Significant extension of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co zones at Julimar

Three high-grade zones extended by exceptional new drill intersections, plus a new 40 metre wide interval of matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides in the G1 Zone

==> picture [510 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Highlights

  • Exceptional new results from ongoing resource definition drilling at the ~1.6km x 0.8km Gonneville Intrusion have significantly extended three high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co+/-Au zones (G1, G3 and G4).

  • Significant new drill intersections from the high-grade G1 Zone (the “discovery zone”) include:

  • 31m @ 3.3g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.03% Co from 76m (JD010) including:

    • 13m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.5g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.04% Co from 83m (JD010);
  • 30m @ 2.8g/t Pd , 0.3g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.03% Co from 164m (JD006), including:

    • 6.4m @ 6.3g/t Pd, 0.5g/t Pt, 1.0% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.07% Co from 167.3m (JD006);
  • 9m @ 5.7g/t Pd, 1.1g/t Pt, 1.1% Ni, 1.5% Cu, 0.06% Co from 103m (JRC019);

  • 9.2m @ 4.6g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 0.3% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co from 200.8m (JD009);

  • 5m @ 3.4g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 1.1% Ni, 3.3% Cu, 0.07% Co from 46m (JRC023);

  • 9m @ 2.7g/t Pd, 0.6g/t Pt, 0.6% Ni , 0.3% Cu, 0.04% Co from 63m (JRC025); and

  • 40m interval of visually logged matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides from 224m in hole JD013, 80m down-dip of JD003 (17.6m at 5.3g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt,1.3% Ni, 0.6% Cu, 0.07% Co) – suggests that the G1 Zone is widening down-dip to the west .

  • G1 Zone remains open along strike to the south and down-dip and is defined over ~ 400m of strike and up to ~ 340m of dip extent .

  • High-grade PGE-Cu-Au dominant G4 Zone intersected in two new holes over 300m apart:

  • 25.7m @ 3.9g/t Pd, 2.3g/t Pt, 0.7g/t Au , 0.2% Ni, 0.8% Cu , 0.02% Co from 418.1m (JD006), including:

    • 6.7m @ 10.6g/t Pd, 7.7g/t Pt, 1.3g/t Au, 0.2% Ni, 1.0% Cu, 0.02% Co from 426m (JD006);
  • 25m interval of visually logged disseminated sulphides from 240m (JD010 – assays pending).

  • G4 Zone appears to be localised along the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion , a new highly prospective and wide-open target position.

  • In addition, a new 27m interval of visually logged heavily disseminated sulphides from 81m in JRC048 is interpreted to be a similar style of mineralisation and may extend G4 over ~400m east (all assays pending).

  • Shallow high-grade G3 Zone , to the west of and parallel to the G1 Zone, intersected in two holes:

  • 13.7m @ 4.4g/t Pd, 0.9g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.05% Co from 29.3m (JD006);

  • 29m interval of visually logged heavily disseminated sulphides from 125m (JD013 – assays pending).

  • G3 Zone remains wide-open.

  • Assays are pending for a further 25 completed drill holes (3 diamond and 22 RC).

  • Chalice is fully-funded to continue its accelerated 3-rig program at Julimar with ~$50 million in cash and investments.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”, ASX: CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to report significant new results from ongoing exploration activities at its 100%-owned Julimar NickelCopper-PGE Project , located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia.

Three rigs (two Reverse Circulation (“RC”) and one diamond) are continuing to drill at the Gonneville Intrusion, where Chalice recently made a major high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co discovery (refer to ASX Announcement on 23 March 2020).

Drilling results continue to demonstrate that the Gonneville Intrusion hosts both high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co +/- Au zones in massive/matrix/stringer/disseminated sulphides and widespread PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation associated with disseminated sulphides. The latest results have significantly extended the high-grade zones.

The Company continues its dual approach of targeting both extensions of the four known high-grade zones (G1-G4) with 40-80m spaced step-out drill holes and scoping out the extensive zones of disseminated sulphides on a 200m x 80m spaced grid.

A total of 15 diamond drill holes and 62 RC drill holes have been completed to date, of which results for 12 diamond and 40 RC holes have been reported including the five new diamond holes (JD006-JD009 and part of JD010) and 20 RC holes (JRC018-37) reported in this announcement. Assays are pending for a further 25 completed drill holes (3 diamond and 22 RC).

