On the 16[th] of January, Chalice announced that it had significantly expanded the ongoing exploration program at the East Cadillac Gold Project, increasing its total planned diamond drill program to ~30,000m at East Cadillac and Kinebik.

Chalice is pleased to advise that drilling has now been completed at both projects with the last drill hole at East Cadillac completed on the 7[th] of April 2018. Approximately 40% of the assays from these extensive drilling programs are still awaited and expected to be progressively received over the coming weeks.

During the Quarter, the Company executed a management restructure which saw the appointment of Alex Dorsch to the position of Chief Executive Officer and Tim Goyder to the position Executive Chairman. Tony Kiernan, the former Chairman, remains on the Board as the Lead Independent Non-Executive Director. The restructure positions the Company favourably for a new period of growth.

2. EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

2.1 East Cadillac Gold Project, Quebec, Canada

The East Cadillac Gold Project (“ECG Project”) covers an area of 145km[2] and is located ~35km east of the >20Moz Val-d’Or gold camp in Quebec, Canada. With land holdings encompassing a strike length of 16km of the Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault, the most prolifically endowed gold trend in the southern Abitibi, the Project is situated amongst some of the region’s most significant mines, and surrounds to the historical Chimo gold mine, owned by Cartier Resources (TSX: ECR). The Project is a consolidation of several earn-in option agreements (Chalice earning 70 to 100%) and Chalice’s 100%-owned claims.

Phase 2 Drilling

During the quarter, Chalice continued its expanded drill program utilising four diamond rigs. The program, comprising 76 drill holes for 27,300m, was completed subsequent to quarter-end, on the 7[th] of April 2018. Two highly prospective and regionally significant mineralised zones (Simon West and North Contact) have been discovered to date.

Significant drilling intersections during the quarter are listed in Table 1 (a full listing of intersections can be found in Appendix 1). Assays are continuing to be received from the laboratory, with ~60% of the full program assayed as at 31 March 2018.

The diamond drill program was designed to follow-up on the extensions to the known gold mineralisation at Nordeau West and Simon West and complete an initial assessment of prioritised targets identified from both surface geochemistry and geophysical surveys undertaken in 2017 (Figure 1 and Appendix 2).

==> picture [525 x 342] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. East Cadillac Gold Project plan view showing regional geology and diamond drilling progress to 31 March 2018 (drill-hole numbers prefixed by ECG-18).

The targets were grouped into three areas, as follows:

  • Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault corridor ( the central mineralised trend). Targets in this area are considered lower risk with portions of the trend already assessed by historical drilling. The objective of the current drilling program was to test areas down-plunge of existing showings and untested anomalies. This corridor has delivered significant deposits along strike such as LaRonde (>12Moz Au @ 5g/t), owned by Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE / TSX: AEM)

  • Hanging wall targets. These targets are located north of the trend and were are poorly tested historically – a similar area in the Val-d’Or district has delivered deposits such as Sigma Lamaque (>11Moz Au @ ~7g/t), owned by Eldorado Gold (TSX: ELD)

  • Footwall targets. These targets are located to the south and were almost entirely untested historically – a similar area in the Malartic district has delivered deposits such as Canadian Malartic (>10Moz Au @ ~1.1g/t), jointly owned by Agnico Eagle Mines and Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY / TSX: YRI)

1. Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault Corridor

Results received during the quarter confirm that the Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault corridor within Chalice’s tenements hosts high-grade gold mineralisation. As announced on the 6[th] March 2018, significant new gold mineralisation was intersected at Simon West (ECG-18-21) and drilling highlighted the continuation of multiple mineralised zones of up to 10m in width within a 3.5km strike length to the west of the Chimo Mine boundary.

Several zones of mineralisation have been intersected at Simon West (Figures 2 & 3), while the drill fences 2km further to the west (Figure 5) successfully intersected the northern, central and southern mineralised horizons as recorded at Cartier Resources (TSX: ECR) historical Chimo Gold Mine.

The mineralisation is associated with silica-sericite-chlorite-biotite sulphide (arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite) alteration within strongly deformed mafic tuff and volcanic rocks of the Piche Group, as well as the Cadillac sediments to the immediate north of the Cadillac fault. Mineralisation is typical of the Abitibi region and is seen elsewhere along the Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault structure.

At Simon West, drill hole ECG-18-21, which was designed to test the westward extension of the historical deposit, returned a best intercept of 11.6m at 3.32 g/t Au from 235.9m including a high-grade interval of 1.6m at 18.52 g/t Au from 244.0m (true widths are estimated at 70% of quoted down-hole widths). Mineralisation is hosted in sheared and altered mafic volcanic rocks altered to a quartz-biotite+sericite schist.

Visible gold was observed in the interval and the gold is associated with trace to 15% arsenopyrite. Three significant mineralised zones were intersected in the hole (see Figure 2), typical of the multiple parallel mineralised horizons seen at many of the deposits along the Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault.

The high-grade gold mineralisation encountered in ECG-18-21 is interpreted to plunge steeply to the west, as seen at the Chimo Gold Mine (Figure 4), and has been targeted by revised drill-hole ECG-18-60 (assays pending).

