Approach

Phase 2 metallurgical testwork program commenced in Q4 2020 – investigating flotation of sulphide mineralisation and leaching of oxide mineralisation, as well as detailed mineralogical analysis to determine PGE deportment

  • Two commercially attractive, high-grade Cu-PGE-Au and Ni-PGE concentrates produced

Sulphide

  • Tests to date indicate good concentrate grades and metal recoveries are likely using a conventional sequential flotation flowsheet – optimisation work now underway

  • Low levels of deleterious elements (As, Cd, Se, Te, Hg, Pb, F, Cl) in composites, assays pending on concentrates

  • Leach tests indicate 76% Pd and 95% Au extraction into solution

Oxide

  • Further work underway to determine effect on PGE recovery over a range of grind sizes and temperatures, as well as the optimal techniques to recover metals from solution

  • The proximity of Julimar to major communities provides a unique opportunity to build a workforce of local permanent residents (drive in, drive out)

  • Growing employment opportunities – already having positive economic impact on local and surrounding economies

  • Community Fact Sheets have been developed, providing key information on topics such as environment, community consultation, exploration licences and drilling activities

  • Active, open and transparent engagement continues with key landowners, Shire and local community representatives

  • Numerous case studies of successful major mining projects in or around State Forest areas in WA (Boddington, Alcoa WA, Worsley, Greenbushes)

  • Undertaken baseline flora, fauna, heritage and dieback surveys on private land – a proactive approach

  • Utilising low-impact exploration techniques within the Julimar State Forest

Our PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery at Julimar in WA is shaping up to be a world-class deposit of critical, clean energy metals (battery and hydrogen)

Significant exploration upside in the new West Yilgarn 2 Ni-Cu-PGE Province, the Pyramid Hill Gold Project in Vic and the Hawkstone Ni-Cu-Co Project in WA

A major greenfield discovery, ~A$36M returned to 3 shareholders to date and ~A$146M[1] in cash and investments – an excellent track record

  • 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

27

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 Phase 3. Drill-out scale potential prospects and revisit other targets

Focus on 2 high-priority prospects → Karri and Ironbark (2[nd] diamond drill program completed, final assays pending)

700 AC holes completed across ~10 targets

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

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 <==

  • 2 phases of diamond drilling completed for structure / geology completed

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

  • All 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

  • Final assays pending from Ph 2 drilling