Chalice Managing Director, Alex Dorsch, said: “This is an exciting step-change in our ongoing exploration program at Julimar in that the new results highlight the potential for material growth in the high-grade zones we have identified to date.

“The recent results from drilling in the G1, G3 and G4 Zones confirm that these zones host exceptionally high-grade mineralisation and remain open. The new 40 metre wide interval of matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides in the G1 Zone is 80m down-dip from one of our best high-grade intersections in JD003, which suggests that the zone may be widening and it remains open down-dip to the west.”

“The recently discovered PGE-copper-gold dominant G4 Zone, announced in early July, has also been intersected in two, potentially three new holes and we now believe this could represent an entirely new target horizon along the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion with potential for further growth.

“The key takeaway is that we are rapidly expanding the core of high-grade, high-tenor sulphide mineralisation within these three zones, confirming the significance of the Gonneville discovery.”

Drilling results – G1 Zone

A total of 12 new step-out diamond and RC drill holes targeting the high-grade G1 Zone have been drilled on a nominal 40-80m x 80m grid. Assay results have confirmed that the G1 zone extends over ~400m of strike length and up to ~340m of dip-extent ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

As previously reported on 9 July 2020, JD010, drilled to the south-east of the discovery hole JRC001 (due to access restrictions at that time), intersected the G1 Zone. Assay results have now confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation:

  • 31m @ 3.3g/t Pd, 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.03% Co from 76m (JD010) including:

o 13m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.5g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.04% Co from 83m (JD010).

As previously reported on 15 June 2020, JD006, drilled ~80m to the north of JRC005, also intersected the G1 Zone. Assay results have now confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation:

  • 30m @ 2.8g/t Pd, 0.3g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.03% Co from 164m (JD006), including:

o 6.4m @ 6.3g/t Pd, 0.5g/t Pt, 1.0% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.07% Co from 167.3m (JD006).

Current hole in progress JD013, drilled ~70m to the west of JD003, intersected a 40m wide interval of visually logged matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides from 224m ( Figure 3 ). The intersections is ~80m down-dip of the previously reported significant JD003 intersection in the G1 Zone (17.6m @ 5.3g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt, 1.3% Ni, 0.6% Cu, 0.07% Co from 191.4m).

Figure 3. Gonneville Cross Section (6,512,508mN +/- 25m).

The core zone of sulphide mineralisation (224-264.5m) visually logged in JD013 comprises an interlayered serpentinite-gabbro sequence with zones of heavily disseminated to matrix sulphides with minor massive sulphides in serpentinite, and minor disseminated to stringer sulphides in gabbro subunits ( Table 1 and Figure 4 ). The lower contact of this zone is cut by a post-mineralisation dolerite dyke and the hole is continuing in order to test the projected G4 Zone target position.

The new wide intersection demonstrates the potential of the G1 Zone to grow and widen down-dip to the west. The zone remains open down-dip and along strike to the south.

All new significant drill intersections are listed in Appendix 1 and new drill hole collar locations and hole orientation details are provided in Appendix 2 .

Drilling results – G4 Zone

The G4 Zone was originally discovered in JD005 (23.9m @ 1.7g/t Pd, 0.4g/t Pt, 0.5g/t Au, 0.1% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.02% Co from 313m to end-of-hole, including 10.1m @ 2.9g/t Pd, 0.6g/t Pt, 1.2g/t Au, 0.1% Ni, 1.3% Cu, 0.01% Co), as reported on 9 July 2020.

Two new diamond drill holes, located ~300m apart, have intersected the G4 Zone (JD006 and JD010) proximal to the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion ( Figures 1 and 5 ).

==> picture [511 x 370] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5. Gonneville Cross Section 6,512,430mN +/- 10m.

In addition, a shallow RC hole (JRC048) has intersected a 27m wide interval of heavily disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite dominant sulphide mineralisation associated with the eastern contact of the Gonneville intrusion, as well as a narrow interval (2m wide) of massive sulphides higher in the hole (all assays pending).

The heavily disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite dominant mineralisation intersected in JRC048 (81-108m) has a similar style and geological setting to the G4 Zone intersected at depth in JD005-6 & JD010, located ~300m to the west ( Figure 1 ).

A preliminary interpretation of the projected footwall contact of the Gonneville intrusion suggests this highly prospective contact is below the depth of nearby RC holes and hence is largely untested. This prospective contact position will be a priority for further drill testing and EM geophysics.

