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. |

| 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).

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. |

• No review has been carried out to date. |
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 holecollar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interceptiondepth 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. • Not Applicable. • Not Applicable. |
|
| 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 |
|
| 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. |
• Refer to figures in the body of text. |
