Quarterly Highlights:

• Early stage drilling intersects high-grade gold within broader zones of lower-grade mineralisation at the East Cadillac Project in Quebec, Canada, confirming that the '5N' and '5M' structures have pronounced gold endowment.
• High quality airborne magnetic-electromagnetic survey flown in April at the East Cadillac Project with data currently being processed to allow targeting of high priority structural positions.
• Chalice expanded its ground-holding at the East Cadillac Project by staking contiguous claims south of the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault, ~35km east of the >20 million oz Val d'Or gold camp.
• Preparation continues for an active 2017 field and drilling campaign at Warrego North (NT), Latitude Hill (WA), East Cadillac (Quebec), and West Pilbara (WA) projects within the next 3-4 months.
• At the West Pilbara Project, a total of 130 rock-chip samples were taken across 9 prospects.  Some samples show strong surficial copper mineralisation consisting of malachite, chalcopyrite and chalcocite in hydrothermal breccia zones.  Assay results are expected to be received over the next two weeks.
• During the Quarter, Chalice sold 8.9 million shares in First Mining Finance for gross revenue of A$8.3 million.
