The latest from Chalice Mining
Last Monday, Chalice Mining announced it will be demerging its gold assets into a new ASX-listed company.
The soon-to-be company will own Chalice Mining’s Pyramid Hill Gold Project and its 70% interest in the Viking Project.
Chalice Mining also announced assay results from Pyramid Hill, potentially exciting market watchers who were already planning to get in on Chalice’s spin off’s Initial Public Offering (IPO).
While the Chalice Mining share price flopped during intraday trade last Monday, it recovered to end the session 1.09% higher than the previous session.
