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 estimation of mineral reserve and mineral resources at the East Cadillac Gold Project, the realisation of mineral reserve estimates; 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 additional 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”, “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 exploration activities; changes in exploration programmes based upon results of exploration; future prices of mineral resources; possible variations in mineral resources or ore reserves, 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; the ultimate outcome for shareholders of any Class Ruling received from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) in relation to any proposed capital return, 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. 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.

Our strategy is to explore greenfield terranes in premier jurisdictions; aiming to address the decline in tier 1 discoveries worldwide
Exploration Expenditures and Primary Gold discovered globally

Declining trend
----- End of picture text -----
Tier 1 discoveries (>US$1bn NPV) now represent only ~ 2% of all discoveries worldwide. None in Australia in last 10 years.
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

PYRAMID HILL GOLD PROJECT – MUCKLEFORD AREA
Previous gold exploration over the Muckleford Area is limited, with <50 effective drill holes over a 70 x 20km area

Drilling (LHS)
-
Previous gold exploration conducted by Homestake, St Barbara, Providence Metals, Metex over parts of current project tenements includes airborne gravity, surface geochemistry and aircore/RC drilling
-
Drill testing largely ineffective due to either very wide spacing of holes along drill lines (200-300m spacing) or lack of drill testing/sampling of the target Castlemaine Group basement (i.e. prospective geology not sampled)
-
Approximately 42 effective drill holes over a 70km x 20km area mostly due to lack of penetration of cover sequence
-
Almost no effective drill testing under surface geochemical anomalies – holes that did test in vicinity of East Anomaly reported anomalous Au/As
Geophysics (RHS)
Excellent airborne and regional gravity datasets for defining shallow features (i.e. buried basement hills)
Airborne gravity survey shows strong linear breaks which are interpreted to better define the position of the Sebastian and Muckleford faults.
Gravity very important as magnetics show minimal texture due to nature of Castlemaine Gp turbidites

PYRAMID HILL GOLD PROJECT – MUCKLEFORD AREA
Our exploration approach – wide spaced reconnaissance AC drill lines to complete a first pass test over a very large area cost effectively
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
Commenced maiden 15,000m reconnaissance AC drill programme within the Muckleford Area in Nov-18 to test priority geochemical / geophysical targets in prospective geological / structural settings
-
Recon programme designed to test for largescale gold systems (5Moz+):
Strike AC/RC rig on location Dec-18
-
Drilling on wide spaced lines, typically 2- 4km apart
-
100-400m hole separation
-
Drill to blade refusal, hammer if required to achieve min 30m penetration into Ordovician basement
Wallis AC rig on location Nov-18
-
Hole depths up to 170m depending on depth of cover
-
Typically drilling on road side verges as much as possible to avoid disturbance to landowners
==> picture [62 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
The combination of suitable high capacity rig set-up and experienced geological team will maximise chances of discovery undercover

PYRAMID HILL GOLD PROJECT – MUCKLEFORD AREA
Drilling to date at the West Target has identified a wide zone of strongly elevated Arsenic (pathfinder) over several holes

-
Strong Arsenic anomalism up to 412ppm in Castlemaine Gp Sediments, within coherent and open >50ppm anomaly
