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.

Our Project covers hundreds of kilometres of prospective strike:
-
Muckleford (>300km)
-
Mt William (>75km)
-
Percydale (>40km)
-
Prior to Chalice most areas 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 Phase 3. Drill-out scale potential prospects and revisit other targets
Currently drilling 2 highpriority targets → Karri and Ironbark (>300 holes completed thus far)

==> picture [561 x 435] intentionally omitted <==
-
~180 vertical AC holes completed to date – no historical drilling near target
-
50-85m of Murray Basin cover
-
Continuous gold trend over >4km of strike and up to 500m wide
-
Up to ~4g/t gold intersected in weathered basement on wide-spaced drill lines
-
Early similarities to typical strike extensive gold systems in region like Fosterville and Bendigo
-
Gold zone remains open along strike and as yet untested at depth
-
250m x 50m infill AC grid drilling in progress
-
Maiden diamond hole for structural / drill planning purposes completed (assays pending)

2. IRONBARK TARGET
Up to 3g/t gold intersected in the first AC drill holes at the Ironbark Target ; initial test at depth currently underway
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
~100 vertical AC holes completed to date – no historical drilling
-
50-80m of Murray Basin cover
-
New 4m composite drill intercepts at Ironbark North:
-
4m @ 3.0g/t Au , within 8m @ 2.0g/t Au
-
8m @ 0.45g/t Au, within 16m @ 0.24g/t Au
-
Gold within diorite intrusion and on margins – a simple drill target
-
Ironbark intrusion also mineralised with up to 1g/t Au to date
All gold zones remain open
-
250m x 50m infill AC grid drilling in progress
-
Maiden diamond program
-
underway for structural / drill planning purposes
17
2. IRONBARK TARGET
High-grade gold in diorite is common in Eastern Victoria, however Chalice’s discovery of gold in the Ironbark diorites is the first in the Bendigo Zone
==> picture [117 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [959 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [678 x 418] intentionally omitted <==
Gold in the diorites and on the margins
-
Several high-grade diorite-associated gold deposits in Eastern Victoria, including:
-
Cohen’s Reef (~ 1.5Moz @ 32g/t Au ) → a single gold lode equivalent to half a Fosterville!
-
Morning Star ( ~800koz @ 26g/t Au )
-
Both Ironbark diorite intrusions have a much larger footprint than those in Eastern Victoria
18
The Project has strong commercial drivers for exploration
Highly prospective but essentially unexplored +++ → a new opportunity with huge upside and no 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
++

APPENDIX - 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 [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
