Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, forward-looking statements). These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and Chalice Gold Mines Limited (the Company) does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect Company management’s expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, the likelihood of exploration success including results of future geophysical surveys, drilling at the Company’s projects and other exploration activities; the timing and costs of future exploration activities on the Company’s exploration projects; the potential to define future mineral resources and, if successful at any of the Company’s exploration projects, the potential viability of any mineral resource so defined; planned expenditures and budgets and the execution thereof; the timing and availability of drill results; potential sites for drilling, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner; the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, success of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “planning”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “will”, “may”, “would”, “potential”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “prospects” “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “believes”, “occur”, “be achieved”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors may include, among others, risks related to actual results of current or planned exploration activities; changes in exploration programmes based upon results of exploration; future prices of commodities; geophysical anomalies may or may not be associated with economic mineralisation; grade or recovery rates; accidents; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, movements in the share price of O3 Mining and Spectrum Metals securities and future proceeds and timing of potential sale of O3 Mining and Spectrum Metals securities, as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s interim and annual financial statements, all of which are filed and available for review on SEDAR at sedar.com, ASX at asx.com.au and OTC Markets at otcmarkets.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

STRATEGY
Our strategy is to systematically acquire and explore in premier terranes; aiming to address the rapid decline in tier-1 scale discoveries worldwide
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Exploration Expenditures and Primary Gold discovered globally
==> picture [657 x 314] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Declining trend
----- End of picture text -----
Tier-1 scale discoveries (>US$1bn NPV) now represent only ~2% of all discoveries worldwide; Only one in Australia in last 10 years (Swan Zone at Fosterville)
==> picture [62 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
Peaks in discoveries precede the peaks in exploration spend. So the best time to get in [to explorers], is when exploration spend bottoms out and starts rising… which is now! MinEx Consulting, Nov 2018

-
50:50 JV partner with Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI) – a major global miner
-
Sale provided GOR with A$350 million in cash plus a 1.5% Net Smelter Return royalty
-
Gruyere has a 12yr mine life at 300koz p.a. and is cashed up for new exploration opportunities

PYRAMID HILL GOLD PROJECT
The gold deposits of the Bendigo Zone are controlled by major regional faults in a N-S orientation

==> picture [360 x 431] intentionally omitted <==
-
Conformable linear trends of gold occurrences associated with N-S trending, steep westerly dipping regional faults
-
Basement host rocks comprise turbiditic quartz sandstones and shales which have undergone tight regional folding (E-W compression)
-
Auriferous quartz veining is structurally controlled with mineralisation occurring along faults, within tension gashes or along fold crests as stacked saddle or trough reefs

The continuation of the Bendigo Zone geology to the north under cover is well established
The major regional faults which control the location of the main gold camps have been shown to extend to the north, through crustal scale 2D seismic and gravity surveys
Depth of cover is highly variable, majority of Chalice’s tenure has 10m to ~150m of cover
Significant gold discoveries have been made under Murray Basin cover (e.g. Four Eagles and Tandarra), showing that exploration under cover can be successful

Monte Carlo simulation model used to extrapolate known gold endowment in outcrop areas into the 7,000km[2 ] northern Bendigo Zone undercover

Model limited to 1km depth and ignored potential undiscovered gold in outcrop zones
-
Model was created prior to the epizonal ultra high-grade gold discovery at depth at Fosterville, hence is likely to be conservative

Reconnaissance AC drilling has identified four large-scale targets to date at the Muckleford Area
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
1. Ironbark: shallow gold intersections up to 1.1g/t Au under 25-75m of Murray Basin cover, within a ~450m diameter diorite intrusion, co-incident with a large >5ppb gold-in-soil anomaly (Walhalla-Woods Point style target)
2. Karri: shallow gold intersections up to 0.66g/t Au over ~15km of strike, under 50-70m of Murray Basin cover, ~20km west of Four Eagles
3. Beech: outlined by highly anomalous As and Sb (gold pathfinders) in basement, ~25km north-west of Bendigo (~22Moz Au) along the Sebastian Fault
4. Jarrah: elevated gold intersections up to 0.38g/t Au within Murray Basin gravels (no bedrock source found yet), under 30-40m of Murray Basin cover
