Overview

Chalice Mining Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”, ASX: CHN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its 100%-owned Julimar Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (PGE) Project , located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia.

Exploration activities are continuing across the >30km strike length Julimar Complex, with two diamond drill rigs currently drilling at the Hooley Prospect (~5km north of Gonneville) and two rigs continuing extensional drilling at the Gonneville Deposit – current Mineral Resource Estimate (Resource) of 560Mt @ 0.88g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.015% Co (~0.54% NiEq or ~1.7g/t PdEq)[4] .

Drilling has continued to intersect sulphide mineralisation in holes targeting the continuation of the Julimar Complex to the north of Gonneville. Several encouraging zones of mineralisation have been intersected over a strike length of ~10km, which confirms Julimar is a large-scale mineral system with the potential for multiple discrete Ni-Cu-PGE deposits.

The drilling completed to date supports the interpretation of the Gonneville Intrusion (and the broader Julimar Complex) as having a rare chonolith-like geometry, which is similar to other major ultramafic-mafic orthomagmatic systems worldwide that host some of the world’s largest nickelcopper+/-PGE deposits, including Norilsk-Talnakh and Jinchuan (Barnes et al, 2016[5] ).

Chalice's ongoing reconnaissance exploration drilling program in the Julimar State Forest is utilising specialist diamond drill rigs with a small footprint and does not involve any mechanised clearing of vegetation or excavation. Comprehensive flora, fauna and cultural heritage surveys and monitoring are being undertaken according to industry best practice. The low-impact exploration program is strictly governed by a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) approved by the WA Government in late 2021.

Planning for additional exploration drilling within the Hartog-Hooley-Dampier strike length, as well as initial exploration drilling on existing access tracks at the Baudin-Jansz-Torres targets at the northern end of the Complex is underway. This program is expected to commence in Q3 2023.

Chalice’s multi-track value creation strategy at Julimar is to continue initial exploration to determine the full scale of the mineral system, advance development studies and progress regulatory approvals for a potential mine at Gonneville (located on Chalice-owned farmland) and complete a strategic partnering process for the development of Gonneville.

Hooley exploration drilling

New reconnaissance exploration drill holes at the Hooley Prospect, located ~5km to the north of the Gonneville Resource, have continued to intersect significant nickel-copper-PGE sulphide zones (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Significant new drill intersections (down-hole and estimated true widths quoted) include:

  • « 32m (22m ETW) @ 2.2g/t 3E, 0.2% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.01% Co (1.0% NiEq) from 88m (HD060) incl:

Due to drill site access restrictions, several holes have been drilled from each site and therefore not all holes have been drilled orthogonal to the interpreted dip and strike of the mineralisation. The true width of the mineralised zones is estimated above.

The PGE-dominant mineralisation at Hooley shows a similar sulphide style and geological setting to that of the Gonneville Deposit, which comprises broad zones of disseminated pyrrhotite +/chalcopyrite +/- pentlandite (1-5% vol sulphides) with localised matrix style sulphides (<30% vol sulphides).

Litho-geochemical analysis of the holes drilled at Hooley shows the same broad ultramafic-mafic intrusion domains as evident in the Gonneville Intrusion including pyroxenite (and localised harzburgite) through to leucogabbro at the top with the same geochemical signature as the central and upper parts of the Gonneville Intrusion. Elevated platinum relative to palladium grades are also observed at Hooley, similar to what is observed in the upper parts of the Gonneville deposit.

Narrow zones of stringer massive sulphides (e.g. 0.33m @ 1.6g/t 3E, 1.4% Ni, 0.59% Cu, 0.10% Co, from 204.3m in HD059) occur at/below the footwall contact of the Hooley Intrusion, showing that the complex is prospective for high grade base metal- rich massive sulphides.

Drilling indicates that the Hooley Intrusion is relatively narrow close to surface with an estimated thickness of between 80-150m. However, drilling from a number of drill sites indicates that it is increasing in thickness down-dip. The upper contact of the Intrusion with the overlying gneiss consistently dips at ~45º to north-west, however the footwall contact is often much steeper – up to 60º in some locations.

