Proposed Demerger

  • « Latest drilling results continue to demonstrate the belt-scale potential of the 100%-owned, >5,000km[2] Pyramid Hill Gold Project in the prolific Bendigo Zone of Victoria .

  • « As such, Chalice has decided to pursue a demerger and IPO of Pyramid Hill and its other gold projects in Q4 2021 , subject to finalising the transaction structure and obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals.

  • « A separate, gold-focused entity is considered the optimal structure to maximise value for our shareholders , given Chalice’s strategic focus on Julimar and the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province in WA.

Pyramid Hill Drilling Results – Karri Prospect

  • « Second phase of diamond drilling (11 holes for 3,840m) recently completed at the >4km long Karri Prospect on ~1km spaced drill lines.

  • « Several primary zones of high-grade gold intersected over >2.5km of strike length , including:

  • « 5.1m @ 14.0g/t Au from 100.9m incl. 2.2m @ 32.2g/t Au (PHDH015)

  • « 6.0m @ 2.1g/t Au from 261m incl. 1m @ 11.8g/t Au (PHDH019)

  • « 8.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 202m (PHDH015)

  • « 20m @ 0.6g/t Au from 193m incl. 3m @ 1.7g/t Au (PHDH017)

  • « The gold zones are associated with stockwork quartz veining +/- minor sulphide within tightly folded Castlemaine Group sediments – a characteristic feature of the large gold systems in the Bendigo Zone including Fosterville (>9Moz Au) and Bendigo (>22Moz Au) .

  • « Results have further upgraded the prospect and infill diamond drilling is planned.

Pyramid Hill Drilling Results – Reconnaissance air-core (AC) drilling

  • « Second phase of wide-spaced reconnaissance AC drilling (329 holes for 34,705m) also completed within the undercover Muckleford and Mt William areas (NW and NE of Fosterville).

  • « Several significant new shallow gold intersections at the Ironbark Prospect , including:

  • « 6m @ 3.8g/t Au from 56m (PA943)

  • « 29m @ 0.8g/t Au from 97m incl. 13m @ 1.5g/t Au to end-of-hole (EOH) (PA953)

  • « 20m @ 0.6g/t Au from 104m incl. 8m @ 1.4g/t Au (PA923)

  • « Results warrant further diamond and AC drilling, which is planned as follow-up.

Overview

Chalice Mining Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”, ASX: CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to announce that it intends to pursue a demerger of its Australian gold assets , subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The decision follows a strategic review of Chalice’s portfolio which concluded that a demerger of the Company’s gold projects (including the district-scale, 100%-owned Pyramid Hill Gold Project in Victoria) is the optimal structure to maximise value for our shareholders. A demerger would also allow Chalice to focus on its world-class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project and the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province in Western Australia.

A demerger would aim to deliver Chalice shareholders a standalone, listed, Australian gold-focused exploration company with a strong balance sheet to target tier-1 gold discoveries in Victoria and WA.

The demerged entity would hold the largest land position (>5,000km[2] ) in the Bendigo Zone of Victoria, which hosts Kirkland Lake Gold’s (NYSE / TSX: KL | ASX: KLA) world-class Fosterville Gold Mine (~9Moz Au endowment) and the historic Bendigo Goldfield (>22Moz Au endowment). The entity’s portfolio would be further enhanced by Chalice’s other high-potential gold projects, including the highly prospective Viking Project in WA (where Chalice is earning up to a 70% JV interest).

Key advisors have been engaged to commence preparations on the proposed demerger. The potential transaction structure will be finalised subject to receiving legal, financial and taxation advice, and communication with regulatory authorities. The potential transaction is subject to obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Company will provide further details in the coming months as these matters are progressed.

Chalice is also pleased to report significant results from the latest exploration program at its Pyramid Hill Gold Project, where it has continued systematic exploration drilling activities throughout the 20202021 field season. A total of 21 diamond holes for 7,300m and 1,120 AC holes for 117,000m have been completed across this exciting greenfield project since its initial staking in late 2017.

