Chalice Mining Limited (ASX: CHN; Chalice) is pleased to introduce Falcon Metals Limited (ASX: FAL; Falcon), a soon to be ASX-listed gold exploration company led by a highly decorated board and management team.
The demerger aims to spin-off key gold assets to Falcon via an in-specie distribution to eligible Chalice shareholders and concurrent Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Following the planned demerger, Falcon will have the largest exploration licence holding (>5,000km2) of any company in the Bendigo Zone of Victoria, a region which hosts the world-class Fosterville Gold Mine (>8Moz Au)1 and historic Bendigo Goldfield (>22Moz Au)2.
Falcon’s portfolio will be further enhanced by two other early-stage but highly prospective gold projects in Western Australia, the Viking Project and the Mt Jackson Project.
Chalice has secured a high-calibre and experienced team with a proven track record in making major discoveries and delivering exceptional returns to shareholders. The Falcon team will be led by Dr Mark Bennett as Non-Executive Chair and Tim Markwell as Managing Director, who collectively bring a significant amount of technical knowledge, strong commercial acumen and corporate leadership skills.
