Chalice Mining Limited ('Chalice' or 'the Company', ASX: CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to announce that it has successfully closed the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) announced on 1 December 2020.

The SPP was strongly supported by eligible shareholders and was substantially oversubscribed, with the Company receiving over 2,300 applications totalling approximately $47 million at the issue price of $3.75, being the same issue price as the successful $100 million institutional placement completed on 8 December 2020.

Given the outstanding response to the SPP, Chalice's Board of Directors (Directors) has exercised its discretion under the terms of the SPP to increase the SPP offer to $15 million from the original $10 million targeted in recognition of the long-term support of its retail investors.

A total of 4 million new fully-paid ordinary shares (SPP Shares) will be issued, representing approximately 1.2% of Chalice's ordinary shares on issue.

The strong demand from eligible shareholders in the SPP has necessitated a scale-back of valid applications. The scaling has been determined having regard to the SPP Offer amount as a proportion of the total dollar value of valid applications.

Those eligible shareholders holding less than 124 shares (being a marketable parcel on the record date of 30 November 2020) will be allocated 135 shares. On a pro rata basis, all remaining eligible shareholders who submitted valid applications have been allocated approximately 34% of their application amount.

The SPP Shares are expected to be issued on Thursday, 21 January 2021 and commence trading on the ASX on Friday, 22 January 2021. Holding statements are expected to be dispatched on Friday, 22 January 2021.

Chalice's Managing Director, Alex Dorsch said: 'I would like to thank our shareholders for their overwhelming support. The demand for the SPP was incredibly strong, which is testament not only to the scale and quality of our discovery at Julimar, but also its potential to become a new world-class mineral province in Western Australia.

'In light of the strong response, the Board made the decision to upsize the SPP by 50%, after taking into consideration our capital requirements. The combined proceeds of the recent placement and this SPP will ensure Chalice remains financially strong well into the future, with the ability to rapidly advance Julimar to the feasibility stage.'
