High-grade Ni-Cu-PGEs confirmed in discovery zone at Julimar

Consistent high-grade mineralisation confirmed over ~75m down dip in the discovery zone plus wide-spaced 20,000m RC drill program now underway

==> picture [510 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

Highlights

  • Assay results received from first two diamond drill holes (JD001-2) at the Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project, ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia.

  • Preliminary visual results for ‘scissor hole’ JD002 were reported previously, however assay results have now confirmed consistent high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation in fresh rock throughout the Gonneville discovery zone:

  • 75.1m @ 6.2g/t Pd, 1.7g/t Pt, 1.7% Ni, 0.7% Cu and 0.10% Co from 34.9m , including:

    • 9.8m @ 7.0g/t Pd, 0.8g/t Pt, 3.3% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 0.18% Co from 34.9m (massive sulphides);

    • 20.4m @ 11.1g/t Pd, 1.1g/t Pt, 3.1% Ni, 1.0% Cu, 0.16% Co from 47.7m (massive sulphides);

    • 33m @ 5.1g/t Pd, 3.0g/t Pt, 1.0% Ni, 0.6% Cu and 0.06% Co from 68.0m (interlayered massivematrix-stringer sulphides).

Note: reported intervals are not true width and at this stage the true width is still unknown

  • JD002 was drilled to intersect the discovery zone (intersected in JRC001) at a low angle to confirm its westerly dip (i.e. it drilled sub-parallel to mineralisation) and provide samples for preliminary metallurgical testwork.

  • The discovery zone remains open along strike .

  • Preliminary visual results for JD001 (drilled 40m down-dip of JRC001) were reported previously, however assay results have now confirmed several narrow PGE-Ni-Cu zones, separated by barren cross-cutting dykes, were intersected – as such the discovery zone remains open at depth and further drilling is required to determine its true dip extent.

  • Initial petrographic and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis on massive and matrix sulphide zones in JD002 has identified various PGE minerals mostly hosted in pyrrhotite – a positive result as it suggests the PGEs within unoxidised mineralisation may be recoverable through flotation processing , however this needs to be confirmed through metallurgical testwork.

  • A ~20,000m Phase 2 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program has commenced at Gonneville, to scope out the extent of the Intrusive on a 200m x 80m grid pattern and to test new high-grade targets at the southern end of the Intrusive.

  • Diamond drilling and down-hole EM continues to target high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE zones. Assays are pending for JD003-4. The SQUID EM survey is also in progress.

  • The 100%-owned Julimar Project covers the entire >26km long Julimar Intrusive Complex (JIC) and ~24km of the highly prospective complex is yet to be explored .

  • Chalice is fully funded to continue its systematic exploration programs in WA and Victoria, with a current cash balance of ~$48 million.

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

New assay results

As reported in an ASX Announcement on 20 April 2020, the second diamond drill hole (JD002) at the Gonneville Intrusive was drilled as a ‘scissor hole’ of JRC001 (19m @ 8.4g/t Pd, 1.1g/t Pt, 2.6% Ni, 1.0% Cu, 0.14% Co from 48m), designed to intersect the high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE discovery zone at a low angle in order to confirm the interpreted westerly dip of the high-grade mineralisation ( Figure 1 ).

As a result, the hole was drilled sub-parallel to the zone and intercept lengths are not true widths. Based on drilling to date, the true width of the zone is still unknown.

==> picture [511 x 300] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. Gonneville Cross Section (6,512,320mN +/- 5m)

As previously reported, based on visual indications, JD002 intersected a strongly mineralised massive and matrix sulphide zone from the base of oxidation. All assays have now been received for this hole, which show consistent high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation from surface to a depth of 101m downhole, in both oxide and fresh rock.

Individual assays for JD002 are detailed in Appendix 1 and show that the massive and matrix sulphide zones in particular have very consistent, high Ni-Cu-Co-PGE grades.

