Discovery of new >2km gold trend in air-core drilling at Karri Target indicates potential for a significant gold system

Drilling has now significantly upgraded a second target at the district-scale Pyramid Hill Gold Project in Victoria

==> picture [510 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Highlights

  • Encouraging assays received for ~4,700m of Phase 2 air-core (AC) drilling at the Karri Target.

  • Anomalous gold intersected in basement on ~1km spaced drill lines over a >2km strike length – mineralisation remains open along strike .

  • Strongly anomalous gold grades for this early stage of drilling up to 0.7g/t Au (in 4m composites) intersected in zones of abundant quartz veining with accompanying sulphides.

  • Several parallel gold trends over an area of ~1.5 x 2km are emerging, indicating the potential for an extensive primary gold system.

  • Similar anomalous gold intersections on wide-spaced drill lines were early indicators of significant gold discoveries undercover by other explorers in the region.

  • Given the high-grade nature of historic gold deposits along strike from Karri to the south of the Project, such as Ballarat (~14Moz @ ~12g/t Au) and Maldon (~2Moz @ 33g/t Au) , the Company is optimistic about the potential to discover high-grade gold mineralisation at Karri .

  • In-fill AC drilling is currently underway to a line spacing of 500m and an initial phase of diamond drilling is planned in January 2020.

  • Encouraging visual indications of similar quartz veining and sulphides in several recent holes at 500m line spacing indicate a continuous mineralised trend is likely – all assays are pending for these holes.

  • Chalice’s ongoing 25,000m Phase 2 AC program continues to upgrade several key targets on the Project, with both Karri and Ironbark now showing encouraging early signs of potential for largescale mineralised systems.

  • Chalice is positioned well in this exciting region with a 100%-owned, ~5,190km[2] land position and remains fully-funded to continue its systematic exploration on the Project, with a working capital and investments balance of ~ $30M ($0.11 per share) as of 30 September 2019.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”) (ASX: CHN | TSX: CXN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to announce encouraging air-core (AC) drilling results from the Karri Target at its 100%-owned Pyramid Hill Gold Project , located in the Bendigo Region of Victoria.

The Company’s 25,000m Phase 2 reconnaissance AC drill program at the Ironbark, Karri and Beech Targets continues in the Muckleford Area. A total of 63 AC drill holes for 7,260m have now been completed at the Karri Target, which is defined by Phase 1 AC anomalous gold and/or pathfinder results from wide-spaced drill lines under 50-75m of Murray Basin cover.

==> picture [596 x 75] intentionally omitted <==

Chalice’s Managing Director, Alex Dorsch, said, “ The drill bit continues to build our excitement levels in Victoria, with another round of excellent results at the Karri Target. We knew from the outset that this target had all the hallmarks of a significant gold system, and we are optimistic that we are on track to make a gold discovery.”

“The identification of broad zones of low-level gold anomalism, such as these results at Karri, have been an important step in the discovery of numerous gold deposits throughout Australia and in Victoria in particular. They are particularly important in undercover areas as they allow the target search space to be rapidly refined.”

“The strike extent of the parallel gold trends identified to date is particularly encouraging, as these sorts of multi-kilometre strike lengths point to the potential for a significant scale gold system. Given the prolific high-grade nature of the Bendigo Zone and the lack of exploration in the undercover region, the Karri Target presents a rare discovery opportunity under shallow cover in Australia.”

“We are just beginning to scratch the surface on our district scale Pyramid Hill Gold Project and, given our strong financial position and significant technical expertise in-house, Chalice is positioned exceptionally well for the exploration journey ahead. We eagerly await the commencement of our first diamond drill program in January and look forward to releasing more drill results over the next few months.”

Phase 2 AC drilling – initial results from Karri Target

The Phase 2 AC drill holes at Karri were designed as follow-up to the promising results generated from the Phase 1 AC drilling program previously completed across the project area (refer ASX Announcement 8 July 2019).

All holes were drilled vertically to AC blade refusal with good penetration into weathered Castlemaine Group sediments. The Castlemaine Group is the target basement rock and host to >60Moz Au of highgrade historic gold production in the Bendigo Zone to the south of the Project.

