Forward-Looking Statement
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements and forward information, including 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 announcement 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 and objectives; the realisation of mineral resource estimates; the likelihood of further exploration success; the timing of planned exploration and study activities on the Company’s projects; mineral processing strategy; access to sites for planned drilling activities; and the success of future potential mining operations and the timing of the receipt of exploration results. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as, “commitment” or “committed”, “considered”, “could”, “estimate”, “expected”, “for”, “further”, “future”, “goal”, “indicates”, “is”, “likely”, “may”, “needs”, “open”, “optionality”, “plan” or “planned”, “points”, “possible”, “potential”, “promising”, “strategy”, “upside”, “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 forwardlooking 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; whether visually identified mineralisation is confirmed by laboratory assays; obtaining appropriate approvals to undertake exploration activities; metal grades being realised; metallurgical recovery rates being realised; 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 study programs and budgets based upon the results and outcomes, successful completion of the strategic partnering process; changes in commodity prices; economic conditions; 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 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 the 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.

Julimar is the first major PGE discovery in Australia and one of the few recent large-scale magmatic NiCu-PGE discoveries in the western world
Pd, Pt, Ni and Co are classified as ‘critical minerals’ by most western governments
The western world is extremely reliant on Russian Palladium supply (~40% of global supply)
Located in one of the world’s most stable and friendly mining jurisdictions with a commitment to sustainable devel ~~o~~ pment
The Australian Government has committed >$1 billion to accelerate strategically significant projects and strengthen internal critical mineral security and supply chains[(1)]
Strategic partner interest[(2)] in Julimar’s large nickel sulphide endowment has increased significantly, triggered by the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

The growing battery industry needs new, large scale and sustainable sources of battery-grade nickel – a unique opportunity for Julimar
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [33 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [43 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Battery-grade nickel consumers forecast to become heavily reliant on supply sources that do not meet sustainability standards , i.e. NPI
With 860kt of contained nickel defined to date, Julimar has the potential to become a globally significant source of class 1 nickel, which has a much lower carbon footprint than other sources
Julimar’s proximity to WA’s world class power grid and infrastructure make it uniquely positioned to deliver low carbon intensity metals
Class 1 nickel sources are likely to demand a premium , driven by the need to comply with emissions targets and to satisfy increasing sensitivity to sustainability standards

Current primary supply of Pt and Pd is ~16Moz p.a. Pd is in prolonged deficit while Pt in surplus
Our view is that with conservative hydrogen adoption , demand for Pt and Pd from hydrogen could be as high as ~ 8Moz p.a.[(1)]
A modest hydrogen adoption scenario includes ~10% share of light vehicle market, ~40% share of heavy vehicle market, and 50-70GW of electrolyser capacity by 2040
Projections do not include PGE usage from hydrogen applications in shipping, aviation, industrial or steel manufacturing
European Union forecasts a 970x increase in PGM demand from hydrogen by 2050[(2)]

Long term PGE demand forecast: supporting assumptions & calculations
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
The long term PGE demand impact from the Hydrogen economy have been generated by Company analysis using assumptions and forecasts that have been informed by recent third party research. The assumptions used below relate to the year 2040. Note: There is the potential risk that these projections will not be achieved should the adoption of a hydrogen economy be less than expected or if major technological developments reduce the PGE loadings required for electrolysers and fuel cells.

Metal equivalent assumptions of Gonneville Resource, 28 March 2023
==> picture [83 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Based on metallurgical testwork completed to date for the sulphide domain, it is the Company’s opinion that all the quoted elements included in metal equivalent calculations (palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, copper and cobalt) have a reasonable potential of being recovered and sold.
Only limited samples have been collected from the transitional zone due to its relatively small volume. Therefore, the metallurgical recovery of all metals in this domain are unknown. However, given the relatively small proportion of the transition zone in the Mineral Resource, the impact on the metal equivalent calculation is not considered to be material.
Metal equivalents for the transitional and sulphide domains are calculated according to the formula below:
-
NiEq%= Ni (%) + 0.32x Pd(g/t) + 0.21x Pt(g/t) + 0.38x Au(g/t) + 0.83x Cu(%) + 3.00x Co(%);
-
PdEq(g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 0.67x Pt(g/t) + 1.17x Au(g/t) + 3.11x Ni(%) + 2.57x Cu(%) + 9.33x Co(%)
Metal recoveries used in the metal equivalent calculations are based on rounded average Resource grades for the sulphide domain (>0.35% NiEq cut-off):
- Pd – 60%, Pt – 60%, Au – 70%, Ni – 45%, Cu – 85%, Co – 45%.
Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the Whittle pit optimisation (based on long term consensus analyst estimates):
- US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,200/oz Pt, US$1,800/oz Au, US$24,000/t Ni, US$10,500/t Cu and US$72,000/t Co.
Initial metallurgical testwork indicates that only palladium and gold are likely to be recovered in the oxide domain, therefore no NiEq grade has been quoted for the oxide. The PdEq grade for the oxide has been calculated using the formula:
PdEq oxide (g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 1.27 x Au (g/t).
-
Metal recoveries based on limited metallurgical test work completed to date:
-
Pd – 75%, Au – 90%.
-
Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the pit optimisation:
-
US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,800/oz Au
For additional information on the assumptions used in the calculation of metal equivalents, refer to the ASX announcement titled “Gonneville Resource increases by approx. 50% to 3Mt NiEq”, dated 28 March 2023.
