Golden Chalice Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GCR) ("The Company") is pleased to
announce it has posted on SEDAR its recently completed NI 43-101 Mineral
Resource Evaluation Report for the W4 deposit at its Langmuir Nickel Project.
The report can be found by through SEDAR's website located at www.SEDAR.com. The
report was completed by SRK Consulting Inc. of Toronto, Ontario.
EXCERPT FROM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
"The characteristics of Langmuir W4 are of sufficient merit to justify
undertaking preliminary engineering, environmental and metallurgical studies
aimed at completing the characterization of the nickel sulphide mineralization.
This would provide a snapshot assessment of the current information base at
Langmuir W4, which can provide economic guidelines for future exploration
strategies within the Langmuir Property.
The geological setting and character of the nickel sulphide mineralization
delineated to date on Langmuir W4 are of sufficient merit to justify additional
exploration and development expenditures."
"The W4 deposit represents the highest grade nickel deposit that is amenable to
open pit mining methods in the immediate area and it is the Company's full
intention to capitalize on this advantage given current metal prices," stated
Company President, Steve de Jong. "The completion of the Resource Estimate is a
major hurdle for the Company as we begin to assess the development potential of
the W4 deposit. It is encouraging to see SRK's recommendations involve
metallurgical and environmental testing and that the W4 deposit is of sufficient
merit to justify development expenditures."
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REPORT INCLUDE:
-- an Indicated mineral resource of 677,000 tonnes at an average grade of
1.00% nickel and an additional 171,000 tonnes at an average grade of
0.89% nickel in the Inferred category, the majority of which is amenable
to open-pit mining methods.
-- SRK notes that these mineral resources occupy only a small footprint of
the larger Golden Chalice controlled Langmuir Property
The Company has also received from SRK a conceptual open pit shell from which
the 'Open Pit' portion of the resource estimate was estimated (page 65 of
Report). To view a 3D image of the conceptual open pit shell click on the

(i) Mineral resources are reported in relation to optimized pit shells.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative
accuracy of the estimate. All assays have been capped where
appropriate.
(ii) Open pit mineral resources are reported at a cut-off of 0.40 percent
nickel inside a conceptual pit shell. Underground mineral resources are
reported at 0.70 percent nickel and include resource blocks above
cut-off outside the conceptual pit shell. Cut-off grades are based on a
nickel price of US$8 per pound and a metallurgical recovery of
eighty-seven percent, without considering revenues from other metals.

ABOUT GOLDEN CHALICE
On May 19, 2010, the Company announced it had completed a NI 43-101 resource
estimate for its flagship Langmuir Nickel Project where 2007 drilling
intersected 72 meters of 1.14% nickel. The Langmuir Project is easily accessible
by road and is near existing mining infrastructure in the Timmins camp, host to
numerous world-class gold and base metal deposits. The Company owns 100% of the
property which covers more than 30 km of favorable stratigraphy with potential
for hosting Kambalda-style deposits.
