This document may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and forwardlooking 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 Company’s strategy, the price of O3 Mining securities, 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”, “impending”, “likely” or “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; obtaining access to undertake additional exploration work on EM anomalies located in the Julimar State Forrest; assay results of visually interpreted mineralised intersections; future prices of commodities; geophysical anomalies may or may not be associated with economic mineralisation; results of planned metallurgical test work, 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 investments and the timing and proceeds realised on future disposals of investments, the impact of the COVID 19 epidemic 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 forwardlooking 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.

Chalice positioned itself early and strategically, with a focus on:
-
Unexplored, prospective areas (potential world-class deposits hidden by cover)
-
Sparsely populated and less sensitive areas (plains of the Murray Basin) where large-scale mining feasible
30
The world-class gold deposits are controlled by regional scale faults, which continue to the north into Chalice’s tenure → follow the strike

Our Project covers hundreds of kilometres of prospective strike:
-
Muckleford (>300km)
-
Mt William (>75km)
-
Percydale (>40km)
-
Prior to Chalice most of the area essentially un-drilled
-
• Our regional-scale activities commenced in mid-2018:
Phase 1. Screen the thin cover (<100m) areas with widespaced recon Phase 2. Infill and sampling + AC drilling vector towards targets with tier-1 scale potential
Phase 3. Drill-out prospects and revisit other targets
Focus on 2 high-priority prospects → Karri and Ironbark (2[nd] diamond drill program underway)
700 AC holes completed across ~10 targets
- >15 lower-priority targets → drilling on hold for now

Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company in this document comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the SEC. Information contained in this document describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC filings. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will be able to legally and economically extract them.

Key risks

This section identifies the areas that the directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business, with investing in the exploration, development and mining industry, and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. Many of these risk factors are beyond the control of the Company and its directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.
Access
There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies to have access to land in Australia. Obtaining access to undertake further exploration and, ultimately, development and mining activities is a particular risk to the Company as a result of the Julimar and Pyramid Hill Projects being located on private farmland and/or State Forest.
The Company is seeking to mitigate this risk where possible by entering into acquisition or compensation and access agreements with private landholders. The recent acquisition of private properties over approximately 85% of the Gonneville deposit is a significant milestone. However, further negotiation and consultation will be required with relevant government authorities, landowners/occupiers and native title holders for other areas of the Julimar Project. Inability or delays in gaining such access may significantly and adversely impact the Company's ability to undertake its proposed activities on its key projects. The Company is currently seeking consent to commence non-ground disturbing exploration activities within the Julimar State Forest where there are a number of promising exploration targets. Future stages, including drilling, may be subject to additional access conditions and approvals, which are currently unknown. There is also no legislative timeframe for such government approvals and consents and as such, there is a risk of delay in exploration activities or that such approvals or consents may not be obtained.
Additional requirements for capital
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the results of future exploration and development activities and landowner negotiations. The Company believes its available cash and resources following the Offer should be adequate to fund its obligations in respect of its exploration and development activities and other objectives for the next 12 – 24 months. Additional funding will likely be required thereafter to undertake further feasibility studies and other development costs for the Julimar Project or for other projects.
Additional funding may be raised by the Company via the issues of equity, debt or a combination of debt and equity or asset sales. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its programs or enter into joint venture arrangements to reduce expenditure and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. Unfavourable market conditions may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise additional funding regardless of the Company's operating performance.
Budget risk
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Pandemic risk
Supply chain disruptions resulting from the transmission of pandemics such as COVID-19 in the community and measures implemented by governments around the world to limit the transmission of the virus may adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial position, prospects and ability to raise capital. Interstate travel bans may also lead to shortages of skilled personnel. Further outbreaks of COVID-19 or other pandemics and the implementation of intrastate travel restrictions also have the potential to restrict access to site.
Exploration risk
Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk activity and there can be no guarantee of exploration success on the Company's projects. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Further, exploration involves certain operating hazards, such as failure and or breakdown of equipment, adverse geological, seismic and geotechnical conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, adverse weather conditions, pollution and other environmental hazards and risks.

Key risks (cont.)

