ASX Announcement 23 July 2014 Chalice acquires the Dubenski Gold Deposit, Canada

ABN 47 116 648 956

Renegotiation of option agreement gives Chalice 100% ownership of gold deposit near Cameron Project


Chalice Gold Mines Limited ("Chalice") (ASX: CHN; TSX: CXN) is pleased to advise that it has acquired the Dubenski Gold Deposit in Ontario Canada for C$700,000 by successfully renegotiating an existing option agreement. The acquisition gives Chalice 100% ownership of the gold deposit located within 10km of the Cameron Gold Project.
The previous option agreement with the vendor included an exercise price of C$3,500,000 (exercisable on or before 30
April 2017) plus a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty. The Dubenski deposit contains an Indicated Resource of 806,000 tonnes
at 2.28 g/t for 59,000 ounces and an Inferred Resource of 392,000 tonnes at 1.44 g/t for 18,200 ounces at a cut-off grade of 1g/t to a depth of 150m below surface.
Dubenski is located on Chalice's West Cedartree Project, less than 10km to the west of the Cameron Gold deposit and provides an important additional potentially open pittable source of material to the existing Resources at the Cameron Project.

Key Acquisition Terms

The key terms and conditions of the Acquisition include:

A consideration payment of C$700,000; and

An additional payment on all gold production mined in excess of 70,000 ounces (being US$13 per ounce where the gold price is less than or equal to US$1,500 per ounce and US$16 per ounce where the Gold price is greater than US$1,500 per ounce).

The transaction is conditional upon any approvals and consents that may be necessary under the legal and regulatory regime to which the Dubenski Gold Deposit is subject.

Dubenski Project Background

The Dubenski Project consists of two contiguous mining leases covering 377 ha within the West Cedartree Project.
Gold mineralisation at Dubenski is hosted by a sub-vertical shear zone over a strike of 400m that is up to 20m wide and has been delineated to a vertical depth of more than 150m. The mineralisation consists of fine-grained pyrite and free gold associated with carbonate, sericite, silica and locally, fuchsite alteration within strongly-deformed mafic volcanic rocks. The mineralisation is open in all directions.
Chalice's Managing Director Bill Bent said, "We are very pleased to have renegotiated the acquisition of the Dubenski deposit on favourable terms. Dubenski will make an important contribution to our goal of continuing to grow and enhance the Cameron Gold Project by securing additional high-grade ounces in the region both through exploration success and acquisition."

Appendix 1

Dubenski Deposit - data, interpretation and estimate techniques; JORC 2012 Compliance tables.

The data and interpretation utilised and the resultant mineral resource estimate for the Dubenski Gold Deposit is summarised as follows: -

Geology and Mineralisation Interpretation

o The deposit consists of four steeply dipping quartz zones which outcrop and occur within a felsic sheared and altered host - tuff and lapilli tuff or sericite schist. These zones occur over a strike length of 400m and to a depth of 200m and vary from 5m to 25m in true width

o The gold is associated with disseminated pyrite, with higher-grade zones corresponding with strong silicification. Although gold is strongly associated with pyrite and silica, not all pyrite carries gold and not all silicified zones are auriferous. Visible gold is common.

o The zones of mineralisation are wireframed.

Drill Information and Sampling

o The deposit has been drilled from surface and underground using mostly NQ sized diamond drilling although only surface holes were used in this assessment.

o Drilling is diamond and mostly NQ sized, and is not well documented and contained no QAQC information. Core from this drilling is available and a re-sampling program was undertaken to confirm grade

Sample Preparation and Analysis

o Industry standard techniques are assumed as the core was prepared and analysed at an accredited commercial laboratory.

o Gold is determined by fire assay methods

Estimation Methodology

o The drilling hole information is composited within the mineralisation interpretation to the most common sample length within the dataset

o Grade is estimated for the larger zones by ordinary kriging based on an established grade continuity model determined by variography with top-cuts and search restrictions applied as necessary. The estimation is constrained by hard boundaries representing the interpretation and estimated into a block model with a parent size of 10mE x 5mN x 10mRL. Zones with less data are either estimated by inverse distance techniques or have an assigned grade.

o Density is modelled into the same blocks using supplied specific gravity information

Validation and Classification

o The block estimates are validated against the composites both globally and spatially

o The block estimates are classified according to geological confidence, data density, kriging variance

and location

Reporting

o A reporting cut-off has been determined by assumptions made on the grade required for open cut mining with a process facility located at the Cameron Site. The cut-off of 1g/t produces an average grade of 2g/t which is felt appropriate. Reporting is limited to 150m from surface

Mining and metallurgy

o metallurgical test work has determined a process recovery of in excess of 90% using a fine grind and standard CIL leach.



