Forward-Looking Statement
This document may contain forward-looking information, including 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 Mining 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 completion of the intended demerger, the estimated timing of drilling in the Julimar State Forest, the fair value of investments ultimately realised, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realisation of mineral resource estimates, estimation of metallurgical recoveries, the forecast timing of the estimation of mineral resources, the likelihood of exploration success at the Company’s projects, the prospectivity of the Company’s exploration projects, the existence of additional EM anomalies within the Julimar Project, the forecast timing of the completion of the Gonneville Scoping Study, the timing of future exploration activities on the Company’s exploration projects, planned expenditures and budgets and the execution thereof, the timing and availability of drill results, potential sites for additional drilling, 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 “aiming”, “could”, “deposit”, “emerging”, “estimate”, “exceptional”, “favourable”, “forecast”, “highly”, “interpreted”, “likely”, “needed”, “planned”, “potential”, “prospects”, “ongoing”, “robustness”, “significant”, ”targeted”, “unrivalled”, “world class” 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; assay results of soil samples; whether geophysical and geochemical anomalies are related to economic mineralisation or some other feature; obtaining appropriate access to undertake additional ground disturbing exploration work on EM anomalies located in the Julimar State Forrest; the results from testing EM anomalies; results of planned metallurgical test work Including results from other zones not tested yet, scaling up to commercial operations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in exploration programs and budgets based upon the results of exploration, future prices of mineral resources; 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 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.

Highly versatile but rare metal used to remove nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhausts / hydrogen / ammonia streams. NOx are 300x more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas
The key battery cathode material in EVs, high nickel NMC 811 batteries are the favoured chemistry
EV-driven nickel demand is forecast to increase 19x by 2040 ; lack of new sulphide discoveries worldwide in recent years has created a significant forecast supply shortage

The palladium price has surged with the introduction of China 5/6 emissions standards and the switch from Pt to Pd based catalytic converters
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [665 x 450] intentionally omitted <==
• Palladium is a very versatile but rare metal
-
Demand currently dominated by ICE catalytic converters
-
Tightening emissions standards (particularly on NOx emissions) has led to Pd based catalysts being preferred since 2006
-
Tighter emissions standards have already been flagged by Europe
-
Hybrid BEV catalytic converters require higher metal loadings than ICEs
-
Palladium has widespread applications in a green hydrogen economy , including:
-
Green hydrogen production using proton-exchange membrane electrolysers
-
Hydrogen or ammonia purification (scrubbing of NOx)
-
Storage and detection
-
Fuel cells
-
Hence palladium (along with the other PGEs) is becoming a strong focus in green hydrogen adoption

Chalice has adopted a systematic value-add approach across its >5,000km[2] land holding – ‘find the big gold systems first’
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [565 x 439] intentionally omitted <==
-
Project covers hundreds of kilometres of prospective strike, along crustal scale faults that host multiple tier-1 gold deposits
-
Prior to Chalice most of the area essentially un-drilled
-
Our regional-scale activities commenced in mid2018, focussed on shallow (<100m) areas of cover:
Phase 1. Screen the thin cover (<100m) areas with wide-spaced recon sampling + Phase 2. Infill and AC drilling vector towards targets with tier-1 Phase 3. Drill-out scale potential prospects and revisit other targets Infill AC and diamond drilling on 4 highpriority prospects → Karri, Ironbark, >1100 AC holes Banksia and Wandoo completed >10 lower-priority targets → across ~10 target Further AC drilling to refine areas
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Several high-grade gold zones have been intersected on wide-spaced drill holes at the Karri Prospect , including 5.1m @ 14g/t Au