==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Estimation risk
The Company is working towards the definition of a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery at the Julimar Project. No assurance can be given that any future mineral resource estimate will result in a mineral reserve and be commercially viable and economically exploited.
Mineral resource estimates are prepared in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 and are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available, which could in turn affect the Company's mining plans and ultimately its financial performance and value. In addition, commodity price fluctuations, as well as increased production costs or reduced throughput and/or recovery rates, may render reserves and resources uneconomic and so may materially affect the estimates.
Development and mining risk
Ultimate and continuous success of the Company's activities is dependent on a number of factors including:
-
determination of mineral resources and mineral reserves;
-
metallurgical recoveries, mineral processing outcomes and metal concentrate payabilities;
-
the development of economically recoverable mineral reserves;
-
access to adequate capital to fund and develop its projects;
-
construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
-
securing and maintaining title to interests;
-
obtaining regulatory consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of mineral exploration, development and production; and
-
retention of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
The Company's operations may be delayed or prevented as a result of factors including weather conditions, mechanical difficulties or a shortage of technical expertise or equipment. There may be difficulties with obtaining government and/or third-party approvals, operational difficulties encountered with construction, extraction and production activities, unexpected shortages or increase in the price of consumables, plant and equipment, cost overruns or lack of access to required levels of funding. The Company's operations may be curtailed or disrupted by a number of risks beyond its control such as environmental hazards, industrial accidents and disputes, technical failures, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, adverse weather conditions, fires, explosions and other accidents.
The occurrence of any of these circumstances could result in the Company not realising its operational or development plans or in such plans costing more than expected or taking longer to realise than expected. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial and operational performance.
Access to infrastructure risk
Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to a significant degree, on adequate infrastructure. In the course of developing future mines, the Company may need to construct and/or update existing infrastructure, which includes permanent water supplies, dewatering, tailings storage facilities, power, maintenance facilities and logistics services and access roads. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could materially adversely affect the Company's operations, financial condition and results of operations. Any such issues arising in respect of the supporting infrastructure or on the Company's sites could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Furthermore, any failure or unavailability of the Company's operational infrastructure (for example, through equipment failure or disruption to its transportation arrangements) could materially adversely affect its exploration activities or development of a mine or project. Tenure risk
Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and has annual expenditure and reporting commitments, together with other conditions requiring compliance. The Company could lose its title to or its interest in one or more of the tenements in which it has an interest if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet the minimum expenditure commitments.
The Company's tenements, and other tenements in which the Company may acquire an interest, will be subject to renewal, which is usually at the discretion of the relevant authority. If a tenement is not renewed the Company may lose the opportunity to discover mineralisation and develop that tenement.
The Company cannot guarantee that any of its tenement applications will be granted, or that tenements in which it presently has an interest will be renewed beyond their current expiry date. Approval risk
The Company will be reliant on heritage, environmental and other approvals in Western Australia to enable it to proceed with the exploration and development of any of its tenements or the granting of its tenement applications. There is no guarantee that the required approvals will be granted, and failure by the Company to obtain the relevant approvals, or any delay in the award or transfer of the approvals, may materially 46 and adversely affect the Company's ability to proceed with its proposed exploration and development programs.
Key risks (cont.)
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Native title
Many of the areas the subject of the Company's tenements or tenement applications, are subject in whole or part to native title determinations, or claims made by native title parties, and may contain aboriginal heritage sites. The ability of the Company to undertake exploration or development operations on such tenements may be delayed or prohibited in the event that applicable consents cannot be obtained from the relevant native title parties.
Payment obligations
Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, licence holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the licence liable to be cancelled or its size reduced. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in its projects. Commodity price volatility
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to price and exchange rate risks.
- Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company including the international supply and demand for commodities, the quality of the minerals produced, actions taken by governments, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Environmental risk
Mineral extraction and processing is an industry that has become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. Future legislation and regulations or environmental regulations applying to mining operations may impose significant environmental obligations on the Company. The Company intends to conduct its activities in a responsible manner which minimises its impact on the environment, and in accordance with applicable laws.
Climate change risk
Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
-
the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
-
climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns.
All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
Key personnel risk
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the Company’s strategic management depends substantially on its senior management and key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.
Insurance risk
The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be available or of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that an insurer defaults in the payment of a legitimate claim by the Company.
Occupational health and safety risk
Mining and exploration activities have inherent risks and hazards. The Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. The Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information, medical facilities and training to all stakeholders through its occupational health and safety management systems. A serious site safety incident may expose the Company to significant penalties and the Company may be liable for compensation to the injured personnel. These liabilities may not be covered by the Company's insurance policies or, if they are covered, may exceed the Company's policy limits or be subject to significant deductibles. Also, any claim under the Company's insurance policies could increase the Company's future costs of insurance. Accordingly, any liabilities for workplace accidents could have a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity and financial results. It is not possible to anticipate the effect on the Company's business from any changes to workplace occupational health and safety legislation or directions or necessitated by concern for the health of the workforce. Such changes may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of the Company.

Key risks (cont.)

==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
New projects and acquisitions
The Company may make acquisitions of new resource projects in the future. There can be no guarantee that any new project acquisition will eventuate from these pursuits, or that any acquisitions will result in a return for shareholders. Such acquisitions may result in use of the Company's cash resources and issuances of equity securities, that might involve a dilution to shareholders. The Directors will use their expertise and experience in the sector to assess the value of potential projects that have characteristics that are likely to provide returns for shareholders
Third party risk
The Company will rely significantly on strategic relationships with other entities and also on a good relationship with regulatory and government departments and other interest holders. The Company will also rely on third parties to provide essential contracting services. There can be no assurance that its existing relationships will continue to be maintained or that new ones will be successfully formed. The Company could be adversely affected by changes to such relationships or difficulties in forming new ones.
Competition
The Company will compete with other companies, including major mining companies in Australia and internationally. Some of these companies will have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies. Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation point of view and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under the Offer.
Securities investments and share market conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.
Force majeure
The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including fires, labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, floods, pandemics, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. See above for discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on the Company.
Economic risk
Changes in both Australian and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.
Government and legal risk
Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine. The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect its current or proposed interests in tenements. However, changes in political and community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's exploration and/or development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of the tenements in which it holds interests. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company. Litigation risk
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, royalty disputes, other contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any material litigation.
Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares. The Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital 48 or the market value of those Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for