The presence of mineralisation associated with the footwall contact is viewed as significant and highlights the prospectivity of the large new SQUID EM Conductors ‘X’ and ‘Y’ situated to the north-west of the Intrusion.

The G4 Zone remains open and further step-out drilling is underway.

Drilling results – G3 Zone

As previously reported on 15 June 2020, JD006 intersected a shallow zone of matrix sulphides to the west of the G1 Zone. Assay results have confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation:

  • 13.7m @ 4.4g/t Pd, 0.9g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.05% Co from 29.3m , including:

9.4m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.2g/t Pt, 0.9% Ni, 0.9% Cu, 0.06% Co from 30.1m

The G3 Zone has also been intersected in current hole JD013, ~80m to the north, where visual results indicate a 29m wide interval of 3-15% disseminated sulphides from 125m ( Table 1 ), all assays are pending ( Figure 3 ).

The zone was also intersected in JD012, ~40m to the west of the above intersection, where visual results indicate a 7.5m wide interval of heavily disseminated / matrix sulphides from 58.2m, all assays are pending ( Figure 5 ). The G3 zone remains open in all directions and further step-out drilling is planned.

Drilling results – Conductor ‘F’ Target

Six new reconnaissance RC holes have been completed at the southern end of the Gonneville Intrusion, where a ~650m x ~250m PGE-Ni-Cu soil anomaly partly overlaps MLEM Conductor ‘F’. Assays have been received for one hole only (JRC037), which has intersected narrow zones of high-grade mineralisation associated with disseminated sulphides:

  • 3m @ 1.9g/t Pd, 0.4g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.04% Co from 45m;

  • 4m @ 1.1g/t Pd, 0.3g/t Pt, 0.2% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.02% Co from 58m; and,

  • 2m @ 1.6g/t Pd, 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.03% Co from 68m.

Assays for the remaining five holes are pending, however preliminary visual results indicate that the holes have intersected narrow zones of disseminated sulphides in serpentinite. The Gonneville Intrusion in this area is pervasively cut by late-stage granite intrusions and the holes were drilled from sub-optimal locations due to surface restrictions.

As such, additional RC drill holes are underway to the east to adequately test the target area.

Drilling results – Disseminated Sulphide Zones

19 new step-out RC drill holes targeting the disseminated sulphide zones have been drilled, on a 200m x 80m step-out grid. Assay results continue to demonstrate the widespread nature of disseminated sulphides within the Gonneville intrusion, with several wide intervals of PGE-Ni-Cu intersected ( Figure 6 ).

All assays have been returned for the east-west traverse of 11 RC holes along 6,512,710mN. Results confirm widespread disseminated sulphides in serpentinite, with late dolerite dykes cross-cutting through the Intrusion in a sub-vertical orientation ( Figure 7 ).

Forward plan

Chalice is continuing its approach of simultaneously exploring and evaluating the zones of high-grade PGENi-Cu-Co+/-Au mineralisation and the extensive PGE-Ni-Cu zones associated with disseminated sulphides within the ~1.6km x 0.8km Gonneville Intrusion.

Ongoing and planned activities at Julimar include:

  • RC drilling – a ~20,000m Phase 2 RC drill program is underway utilising two rigs. Drilling is being undertaken on a 200m x 80m spaced grid over the ~1.6km x ~0.8km Gonneville Intrusion to provide sectional east-west coverage and to define the extent of the mineralised system. In high-grade target areas, RC drilling continues on a nominal 80m x 80m step-out grid.

  • Diamond drilling – a diamond drill rig continues to step-out from known high-grade zones (on a nominal 80m x 80m grid) and test new DHEM targets. A second diamond drill rig is being sourced, which is anticipated to mobilise to site in the coming weeks.

  • EM Geophysics (DHEM and ground EM) – DHEM continues to play a key role in identifying potential high-grade targets for follow-up drilling and will be completed on all diamond holes and selected RC holes. It is important to note the lack of an EM target does not preclude the presence of highgrade mineralisation.

  • Metallurgical testwork – a preliminary metallurgical testwork program is underway on four ore types – massive, matrix, disseminated and oxide.

About the Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, Western Australia

The 100%-owned Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project is located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia on private land and State Forest. The Project was staked in early 2018 as part of Chalice’s global search for high-potential nickel sulphide exploration opportunities.

