A S X : C H N

Why Chalice? Our 100% owned Gonneville Project is the largest palladium-nickel-copperdevelopment project in the western world

Tier 1 scale Resource in Western Australia

100% ownership of one of the largest undeveloped PGE-Ni-Cu-Co (critical minerals) resource in the western world

17Moz of Pd-Pt-Au (3E), 960kt Ni, 540kt Cu, 96kt Co contained

in Resource, starting at surface1

Compelling value and leverage

  • Predicted to become the lowest cost PGE mine in the western world (after Ni-Cu-Co credits) - a unique and competitive asset
  • High leverage to Pd, Ni price recovery from cyclical lows

Strong financial position

~A$107M in cash and listed investments and no debt2 - no need to raise capital in foreseeable future

  • Pre-FeasibilityStudy and strategic partnering process for Gonneville Project underway in parallel

Significant exploration upside

  • >9,600km2 licence area in West Yilgarn being explored for first time by proven and globally recognised team
  • Strategic investments in two frontier explorers in WA
  1. 660Mt @ 0.79g/t Pd+Pt+Au (3E), 0.15% Ni, 0.083% Cu, 0.015% Co (refer to the Mineral Resources Estimate contained in Appendix for tonnes and grades by confidence category)
  2. Includes ~$2.7M in listed Investments at 31 March 2024

Why palladium? Strong future demand for palladium driven by hybrid EV sales outgrowing battery EV sales

Key driver of palladium demand is sales of plug-in

hybrid electric (PHEV) and ICE vehicles

~85% of demand from catalytic converters

Battery Electric (BEV) v Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicle sales growth in China, rebased to Mar-23

~10% of demand from hydrogenation

Major car manufacturers, such as Toyota, Ford and

Hyundai, are scaling up PHEV production to meet

growing demand

Why palladium? Supply is concentrated in Russia and South Africa - supply risks are high, disruptions are common and recycling is subdued

  • Palladium production is dominated by ageing, deep, under-invested mines in Russia and South Africa
  • Western mines are rapidly becoming uneconomic and are being shut, making supply concentration worse
  • Weak prices and lack of investment resulting in recycling volumes trending down rapidly

PGE prices are deep into the cost curve and unsustainable - given strength of demand, pricing could revert to incentive levels in near term

Gonneville Project

Project update and priorities

Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co Project Overview

A new long-life,low-cost,low-carboncritical minerals project in Western Australia

A globally significant magmatic sulphide Resource ~70km from Perth

~17Moz of Pd-Pt-Au (3E), 960kt Ni, 540kt Cu, 96kt Co1 contained - deposit remains open at depth

  • Located on ~22km2 of Chalice-ownedfarmland - de-risks approvals

Predicted to be lowest cost PGE producer in the western world

  • 2023 Scoping Study predicted by-product credits) - firmly 2nd

US$160/oz 3E cash costs (after Ni-Cu-Co quartile on the PGE industry cost curve

  • Investigating high-grade, staged open-pit / underground starter cases in the initial phase of the Pre-FeasibilityStudy due in mid CY25
  • Regulatory approvals process to commenced in Q1 2024 - FID targeted for late CY26

Strategic partnering process ongoing:

  • Positive progress made and active discussions ongoing2
  1. For tonnes and grades by confidence category and metal equivalent assumptions, refer to the Mineral Resources Statement in Appendix.
  2. Discussions with potential partners are preliminary in nature, there is no assurance that the strategic partnering process will result in a transaction.

  • 59Mt @ 2.0g/t 3E (Pd+Pt+Au), 0.20% Ni, 0.21% Cu, 0.019% Co
  • 3.8Moz 3E, 120kt Ni, 120kt Cu and 11kt Co contained
  • Open at depth

Mineral Resource Estimate1:

  • 660Mt @ 0.79g/t 3E (Pd+Pt+Au), 0.15% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.015% Co
  • 17Moz 3E, 960kt Ni, 540kt Cu and 96kt Co contained

Recovery increases with grade - optimisations continuing to determine starter cut-off and project scale
