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 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 forwardlooking 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 forwardlooking 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.

  • Widespread PGE-rich disseminated sulphides within intrusion, down to ~600m below surface so far

  • Widespread PGE-rich oxide zone from surface to ~25m

  • Preliminary metallurgical testwork indicates:

  • Sulphide mineralisation amenable to flotation under standard conditions

  • Low levels of deleterious elements

  • Oxide mineralisation amenable to oxidative leaching under standard conditions

  • Step-out and resource definition drill program ongoing with 2 RC and 2 diamond rigs

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

As an early mover, Chalice staked a >5,000km[2] essentially unexplored land holding surrounding two world-class gold deposits

  • 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

26

The world-class gold deposits are controlled by regional scale faults, which continue to the north into Chalice’s tenure → follow the strike

Chalice has adopted a systematic value-add approach – ‘find the big gold systems first’

  • 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 (maiden diamond drill program completed)

700 AC holes completed across ~10 targets

  • >15 lower-priority targets → drilling on hold for now

1. KARRI PROSPECT

==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

Initial geological holes have confirmed a large gold system at depth below the >4km long gold trend at the Karri Prospect

==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [542 x 436] intentionally omitted <==

  • Maiden 6 hole diamond program for structure / geology recently completed

  • First ever test at depth into a ‘blind target’

  • All six diamond drill holes intersected tightly folded, upright stratigraphy and primary .

  • gold mineralisation

  • Several strike extensive anticlinal structures identified (typical geological setting for highgrade gold deposits in the region)

  • Anomalous gold intersected in all holes

  • Several high-grade gold zones intersected ~ 1-2km apart

  • Results indicate potential for a tier-1 scale gold system

  • 2 diamond rigs currently drilling

1. KARRI PROSPECT

The initial diamond holes provided a first glance at the geology and compelling targets for the current phase of diamond drilling
