Chalice subscribes to A$1M share placement in, & sell its Dumbleyung Project to, Ausgold Limited

06.06.2017  |  CNW
PERTH, June 6, 2017 - Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. ("Chalice" or the "Company") (ASX: CHN) (TSX: CXN) today announced that it has agreed to subscribe to a share placement of 40 million shares in ASX listed Ausgold Limited (ASX: AUC) ("Ausgold") at an issue price of A$0.025 per share for a total of A$1.0 million ("the Placement"). The funds will predominantly be used to advance Ausgold's flagship Katanning Gold Project in Western Australia.

In addition to the Placement, Chalice has agreed to sell its Dumbleyung Project, which is located adjacent to the Katanning Gold Project, to Ausgold for 15 million shares (subject to a 12-month escrow) and 10 million unlisted share options that are exercisable at A$0.035 per share within a 2-year period. The issue of the consideration shares and options to Chalice is subject to Ausgold shareholder approval. Ausgold directors have agreed to (1) recommend the transaction to shareholders and (2) vote all of the shares they hold or control in favour of all necessary resolutions in relation to the transaction.  Chalice will also retain a 2 percent NSR over the Dumbleyung Project.

Following completion of the Placement and the issue of the Dumbleyung consideration shares and options, Chalice will hold a 12% interest in Ausgold (increasing to a 14% interest in the event that the consideration options are exercised).

Ausgold's Katanning Gold Project is located 275km southeast of Perth, Western Australia where Ausgold holds a dominant ground position of approximately 4,031km2 in a relatively under-explored greenstone belt that is prospective for Archaean gold deposits. In 2015, Ausgold announced a mineral resource for the Katanning Gold Project (http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=01674505).

Managing Director Tim Goyder said the Placement and tenement sale provides Chalice with exposure to a relatively advanced, low-risk open-pit gold project in Western Australia.

"We look forward to Ausgold advancing the Katanning Project where we see potential to increase the existing mineral resource. Given the rarity of undeveloped gold projects in Western Australia, Ausgold's large tenement package and the current strong A$ gold price of ~A$1720 per oz, we believe there is potential for considerable upside."
