Julimar NickelCopper-PGE Project

Tenure and nickel occurrences over regional magnetics (TMI-RTP) April 2020

==> picture [82 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • ~1 hour drive NE of Perth, with direct access to major highway, rail, power and port infrastructure

  • ~26km x 7km layered ultramafic-mafic intrusive complex was staked in early 2018 ( 100% owned )

  • Intrusive largely under cover and had never been explored for nickel-copper-PGEs

  • In mid-2019 recon, MLEM and soil geochemistry completed over a ~1.6km x 0.7km lens-shaped , magnetic feature ( Gonneville Intrusive )

  • First drill hole in March 2020 discovered wide, shallow zone of high-grade nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation

  • Chalice then expanded its regional licence holding significantly with >2,000km[2] of new licence applications

8

The discovery hole at Gonneville targeted a strong, discrete MLEM conductor and intersected a wide high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE zone from 44m

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

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

==> picture [602 x 438] intentionally omitted <==

  • JRC001 intersected:

  • 33m @ 6.5g/t Pd, 0.7g/t Pt 1.6% Ni , 0.7% Cu, 0.1% Co from 44m, incl.

    • 13m @ 8.85g/t Pd, 1.09g/t Pt 3.15% Ni , 1.19% Cu in massive sulphides
  • Massive sulphides correlated with MLEM model (Conductor ‘E’)

  • A very strong conductive zone → zone ‘blind’ at depth

  • A further 5x high-priority MLEM targets then drilled:

  • A new, wide, high-grade zone of palladium-nickel-copper mineralisation intersected ~60m east of JRC001

  • Every drill hole assayed to date has intersected broad PGE intervals

  • A significant Ni-Cu-PGE discovery and the start of a new province

9

The intrusive has a highly prospective geometry, with similarities to globally significant magmatic Ni-Cu+/-PGE sulphide deposits

  • This eastern zone may have been intersected in JD003 ~200m to the north , down-plunge

  • Untested shallow conductive response in MLEM ~200m to south

  • JD003 in disseminated sulphides down to ~460m (in progress)

  • Diamond drilling + DHEM continues

  • RC drilling to recommence mid-May

  • SQUID EM program underway

  • Assays pending for 7 holes and all other PGEs

Strong demand growth and lack of new sources of supply is driving Palladium to record highs

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

Overview of PGEs and Uses

PGE Market and Pricing

  • The platinum group elements (PGE) are platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru)

  • PGEs are co-products or by-products in most cases, and they are substitutes for each other in several industrial applications

  • London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM) sets market prices

  • Palladium market has been in deficit for nine consecutive years , and this acute supply shortage combined with demand for catalytic converters led to a record high of US$2,856/oz in Feb 2020

  • Processing and separation of PGEs usually occurs via flotation and smelting, similar to nickel and copper

  • The most dominant use of palladium (+80%) is in automotive catalytic converters

  • Future opportunities are positive in electrification of transport – hybrid and fuel cell vehicles

Palladium Demand and Supply

  • The palladium and platinum markets are interlinked with regard to supply as well as demand

  • Palladium is very rare , and hence is currently one of the most valuable precious metals

  • Demand (~11.5Moz in 2019) largely driven by use as an auto-catalyst in gasoline and gasoline-hybrid vehicles, which have outsold diesel vehicles recently

  • Supply (~10.8Moz in 2019) is predominantly sourced from mines in Russia and South Africa (+75%) and very few recent discoveries worldwide

  • Current PGE pricing (Metals Daily, 29 April 2020):

Pt = US$775/oz Pd = US$1,940/oz Ir = US$1570/oz

  • Gold in the diorites and on the margins

  • Several historic highgrade diorite-associated gold deposits in Eastern Victoria, including:

  • Cohen’s Reef

(~ 1.5Moz @ 32g/t Au ) → a single gold lode equivalent to half a Swan Zone!

  • Morning Star ( ~800koz @ 26g/t Au )

• Both Ironbark diorite intrusions have a much larger footprint than those in Eastern Victoria

22

The Pyramid Hill Gold Project has strong commercial drivers for exploration

+++

+++

+++

+++

++

++

Highly prospective but essentially unexplored → a new no opportunity with huge upside and legacy brownfield issues

High-grade district + operating mines nearby → strong commercial drivers for exploration

5,000km[2 ] area with >300km of prospective strike → potential for dozens of discoveries

100% owned

→ shareholders will get entire uplift of a discovery

Moderate cost exploration due to cover, however air-core drilling has excellent ‘ bang for your buck

Almost exclusively broadacre farmland → year-round access with no environmentally sensitive ‘no-go’ areas . Chalice maintains strong social licence to operate

Forward plan – systematic exploration programs to continue in WA and VIC

So why invest in Chalice?
----- End of picture text -----

The new Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE discovery in WA has and has excellent 1 significant scale potential infrastructure access

Early exploration at the Pyramid Hill Gold Project in Vic 2 has identified a 4km long gold trend, close to Fosterville and along strike from world-class goldfields

>A$110M generated from asset sales, ~A$36M returned 3 to shareholders to date and ~A$25M[1] in working capital and investments – an excellent track record

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

The Gruyere discovery was located in a similar underexplored yet proven mineral province

  • 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

  • A recent and highly relevant example of how a junior explorer grew rapidly off the back of a single discovery