Appendix 1 - JORC 2012 Tables for Dubenski

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria

Explanation

Comments

Sampling

techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

The deposit was drilled and sampled by diamond

coring on variably spaced intervals along strike. The total metres within the immediate vicinity of the Deposit is 30,674m of which 15,421m of NQ sized core has been verified. The holes were drilled mostly towards grid north to intersect the near vertical mineralisation. The drill position was influenced by the relatively close proximity of a lake to the north of the deposit.

Sampling

techniques

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

The most recent drill programs have been drilled

based on existing exploration information (drilling and old workings) to infill and extent along strike the mineralisation. The holes were surveyed by Coventry employees with collars and orientation recorded. Down holes survey is recorded at collar or taken from information supplied with the project. The diamond core was logged for lithology and other geological features and the logs were supplied with the project.

Sampling

techniques

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg

'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain

1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to

produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

The diamond core was NQ sized and mineralised

intervals and adjacent locations were sampled by cutting the core in half based on observation from the core remaining at site. The preparation and analysis was undertaken at an accredited commercial laboratory. Preparation details related to the holes are assumed based on the laboratory involved and other work carried out by the former project owners. The analysis was by fire assay with either atomic absorption finish or gravimetric determination.

Drilling techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

All diamond drilling is cored from surface and hole depths range from 29m to 387m. The core was not orientated.

Drill sample

recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

There is no recorded core recovery in the database

but random selection of core from trays in the core yard indicated that core recovery was in excess of

90% - this was assessed by measuring core length against core run.

Drill sample

recovery

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

None documented but the above assessment gives

comfort that the recovery is acceptable.

Drill sample

recovery

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Whilst no assessment has been reported by previous

owners or undertaken by Coventry the competency of the core would tend to preclude any potential issue of sampling bias.

Logging

Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Datageo is unaware of any geotechnical logging

being conducted on this Project.

Logging

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography

Geological logging by the previous owners recorded

both summary and detailed lithology, mineralisation content, some angle to core axis information, vein type, incidence and frequency, magnetic content

Logging

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

The entire length of all holes, apart from surface casing, was logged.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

Based on information relating with the previous companies drilling in adjacent areas and observation of the core all core to be sampled was halved using a mechanical saw. It is not known if the core was consistently taken from one side of the stick.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

Not applicable

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Based on information relating to the previous companies approach of using commercial laboratory facilities the preparation is assumed to be industry standard practise although this cannot be verified.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

The previous company did not include any quality

control samples.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Given the lack of QAQC information a 1/4 core

resample program was undertaken which validated the average grade of the mineralised zones.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

Given the relatively high local grade variance (typical of gold deposits) the diamond samples and subsequent sampling and analysis supported by the validation by re-sampling a significant number of intervals provides confidence in the overall grade of the deposit being fairly represented.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

The assay techniques as recorded on the laboratory sheets and checked on the Laboratory website are appropriate for the determination of the level of gold in the sample. The technique was fire assay with either atomic absorption or gravimetric finish.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

No geophysical tools were utilised

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

No QAQC samples were included by the previous owners, this necessitated the re-sample program.

Verification of

sampling and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

Mineralisation in the core was observed and verified

by DataGeo when at site. The re-sample program confirmed the overall deposit grade.

The use of twinned holes.

There are locations within the Deposit where holes

from the different programs have been drilled in close proximity with the comparison in both down hole interval length and grade providing variable results. The hole traces were within 3 to 5m thus variation in grade and vein thickness should not be considered unusual.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols

Primary data was recorded on hand written drill logs

which were later entered into electronic spread sheets. There is no documentation on the method of validation on the contents of the logs hence the need for the review of the data.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Not applicable

Location of data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

The collar positions were resurveyed by Coventry from a known datum. The orientation and dip at surface was recorded from the casing (if present) in the holes. Down hole orientation was recorded using appropriate techniques for the drilling from

2008 onwards, previous hole had only occasional

acid recording for inclination.

Location of data points

Specification of the grid system used.

The regional grid is UTM NAD83 Zone 15 and the

Deposit strike is equivalent to the EW axis of the grid.