Sub-vertical, post-mineralisation dolerite dykes are common in the area and, given surface access restrictions, orienting these holes to avoid these dykes is not always possible. Consequently, some drill holes intersected predominantly dolerite and little to no intrusive geology. At Gonneville, the dolerite dykes range in thickness from <5m to ~40m.

While the results continue to be promising, geology and mineralisation is variable between holes and interpretation is difficult because of restricted access.

A comparison of the litho-geochemical signatures of the mineralised intrusive rocks (Gonneville, Hartog and Hooley) to un-mineralised intrusive rocks intersected in drilling further east of the Hooley/Dampier Intrusion show distinctly different parental signatures.

This work, together with encouraging exploration results received to date over initial drilling along the Hooley-Dampier trend, show that this package is likely to be a strike continuation of the Gonneville Intrusive and therefore will be the focus of continuing exploration follow-up.

2D seismic surveys

Two new lines of 2D seismic were completed along the Julimar Complex on existing access tracks located ~4km and ~10km north of Gonneville which transect the undrilled northern extension of Hartog and the less drilled southern part of Dampier.

A preliminary interpretation of these new lines indicates a series of moderate west-dipping reflectors to the depth limits of the survey (~2.5km), highlighting the potential for significant extensions of the intrusive geology beyond the current limit of drilling. Further deep drill testing is planned in Q3 2023 upon receipt of approvals.

A third 2D seismic survey line located ~500m south of Gonneville on Chalice-owned farmland indicates a potential continuation of the host intrusion/prospective stratigraphy south of the Resource in an area previously considered to be stoped-out by shallow post-mineralisation granite.

Given the prevalence of high-grade nickel-copper mineralisation at the southern end of Gonneville and the potential ~2.5km of strike length on open farmland yet to be tested, this target horizon is prioritised for initial drilling in the coming weeks.

Gonneville Resource drilling

Results have been received for an additional six diamond holes at Gonneville drilled beyond the extent of the current Resource (28 March 2023).

Hartog exploration drilling

Two holes have been drilled into the Hartog Target, which is interpreted to be the fault-offset continuation of the Julimar Complex to the north of the Gonneville Intrusion. The holes were collared ~1.5km to the north-west of the updated Resource.

Narrow zones of ultramafic geology were intersected in these holes, with a best intersection of 28m @ 0.5g/t 3E, 0.1% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.4% NiEq) from 1028m (HD078) and 2.5m @ 1g/t 3E, 0.1% Ni, 0.02% Co (0.5% NiEq) from 569.5m (HD074). While no immediate follow-up is planned, additional drilling along ~3km of untested strike length to the north will commence in Q3 upon receipt of approvals.

About the Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project

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

Chalice discovered the Gonneville Deposit in the very first drill hole at the project in March 2020, intersecting shallow high-grade PGE-nickel-copper-cobalt-gold sulphide mineralisation. Gonneville is located on private farmland at the southern end of the newly discovered >30km long Julimar Complex.

In November 2021, Chalice defined a tier-1 scale, pit-constrained maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (Resource) for Gonneville. The maiden Resource confirmed Gonneville is one of the largest recent nickel-copper-PGE sulphide discoveries worldwide, and the largest PGE discovery in Australian history – demonstrating the potential for Julimar to become a strategic, long-life green metals asset.

In March 2023, the Resource for Gonneville was updated to 560Mt @ 0.88g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.015% Co (~0.54% NiEq or ~1.7g/t PdEq) (refer to ASX Announcement on 28 March 2023 and Appendix A).

The Resource includes a significant higher-grade sulphide component starting from a depth of ~30m, affording the project significant optionality in development and the potential to materially enhance project economics in the initial years of operations.

The Gonneville Resource is interpreted to cover just ~7% of the interpreted Julimar Complex strike length, with initial large scale exploration activities underway over the remaining strike length. As such the region is considered highly prospective for further orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE discoveries.

The majority of the Julimar Complex lies beneath a portion of the Julimar State Forest, a ~29,000ha area administered by the Government of WA under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984. Exploration and mining activities may be permitted within State Forest areas with the concurrence of both the Minister for Environment and Minister for Mines in WA, subject to normal regulatory approval processes.