A second phase of diamond drilling was completed during the recent field season at the Karri Prospect (11 holes for 3,840m), which intersected several high-grade gold zones in highly prospective, tightly folded, Castlemaine Group stratigraphy, under 50-70m of Murray Basin cover.

A second phase of AC drilling was also completed at the Ironbark Prospect and an initial phase of reconnaissance AC drilling was completed on new target areas at the southern end of the Muckleford area (NW of Bendigo/Fosterville) and at the western end of the Mt William area (NE of Fosterville). Several highly encouraging shallow primary gold zones were intersected at Ironbark and several new prospects have been defined in the Muckleford area.

Chalice Mining Limited

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

Chalice’s Managing Director, Alex Dorsch, said: “The proposed demerger provides an exciting opportunity for our shareholders to benefit from the creation of a standalone, well-funded Australian gold exploration company with a high-quality asset base in Victoria and WA.

“The board has made this decision after conducting a detailed review of our portfolio in light of the enormous success we have enjoyed over the past 18 months at our flagship Julimar Nickel-CopperPGE Project in WA. The Julimar discovery has transformed the Company and unlocked a new worldclass mineral province in WA, setting Chalice firmly on course to become a globally significant player in the critical ‘green metals’ space.

“This review concluded that the creation of a new gold-focused explorer would be the optimal structure to ensure that the full potential of the gold portfolio can be realised, while allowing Chalice to continue to focus on completing the resource drill-out and rapidly advancing studies at Julimar.

“The compelling recent exploration results in both Victoria and WA have added further rationale to a potential demerger. Exploration activities are ramping up considerably across the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province in WA following our continued success at Julimar, while recent drilling in Victoria has continued to provide excitement in the background, as outlined further in this announcement.

“The recent results at Pyramid Hill are tantalising from a greenfield exploration perspective, given the immense regional endowment in the Bendigo Zone. We are also eagerly anticipating our first drill program at the Viking Project in WA in Q4 2021, where we will be following up on some shallow highgrade gold intersections. We look forward to working closely with the new entity as it scales up exploration both in Victoria and WA.”

Drilling results – Pyramid Hill

Karri Prospect

The Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Karri prospect (11 holes for 3,840m) has identified multiple gold zones in highly prospective, tightly folded, Castlemaine Group stratigraphy. This geological unit hosts >60Moz of high-grade historical gold production from the outcropping areas of the Bendigo Zone to the south of the Project.

Drilling was designed to provide broad geological coverage along a >4km long gold trend outlined from shallow AC drilling under Murray Basin cover (Figure 1). Several high-grade gold zones were intersected over >2.5km of strike length, with significant new drill intersections including:

  • « 5.1m @ 14.0g/t Au from 100.9m incl. 2.2m @ 32.2g/t Au (PHDH015)

  • « 6.0m @ 2.1g/t Au from 261m incl. 1m @ 11.8g/t Au (PHDH019)

  • « 8.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 202m (PHDH015)

  • « 20m @ 0.6g/t Au from 193m incl. 3m @ 1.7g/t Au (PHDH017)

Gold mineralisation is associated with zones of elevated arsenic (arsenopyrite) which occurs in both quartz sulphide veins and as sulphide stringers. Distal ferroan carbonate is located peripheral to mineralised zones within bedding and cleavage planes, a well-documented alteration mineral in larger orogenic gold systems in Victoria.

Figure 1. Karri Prospect Plan View – diamond and AC drilling results over 1VD gravity.

Detailed geological logging and orientated drill core has been used to develop an initial 3D structural and stratigraphic model to assist with defining potential plunge orientations to the mineralised gold zones (Figure 2).

Chalice Mining Limited

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

Stratigraphic and structural correlation across the prospect has defined four major upright anticlinal fold hinges which show a consistent ~15° southerly plunge. The identification of a plunge orientation at Karri is an important step in understanding the structural setting, as many orogenic gold deposits display a preferential alignment of gold shoots/zones along a preferred plunge orientation.

