Forward Looking Statements
This document may contain forward-looking information within the meaning
of Canadian securities legislation and forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and
Chalice Gold Mines Limited (the Company) does not intend, and does not
assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements,
except as required by law or regulation.

Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance
and reflect Company management’s expectations or beliefs regarding
future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with
respect to whether the conditions to the Coventry transaction will be
met, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the
realisation of mineral reserve estimates, the likelihood of exploration
success, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of
production, capital expenditures, success of mining operations,
environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes
or claims and limitations on insurance coverage.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the
use of words such as plans, expects or does not expect, is expected,
budget, scheduled, estimates, forecasts, intends, anticipates or does
not anticipate, or believes, or variations of such words and phrases or
statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, would,
might or will be taken, occur or be achieved or the negative of these
terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of the Company to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, among others, conditions precedent
to completion of the Coventry transaction being met; risks related to
actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of mineral
resources; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery
rates; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining
industry, as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the
Company’s interim and annual financial statements, all of which are
filed and available for review on SEDAR at sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from
those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking
statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements.

Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.

None of the securities anticipated to be issued pursuant to the
Arrangement have been or will be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws, and any securities issued in the Arrangement are
anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from
such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable exemptions under state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
