Palladium price ran from ~US$1,000/oz to ~US$3,000/oz in 2 ½ years last cycle after 9 consecutive years of supply deficits,

with US government now confirming that Russia dumped in 2023 and had material adverse affect on price

ASX:CHN 10



~9Moz pa palladium market is in the spotlight, with new tariffs on world's

largest producer Russia and hybrid vehicle demand outpacing supply

133% US tariff on Russian palladium - instant western premium

US$12bn EXIM 'Project Vault'

strategic reserve established

Strong demand growth from hybrids and AI / data centres

~90% from deep, aging Russian and South African mines - production shrinking and costs escalating rapidly

  • In 2025 US Dept of Commerce confirmed that Russia has been dumping palladium on US markets since 2022 (invasion of Ukraine) - Russia produces ~40% of global supply

  • New 133% anti-dumping duty1 effective now, instantly incentivising non-Russian supply

  • New US strategic mineral reserve announced in Feb 2026 - includes Pd, Pt, Ni, Co (all critical minerals)

  • Likely to support prices but also unlocks funding support for Gonneville

  • Trump policy settings and wind down of BEV incentives supportive of hybrid vehicles

    (which require a palladium based catalytic converter)

  • ~8Moz pa of gold used in electronics - palladium an attractive, cheaper substitute for ceramic capacitors and connector plating

  • Nornickel investing US$100M in new demand sources, outlining 1.7Moz pa of new demand potential by 2030 from glass, electrochemistry, solar energy, microelectronics and battery technologies2

  • Largest producers Norilsk and Valterra production guidance down c. 10% in 2026

  • Limited development projects, producers signalling need for sustained >US$2,000/oz prices to invest in growth

  • Mines susceptible to supply disruptions and constraints (Russian permafrost melt, South African labour disputes, power grid instability and thermal mine depth limits)

~50% of the Resource unmined below the PFS pit and the Resource

remains open down-dip - future growth and upside is likely

PFS assumes initial 23yrs of open-pit mining

~7.9Moz 3E, 450kt Ni, 250kt Cu, 46kt Co contained in Resource below PFS pit shell

Deepest intersections to date - host intrusion ~600m thick and open

significant upside through deeper open-pit mining or eventual transition to large-scale underground

1. Refer to full Mineral Resource Statement in Appendix

ASX:CHN 13



Strong inbound interest from a wide range of low-cost critical minerals

funding options since release of the PFS

Funding options for pre-production CapEx of A$820M

Export credit agencies, sovereign debt, grants







High priority -



lowest cost

  • Funding strategy currently focussed on sovereign/govt

    sources - with very strong inbound interest to date

  • Initial advice indicates up to 60-70% of pre-production CapEx could be funded with debt, given strong margins through-the-cycle

  • Provides significant opportunity to reduce overall cost of capital

  • Potential for government grants

    Near term priority for byproducts

    Lower priority

    Offtake pre-pay, minor metal streams, royalties, etc Commercial banks, debt funds, hybrid finance, etc
  • Secondary funding options are extensive

  • Cu, Ni concentrate markets are tight and very competitive - offtake pre-pays under consideration

  • Royalty Co's and debt funds have very strong balance

    sheets - looking to deploy into rapidly rising markets

  • Commercial banks increasingly active in critical minerals projects in safe jurisdictions

    ASX:CHN 14



    The Project has been substantially de-risked by Chalice since our discovery in 2020, with an investment of ~$250M to date

    Resource

    Drilled out to Indicated category to depth of ~450m, Inferred Resources continue to depth of 1,100m - exceptional orebody knowledge of grade/mineralogy/metallurgy definition



    Tenure / Land

    Acquired 2,600ha of farmland surrounding the Resource, providing sufficient land for infrastructure and initial offsets, significantly de-risking the Project



    Process Flowsheet

    Simple flotation and leach circuits to produce saleable smelter concentrates and doré - major breakthroughs in 2024-2025 that simplify and enhance the project



