Let’s take a deep dive into what’s been moving the Chalice Mining share price lately.
Chalice Mining’s Mad March
For a month of impressive share price gains, the mining company, which has 11 projects across Australia underway, was curiously quiet throughout most of it.
While not much news came out of the company early in the month, it was caught up in the S&P/ASX 300 quarterly rebalance. On 12 March it was announced the miner had been added to the index, effective 22 March.
On 25 March, the company announced two pieces of news.
First, it announced favourable results of a A first-pass ground moving loop electromagnetic survey at its 100%-owned Julimar Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (PGE) Project.
The survey found a cluster of 29 low to moderate conductance in a new area of the Project. Signalling the potential of nickel, copper, and platinum.
Next, it announced a mine in which Chalice Mining has an earn-in agreement with had had its tenement granted.
An earn-in agreement is one where one mining company agrees to mine a site owned by another company. Both companies then receive a part of any proceeds from the activity.
In this case, the mine is owned by Metal Hawk Limited (ASX: MHK) and Chalice’s subsidiary CGM Pty Ltd would be charged with the activities.
Since these two announcements, the Chalice Mining share price has rocketed 34%.
Whether the Chalice Mining share price has the energy to continue its upwards power is still to be seen. Though, shareholders who bought in early March must be grinning from the win.