The structures hosting the mineralisation at Simon West and the Chimo Mine have also been intersected at Far Simon West, a further 2km west of Simon West, extending the known mineralisation to ~3.5km of strike. Drill-hole ECG-19-16 and ECG-18-39 both intersected two mineralised zones, with the deeper zone in ECG-18-16 returning an intercept of 10.8m at 0.99 g/t Au from 251.0m and ECG-18-39 returning a better intercept of 11.0m at 1.55 g/t Au from 183.0m (Figure 5).

2. Hanging Wall Targets – North Contact

A new mineralised structure referred to as the North Contact, located approximately 1km north and running parallel to the Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault, has been defined from drilling a coincident soil and IP chargeability anomaly.

The North Contact mineralisation has been discovered using widely-spaced reconnaissance drill fences along a strike length of ~3km. So far, ~1.2km of strike has been confirmed to be mineralised at relatively shallow depths. This is an encouraging result and the shallow mineralised zone may be amenable to open-pit style mining. Significant follow-up work is planned to infill drill the trend and expand testing along strike.

Drill hole ECG18-24 intersected a mineralised structure positioned at the contact between the basement mafic volcanic assemblage and the Cadillac sediments to the south (Figure 6).

==> picture [542 x 306] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6. North Contact cross section – drill hole ECG-18-24.

The mineralisation style, silica-sericite-chlorite-biotite alteration, variable quartz-carbonate veins and disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite, appears to be similar in style to the main Cadillac-Larder Lake fault mineralisation (e.g. Simon West).

Additional drill holes (ECG-18-70 to 75) designed to further test the strike of the structure have been completed. Similar zones of silica-sericite-chlorite-biotite alteration with disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite have been intersected in holes ECG-18-71-73. Assays are pending for these holes.

3. Foot Wall Targets

Assays for holes completed in the south-eastern part of the block (footwall targets) are pending.

Surface geochemistry

The MMI soil geochemistry technique used at the Project has been successfully validated, with confirmation of primary gold mineralisation below cover within the MMI anomaly areas. During the quarter, Chalice extended the existing soil sampling grid to the north with the initial reconnaissance scale sampling completed at 400m x 400m centres. Results from the program identified three broad areas anomalous in gold and pathfinder elements (Ag, W and Sb).

It is expected that a program of infill sampling will be undertaken at 200 x 200m and 100 x 100m centres in Q2.

Monarques Option Agreement (formerly Richmont Option Agreement)

Chalice has now met the expenditure commitment of C$3.1 million on the Monarques earn-in area, having spent a total of ~C$3.9 million, and as such has earnt a 70% interest in the relevant claims. Formalisation of a Joint Venture between the two parties commenced during the quarter, in line with the terms of the option agreement.

2.2 Kinebik Gold Project, Quebec, Canada

The 100%-owned Kinebik Gold Project covers an area of 187km[2] and includes 30km of strike along the Casa Berardi fault in Quebec, Canada. The fault system hosts the >6Moz Casa Beradi gold mine ~150km to the west, and numerous other gold occurrences.

A maiden drill program of 10 holes for 2,007m was completed during the quarter, testing the first of three strong gold plus pathfinder MMI soil geochemical anomalies (Figure 7). The South Anomaly was prioritised for drilling given its proximity to the interpreted trend of the Casa Beradi fault.

Drilling intersected a sequence of siltstones and mudstones with intermittent zones of quartz veining ± pyrrhotite-pyritegarnet and locally tourmaline. While no significant mineralisation was discovered during the initial drill program, Chalice remains encouraged by the extent of alteration encountered in the drilling and will continue to assess the surrounding area and remaining two geochemical anomalies.

2.3 Pyramid Hill Gold Project, Victoria, Australia

The 100%-owned Pyramid Hill Gold Project covers an area of 3,350km[2] near Bendigo, Victoria. The Project extends to the north-west of the world-class >18Moz Bendigo Gold Field and to the north-east of one of the world’s highest grade gold mines, the >4Moz Fosterville Gold Mine owned by Kirkland Lake Gold (NYSE / TSX: KL / ASX: KLA). The ‘Gold Undercover’ initiative by the Victorian Government estimates a potential ~32Moz of undiscovered gold beneath Murray Basin cover, to the north of Bendigo.

During the quarter, Chalice continued a detailed evaluation of historical exploration data and public datasets (geology, geochemistry, geophysics) in the Bendigo Zone domain.

Based on that evaluation, Chalice has lodged five new highly prospective Exploration Licence applications. The total area under application and grant has been expanded to 3,350.4km[2] and includes coverage over other prospective regional faults where these transect Bendigo Zone geology in outcrop and beneath Murray Basin cover (Figure 8).

Figure 9. Regional gravity with inset of more detailed ground gravity over part of granted tenement EL6661 and interpreted faults.

Previous exploration for mineral sands in the southern part of this tenement shows that the Murray Basin cover is on average ~40m deep and up to a maximum of ~70m deep at the northern boundary.