Chalice interpreted the possible presence of a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusive complex at Julimar based on high resolution regional magnetics. The large complex is interpreted to be ~26km long and is confirmed to be highly prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements. Prior to Chalice, it had never been explored for these metals ( Figure 8 ).

Figure 8. Julimar Project tenure over regional magnetics.

Chalice commenced a systematic, greenfield exploration program in mid-2019 in the southern portion of the Project, on private land, targeting high-grade Ni-Cu-PGEs.

An initial RC drill program commenced in Q1 2020 and resulted in the discovery of high-grade nickelcopper-cobalt-PGE mineralisation at the newly named Gonneville Intrusion. Drilling to date has established the ~1.6km x 0.8km Intrusion has widespread zones of PGE mineralisation as well as several wide zones of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co +/- Au. The significant discovery established the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.

Four high-grade massive / matrix / heavily disseminated sulphide zones have been intersected to date, which are up to ~30m wide and have been defined over a ~400m x ~350m area. The zones typically have a grade range of 3-15g/t PGEs, 0-1.2g/t Au, 0.5-3.3% Ni, 0.4-4.5% Cu and 0.03-0.27% Co.

==> picture [595 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

Chalice Gold Mines Limited ABN 47 116 648 956 ASX : CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF

11

Broad intervals of PGE mineralisation have been confirmed in all holes drilled to date at the Intrusion and disseminated sulphides (trace to 3% on average) have been identified down to ~450m below surface. Disseminated sulphide zones intersected to date typically have a grade range of 0.5-2.0g/t PGEs, 0.1-0.2% Ni, 0.05-0.15% Cu and 0.01-0.03% Co. In general, metal content appears to show a positive correlation with sulphur content and levels of potentially deleterious elements (arsenic, cadmium, selenium) are all low.

Weathering appears to extend down to ~30-40m below surface and a well-developed saprolite profile after serpentinite contains elevated PGE grades (typically ranging from 1.2-4.5g/t PGEs) from near surface to a depth of ~25m.

About Platinum Group Elements and Palladium

The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are a group of six precious metals clustered together on the periodic table: platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru).

PGEs have many desirable properties and as such have a wide variety of applications. Most notably, they are used as auto-catalysts (pollution control devices for vehicles), but are also used in jewellery, electronics and hydrogen fuel cells.

Palladium is very rare and is currently one of the most valuable precious metals, with an acute supply shortage driving prices to a recent record high of US$2,856/oz in February 2020. The current spot price is approximately US$2,100/oz.

Strong demand growth (~11.5Moz in 2019[1] ) is being driven by regulations requiring increased use of the metal, particularly as an auto-catalyst in gasoline and gasoline-hybrid vehicles. The total palladium market supply from all sources in 2019 was ~10.8Moz, and >75% is sourced from mines in Russia and South Africa[1] .

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.

Individual recoveries of diamond drill core
samples were recorded on a qualitative
basis. Generally sample weights are
comparable and any bias is considered
negligible.

Individual recoveries for RC composite
samples were recorded on a qualitative
basis. Sample weights were slightly lower
through transported cover whereas drilling
through bedrock yielded samples with
more consistent weights.

No relationships have been evident
between diamond core, RC sample
grade andrecoveries.
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

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

All drill holes were logged geologically
including, but not limited to; weathering,
regolith, lithology, structure, texture,
alteration and mineralisation. Logging was
at an appropriate quantitative standard
for reconnaissance exploration.

Logging is considered qualitative in
nature.

All holes were geologically logged in full.

Diamond drill core is photographed wet

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

Diamond core was sawn in half and one-
half quartered and selectively sampled
over 0.2-1.2m intervals (mostly 1m).

Diamond drill core field duplicates
collected as ¼ core.

RC assay samples were collected as two
1m splits from the rig cyclone via a cone
splitter. The cone splitter was horizontal to
ensure sample representivity. Wet or damp
samples were noted in the sample logging
sheet and a majority of samples were dry.

Sample preparation is industry standard
and comprises oven drying, jaw crushing
and pulverising to -75 microns (80% pass).

Field duplicates were collected from
selected sulphide zones as a second 1m
split directly from the cone splitter.

Drill sample sizes are considered
appropriate for the style of mineralisation
sought and the nature of the drilling
program.

Auger soil sampling procedures are
considered to be industry standard
techniques and appropriate for
reconnaissance exploration.

