Chalice’s East Cadillac Gold Project has a contiguous 16-kilometre strike length along the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault.
Chalice is currently compiling a 3D interpreted model of the Nordeau West deposit with the aim of evaluating potential extensions to the deposit.
The company is also planning to drill-test a combination of targets, including the down-plunge extension of the Nordeau West deposit
Chalice’s share price has increased by 13% since the start of 2017, last trading at A$0.17.
