About Chalice

Chalice 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.

Gonneville Palladium-Nickel-Copper Project

In March 2020, Chalice made a globally significant, high-grade Platinum Group Metal–Nickel–Copper (PGE-Ni-Cu) discovery at the Gonneville Project, located approximately 70km north-east of Perth.

The 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 and has opened up a new, previously unexplored mineral province the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province in Western Australia. Located less than 90 minutes’ drive from the Perth CBD, Gonneville offers truly unique and convenient access to site.

Join the Chalice team

The impact of this globally significant discovery has been profound for Chalice, cementing its reputation as one of the most exciting and cutting-edge explorers in Australia. Now is the time to join this team as the Company transitions from explorer to developer.
