• The agreement has a minimum expenditure commitment of C$0.5M within 12 months and the Company can earn its equity by spending C$4M within three years.

Tim Goyder, managing director at Chalice, commented:

The Croteau Est Project offers a unique combination of great location, with the potential to establish a resource quickly, walk-up drill targets and a great operating environment. This is a high quality, advanced exploration play – not a conceptual or greenfields project – and has clear potential to deliver a resource in the near term. We are looking forward to commencing exploration activities as soon as possible to unlock this potential.
