PERTH, Australia, July 27, 2018 /CNW/ - Chalice Gold Mines Limited (ASX: CHN, TSX: CXN) ("Chalice" or the "Company") advises that its Quarterly Activity and Cash Flow Reports for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 have been issued today. The full text of these reports are available at the Company's website www.chalicegold.com and under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

Quarterly Highlights:

• Three Australian Projects to be drilled in Q3 2018 and a large scale field program underway in Canada
  
  
• Two extensive and coherent 12km long gold-in-soil anomalies, identified and validated at the 100%-owned ~3,080km² Pyramid Hill Gold Project in the Bendigo Region of Victoria:
  
  
• Anomalies overlie major regional faults which are an important control on the multi-million ounce gold deposits located along strike, such as Bendigo, Ballarat and Castlemaine
  
  
• Chalice's tenure in the area now covers ~70km of strike along each of these faults
  
  
• The anomalies are located within ~30km of the 22Moz Bendigo Goldfield
  
  
• Ground gravity and additional soil geochemistry programs will commence immediately to expand and refine the targets for initial air-core drilling in October 2018, subject to approvals
  
  
• Multiple new prospective, large-scale targets identified from recent structural re-interpretation at the East Cadillac Gold Project, in Quebec, Canada:
  
  
• Field program underway to extend coverage of surface geochemistry and geophysics, and to explore new large-scale targets
  
  
• Program includes refinement of the geological understanding of recent gold discoveries at North Contact and Lac Rapides, where wide mineralised zones were intersected which remain open along strike and down-dip
  
  
• Project area increased by ~100km² (~68%) immediately east and contiguous with the original project boundary, increasing the strike coverage along the Larder Lake – Cadillac Fault to 27km
  
  
• Large, highly prospective iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) Emu Target, identified on 100%-owned tenure at Warrego North Copper-Gold Project in the Northern Territory – drilling scheduled for early August 2018
  
  
• 4,850m first pass air-core drilling program completed at two prospects within the Yilgarn Gold Project, with assay results expected in mid-August
  
  
• Two new prospective vanadium and nickel exploration projects secured at Flinders River (Queensland) and Julimar (WA), giving Chalice exposure to rapidly growing commodity sectors where the Company sees exceptional growth potential
  
  
• Strong cash and liquid investments balance of A$38.3 million (~14.5c per share) at quarter-end, allowing Chalice to progress exploration activities across the portfolio at scale