The Julimar State Forest was the subject of intensive forestry activities until the 1970’s, after which time the area was proposed to be upgraded to a Conservation Park. The proposal has not been progressed, largely because the mineral potential of the area is not sufficiently known and partly because the southern portion of the State Forest is within an existing bauxite mining state agreement (ML 1SA).

Chalice's ongoing exploration drilling program in the Julimar State Forest is utilising specialist diamond drill rigs with a small footprint and does not involve any mechanised clearing of vegetation or excavation. Comprehensive flora, fauna and cultural heritage surveys and monitoring are being undertaken according to industry best practice. The low-impact exploration program is strictly governed by a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) approved by the WA Government in late 2021.

Chalice sees exploration and mining activities within a small portion of the State Forest as an overwhelming net positive to the environment, as the green metals at Julimar play a key role in enabling decarbonisation technologies, and the vast majority of the ~29,000ha area not impacted by mining could ultimately be upgraded in conservation status.

Chalice believes in being part of the solution to climate change by responsibly discovering and developing new mineral deposits that provide the key metals which are critical to decarbonisation. Supporting a low carbon emissions future, including through our operations, is central to our purpose and strategy as an organisation.

The significant Gonneville discovery has defined the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province, an almost entirely unexplored mineral province which is interpreted to extend for ~1,200km along the western

Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Mineral Resources Reporting Requirements

As an Australian Company with securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Chalice is subject to Australian disclosure requirements and standards, including the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX listing rules. It is a requirement of the ASX listing rules that the reporting of exploration results and mineral resources estimates are in accordance with the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of exploration Results, Minerals Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC Code”).

The requirements of JORC Code differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws and other reporting regimes. There is no assurance that the Company’s mineral resource estimates and related disclosures prepared under the JORC Code would be the same as those prepared under United States securities law and other reporting regimes. The terms used in this announcement are as defined in the JORC Code. The definitions of these terms differ from the definitions of such terms for purposes of the disclosure requirements in the United States and other reporting regimes.

Mineral Resource Estimates that are not Ore Reserves do not have demonstrated technical feasibility and economic viability. Due to lower certainty, the inclusion of Mineral Resource Estimates should not be regarded as a representation by Chalice that such amounts can be economically exploited, and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such figures. No assurances can be given that the estimates of Mineral Resources presented in this announcement will be recovered at the tonnages and grades presented, or at all.

Appendix B

Metal Equivalents – Julimar Project

The Gonneville Resource is quoted in both nickel equivalent (NiEq) and palladium equivalent (PdEq) terms to take into account the contribution of multiple potentially payable metals. The cut-off grade for the sulphide domain was determined using NiEq in preference over PdEq, due to the assumed requirement for sulphide flotation to recover the metals.

PdEq is quoted given the relative importance of palladium by value at the assumed prices. Separate metal equivalent calculations are used for the oxide and transitional/sulphide zones to take into account the differing metallurgical recoveries in each zone.

Oxide Domain

Initial metallurgical testwork indicates that only palladium and gold are likely to be recovered in the oxide domain, therefore no NiEq grade has been quoted for the oxide. The PdEq grade for the oxide has been calculated using the formula:

PdEq oxide (g/t) = Pd(g/t) + 1.27x Au(g/t).

  • « Metal recoveries based on limited metallurgical test work completed to date: « Pd – 75%, Au – 95%.

  • « Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the pit optimisation:

  • « US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,800/oz Au.

Transitional and Fresh Sulphide Domains

Based on metallurgical testwork completed to date for the sulphide domain, it is the Company’s opinion that all the quoted elements included in metal equivalent calculations (palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, copper and cobalt) have a reasonable potential of being recovered and sold.

Only limited samples have been collected from the transitional zone due to its relatively small volume. Therefore, the metallurgical recovery of all metals in this domain are unknown. However, given the relatively small proportion of the transition zone in the Mineral Resource, the impact on the metal equivalent calculation is not considered to be material.

