ASX RELEASE

Platina to Farm - Out Mt Narryer Project to Chalice Mining

Platina Resources Limited (ASX: PGM) will optimise its exploration portfolio by joint venturing the Mt Narryer Project (Project) in Western Australia with Chalice Mining Limited (Chalice, ASX: CHN).

Under the terms of the binding farm-in agreement, Chalice will initially earn a 51% interest in the Project by spending a $600,000 over two years including a minimum spend of $150,000 in the first year. Chalice can then earn an additional 24% interest by spending a further $1.8 million over the following two years. Platina would then continue to be free cost carried to completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (see Table 1 for further terms).

Chalice is listed on the ASX with a current market capitalisation of over $2.2 billion. In March 2020, Chalice made a major new greenfield PGE-nickel-copper-cobalt-gold discovery at its Julimar Project, located approximately 480km south of Mt Narryer in the Western Yilgarn Craton (see Figure 1). A tier-1 scale maiden mineral resource has since been defined at Julimar (refer CHN ASX release – 8 July 2022, “Updated Gonneville Mineral Resource”.

Platina Managing Director, Mr Corey Nolan, said the new joint venture offered a tremendous opportunity to leverage the nickel, copper and PGE metal expertise that Chalice used to discover Julimar.

“Chalice has a proven, low-cost model for discovering major mineral deposits using reconnaissance, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys backed by a bank of geological knowledge from its Ni-Cu-PGE discovery at Julimar ,” Mr Nolan said.

“Mt Narryer covers more than 200km[2] and Chalice brings both the financial and technical capability to explore the Mt Narryer project rapidly and efficiently in this region.”

Mr Nolan said the new Mt Narryer joint venture would allow Platina to channel its time and financial resources towards its other key projects in Western Australia, Brimstone, Xanadu and Beete.

Mt Narryer covers aeromagnetic highs splaying off the major fault between the Palaeozoic Lyons Group sediments and the Archean granites and gneisses. It is interpreted by Platina that the aeromagnetic highs may indicate the presence of large ultramafic units within these gneisses that could host similar mineralisation to that found at Julimar.
