CHAIRMANS ADDRESS

2014 Annual General Meeting

26th November 2014

Against the backdrop of another extremely challenging year for the resource sector, I am pleased to report that Chalice remains in an enviable position with cash of approximately $43 million, a well-credentialed team with the ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities, and a clear understanding of where we need to focus our efforts moving forward.
The company took the first steps in this regard in February, with the acquisition of the Cameron
Gold project in Ontario, Canada.
With NI43-101 and JORC 2012 Measured and Indicated Resources totaling 674,400 ounces grading over 2.09g/t from 10,058,000 tonnes and additional Inferred Resources of 591,300 ounces grading 2.61g/t from 7,046,000 tonnes, Cameron ticks all the right boxes for us in terms of being a robust resource in a safe jurisdiction, potentially amenable to a lower-cost open pit mining operation.
With an acquisition price of approximately $6.4 million, or just $6 per total resource ounce, and low holding costs, this was a sensible and realistic purchase with potential to generate significant value through providing good leverage in a higher gold price environment and/or by exploration success.
The purchase price was satisfied by shares which were in turn, distributed to the shareholders of the vendor, Coventry Resources.
As I noted in the 2014 Annual Report, the Cameron Project has given Chalice a natural focal point in Canada, where we are currently working to consolidate our position in and around Cameron as well as targeting additional high-potential opportunities in North America and elsewhere.
In this regard, we are continuing to follow up attractive exploration targets within Chalice's ground at Cameron and regional joint ventures. Since acquiring the project, we have increased our total ground position in the Cameron region by 38% from 174km2 to 239km2 and we are continuing efforts to grow our resource inventory to a level that would justify the development of a long-term gold business in this region.
Shareholders will be aware that our objective is to acquire additional advanced assets which would complement the Cameron Project and provide the ingredients to build a successful mining company.
In saying this, it should be noted we have adopted a disciplined approach to acquisitions and will not do something simply for "the sake of doing it".
Our principal focus in the acquisition area is on brownfields and advanced assets that are either close to production or already in production but require additional capital to realise their potential. We also look at projects that, while at an earlier stage, are located within attractive geological settings and offer high-potential returns from exploration for minimal upfront outlay.
I would say that, over the last 18 months Chalice has assessed, in varying degree, over 300 opportunities and has only put its stake in the ground so far at one, the Cameron Project.
One of our key challenges has not been the number of opportunities available or the price of the assets, but the scarcity of projects and assets capable of generating an attractive return for investors based on our internal assumptions and hurdles.
We will continue our efforts in this regard, and in doing so, maintain the vigorous discipline that we have applied in the past. We have also entered into a number of low-cost exploration ventures, and will continue to consider more of these opportunities in the future as they present themselves.
Earlier in the year, Chalice withdrew from its exploration joint venture in Eritrea to focus on the
Cameron Project and on securing other opportunities.
In conclusion, I would like to thank Bill Bent and Doug Jones, both of whom stepped down from the Board subsequent to the end of the financial year. Both gentlemen made significant and lasting contributions to the Company and we wish them both well for the future.
In addition to these changes, Tim Goyder moved from the role of Executive Chairman to Managing Director to drive the Company's growth strategy and we were pleased to secure the services of Gary Snow, a very experienced and well-credentialed mining executive, as Chief Operating Officer.
Last but not least, I wish to assure shareholders that we are managing the Company's funds in a prudent manner to preserve our privileged capital position, whilst ensuring that we are can act quickly on the right opportunity.
Thank you
Anthony Kiernan
Chairman