Metal equivalents for the transitional and sulphide domains are calculated according to the formula below:

  • « NiEq%= Ni (%) + 0.32x Pd(g/t) + 0.21x Pt(g/t) + 0.38x Au(g/t) + 0.83x Cu(%) + 3.00x Co(%);

  • « PdEq(g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 0.67x Pt(g/t) + 1.17x Au(g/t) + 3.11x Ni(%) + 2.57x Cu(%) + 9.33x Co(%)

Metal recoveries used in the metal equivalent calculations are based on rounded average Resource grades for the higher-grade sulphide domain (>0.6% NiEq cut-off): « Pd – 60%, Pt – 60%, Au – 70%, Ni – 45%, Cu – 85%, Co – 45%. Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the Whittle pit optimisation (based on P20-30 long term analyst estimates):

  • « US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,200/oz Pt, US$1,800/oz Au, US$24,000/t Ni, US$10,500/t Cu and US$72,000/t Co.

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.

Diamond core was either quarter
cored (HQ for Gonneville drilling) half
cored (NQ or HQ for exploration
drilling) with samples taken over
selective intervals ranging from 0.2m to
1.2m (typically 1.0m).
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Qualitative care taken when sampling
diamond drill core to sample the same
half of the drill core.
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.

Mineralisation is easily recognised by
the presence of sulphides. Diamond
drill core sample intervals were
selected on a qualitative assessment of
sulphide content
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).

A mixture of diamond drill core size
used including NQ (47.6mm), HQ
(63.5mm diameter) or PQ (85mm).
Triple tube has been used from surface
until competent bedrock and then
standard tube thereafter.

Core orientation is by an ACT Reflex
(ACT II RD) tool
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Individual recoveries of diamond drill
core samples were assessed
quantitively by comparing measured
core length with expected core length
from drillers mark. Generally, core
recovery was excellent in fresh rock
and approaching 100%. Core
recovery in oxide material is often poor
due to sample washing out. Core
recovery in the oxide zone averages
60%
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Diamond drilling utilises triple tube
coring in the oxide zone to improve
sample recovery. This results in better
recoveries, but recovery is still only
moderate to good.

Diamond core samples were
consistently taken from the same side
of the core

Hence the orientation of the holes is
often not orthogonal to the inferred
dip and strike of the mineralisation. All
quoted intersections are downhole
widths unless otherwise stated.

RC and Diamond drill holes at
Gonneville were typically oriented
within 15° of orthogonal to the
interpreted dip and strike of the known
zone of mineralisation. However,
several holes were drilled at less
optimal azimuths due to site access

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.

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

Higher grade internal intervals are
reported using a >0.6% NiEq length-
weighted cut off. A maximum of 2m
internal dilution has been applied.

No top cuts have been applied
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.

Not applicable
The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

Metal price assumptions used in the
metal equivalent calculations are:
US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,200/oz Pt,
US$1,800/oz Au, US$24,000/t Ni,
US$10,500/t Cu, US$72,000/t Co.

Metallurgical recovery assumptions
used in the metal equivalent
calculation for the oxide material are:
Pd – 75%, Au – 95%.

Hence for the oxide material PdEq
(g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 1.27 x Au (g/t).

Metallurgical recovery assumptions
used in the metal equivalent
calculation for the sulphide (fresh)
material are: Pd – 60%, Pt – 60%, Au –
70%, Ni – 45%, Cu – 85%, Co - 45%.

Hence for the sulphide material NiEq =
Ni (%) + 0.32x Pd(g/t) + 0.21x Pt(g/t) +
0.38x Au(g/t) + 0.83x Cu(%) + 3x

The volume of transitional material is
small and considered unlikely to
materially affect the overall metal
equivalent calculation.
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.

Diamond drill hole sites at Dampier,
Hartog, Hann and Hooley are
restricted by access approvals with
multiple holes often drilled from a
single site. Hence the orientation of
the holes is often not orthogonal to the
inferred dip and strike of the
mineralisation. All quoted intersections
are downhole widths unless otherwise
stated. Quoted estimated true widths
are based on an interpretation of
mineralisation having an overall dip
and strike approximately parallel to
the footwall contact of the host
intrusion as is the case at Gonneville.

At Gonneville RC and Diamond drill
holes were typically oriented within 15°
of orthogonal to the interpreted dip
and strike of the known zone of
mineralisation. However, several holes
were drilled at less optimal azimuths
due to site access constraints or to test
for alternative mineralisation
orientations.
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. For
regional drilling, true widths are not
known.

At Gonneville, true widths vary
depending on the orientation of the
hole and the orientation of the
mineralisation.
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.
