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

Three rigs (two RC and one diamond) are currently drilling at the Gonneville Intrusive – where Chalice recently made a high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE discovery in March 2020 (refer ASX Announcement 23 March 2020). Drilling results continue to demonstrate the Intrusive hosts both high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE zones in massive / matrix sulphides and widespread PGE mineralisation in disseminated sulphides.

In addition, a deep penetrating HT SQUID EM survey was recently completed over the entire ~1.6km x ~0.7km Intrusive with the aim of identifying new deep EM targets and possible continuations of existing EM targets beyond the depth capacity of the previous Moving Loop EM (MLEM) survey. Preliminary results are promising and modelling / interpretation is ongoing.

An additional moving loop EM survey is underway to validate the results and ensure that no surficial conductive sources are influencing the survey.

Drilling results – G2 Zone

Assays have been received for diamond hole JD003, while assays for a further ten completed drill holes (5 diamond and 5 RC) are currently pending.

JD003 was drilled ~190m north of the discovery hole (JRC001), targeting a high-priority off-hole conductor identified from the DHEM survey of JRC004. Preliminary visual logging results for JD003 were reported previously (refer ASX Announcement on 5 May 2020).

Assays have confirmed a high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu matrix sulphide zone that has exceeded expectations (17.6m @ 5.3g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt, 1.3% Ni, 0.6% Cu, 0.07% Co from 191.4m) and demonstrated that matrix sulphides can host exceptionally high PGE-Ni-Cu grades.

JD003 also intersected a near-surface PGE-rich oxide interval (19m @ 1.6g/t Pd, 0.4g/t Pt from 9m) as well as several broad PGE-rich disseminated sulphide intervals throughout the hole down to a depth of ~461m ( Figure 1 ). All significant new intercepts are detailed in Table 1 .

==> picture [511 x 331] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. Gonneville Cross Section JRC004, 008 and JD003 (6,512,508mN +/- 10m).

The 17.6m wide high-grade matrix sulphide intercept in JD003 is interpreted as the down-plunge extension of the high-grade matrix sulphide zone intersected in JRC006 (previously referred to as the ‘East Zone’ and now referred to as the ‘G2 Zone’).

The result extends this zone to over ~200m of strike length and the zone remains wide open in all directions

( Figure 2 ).

Importantly, while EM was effective in targeting the matrix sulphide zone in JD003, the zone does not have a consistent EM response – possibly the result of a lower overall abundance of sulphides compared with massive sulphides. It is evident that even high-grade matrix sulphide mineralisation does not necessarily give a strong EM response, opening up the possibility of further ‘blind’ discoveries outside of known mineralised zones previously surveyed with EM.

The G2 Zone has also been intersected in recently completed diamond drill holes JD006 and JD007, located approximately 80m south of JD003.

Based on visually logging, JD006 intersected 6.5m of matrix sulphides from 167m and JD007 intersected 4.4m of matrix sulphides from 107m down-hole ( Figure 3 ). Assays are pending for both of these intercepts.

==> picture [511 x 325] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Gonneville Cross Section JD006, 007 (6,512,430mN +/- 10m).

The G2 Zone remains open in all directions and the recent drill holes have increased the geological confidence in the continuity of the zone between intercepts. The matrix sulphide intervals are located within broad zones of disseminated sulphides which is consistent with results from drilling elsewhere within the Gonneville Intrusive.

Drilling results – G3 Zone

A new shallow 6.5m wide interval of matrix/breccia sulphides was intersected in JD006 from 32m downhole (based on visual logging), which is interpreted as a potential new, parallel zone (named the ‘G3 Zone’). All assays are pending for this intercept.

The interval was logged as 20-40% coarse-grained sulphides (pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pentlandite) hosted in a coarse-grained pegmatoidal amphibole-dominant (ex-pyroxene) mafic rock unit ( Figure 4 ).

A series of narrow and widely-spaced dolerite dykes have been identified and these appear to be part of a regional dyke swarm that is interpreted to have cut through the Gonneville Intrusive and associated sulphide zones post mineralisation.

Forward plan

Chalice is continuing its approach of simultaneously exploring and evaluating the extensive high-grade and low-grade PGE-Ni-Cu zones within the large-scale Gonneville Intrusive.

The Company is aiming to define a preliminary maiden Mineral Resource Estimate within ~12 months, which will be used in subsequent preliminary economic modelling.

Ongoing and planned activities at Julimar include:

• Access approvals – the approval process to conduct non-ground disturbing exploration activities within the Julimar State Forest is underway.

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

• 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 ~0.7km Gonneville Intrusive to provide

sectional east-west coverage and, once approved, to test the extension of the G1 and G2 Zones to the south, where the Company is awaiting permit approval.

• Diamond drilling will continue to step-out along the matrix sulphide zones and test new DHEM targets. The current hole, JD008, is being drilled ~80m north of JD003, targeting the northern extension of the G2 Zone.

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

An indicative project schedule is detailed in Figure 5 .

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 ~7km wide and considered prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements. However, it had never been explored for these metals ( Figure 6 ).

==> picture [482 x 474] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6. 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 Intrusive. Drilling to date has established the ~1.6km x 0.7km Intrusive has widespread zones of PGE mineralisation as well as several wide zones of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu. The significant discovery established a new Ni-Cu-PGE province.

High-grade massive / matrix sulphide zones intersected to date are up to ~30m wide and have been defined over a 200m x 100m area. The zones have a grade range of 3-12g/t PGEs, 0.5-3.3% Ni, 0.4-1.2% Cu and 0.03-0.18% Co.

Broad intervals of PGE mineralisation have been confirmed in all holes drilled to date at the Intrusive and disseminated sulphides (trace to 3% on average) have been identified down to ~450m below surface. Disseminated sulphide zones intersected to date have a grade range of 0.5-1.1g/t PGEs, 0.1-0.2% Ni, 0.050.15% Cu and <0.05% 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 (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$1,900/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] .

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 warrant disclosure of detailed information.	• Diamond drill core samples were taken over selective intervals ranging from 0.2m to 1.2m (typically 1.0m). Qualitative care taken when sampling diamond drill core to sample the same half of the drill core. • All samples pulverised to nominal 85% passing 75 microns before being analysed.
Drilling techniques	• Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg. 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).	• Drilling has been undertaken by diamond techniques.

			• Chalice has compiled historical records dating back to the early 1960’s which indicate only three genuine explorers in 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	• Provided in body of text • No material information has been excluded.

		report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
	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. No top cuts were 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. The orientation of the mineralisation in diamond drill holes JD003, 6 and 7 are interpreted as high angle to drill hole and true width is not known. • 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.	• A high temperature SQUID EM survey was undertaken by GEM Geophysics utilising two fixed-loops with the configuration of 1330m x 1000m (Nth) and 740m x 1000m (Sth) with stations read at 150m x 50m intervals. A total of 299 stations recorded using a Jessy Deeps HTS receiver at 0.25Hz and 60 A.
	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	• 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.

		geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	• Down-hole EM surveying will be carried out on the majority of drill holes to test for off-hole conductors. Subsequent holes will undergo down-hole EM if required. • Any potential extensions to mineralisation are shown in the figures in the body of the text.