The high-grade discovery zone remains open along strike, however modelling of Moving Loop EM (MLEM) data to date has failed to demonstrate a significant conductive response along strike ( Figure 2 ). This however does not rule out continuity of the mineralised zone along strike, as not all high-grade mineralisation intersected to date has a conductive EM response. As such further drilling is required to determine the true strike extent of the zone.

JD001, drilled 40m down-dip of JRC001, did not intersect massive sulphide mineralisation at the corresponding depth down-dip of the discovery zone, potentially due to a barren cross cutting dyke (refer to ASX Announcement on 15 April 2020).

Assays have confirmed that JD001 has intersected several high-grade PGE zones in matrix/disseminated sulphides, separated by the dyke, as well as several broad PGE zones in disseminated sulphides. As such the discovery zone remains open at depth and further drilling is required to determine its true dip extent.

Further diamond drilling is planned to test for extensions of the high-grade discovery zone, both at depth and along strike.

JWB001 was drilled as a vertical hole collared 40m south of JRC008. The hole intersected a 19m interval of oxide mineralisation from 6m downhole overlying serpentinite bedrock containing 2-3% disseminated sulphides.

Significant new intercepts for the above holes are detailed in Table 1 and updated hole details are provided in Table 2 . All widths reported are down-hole widths (which are not true widths).

Preliminary mineralogy analysis

Initial petrographic and SEM analysis undertaken on selective samples of massive and matrix sulphide mineralisation in JD002 has confirmed previous visual logging with the main sulphide assemblage identified as hypogene pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite.

Optical mineralogy and SEM has identified various PGE minerals as inclusions within pyrrhotite including merenskyite (PdTeBi), menshikovite (PdNiAs), kotulskite (PdTeBi) and mertieite (PdSbAs). The association of PGEs with sulphides is viewed as encouraging for the potential recovery of PGEs through flotation processing of sulphide ores, however this needs to be confirmed through metallurgical testwork.

In addition, SEM analysis of pentlandite shows up to 2.3% cobalt, indicating this metal is directly associated with nickel.

Forward plan

Chalice continues its approach of simultaneously exploring and evaluating the high-grade and extensive low-grade zones within the Gonneville discovery. Ongoing and planned activities at Julimar include:

  • Diamond drilling will continue to test key DHEM targets. The current hole, JD004, is designed to twin JRC010 and provide metallurgical samples for testwork.

  • Down-hole EM will continue to play a critical role in identifying potential high-grade targets for follow-up drilling and will be completed on all holes.

  • SQUID EM surveying is in progress, aiming to provide a deeper detection capacity than the previous ground MLEM survey.

  • RC drilling – a ~20,000m Phase 2 RC drill program will commence shortly. One RC rig is being mobilised to site today and a second RC rig will be mobilised in the coming weeks. Drilling is being undertaken on a 200m x 80m spaced grid over the Gonneville Intrusive to give sectional east-west coverage as well to test new high-grade targets at the southern end of the Intrusive.

  • Mineralogy/Metallurgy – mineralogy and petrographic analysis is ongoing and a preliminary metallurgical testwork program has commenced 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 ~7km wide and considered prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements. However, it had never been explored for these metals ( Figure 3 ).

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. This included 200m-spaced Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) with selective 100m infill lines, targeted soil geochemistry over high-priority MLEM conductors, and geological mapping which failed to identify any bedrock exposures over the area of interest.

Two MLEM conductors were shown to be associated with anomalous nickel-in-soils and preferentially located along the margins of a ~2km x 0.5km discrete magnetic anomaly interpreted as a potential feeder zone located near the southern extent of the intrusive complex.

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 Gonneville Intrusive has widespread zones of PGE mineralisation as well as several wide zones of highgrade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE.

