Overview
The June Quarter saw the achievement of further key milestones by East African-focused gold company Chalice Gold Mines (ASX: CHN , TSX: CXN ) with the completion of an agreement with the Eritrean National Mining Corporation (“ENAMCO”) for it to acquire a 30% participating interest in its flagship Zara Gold Project and the re-commencement of exploration drilling.
The agreement with ENAMCO, which includes a US$32 million payment and a US$2 million reimbursement of past exploration expenses, paves the way for final permitting, financing and development of the Zara Project.
The new phase of exploration drilling at the Zara Project is focused on testing a series of Induced Polarisation (IP) resistivity targets in the vicinity of the high-grade Koka Gold Deposit (Indicated Mineral Resource of 840,000oz @ 5.3g/t gold ). As part of this program, potential depth extensions to Koka will also be tested with a series of deep drill holes. The aim is to identify new gold mineralisation along strike and beneath the deposit.
Exploration also commenced on the recently acquired Mogoraib North property, located 10km north of Nevsun Resources’ high grade Bisha Mine, with the completion of a Versatile Time‐Domain Electro‐Magnetic (VTEM) survey. This survey is designed to detect the presence of massive sulphide deposits prospective for both gold and base metals.
Chalice also continued geochemical sampling on the Zara Project with a significant new soil gold anomaly identified at the Debre Tsaeda prospect located 8 kilometres south of Koka.

1. Agreement Reached with ENAMCO on Purchase of 30% Interest in Zara Project
During the Quarter, Chalice reached agreement with the Eritrean National Mining Corporation (“ENAMCO”) for the acquisition of a 30% participating interest in Chalice’s flagship Zara Gold Project in Eritrea, East Africa, paving the way for final permitting, financing and development of the Project to proceed.
The agreement covers the high-grade Koka Gold Deposit (“Koka”), as well as the Zara North, Central and South Exploration Licences (the “Zara Licences”), but excludes the Company’s 100%owned Mogoraib North and Hurum Exploration Licences.
Terms of the Agreement
ENAMCO has agreed to pay US$32 million for a 30% participating interest in the Zara Licences, which will be represented by an interest in the operating company, Zara Mining SC (“Zara”). Zara will own, develop and operate the Koka Gold Mine, and will own and explore the surrounding Zara Licences.
In addition to this amount, ENAMCO will pay Chalice approximately US$2 million (subject to audit), which represents a reimbursement to Chalice of ENAMCO’s pro-rata share of exploration costs expended up to and including 31 March 2011 on the Zara Licences which fall outside of the proposed Koka Mining Licence.
Payment will be made within six months of the signing of a shareholders’ agreement, which is expected to be completed shortly. Following completion of the agreement, the Zara Project’s ownership structure will be Chalice (60% participating interest) and ENAMCO (30% participating interest, 10% free carried interest).
Chalice and ENAMCO will contribute to the future development costs of the Koka deposit and to future exploration expenditures on the Zara Licences on a 2/3 and 1/3 basis, in line with their respective share of the overall participating interest.
2. IP Target Drilling Commences at the Zara Project Mine Corridor
At least six high priority IP Resistivity targets have been identified from an IP survey completed in March this year (ASX Announcement – May 9, 2011). These targets are located within a 7.5km long corridor encompassing both the Koka deposit (which has a Probable Reserve of 760,000oz at a grade of 5.1g/t gold), and the Konate prospect drilled in 2010 ( see Figure 1 ).
The anomalies are similar to those associated with the mineralisation at the Koka deposit and are considered to be highly prospective for repeats of Koka-style quartz stockwork gold mineralisation.
The resistivity anomalies are also associated with surface soil gold anomalies and in some cases minor artisanal workings ( see Figure 2 ).

Drilling has commenced and will initially target resistivity anomalies 300-500m beneath and immediately along strike from the Koka deposit and the nearby Koka East and Koka South prospects ( see Figure 3 ).
Limited drilling was conducted at both Koka East and Koka South in 2010 with quartz stockwork mineralisation intersected at both prospects. Several intersections of up to 1 metre grading over 90 g/t gold were encountered at Koka South.
New access into this area will allow efficient targeting of both IP and geological targets during the current program. A total of 10,000 metres of first-pass diamond drilling is planned over the coming months.

3. Mogoraib VTEM Survey
An extensive heliborne VTEM, magnetic and radiometric survey covering the 550 sq km Mogoraib North property was completed in June 2011 (see Figure 4) . This ~3,800 line kilometre survey was designed to detect conductive bodies indicative of possible buried massive sulphide deposits, similar in style to the Bisha polymetallic VHMS (volcanic-hosted massive sulphide) deposit.
Bisha (60% owned by TSX-listed Nevsun Resources) is a large, high grade gold-copper-zinc deposit with a gold-rich oxide cap that lies 10km south of the Mogoraib North property. The volcanic sequence that hosts the Bisha deposit extends northwards, into Chalice’s ground, where a previous explorer identified gossans with elevated gold and base metal geochemistry. Despite these encouraging indications there has been no drilling of these targets to date.
While final validated data from the VTEM survey is currently being processed, preliminary interpretation of the raw data by Southern Geoscience Consultants has already identified several promising targets.
4
In tandem with the airborne survey, the Company has also completed detailed geological mapping, stream sediment and rock-chip sampling to better define the extent of the prospective volcanic and exhalite sequences. Results from this work will be integrated with the airborne geophysical data to define targets for drilling later this year.

4. Debre Tsaeda Soil Sampling
Results have been received from a recent geochemical survey over the Debre Tsaeda prospect, located within the Zara licences approximately 8km south-east of Koka. They reveal a high-tenor gold-in-soil anomaly extending semi-continuously over a strike length of more than 2km and exceeding 200ppb gold ( see Figure 5 ), with a peak value exceeding 18 g/t gold. Gold anomalism in soils at these levels is regarded as highly encouraging and compares favourably with the soil anomalism over the Koka deposit.
The anomaly encompasses a number of historical artisanal workings and overlies an altered microgranite with numerous quartz veins.
In-fill and extension soil sampling and detailed geological mapping will be conducted over the coming months to better define targets for trenching and drilling later in 2011.

5. Eritrea Tenement Update
Pursuant to the Eritrean Mining Proclamation, the four central Zara licences were subject to an annual statutory 25% relinquishment during the Quarter. The Company now holds 547 sq km as part of the Zara Project, which will be owned 60% by Chalice and 40% by ENAMCO.
A further 825 sq km is held 100% by Chalice which includes the Hurum and Mogoraib North projects. The Company has also been advised that it has been unsuccessful in its applications for Prospecting Licences at Lower Anseba, Seccai Reba, Adobha Abyi, Nakfa East and Irafayle West.

6. Capital Raising
In May 2011, Chalice placed 32,000,000 shares at $0.30 per share to raise approximately $9.6 million before issue costs (the ‘Placement’).
The funds raised from the Placement will be used for further exploration and development of Chalice’s gold projects in Eritrea and for general working capital purposes.
The Placement received strong support and was effected through Southern Cross Equities Ltd to institutional and sophisticated investors pursuant to the 15% allowance under ASX Listing Rules.
