Chalice Mining Limited reported a significant new discovery at its 100%-owned Julimar Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (PGE) Project, located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia. Forward plan: the company?s Julimar Project strategy is to concurrently advance studies for an initial mining development on private farmland and to define the full extent of mineralisation along the >26km long Julimar Complex. Ongoing and planned activities at Julimar include: Step-out drilling (farmland) ? Step-out diamond drilling on a nominal ~80m spacing is expected to continue until ~the first quarter of 2022, subject to results. Step-out drilling is targeting the extension of high-grade (>0.6 NiEq) zones. Infill drilling (farmland) ? The northern portion of the Gonneville Resource is currently classified as Inferred and additional infill drilling is targeting conversion of the shallow (<250m deep) portion into the higher-confidence Indicated category. Reconnaissance drilling at the Torres-Jansz and Baudin targets at the northern end of the Julimar Complex ? First-pass AC drilling on private farmland will commence in the coming weeks. Geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrogeological and infrastructure drilling (Gonneville) ? AC/RC/diamond drilling to support studies for Gonneville will commence once resource drilling is complete and will continue through the first quarter of 2022. Metallurgical testwork (Gonneville) ? ongoing testwork is now focused on optimisation of disseminated sulphide performance and continuing leach testwork on oxide composites. Investigation into further bulk concentrate enrichment alternatives has commenced for the disseminated sulphide mineralisation as part of the recent $2.9 million grant from the Australian Government's Co-operative Research Centre Projects (CRC-P) Program. Initial waste rock and tailings characterisation testwork continues. Studies (Gonneville) ? Work is underway to support studies for the project, which will assess potential mine development scenarios for the Gonneville Deposit. The company anticipates that a Scoping Study for the initial stage of development at Gonneville will be completed in the second quarter of 2022. Low-impact reconnaissance drilling at the Hartog-Baudin Targets within the Julimar State Forest ? First-pass low-impact drilling utilising small track-mounted diamond rigs is planned to commence immediately upon obtaining access and permitting approvals, which is expected shortly. A total of ~70 drill sites are planned across the ~10km strike length, with the ability to drill multiple angled holes at each site. No mechanised vegetation clearance is required to complete this first pass of drilling.