Pd was analysed by 50g fire assay fusion
with an ICP-AES finish (ALS Method code
PGM-ICP24). A 48-element suite was
analysed by ICP-MS following a four-acid
digest (ALS method code ME-MS61)
including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce,

performed as required for elements
reporting out of range for Ni, Cr, Cu (ALS
method code ME-OG-62) and Pd, Pt (ALS
method code PGM-ICP27).

Auger soil samples were analysed for a
suite of elements by aqua regia digest
with an ICP-AES finish. Pt, Pd and Au were
analysed by fire assay with an ICP-MS
finish using a 30g charge.

Certified analytical standards and blanks
were inserted at appropriate intervals for
diamond, RC drill samples and auger soil

Approximately 5% of samples submitted
for analysis comprised QAQC control

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant drill intersections are checked
by the Project Geologist and then by the
General Manager Exploration. Significant
intersections are cross-checked with the
logged geology and drill core after final
assays are received.

One RC was tinned with a diamond hole
to provide drill core for metallurgical
testwork. These holes are were also useful
as a comparison between
grade/thickness variations over a 5m
separation between drill holes.

Primary drill data was collected as hard
copy records in the field and digitised at
the Chalice Perth office where the data is
validated and entered into the master
database.

A 10g/t Au top-cut has been applied to
diamond drill core assays. No other
adjustments were made to the assay data
received.

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Diamond drill holes were typically
positioned as close to orthogonal to the
interpreted dip and strike of the known
zone of mineralisation. However diamond
drill holes JD010 and JD013 were drilled at
less optimal azimuths due to site access
constraints.

Results from the drilling to date are not
considered sufficient to assume any
geological or grade continuity.

Auger soil samples were collected on a
nominal 100m x 50m spacing with infill
samples collected at 25m x 50m spacing
as part of an orientation survey.

No compositing undertaken for diamond
drillcore or RC samples.
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.

The orientation of the mineralisation
reported in diamond and RC drill hole
results is interpreted as close to orthogonal
to the drill holes. JD010 is orientated
about 55 degrees to strike and JD013 at 15
degrees to strike due to site access
constraints.

the area, all primarily targeting Fe-Ti-V
mineralisation.

Over 1971-1972, Garrick Agnew Pty Ltd
undertook reconnaissance surface
sampling over prominent aeromagnetic
anomalies in a search for ‘Coates deposit
style’ vanadium mineralisation. Surface
sampling methodology is not described in
detail, nor were analytical methods
specified, with samples analysed for V2O5,
Ni, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn, results of which are
referred to in this announcement.

Three diamond holes were completed by
Bestbet Pty Ltd targeting Fe-Ti-V situated
approximately 3km NE of JRC001. No
elevated Ni-Cu-PGE assays were
reported.

Bestbet Pty Ltd undertook 27 stream
sediment samples within E70/5119.
Elevated levels of palladium were noted
in the coarse fraction (-5mm+2mm) are
reported in this release. Finer fraction
samples did not replicate the coarse
fraction results.

A local AMAG survey was flown in 1996
by Alcoa using 200m line spacing which
has been used by Chalice for targeting
purposes.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.

The target deposit type is a magmatic Ni-
Cu-PGE sulphide deposit, within the
Yilgarn Craton. The style of sulphide
mineralisation intersected consists of
massive, matrix, stringer and disseminated
sulphides typical of metamorphosed and
structurally overprinted magmatic Ni
sulphide deposits.
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:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.

Provided in body of text
• No material information has been
excluded.

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.

Significant intercepts are reported using a
>0.3g/t Pd length-weighted cut off. A
maximum of 4m internal dilution has been
applied.

Metal equivalent values are not reported.
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.

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’).

All widths are quoted down-hole.

All drill holes were orientated to be as
close as possible to orthogonal to the
interpreted dip of the mineralised zone(s)
and/or targets.
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.

Refer to figures in the body of text.
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.

All significant intercepts have been
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.
Not applicable
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.

Diamond and RC drilling will continue to
test high-priority EM conductors, soil
geochemical targets. Further drilling
along strike and down dip may occur at
these and other targets depending on
results.

Down-hole EM surveying will be carried
out on the majority of diamond and
selectiveRC drill holestotest foroff-hole

undergo down-hole EM if required.

Any potential extensions to mineralisation
are shown in the figures in the body of the
