The Gonneville PGM-Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project
A critical minerals mine development, located on Chalice-owned farmland approximately 70km north-east of Perth in the Wheatbelt region. The project hosts a deposit of critical minerals essential for technologies that will help address climate change.
Our major greenfield discovery in early 2020, the Gonneville PGM-Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Western Australia, is the largest undeveloped PGM-nickel-copper-cobalt project in the western world.
The 100%-owned Gonneville PGM-Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project has a tier-1 scale Resource containing approximately 17 million ounces of platinum group metals (PGMs), 960 thousand tonnes of nickel, 540 thousand tonnes of copper and 96 thousand tonnes of cobalt, making it the largest PGM discovery in Australian history.

About Gonneville
-
The 100%-owned Gonneville PGM-Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project is a new, province-defining Pd-Ni-Cu discovery in Western Australia, the world’s premier mining jurisdiction.
Metals we will produce
The Gonneville mine will produce a rare mix of critical and strategic minerals such as palladium, platinum, nickel, copper and cobalt, which are vital inputs into the auto sector (electric, hybrid and internal combustion engine
vehicles), the defence sector (high performance materials and electronics), data centres (semiconductors
and electrical components), as well as many rapidly growing decarbonisation applications. Large-scale resources like Gonneville are very rare and therefore have high strategic value, given the dominance of Russia, South Africa and Indoneisa in PGM and nickel production.
