Exploration Projects

The Chalice Portfolio

Chalice is a globally recognised name in minerals exploration, led by an experienced team of proven mine-finders. Our major greenfield discovery in early 2020, Gonneville, defined a new mineral province in Western Australia – the West Yilgarn Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (Ni-Cu-PGE) Province. The West Yilgarn is completely unexplored and has immense exploration potential, making it one of the most exciting nickel sulphide provinces worldwide.

Chalice holds an unrivalled >8,000km2 licence area in this exciting new province, made possible by our ‘first mover’ advantage. The West Yilgarn portfolio is largely 100% owned, but also includes several earn-in joint ventures.

In addition, Chalice holds several other generative exploration opportunities, investments and royalties.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (90-100%)

Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Julimar Exploration Project covers an area of ~350km2 and is located north-east of Perth, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Project is an exploration licence holding surrounding the major green metals discovery – the Gonneville Project – and includes areas of farmland and State Forest.
  • The Project is centred on the >30km long Julimar Complex, a newly recognised intrusive geological belt that is prospective for magmatic sulphide mineralisation.
  • Low-impact, systematic exploration is underway, targeting the discovery of new Ni-Cu-PGE deposits. Several encouraging zones of sulphide mineralisation have been intersected over ~10km of Julimar Complex strike length to date.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (70 – 100%)

Kings Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Kings Project covers an area of ~1450km2 and is located north-east of Perth, in the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Kings Project was staked following Chalice’s discovery of the Gonneville Deposit in early 2020.
  • Chalice is targeting magmatic nickel-copper-PGE deposits, however there is also potential for other deposit types within the largely unexplored mineral province.
  • First-pass reconnaissance exploration is continuing with several new drill-ready greenfield targets identified.
  • The Project includes an earn-in and joint venture agreement on the Bolgart Project with Northam Resources Limited (Chalice earning up to 70% JV interest).

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (80-100%)

Barrabarra Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Barrabarrra Project covers an area of ~4,200km2 and is located east of Geraldton, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Project was staked following Chalice’s discovery of the Gonneville Deposit in early 2020.
  • Chalice is targeting magmatic nickel-copper-PGE deposits, however there is also potential for other deposit types within the largely unexplored mineral province.
  • The Project includes several unexplored interpreted mafic-ultramafic intrusions, with anomalous Ni-Cu-Cr+/-PGE in soils.
  • First-pass reconnaissance exploration is continuing with several new drill-ready greenfield targets identified.
  • The Project includes an earn-in and joint venture agreement on the Koojan Project with Koojan Exploration Pty Ltd (Chalice earning up to 80% JV interest).

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (70-100%)

South West Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The South West Project covers an area of ~700km2 and is located near Yornup, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Project is centred on a ‘Julimar Complex lookalike’, the Thor Ni-Cu-PGE Target – a ~20km long mafic-ultramafic complex with a strong magnetic signature and historical massive sulphide occurrences.
  • The Project includes an earn-in agreement with Venture Minerals (ASX: VMS) – Chalice has already earnt a 51% interest in these tenements and may earn a further 19% interest by spending $2.5 million over two years.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (75-100%)

Narryer Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Narryer Project covers an area of 1,240km2 and is located in the Murchison district, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • Geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys have identified multiple targets of interest which continue to be explored.
  • The Project includes an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Platina Resources (ASX: PGM) (Chalice earning 75%).

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (Sensore earning 70%)

Auralia Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Auralia Project covers an area of ~990km2 and is located ~500km east of Kalgoorlie, within the Madura Province.
  • Limited historical exploration drilling below the Eucla Basin in this area intersected ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks associated with a ~80km long magnetic anomaly.
  • Under an earn-in and joint venture agreement with SensOre Limited (ASX: S3N), Sensore may earn up to a 70% interest in the Project.

northern territory (nt bullion earning 75%)

Warrego North Copper-Gold Exploration Project

  • The Warrego North Project covers an area of 180km2 and is located ~20km north-west of the historical Warrego copper-gold mine, within the Tennant Creek Mineral Field.
  • Warrego was the largest deposit mined in the area with historical production of ~1.6Moz of gold and ~175,000 tonnes of copper, in a classic iron oxide copper gold (“IOCG”) geological setting.
  • Under an earn-in and joint venture agreement with NT Bullion Limited, NT Bullion may earn up to a 75% interest in the Project.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (20%)

Nulla South Gold Exploration Project

  • The Nulla South Project covers an area of 160km2 and is located ~40km south-west of Southern Cross, within the Westonia greenstone belt.
  • Under an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS), Ramelius has earned a 75% interest in the Project and Chalice has retained a 20% interest in the Project (5% owned by prospector).
  • Ramelius Resources continue to conduct exploration drilling to test previously identified gold anomalies.