Drilling has intersected several broad zones of anomalous gold with the better gold intersections associated with zones of abundant quartz veining with accompanying sulphides (pyrite ± arsenopyrite).

The main anomalous gold trend (>25ppb Au) covers a strike length of >2km and strikes in a N-S orientation. Encouragingly, there are several sub-parallel zones of gold anomalism, all of which remain open along strike to the north and south ( Figure 1 ).

The gold zones are within an interbedded sequence of sandstones and shales that have been variably altered (silicified) and show strongly elevated levels of arsenic (up to 430ppm), an important gold pathfinder in the region.

Two consecutive holes 100m apart on the main eastern trend intersected an encouraging zone of anomalous gold, with 4m composite intersections of 36m at 0.07g/t Au from 78m and 17m at 0.12g/t Au from 118m to bottom-of-hole (PA433) and 40m at 0.13g/t Au from 80m to bottom-of-hole (PA444) ( Figure 2 ).

Future work

An additional ~5,700m of Phase 2 AC drilling is currently underway at Karri to in-fill drill coverage to 50m hole spacing on several existing lines and also tighten drill line spacing to 500m. Visual indications of abundant quartz veining in several step-out holes at 500m drill line spacing to the north and south of Section A-B are viewed as encouraging indications of a large-scale mineralised system.

AC drill line spacing will then be immediately tightened in the Phase 3 program, to refine the position of the main gold trends in readiness for systematic deeper angled RC/DD drilling.

An initial diamond drill hole will be completed at Karri in late January 2020 in parallel to the ongoing Phase 2 AC drill program. The diamond drilling will be used to gain an early understanding of the local stratigraphic and structural controls of the gold mineralisation and also determine the optimal drilling strategy for the next phases of exploration.

Assays are currently pending for ~5,500m of Phase 2 AC drilling at the Karri and Beech Targets, and it is anticipated that the Phase 2 AC drill program will continue until mid Q1 2020.

About the Pyramid Hill Gold Project, Victoria, Australia

The 100%-owned Pyramid Hill Gold Project was staked in 2017 and now covers an area of ~5,190km[2] in the Bendigo region 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 4 ).

==> picture [511 x 404] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4. Pyramid Hill Gold Project tenure, 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 >8Moz Fosterville Gold Mine owned by Kirkland Lake Gold (NYSE / TSX: KL | 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 estimated a potential ~32Moz (P50) of undiscovered gold beneath Murray Basin cover in the Bendigo Zone, where Chalice holds ~60% of the total ~7,000km[2] prospective area.

Chalice is targeting large-scale, high-grade gold deposits, and is currently conducting regional scale greenfield exploration. ~57km of reconnaissance aircore (AC) drilling has been completed to date, which has outlined 3 high priority targets within the Muckleford Area (Ironbark, Karri and Beech).

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

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.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.

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

Aircore (AC) drilling samples were
collected via 2-4m composite samples
from 1m bulk samples using a pvc spear
with each combined composite sample
weighing approximately 3kg. 1m samples
were taken within some mineralised
zones using a spear.

All composite and 1m samples were
pulverised to nominal 85% passing 75
microns before being analysed .

Qualitative care was taken to ensure
representative sample weights were
consistent when sampling on a metre by
metre basis.

detailed information.
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).

The drilling was completed via an aircore
(AC) drilling technique using both blade
and/or face sampling hammer drill bit
with a diameter of 102-104mm.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Individual recoveries of 1m samples were
recorded on a qualitative basis.
Generally sample weights are
comparable and any bias considered
negligible.

No relationships have been noticed
between sample grade and recoveries.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

All drill holes were logged geologically
including but not limited to weathering,
regolith, lithology, structure, texture,
alteration and mineralisation. Logging
was at an appropriate quantitative
standard to support future geological,
engineering and metallurgical studies.

Logging is considered quantitative in
nature.

All holes were geologically logged in full.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity
of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

1 metre AC samples were collected in
bulk form from the rig cyclone. 2-4m
composite samples of the 1m samples
were collected using a spear method.
Where 1m samples were collected a
spear method was also used. The
majority of the samples were dry in
nature.

