Key Terms

Chantrell is party to an arrangement agreement dated May 14, 2019 (the "Arrangement Resolution") between Chantrell and Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko Mining"), pursuant to which, among other things, Chantrell will acquire certain non-core assets of Osisko Mining in exchange for common shares of Chantrell ("Shares") by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement will result in the reverse takeover of Chantrell by Osisko Mining, following which the Corporation will be renamed "O3 Mining Inc." (the "Resulting Issuer") and reorganized as part of the Arrangement. The Arrangement was approved by Chantrell shareholders on June 28, 2019. Completion of the Arrangement is a condition precedent to completion of the SPA with Chalice.

Under the SPA, Chalice will sell all outstanding shares in its wholly owned subsidiary CGMQ, to the Resulting Issuer. Chalice will receive 3,092,784 common shares of the Resulting Issuer, at a deemed value of C$3.88 per common share, for a total of C$12 million in consideration.

In accordance with the restrictions under Canadian securities laws and subject to certain exceptions, Chalice will be restricted from trading these shares for a period of four months from the date of issuance.

Following closing of the transaction, Chalice will retain a 1.0% NSR royalty on all 100% owned claims on both projects that are not subject to a pre-existing royalty. CGMQ currently has approximately C$1.3 million in tax credits and, under the SPA, the Resulting Issuer will reimburse Chalice any amounts received, provided that such amounts are received from Canadian tax authorities during an agreed post-closing period.

Closing is subject to a number of conditions, and approvals, including, among other things, any required approval of Chalice shareholders, and completion of the Arrangement. Closing is anticipated to occur in early Q3 2019.
