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 Ni-Cu-PGE Province. The West Yilgarn is completely unexplored and has immense exploration potential, making it one of the most exciting mineral 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.

Northern Territory (70%-100% CHN)

Warrego North Copper-Gold Project

  • The Warrego North Project is located in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field in the Northern Territory, a highly endowed copper-gold province known for high-grade ironstone-hosted deposits.
  • Located along strike from the historic Warrego Mine, which produced high-grade copper-gold mineralisation (~6.75Mt @ ~6.6 g/t Au and ~1.9% Cu).
  • Targeting Tennant Creek-style iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation associated with ironstones.
  • Prospective geology defined by structural interpretation and coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies.
  • Limited historical exploration, with potential to identify new ironstone-hosted systems under shallow cover.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA (EARN-IN JV)

Callabonna Copper-Gold Project

  • The Callabonna Project comprises two exploration licences located east of Lake Frome in northern South Australia, within a frontier region prospective for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation.
  • Earn-in joint venture with Red Metal Limited (EL6204 100% Red Metal; EL6318 51% Red Metal / 49% Variscan Mines).
  • Located within the broader Gawler Craton, along strike from major IOCG deposits including Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill.
  • Targeting basement-hosted IOCG mineralisation associated with coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies.
  • Limited historical drilling has intersected hydrothermal brecciation and alteration indicative of a mineralised system.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (90-100% CHN)

Barrabarra Gold-Copper Exploration Project

  • The Barrabarra Gold-Copper Project covers an area of ~3,600km2 and is located east of Geraldton, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Au-Cu and Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Project was staked following Chalice’s discovery of the Gonneville Deposit in early 2020.
  • New geological interpretation has revealed extensive areas of interpreted Archaean greenstone belt geology, transected by prominent regional-scale structures.
  • Almost entirely unexplored targeting gold-copper systems, such as Boddington (~40Moz).
  • Soil sampling shows coherent gold (plus pathfinder) anomalies across multi-kilometre trends.
  • First-pass, shallow AC drilling at the Warspite, Curtido and Recherche West targets  intersected prospective greenstone geology and anomalous gold/copper at two greenfield target areas previously mapped as barren granite/gneiss.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (UP TO 70%)

Northam Resources Joint Venture Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Northam Project is an earn-in joint venture with Northam Resources Limited and comprises an area of ~1,300km2, located ~35km east of the Gonneville Deposit, in the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The large-scale tenement holding is contiguous with Chalice’s existing West Yilgarn tenure.
  • Chalice is targeting magmatic nickel-copper-PGE deposits, however there is also potential for other deposit types (including gold and copper systems) within this largely unexplored district.
  • Airborne EM survey, geochemical surveys and historical drilling for iron ore across the area have identified anomalies and prospective mafic to ultramafic intrusives, which are the focus of further exploration.

South West Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The South West Project covers an area of ~90km2 and is located near Yornup, within the highly prospective West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
  • The Project is centred on a mafic-ultramafic complex with a strong magnetic signature and anomalous surface geochemistry.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA (90-100% CHN)

Kings Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Kings Project covers an area of ~1,600km2 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.
  • Hardtack target is a new ~7km x 700m, north-south trending gold-in-soil anomaly, positioned on the regionally significant suture zone between the South West and Youanmi terranes.
  • Drilling defined widespread gold anomalism in all holes, including 1m @ 6.61g/t Au from 128m in drill hole BRC002, as well as broader zones of sub-1g/t Au.

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 critical minerals 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.

Narryer Nickel-Copper-PGE Exploration Project

  • The Narryer Project covers an area of ~1,250km2 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.

Voyager Gold Project

  • The Voyager Project comprises a large landholding within the South West Yilgarn, an emerging gold province considered prospective for large-scale gold mineralisation.
  • Targeting structurally controlled gold systems associated with regional-scale shear zones, including the Yandina and Narembeen shear corridors.
  • The region hosts several emerging deposits, including Katanning (~3Moz), Tampia (~700koz) and Griffins Find (~90koz), demonstrating the potential for significant gold systems.
  • Exploration is focused on identifying large-scale, underexplored structural corridors beneath shallow cover, where historical datasets are limited.