Location of data points

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Topographic control is taken from contoured orthophotography and depth reading within the lake.

Data spacing and

distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration

Results.

The upper part of the Deposit (438300mE through

to 438500mE) has been drilled on 10m x 15m spacing to a depth of 100 m below the surface. Elsewhere the drill density decreases to 20 m x 20 m and to one hole per section on some sections to the east

Data spacing and

distribution

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Successive drilling programs have infilled the

previous and on the majority of occasions drilling has returned mineralisation in the expected locations. Together with surface exposure there is a high degree of confidence in the geological continuity. The style of mineralisation does not provide evidence of grade continuity over significant distances along strike.

Data spacing and

distribution

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

The sampling reflects the geological conditions with

most sample intervals being between 0.8 and 1.1m in length.

Orientation of data in relation to geological

structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

The drilling is oriented mostly to grid north on the majority of occasions and thus designed to intersect the near vertical dipping veins as near as possible in a perpendicular manner.

Orientation of data in relation to geological

structure

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

No sampling bias is considered to have been introduced.

Sample security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The chain of custody is unknown for this Deposit but

if it is compared to the same companies approach for the nearby Deposits then the procedures adopted are likely to be appropriate.

Audits or reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

Review and checks on collar location and down hole

survey information were carried out by the DataGeo as part of the field visit and the results were acceptable. Drill data was randomly audited by comparing data held in the database to copies of the field and assay sheets and this was found to be acceptable.

Section 2: Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resource

Criteria

Explanation

Comments

Database integrity

Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.

Review and checks on collar location and down hole

survey information were carried out by the DataGeo as part of the field visit and the results were acceptable. Drill data was randomly audited by comparing data held in the database to copies of the field and assay sheets and this was found to be acceptable.

Database integrity

Data validation procedures used.

The client entered all information provided into an

Access database and did spot checks on accuracy. The above audit provided sufficient confidence in the database contents to state that it accurately represents the drill information.

Site visits

Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits.

A site visit was made in the period 20th to 22nd July

2012 at which time DataGeo reviewed the entire West Cedartree Project area including the Dubenski Deposit. The surface exposure and drill hole collar locations were reviewed and core inspected.

Site visits

If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case.

Not applicable

Geological

interpretation

Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.

The confidence in the geological interpretation is

considered to be reasonably good as it is supported by surface exposure and close spaced drilling. There is evidence of displacement at depth in the central part of the deposit. Overall this style of deposit is well represented in nearby deposits/prospects within similar geological settings.

Geological

interpretation

Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.

Only physical data obtained in the field was utilised

this consisted of the position of the mineralisation at surface and the interpretation from the drilling at depth.

Geological

interpretation

The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation.

The application of hard boundaries to reflect the

position of the mineralised zones is supported by the field and drilling observations. No other assessment style is thought appropriate at this time.

Geological

interpretation

The use of geology in guiding and controlling

Mineral Resource estimation.

The presence of quartz and shearing within the

appropriate rock type provides the geological control and this combined with presence of gold is used to constrain the interpretation.

Geological

interpretation

The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology.

The zones are subject to pinch and swell along strike and down dip and this combined with the natural variability of gold distribution affects the continuity of the mineralisation.

Dimensions

The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource.

The drill hole spacing for those holes utilised in the

mineral resource estimate along strike varies between 10m to 15m in the central western area to

20m to 25m to the eastern end of the mineralisation. The upper part of the Deposit (438300mE through to 438500mE) has been drilled on 10m x 15m spacing to a depth of 100 m below the surface. Elsewhere the drill density decreases to

20 m x 20 m and to one hole per section on some sections to the east.

8

Estimation

and modelling techniques

The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters used.

The larger zones (in terms of composites) were

estimated using ordinary kriging given the presence of a grade continuity model. Zones with fewer composites had grade estimated using inverse distance techniques to the power of 3 and the smallest zone had a grade assigned from the composites. Gold estimation was carried out in

VulcanTM application. Specific gravity was estimated

using inverse distance methods. The composites were created within each zone and input to the grade estimation was restricted to those composites which were within the zone being estimated. Top- cuts were applied to the composites based on statistical analysis if required and for zone min02 which contained the highest grade composites which were top-cut to 20g/t had their influence restricted to 15m along strike, 10m down dip and

5m perpendicular to the dip-strike plane. Estimated blocks were informed a three step strategy with orientation set to the orientation of the vein being estimated. The initial (primary) search was 20m x

10m x 5m in strike, dip and across dip-strike plane. This search range was expanded by double the length for blocks were not informed in the primary search. This strategy informed 85% of the blocks within the zones to be estimated.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data.