Figure 2. Karri Prospect – 3D geology model with key cross sections and drill results.

Ironbark Prospect

Infill AC drilling at Ironbark North was completed over the eastern diorite contact and across a new target at Ironbark East. All target areas and significant gold intervals are proximal to diorite intrusive contacts against strongly hornfelsed and/or bleached Castlemaine Group sediments. The diorites have intruded into the Castlemaine Group sediments prior to the gold mineralisation event as both rock-types are cut by gold-bearing structures/veins.

These geological relationships are consistent with those recorded in the Walhalla-Woods Point Goldfields in the Melbourne Zone (e.g., Cohen’s Reef ~1.5Moz Au @ 32.2g/t Au) but have not previously been recognised in the Bendigo Zone. The diorites are interpreted to have been

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

emplaced along the same host structures to the later mineralising gold fluids and hence provide direct targets for exploration.

==> picture [483 x 525] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Ironbark Prospect Plan View – Drilling results over magnetics.

Ironbark North Diorite

At Ironbark North, the eastern diorite contact gold intercepts are coincident with strong antimony (stibnite) and arsenic (arsenopyrite) with grades up to 1,585ppm Sb and 5,280ppm As respectively (Figure 3). Significant new drill intersections include:

  • 20m @ 0.64g/t Au from 104m incl. 8m @ 1.39g/t Au (PA923)

  • 6m @ 3.84g/t Au from 56m (PA943)

  • 7m @ 0.59g/t Au from 99m to EOH (PA935)

Chalice Mining Limited

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

The gold mineralisation is associated with quartz veining and small-scale sulphide stringers and/or disseminations throughout the host rock. One diamond hole (PHDH009) tested the eastern contact at depth and returned elevated gold, arsenic and antimony (5m @ 0.68g/t Au, 1,984ppm As, 411ppm Sb). Ironbark North is a priority target for additional step-out diamond drilling along strike.

Ironbark East Diorite

Gold mineralisation at Ironbark East is associated with strongly bleached Castlemaine Group sandstone (PA918) and deeply weathered diorite (PA953) (Figure 4). Significant new drill intersections include:

  • 29m @ 0.82g/t Au from 97m incl. 13m @ 1.52g/t Au to EOH (PA953)

  • 9m @ 0.91g/t Au from 61m (PA918)

Gold mineralisation in PA953 (13m @ 1.52g/t Au) is coincidental with strong arsenic (up to 2000ppm) and the zone remains open at the end of hole (EOH). Ironbark East is a priority target for infill and extension AC drilling prior to first pass diamond drilling.

Muckleford Area Reconnaissance

Targeting and drilling approach

10 regionally spaced (3-10km) AC lines totalling 155 holes for 16,024m were drilled in the southern end of the Muckleford area as a first-pass drill test of the area. Drill spacing was designed to screen a large area of ground quickly in search of potential large-scale gold systems.

The first-pass drilling identified two new areas of significant gold anomalism at the newly named Banksia and Wandoo prospects (Figure 5). These new prospects remain at an early stage of exploration and require a considerable amount of follow-up drilling to define the extent of gold anomalism discovered to date.

Figure 5. Muckleford Area Plan View – AC drilling results over geology

Banksia Prospect

Four very wide-spaced first-pass AC drill lines were completed in the southern Muckleford area, returning significant results from both transported alluvial gravels and Castlemaine Group basement. Gold within transported quartz gravels was defined over an inferred ~10km strike length, with significant results including:

  • « 4m @ 2.39g/t Au (PA861)

  • « 10m @ 1.99g/t Au (PA817)

  • « 16m @ 0.36g/t Au incl. 2m @ 1.17g/t (PA866)

Selected intersections were re-sampled at 1m intervals and assayed by 50g fire assay (in addition to the original 25g aqua regia assays). Some variability exists between the aqua regia and fire assay results which is likely attributed to the re-sampling of the intervals within a nuggetty (alluvial/placer) gold environment. Comparative assay results are shown in the appendices.

