What Is Chalice Mining's Investment Narrative?

To own Chalice Mining, you really have to believe in the long-term potential of the Gonneville project and the team’s ability to turn a zero-revenue explorer with A$24.2 million in annual losses into a viable operation. The key near term catalysts still sit around project studies, funding options and any renewed corporate interest, which the recent bounce in the share price suggests the market is watching closely. Against that backdrop, the audit committee compliance issue looks more like a governance clean up than a thesis-changing event. By swiftly moving to an independent chair in Garret Dixon, Chalice has reduced one governance risk without altering the core financial and project risks, such as ongoing cash burn, forecast lack of profitability and recent insider selling.