    Infrastructure

    Water-power solutions and corridors defined - investigating multi-user infrastructure solutions with government support for mutual benefit





    PFS Two-stage, initial 23-year bulk open-pit mine with simplified process flowsheet and significant upside

    Offtake

    High levels of interest from smelters - commercial discussions including potential linked project finance ongoing (sufficient de-risking in PFS to support transaction)

    ongoing

    Approvals

    Referred Project in early 2024, Strategic and Major Project Status awarded, strong level of local community support -

    environmental modelling underway to support ERD submissions in H2 CY26

    ongoing

    Feasibility Study

    Stage 1 FS underway including 8 week lab scale pilot of full flowsheet in H2 2026 and engineering to support bankable cost assumptions - c. $25M estimate to complete by H2 CY27

    ongoing

    Financing

    Debt financing strategy focussed on export credit agencies and offtake linked finance - initial feedback very positive, margins expected to underpin significant, low-cost debt funding from a wide range of options

    ongoing

    FID

    Targeted in H1 CY28 (governed primarily by approvals timeline)

    1. Study, approvals and development timeline is indicative only and subject to change dependent on PFS delivery in CY25

    Beyond Gonneville, Chalice has defined >40 Cu-Au-Ag and Ni-Cu-PGE

    targets in the West Yilgarn Province plus has new Cu-Au targets in SA/NT



    Bangemall

    Narryer

    Barrabarra

    Kings

    Northam JV

    Julimar

    Voyager

    South West



    Why we like it

    • ~1,200km long western margin of the Yilgarn craton largely unexplored, due to lack of outcrop and prevalence of large-scale farming

    • Exciting new search space for intrusion-related / orogenic gold/copper/silver and orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, akin to:

      • Gonneville (~17Moz PGM-Au, 1Mt Ni, 0.5Mt Cu)

      • Boddington (~30Moz Au, 1.3Mt Cu)

    • Prior to Gonneville discovery, region largely mapped as barren granite-gneiss geology - now shown to host several thousand square kilometers of prospective, untested greenstone belt

      Work to date

    • Chalice commenced exploring systematically in 2021 and has defined >40 new target areas at varying levels of maturity

      Next Steps

    • New Cu-Mo-Ag target (Deep Blue) to be drilled at Northam JV in WA in Q2

    • 3 new IOCG targets to be drilled at new Callabonna JV in SA in Q3

    • 4 new IOCG targets to be drilled at Warrego North Project in NT in Q3

ASX:CHN 16



Deep Blue is an emerging Cu-Mo system 15km along strike from the

~3Mt Caravel Copper deposit



Why we like it

  • New ~2.5km long, strong, coherent Cu-Mo-Ag soil anomaly

  • 15km SE along strike of the Caravel Copper Resource (3Mt Cu contained, owned by Caravel Minerals ASX: CVV) - at PFS stage

  • Elevated Ce and La in soils associated with Cu anomalism, suggesting a fertile, mineralised intrusive system

  • Interpreted as a large-scale hydrothermal system

    with potential for porphyry-style mineralisation

    Work to date

  • Soil and rock chip sampling (rock chip assays pending)

  • Land access secured for immediate drilling

    Next steps

  • Ground gravity surveys to define intrusive architecture and drill targets

  • Targeted RC drilling in Q2



Deep Blue Target soil sampling results over satellite image.

ASX:CHN 17



New Callabona earn-in to test several new IOCG targets in the Curnamona Province in South Australia

Why we like it

  • Underexplored IOCG corridor in the Curnamona Province, favourable geology and structural setting

  • Multiple large-scale (2-5km) magnetic and gravity anomalies consistent with IOCG systems

  • Drilling shows IOCG-style alteration, likely distal to system

  • Key gravity anomalies untested and drill-ready

  • Strong fit with Chalice's geophysics-led exploration approach

  • Targets at explorable depths (~400-750m)

    Work to date

  • Detailed geophysical targeting completed

  • Historical drilling confirms prospective IOCG geology

  • Previous drilling did not test core targets

    Next steps
