how to participate in the SPP, please contact Chalice’s Share Registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, from 8.30am to 5.00pm (EDST) Monday to Friday on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside of Australia).

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

Dear Shareholder,

Chalice Mining Limited - Share Purchase Plan

On 2 December 2020, Chalice Mining Limited (ACN 116 648 956) ( Chalice or Company ) (formerly named Chalice Gold Mines Limited), announced on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) that it had successfully raised $100 million from a placement to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors of ~26.7 million fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $3.75 per Share ( Placement ).

The Board of Chalice recognise that most of the Company’s loyal shareholders did not have the opportunity to participate in the Placement. We are therefore pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) the opportunity to subscribe for Shares under a Share Purchase Plan ( Offer or SPP ).

The terms and conditions of the SPP are included in the Offer Document attached to this letter.

The SPP provides Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to apply for up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $3.75 per Share ( Issue Price ). The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook the Placement.

The Issue Price represents a:

  • 7.6% discount to the market price of the Shares on the last day on which sales of Shares were recorded on the ASX immediately prior to the SPP being announced; and

  • 3.9% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last five days on which sales of Shares were recorded on the ASX immediately prior to the SPP being announced.

The SPP is targeting to raise up to $10 million (before costs and subject to the Company's discretion to accept oversubscriptions).

Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the SPP if they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 4.00pm (AWST) on Monday, 30 November 2020 (and who otherwise meet certain other conditions as set out in the Offer Document) ( Eligible Shareholders ).

The offer of Shares under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and therefore does not require a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.

Use of funds

Funds raised under the Placement and the SPP are intended to be applied towards the acceleration of exploration and development activities at Chalice’s remarkable Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery and general working capital. The funds provide a 2-year runway to support accelerated exploration and development, including the following activities:

  • ~160,000m of diamond and RC resource definition drilling at the Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery, to support the delivery of the maiden Mineral Resource in mid-2021.

  • Drill program aims to delineate the majority of the Mineral Resource in Measured and Indicated categories, constrained to an open-pit.

  • Funding the delivery of the maiden Gonneville scoping and pre-feasibility studies by ~Q4 2021 and ~Q4 2022 respectively.

  • Initial drilling at new EM anomalies within the Julimar State Forest – namely the ~6.5km long Hartog EM Anomaly (subject to access approval)[1] .

  • Initial regional exploration activities within the >8,000km[2] position in the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province, plus continued generative exploration at the Pyramid Hill Gold Project (Vic) and Hawkstone Ni-Cu-Co Project (WA).
