General Meeting – Demerger of Falcon Metals Ltd

Dear Shareholder,

Chalice Mining Limited’s ( Chalice or the Company ) is pleased to advise that a Notice of Meeting ( Notice ) containing important information regarding the previously foreshadowed demerger of Falcon Metals Ltd ( Falcon ) from Chalice has been lodged with the ASX today in conjunction with the Falcon prospectus.

Demerger Summary

On 12 July 2021, Chalice announced its intention to seek shareholder approval for the demerger and concurrent Initial Public Offering ( IPO ) of its Australian gold assets, comprising the Pyramid Hill Project, Viking Project and Mt Jackson Project, (together, the Spin-Out Projects ). If approved, the demerger will establish a new ASX listed gold exploration company, Falcon ( ASX:FAL ).

The demerger will allow Chalice to focus on its world-class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project and the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province in Western Australia, where exploration and evaluation activities are rapidly accelerating.

If the demerger is approved by shareholders, Chalice will transfer the Spin-Out Projects to Falcon and distribute the Falcon shares held by Chalice to Chalice shareholders by way of a pro rata in-specie distribution, on the basis of 1 Falcon share for approximately every 3.025 Chalice shares held on the In-specie Record Date of 9 December 2021 . Chalice shareholders will also retain their existing Chalice shares.

In connection with the demerger, Falcon intends to undertake an IPO of Falcon shares and lodge a prospectus under section 710 of the Corporations Act for the issue of a minimum of 30,000,000 and a maximum of 60,000,000 Falcon shares at a price of $0.50 per Falcon share to raise a minimum of $15,000,000 and a maximum of $30,000,000 (before costs). It is intended that the IPO will comprise:

  • (a) a priority pro rata rights offer to eligible Chalice shareholders ( Priority Offer ); and

  • (b) an offer of any shortfall from the Priority Offer to eligible Chalice shareholders and the general public ( Shortfall Offer ).

Following the Priority Offer record date of 9 November 2021 , shareholders will be provided with instructions on how to participate in the Priority Offer and Shortfall Offer.

Detailed information regarding the proposed demerger is contained in the Notice of Meeting ( Notice ) and accompanying explanatory statement ( Meeting Materials ).
