Forward-Looking Statement

This presentation 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 report 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 impact of the discovery on the Julimar Project’s capital payback; the Company’s strategy; the Company’s intended activities and estimated timing of intended activities at the Julimar Project; and the success of future mining operations. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as, “affords”, “anticipates”, “believe”, “considered”, “continue”, “could”, “establishes”, “estimate”, “expected”, “future”, “interpreted”, “likely”, “looking”, “may”, “open”, “plan” or “planned”, “potential”, “robust”, “targets”, “will” 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; whether geophysical and geochemical anomalies are related to economic mineralisation or some other feature; obtaining appropriate approvals to undertake exploration activities; 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, changes in commodity prices; economic conditions; grade or recovery rates; political and social risks, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays or difficulty in obtaining governmental approvals, necessary licences, permits or financing to undertake future mining development activities; changes to the regulatory framework within which Chalice operates or may in the future; movements in the share price of investments and the timing and proceeds realised on future disposals of investments, the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic 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.

JORC Code and that Chalice’s mineral resource estimates comply with the JORC Code. The requirements of JORC Code differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws. The terms used in this announcement are as defined in the JORC Code. The definitions of these terms differ from the definitions of such terms for purposes of the disclosure requirements in the United States. As a reporting issuer in the province of Ontario, Chalice is also subject to certain Canadian disclosure requirements and standards, including the requirements of NI 43-101. The Julimar Project is a material mineral project for the purposes of NI43-101.

Platinum and Palladium

==> picture [185 x 119] intentionally omitted <==

Highly versatile but rare metals used to remove nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhausts/hydrogen/ammonia streams. NOx are 300x more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Also highly effective catalysts for use in hydrogen applications, including green hydrogen production and fuel cells.

~11Moz p.a. palladium market in deficit for nine consecutive years; supply dominated by Russia. Platinum supply dominated by South Africa, with significant political and operational challenges.

==> picture [170 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

Nickel and Cobalt

The key battery cathode materials in electric vehicles (EV), 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.

==> picture [116 x 124] intentionally omitted <==

Copper

Used extensively in the green energy industry including in renewables, energy storage and EVs.

Copper demand is forecast to outstrip supply by mid-2021; lack of new large-scale discoveries worldwide.

Utilising low-impact drilling techniques (small footprint diamond rigs) in all vegetated areas including the Julimar State Forest – drilling does not require any vegetation clearance

Numerous case studies of successful mining projects in or around State Forest areas

Proximity to major communities provides a unique opportunity to build a workforce of local

permanent residents ( drive in, drive out )

Community Info Sheets and Newsletters developed to deliver information on project activities, environmental practices and community events

Strong environmental stewardship :

  • Comprehensive program of baseline environmental surveys ongoing since 2020; covering flora, fauna, dieback, cultural heritage

  • Development of Biodiversity Strategy underway to ensure potential mining in future co-exists with conservation values

  • Baseline surface and groundwater studies underway; water studies area a priority focus for Chalice to ensure that water is responsibly managed as a shared resource

Growing community funding to achieve long term positive impacts

Growing employment opportunities – operations already having positive economic impact on surrounding economies

Active, open and transparent engagement continues with key stakeholders – trust is key to maintain our social licence

Many of the ‘giant’ Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits such as Norilsk, Jinchuan, Thompson and Voisey’s Bay are located proximal to the margin of Archean age cratons

The western margin of the Yilgarn craton (Archean) is almost entirely unexplored for these mineral systems

We made the first discovery (Julimar), so were able to stake a >8,000km[2] licence area along this western margin

Hundreds of potential intrusions already identified within our licence area

Large-scale Ni-Cu-PGE soil anomaly already identified at Barrabarra ( ~300km north of Julimar ) – AC drilling underway

MLEM currently underway at South West

Initial airborne EM surveys over remaining Julimar and new Barrabarra areas in Q4 2021 – Q1 2022

  • ~30 ground EM conductors and multikilometre scale Ni-Cu soil anomalies, comparable to Gonneville prediscovery

  • Coherent Cr soil anomaly – interpreted as mafic-ultramafic geology

Baudin-Jansz-Torres

Palladium 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 <==

  • 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 (PEM) electrolysers

  • Hydrogen or ammonia purification (scrubbing of NOx)

  • Storage and detection

  • Hydrogen fuel cells

  • Supply concentrated in Russia (Norilsk) and South Africa (by-product from Pt mines)
