About ChaliceChalice is a leading ASX-listed exploration specialist located in West Perth with an unrivalled portfolio of district-scale, precious and base metals projects across Australia.

In addition, Chalice holds several other generative exploration opportunities across WA, NT and SA.
Gonneville Palladium-Nickel-Copper ProjectThe Gonneville Resource contains a unique blend of critical minerals essential for decarbonisation and urbanisation, including palladium, platinum, nickel, copper and cobalt.
Due to its strategic importance, the discovery has recently been approved as a "Strategic Project" by the Western Australian State Government and granted "Major Project Status" by the Australian Federal Government.
It is Australia's first major palladium discovery located less than 90 minutes' drive from the Perth CBD, Gonneville offers truly unique and convenient access to site.

Experience with drill hole database management systems, including Datashed 5 and/or Geobank
Exposure to Micromine and/or Leapfrog for 3D geological modelling and data visualisation
A broad, business-wide view of data — you think about information flows across the organisation, not just within a single system