PGE mineralisation has been confirmed in 13 RC holes drilled to date over the ~1.6km x 0.7km Intrusive and disseminated sulphides (trace to 3% on average) have been identified up to ~450m below surface. Disseminated sulphide zones intersected to date have a grade range of 0.5-1.1g/t PGEs, <0.2% Ni, <0.15% Cu and <0.05% Co. In general, metal content appears to show a positive correlation with sulphur content. High-grade massive or matrix sulphide zones intersected to date are up to ~30m wide and 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.

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 ~US$2,000/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 msamples from which 3 kg was

Diamond drill core samples were taken
over selective intervals ranging from 0.2m
to 1.2m (typically 1.0m).

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling samples
were collected as 1m to 4m samples. 1m
samples were collected as a split from the
rig cyclone using a cone splitter.
Composite samples were collected from
bulk samples using a PVC spear with the
sample speared from top to bottom of the
bag to ensure the sample is
representative. Composite and 1m
samples weigh approximately 3kg.

All samples pulverised to nominal 85%

were consistent when sampling on a
metre by metre basis.
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
and Reverse circulation (RC) techniques.
Diamond drill core is HQ size (63.5mm
diameter) with triple tube used from
surface and standard tube in competent
bedrock. RC drilling utilised a face-
sampling hammer drill bit with a diameter
of5.5inches (140mm).
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/gainof fine/coarse material.

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

No relationships have been evident
between RC sample grade and
recoveries.
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.

All 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.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

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 selectively sampled over 0.2-1.2m
intervals (mostly 1m).

1m RC samples were collected as 1m splits
from the rig cyclone via a cone splitter.
The cone splitter was horizontal to ensure
sample representivity. Composite samples
were collected from bulk samples using a
PVC spear with the bulk sample speared
from top to bottom of the bag to ensure
the sample is as representative as possible.
The majority of samples were dry. Wet or
damp samples were noted in the sample
logging sheet.

Diamond drill core field duplicates
collected as ¼ core.

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

Sample sizes are considered appropriate

The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF 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.

Diamond drill core and RC samples
underwent sample preparation and
geochemical analysis by ALS Perth. Au-Pt-
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,
Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li,
Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S,
Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y,
Zn, Zr. Additional ore-grade analysis was
performed as required for elements
reporting out of range for Ni, Cr, Cu (ALS
method code ME-OG-62).

Certified analytical standards and blanks
were inserted at appropriate intervals for
diamond and RC drill samples.
Approximately 5% of samples submitted
for analysis comprised QAQC control
samples.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

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 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 and RC drill
chips after final assays are received.

No twin holes have been drilled for
comparative purposes. The target is still
considered to be at an early exploration
stage.

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.

No adjustments have been made to the
assay datareceived.
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.

Diamond and RC hole collar locations are
initially recorded by Chalice employees
using a handheld GPS with a +/- 3m
margin of error.

DGPS collar pick-ups replace handheld
GPS collar pick-ups and have <1m margin
of error.

The grid system used for the location of all
drill holes is GDA94 - MGA (Zone 50). The
grid system used for stream sediment
samples was WGS84 (UTM).

RLs were assigned either from 1 sec (30m)
satellite data or DGPS pick-ups.

geological or grade continuity.

No compositing undertaken for diamond
drill core samples.RC samples have been
composited to a maximum of 4m based
on consistent geology.
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 in
JD002 is interpreted as a low angle to the
drill hole.

impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.

Diamond and RC holes were drilled on
E70/5118 and 5119 on private property.
The licences are 100% owned by CGM
(WA) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Chalice Gold Mines Limited with no
known encumbrances.

Current drilling is on private land and
granted tenure covers both private land
and State Forest.

Access for exploration in the State Forest
requires Ministerial approval which has
notyetbeenobtained.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Limited exploration has been completed
by other exploration parties in the vicinity
of the targets identified by Chalice to
date.

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
samplingmethodologyis 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 deposit type being explored for is
magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits
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

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

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.
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 hole JD002 is interpreted as
low angle to drill hole and true width is
not known.

All drill holes except JD002 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 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.