Field duplicate samples were sent every
20thsample to check for assay
repeatability. Results of duplicate
samples were considered acceptable
and within precision and accuracy limits
for the style of mineralisation.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate
for the style mineralisation sought and
the initial reconnaissance nature of the
drilling programme.
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied
and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted

All samples were sent to ALS prep facility
in Adelaide for sample preparation then
on-sent to ALS Perth for chemical
analysis.

40 elements (including gold) were
analysed using up to a 25g aqua regia
method with an ICPAES and ICPMS finish
depending on the elements (ALS
method code – TL43-MEPKG). Aqua
Regia techniques are not considered
total in nature. Should refractory

mineralisation be encountered this can
affect the nature of final results.

Chalice has its own internal QAQC
procedure involving the use of certified
reference materials. Standards - 4 per
100 samples, blanks – 1 per 100 samples
and duplicates 4 per 100 samples which
accounts for ~9% of the total submitted
samples.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections are checked by
the Project Senior Geologist and then by
the General Manager of Exploration.
Significant intersections are cross-
checked with the geology logged and
drill chips collected after final assays are
received.

No twin holes have been drilled for
comparative purposes. The prospect is
still considered to be in an early
exploration stage.

Primary data was digitally collected and
entered via a field Toughbook computer
using in house logging codes. The data is
sent to Perth where the data is validated
and entered into the master database.

No adjustments have been made to the
assay data received.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Hole collar locations have been picked
up by Chalice employees using a
handheld GPS with a +/- 5m error.

The grid system used for the location of
all drill holes is either MGA_GDA94 (Zone
54) or MGA_GDA94 (Zone 55). In this
announcement coordinates are all in
Zone 54. A grid zone boundary transects
the larger project area.

RL data is considered unreliable
although topography around the drill
area is flat and hence should not have
any significant effect on the
interpretation of data. RL’s have been
assigned from 1 sec (30m) satellite data.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Nominal drill hole spacing is generally 50-
200m between aircore holes.

The current spacing is not considered
sufficient to assume any geological or
grade continuity of the results
intersected.

No sample compositing has been
applied.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location
and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such as
joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time
of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.

Drilling was carried out within EL6737. All
licences are wholly owned by CGM (WA)
Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Chalice Gold Mines Limited with no
known encumbrances.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

There has been little effective exploration
completed by other parties in the
immediate vicinity of the targets
identified by Chalice to date.

Chalice has compiled historic records
dating back to the early 1980’s which
indicate only sporadic reconnaissance
drilling has been completed by various
parties over the project area. All known
effective drill holes that reached the
basement and were assayed for gold
have been compiled.

Homestake Mining completed initial
surface sampling which has been
evaluated and used by Chalice for some
targeting purposes.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.

The mineralisation being explored for is
orogenic style similar to that seen within
the Bendigo and Fosterville gold deposits
of the Bendigo Zone. Gold mineralisation
in these deposits is typically hosted by
quartz veins within in the Ordovician age
Castlemaine Group sediments. At
Ironbark, there is a possibility the gold
anomalism is associated with diorite
intrusive rocks, possibly similar to some
gold deposits within the Walhalla, Woods
Point area in the Melbourne Zone.

Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.

See Appendix 1 and Appendix 3.
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.

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.

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

A weighted average technique has
been applied where necessary to
produce all displayed and tabulated drill
intersections. In appendix 1 and in the
figures, results are calculated using a
minimum 0.025g/t lower cut-off grade
and max 4m internal dilution.

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.

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’).

The relationship between gold
anomalism and true width remains
unknown. The anomalism reported is
currently interpreted to be a product of
secondary dispersion and/or directly
related to gold bearing quartz veining in
the primary Castlemaine basement

Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts should
be included for any significant discovery

Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of

Only significant results above 0.1g/t Au
have been tabulated in Appendix 1. The
results are considered representative with
no intended bias.

Exploration Results.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

Not Applicable.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this information is
not

Follow up drilling is being planned to
better define the anomalous envelopes
and to improve the understanding of
potential geological controls to
anomalism.

Target Zones and proposed drill holes as
defined on the plan figures highlight the
areas of most interest for initial further
follow-up exploration.