No production is recorded. A shaft was sunk in the hanging wall and a crosscut made towards the mineralisation to establish drill position but there is no record sampling from this development. Previous estimates have occurred on more localised areas which in general terms are comparable to the mineral estimate.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products.

There are no by-products.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation).

There are no deleterious elements.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed.

The block model was constructed using blocks which

were 10mE (along strike) x 5mN (across strike) by

10m in the vertical plane. Sub-celling to 1/2 the block size in each direction was adopted to ensure accurate volume representation. Estimation was to the parent block size.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units.

Not applicable

Estimation

and modelling techniques

Any assumptions about correlation between variables.

Not applicable

Estimation

and modelling techniques

Description of how the geological interpretation was used to control the resource estimates.

Hard boundaries were applied to the zones. Grade was estimated within these boundaries.

Estimation

and modelling techniques

Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or capping.

Statistical analysis indicated that some zones had elevated coefficients of variation and thus to minimise the influence of outlier grades top-cuts were applied.

9

The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use of reconciliation data if available.

Volume validation was carried out by comparison of

the solids representing the mineralisation to the block model. Grade validation was carried by both global comparison of the average estimated grade to the average input grade and spatially by comparison of the estimated grades to the input grades by position. Also visual comparison was used.

Moisture

Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.

The tonnages were estimated using specific gravity determined by wet and dry measurements, and then modelling the result within the block model.

Cut-off parameters

The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied.

A 0.5g/t Au boundary appears to define statistically and geologically the margins of the veins.

Mining factors or

assumptions

Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions made.

Mining of this deposit will be by open cut methods

given the deposit's proximity to the surface. As part of the Cameron Gold Camp Project this deposit is scheduled to be mined to a depth of approximately

90 at a cut-off grade of 0.53g/t Au.

Metallurgical factors or assumptions

The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.

No metallurgical test work has been conducted on this deposit however neighbouring deposits in mostly similar geological settings have been sufficiently tested by Coventry's consultants to allow the assumption that using a conventional fine grind and cyanide extraction a recovery of 90% is likely to be achieved.

Environmental

factors or assumptions

Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made.

No assumptions have been made but it is considered

likely that the management of waste rock and process residue will be handled as part of the Cameron Gold Project.

Bulk density

Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.

Specific gravity has been determined from 1684 1/4

core samples using weight in the air and weight in water technique. The results were modelled using inverse distance techniques into the block model.

10

The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.

The rocks do not display significant porosity given

the setting is mostly felsic volcanics, any voids produced at the time of emplacement have been filled by quartz.

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials.

The material is consistent as evidenced by the

consistency in the specific gravity information.

Classification

The basis for the classification of the Mineral

Resources into varying confidence categories.

The classification is based on physical observation of

the mineral system at surface supported by consistently spaced drilling information at depths to

120m below surface. Shortcomings in down hole positional control have been offset by the amount of drilling data with supportable assay information. Higher confidence areas have more supporting data, areas of lower geological support reflect a lower classification.

Classification

Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).

The input data particularly in the first 100m from the surface is consistent and closely spaced enough to support the projection of the geological interpretation at depth which in terms of style of mineralisation is consistent with other deposits within the same geological setting. This is combined with the surface exposures of parts of the system. The more recent drilling programs have successfully infilled the previous programmes in terms of mineral positions predicted. The estimated grade correlates reasonably well with the input data given the nature of the mineralisation.

Classification

Whether the result appropriately reflects the

Competent Person's view of the deposit.

The Mineral Resource estimate reflects the

Competent Persons understanding of the Deposit.

Audits or reviews.

The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral

Resource estimates.

No external audit has been conducted on this mineral resource estimate.

Discussion of

relative accuracy/

confidence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.

The procedures have been adopted to quantify

relative accuracy as they are deemed unnecessary given the mineral resource is volume and sample constrained. The confidence in the mineral resource is defined by the classification adopted as per the guidelines of the 2012 JORC code.

Discussion of

relative accuracy/

confidence

The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.

The statement relates to global estimates of tonnes and grade.

Discussion of

relative accuracy/

confidence

These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.