Chalice Mining Limited

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

Many historical goldfields in Victoria have a significant alluvial/placer gold component, which commonly occurs proximal to underlying primary gold lodes. The relevant contribution of production is shown in the table below.

Table 1. Historical goldfields production (Bendigo Zone)[1]

Goldfield Primary (hard rock) production(Moz) Alluvial/Placerproduction(Moz)
Bendigo 17.3 5.0
Ballarat 2.1 11.0
Fosterville 3.5* 0.9
Castlemaine 0.9 4.7
Maldon 1.8 0.3
Creswick 0.03 1.7

Future infill AC drilling at Banksia will be designed to establish the footprint of the alluvial gold mineralisation which may vector towards higher gold grades and a potential bedrock source of the transported gold.

Elevated gold in basement was also returned in two holes – PA877 (8m @ 0.70g/t Au incl. 4m @ 1.29g/t Au to EOH) and PA865 (4m @ 1.06g/t Au), which is considered highly encouraging given the earlystage nature of the drilling completed to date. These intersections will be further tested with infill and extensional AC drilling.

Wandoo Prospect

Three wide-spaced first-pass AC drill lines were completed in the southern Muckleford area, ~15km west of the Bendigo Goldfield.

Several encouraging gold and pathfinder zones were intersected, including PA761 (8m @ 0.15g/t Au) and PA762 (8m @ 0.14g/t Au). These gold intersections are comparable to the initial AC results at the Karri Prospect at the equivalent stage of exploration and are therefore considered worthy of further exploration.

Forward plan

Planning is underway in preparation for the next round of exploration drilling at Pyramid Hill, which is expected to commence in Q4 2021. Future diamond and AC drilling programs are planned at the Karri, Ironbark, Banksia and Wandoo prospects. Initial reconnaissance AC drilling is also planned over new targets on recently granted tenure.

About the Pyramid Hill Gold Project, Victoria

The 100%-owned Pyramid Hill Gold Project was staked in late 2017 and now covers an area of >5,000km[2] in the Bendigo Zone of Victoria. The Project comprises three key districts within the Murray Basin covered North Bendigo and North Stawell Zones: Muckleford, Mt William and Percydale (Figure 6).

==> picture [483 x 379] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6. Pyramid Hill Gold Project tenure, prospects, regional land holders, gold deposits and occurrences.

The central Muckleford Area extends to the north-west of the high-grade historic >22Moz Bendigo Goldfield. The Mt William Area extends to the north-east of one of the world’s highest-grade producing gold mines, the ~9Moz Fosterville Gold Mine owned by Kirkland Lake Gold (NYSE / TSX: KL

Chalice Mining Limited

ASX:CHN OTCQB:CGMLF

| ASX: KLA). The Percydale Area is located north-west of the historical St Arnaud Goldfield within the Stawell Zone.

The ‘Gold Undercover’ initiative by the Victorian Government in 2006-2009 estimated a potential ~32Moz (P50 mid-case) of undiscovered gold beneath Murray Basin cover in the Bendigo Zone. However, the vast majority of the covered area remains sparsely explored. Given there is highly variable, shallow cover over a large portion of the Project, the Company believes that there is excellent potential for the discovery of new commercially viable gold deposits.

Chalice is targeting tier-1 scale (>US$1bn NPV), high-grade gold discoveries under cover and commenced its systematic, regional-scale greenfield exploration program in 2018. The Company is utilising all available targeting tools at its disposal, including the substantial pre-existing regional geophysics database (including crustal scale 2D seismic), regional-scale soil sampling and ground geophysics.

Low-cost reconnaissance air-core (AC) drilling to the top of the target basement on wide-spaced lines is currently being used effectively to narrow the target search space over the very large project area. More than 1,100 drill holes have been completed to date, outlining multiple high-priority prospects as well as several lower-priority targets within the Muckleford and Mt William Areas.