Chalice is planning to commence field activities in Q2 with a program of ground gravity to better refine the position of the NNW-trending Muckleford and Break Oday faults which are prospective for Bendigo-type mesothermal gold deposits. Additional techniques are also being investigated which will help identify and refine targets along these regional faults – which are known to be mineralised along strike to the south.

2.4 Yilgarn Gold Project, Western Australia

The Kurrajong Bore, Bunjarra Well and Gibb Rock project areas are located over prospective greenstone belt sequences in the Eastern Goldfields and Southern Cross Goldfields of Western Australia. The Kurrajong Bore Project (48km[2] ) lies ~50km NE of the world class Gwalia gold mine (>5Moz Au) and proximal to other smaller orogenic gold deposits along the Mertondale shear zone. The Bunjarra Well Project (75km²) lies adjacent to the highly prospective Keith Kilkenny Shear Zone, a major regional lineament known for its regional prospectivity and gold endowment. Gibb Rock comprises a single Exploration Licence (55km[2] ) located over the Holleton greenstone belt.

==> picture [63 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Gibb Rock

Chalice completed a detailed program of auger drilling (309 holes) and soil sampling (48 samples) over the Gibb Rock tenement (EL70/4869), which hosts a greenstone belt succession comprised of Banded Iron Formation, mafic volcanics/schists bounded by granite-gneiss of the Southern Cross terrane. Sampling was mostly undertaken on a 100m x 20m grid and assay results are due to be received by mid-May.

Kurrajong Bore

A Program of Work (POW) has been approved for a program of aircore drilling at Kurrajong Bore (Mertondale east) and Bunjarra Well prospects (102 holes for 5,100m) and Chalice expects this program to commence in mid-May. Kurrajong Bore is located ~5km east of the Mertondale gold deposits, owned by Kin Mining (ASX: KIN), which are hosted by a steeply-dipping regional shear zone preferentially developed along the contact between felsic and mafic volcanic sequences.

Drilling will be undertaken on selected 1-2km spaced east-west orientated drill sections with holes on 200m centres to broadly test magnetic anomalies (interpreted gabbro intrusives) and enclosing felsic and mafic volcanic sequences (Figure 10).

Figure 10. Kurrajong Bore proposed aircore drilling overlying a 1VD aeromagnetic image.

The aircore drill program will take approximately three weeks to complete with assay results anticipated to be received by the end of June. An additional two PL’s (P36/9016-9017) were granted during the quarter which form part of the Kurrajong Bore project.

Bunjarra Well

Bunjarra Well is located ~56km south-east of the Cardinia gold deposit, owned by Kin Mining (ASX: KIN), and two traverses of aircore drilling have been designed to test for strike extensions to two drill-holes which intersected anomalous gold (up to 1g/t Au). The drilling is expected to commence immediately after the Kurrajong Bore program.

2.5 Warrego North

The Warrego North Project is located approximately 20km north-west of the historical high-grade Warrego copper-gold mine in the western part of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field in the Northern Territory. Warrego was the largest deposit mined in the area with historical production of ~1.3Moz of gold and ~90,000 tonnes of copper from ~5 million tonnes of

ore at an average grade of ~8g/t gold and ~2% copper in a classic iron oxide copper gold (“IOCG”) geological setting. Chalice can earn up to a 70% interest in two tenements within the project from Meteoric Resources (ASX: MEI) by sole funding A$800,000, with the remaining tenements owned 100%.

Chalice has commenced a detailed review of historical exploration results within the three Exploration Licence Applications that adjoin the Warrego North farm-in (Figure 11).

==> picture [457 x 437] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11. Warrego North Project location map, regional geology, historical drilling and identified magnetic bulls-eye Rooster Target.

Initial results show that large areas of the ELA’s have not been previously sampled and, given the occurrence of prospective Warramunga Formation geology throughout, there is more scope for effective geochemical sampling. The Company is currently planning a program of auger sampling on 400m-spaced lines to commence once the two easternmost tenements (ELA31608/10) are granted, which is expected during Q2.

During the quarter, the Company modelled several strong magnetic anomalies located in ELA31609 which have a similar response to Tennant Creek-style IOCG deposits. Line modelling of one particularly strong bulls-eye anomaly, the Rooster Target, suggests that it is sourced by a highly magnetic body with a large depth extent and a magnetic susceptibility consistent with a magnetite-rich ironstone (Figure 11).

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

Sampling Techniques

Drill samples were collected by employees of the Company under the supervision of the Qualified person.

Samples were collected from NQ2 diamond drill core. Diamond core samples were collected at intervals of between 0.3m and 1.3m on the basis of consistent lithology and/or mineralization. Diamond drill core samples were bagged and shipped in sealed sacks to accredited laboratory ALS laboratories in Val d’Or, Quebec, Canada. Samples were analysed by 30g fire assay (Au-AA23) and 4-acid digest with ICP-AES finish (ME-MS61).

The Company’s QA/QC procedures comprise the use of Certified Reference Material (CRM), field duplicates and blanks at approximately 1 in 20 samples. The Company’s assessment of QA/QC has not identified any issues with analyses reported.

No independent sampling or audits have been undertaken given the early stage nature of the drill program.
