Chalice Diamond Corp. - Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, BC - CHALICE DIAMOND CORP. (TSX-V: COD) (the "Company") announces it will be consolidating its shares on a ten for one basis, which will result in a total issued and outstanding base of 10,989,152 shares.


Chalice Diamond Corp. was originally formed to explore and advance a large land package in the prolific Chapleau-Wawa diamond district of Ontario. Since exploration by the Company began, a number of diamond discoveries have been made which have not received sufficient follow-up work due to limited exploration funds. The Company's new share structure will enable it to raise funds to advance its Wawa area projects without excessive dilution.

The Board of Directors (the "Board") has unanimously approved a consolidation of its share capital on the basis of one (1) new common share for up to every existing ten (10) common shares (the "Consolidation"), subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company and regulatory approval. Where the exchange results in a fractional share, the number of common shares will be rounded to the nearest whole common share. The Board believes that the Consolidation will enhance the marketability of the common share as an investment and should facilitate additional financings to fund future operations. Shareholder approval of the proposed Consolidation will be sought at the Company's upcoming Special Meeting of shareholders to be held on October 18, 2010. The record date for the proposed Consolidation will be set subsequent to both the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals being obtained. The Company currently has a total of 109,891,518 common shares issued and outstanding and no preferred shares. In the event the required shareholder and regulatory approvals are obtained and the Company effects the full one (1) new common share for every existing ten (10) common shares Consolidation, the Company would have a total 10,989,152 common shares issued and outstanding.

Chalice Diamond Corp. 2010 Exploration Plans: Follow-up on 8.4 kg Grab Sample Yielding 35 Diamonds Including 5 Macrodiamonds

  • FOLLOW-UP WORK TO BE COMPLETED AT CORBIERE WHERE AN 8.4 KG GRAB SAMPLE YIELDED 35 DIAMONDS INCLUDING FIVE MACRODIAMONDS AND ONE DIAMOND MEASURING 0.86 MM
  • DRILL PROGRAM PLANNED FOR REID VEIN ON OLD CABIN PROPERTY WHERE GRAB SAMPLES HAVE RETURNED GOLD AS HIGH AS 211.82 G/T
  • POTENTIAL JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS CURRENTLY REVIEWING DATA ON THE BIRD PROPERTY, PLANNING FOR SECOND PHASE OF EXPLORATION UNDERWAY
VANCOUVER, BC -- Chalice Diamond Corp. (TSX-V:COD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce 2010 Exploration Plans for its Wawa-Chapleau properties. To view a map and summary of the Company's Chapleau-Wawa properties please click on follow-link:

http://www.brmstatpack.com/lt/1001/1022/chapleau-wawa

The Company will continue with its present assessment of the Chapleau-Wawa land package as a whole, on the basis of defining attractive diamond targets. The past three years have seen an extensive amount of exploration work and accumulation of data from till sampling, geophysical ground surveys, regional airborne VTEM surveys and prospecting. This has enabled the Company to compile regional trends and identify attractive kimberlite pipe targets. Targets are in the process of being compiled and defined based on attractive down ice kimberlite indicator mineral trains coupled with significant VTEM conductors and attractive ground magnetic signatures. The Company is also exploring the possibility of using soil gas hydrocarbon soil (SGH) analyses to further augment the targeting process.

Initial 2010 diamond exploration will focus on the Corbiere Township claims where an 8.4 kilogram grab sample yielded 35 microdiamonds including 5 macros (see news release April 18, 2007) within diamond bearing conglomerates similar to the rocks discovered on Dianor Resources Inc.'s Leadbetter property to the southwest. Drill testing of this favourable belt of conglomerates is being considered.

A number of diamond-bearing kimberlite dykes, such as the GCR and Fletch Dykes, have already been discovered and grab samples from them have produced microdiamonds. The Company plans to drill test these dykes later in the year.

On the Old Cabin gold project, the Company drill plans are currently being developed for the Reid vein where a grab sample yielded 211 g/t Au. Current plans are to start with a short hole underneath the Reid Vein to test the possibility of a vein system dipping and plunging to depth.

Data compiled from the most recent drill program on the Bird project, which contains an extensive 6 km by 1.5 km reverse magnetic anomaly, is currently being evaluated. The Company is encouraged by the results thus far which have provided a better understanding of the geology of the reverse polarity anomaly, allowing for the expansion of the direction of geological targeting to include hydrothermal iron-oxide copper-gold ( IOCG) as well as deep seated magmatic nickel copper deposits.

The Company will continue to explore its significant land package utilizing a broad exploration strategy that will encompass diamond, gold, and base metal targets.

Peter Caldbick, P.Geo. has reviewed and approved the press release. Mr. Caldbick is the qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 for the Company's Wawa project.

The Company would also like to announce two directors have been added to the Board. John de Jong has been appointed a director of Chalice Diamond Corp. effective December 29, 2009. Mr. de Jong has an extensive background in management, organizational protocols and project development which will serve the company well. He is the general manager of operations for Klondike Silver Corp in British Columbia and Yukon including Klondike Silver Corp's mining and milling operation at Sandon, BC. He is also a director of Abitibi Mining Corp., Amador Gold Corp., Golden Chalice Resources Inc., Klondike Gold Corp., Klondike Silver Corp., Sedex Mining Corp. and Zinccorp Resources Inc.

Darcy Hughes has also been appointed a director of Chalice Diamond Corp. effective December 29, 2009. Mr. Hughes has been involved with mineral exploration since 1983 and has served on the boards of various publicly traded companies in the mining and petroleum exploration fields, as well as private mining and manufacturing companies. He is the VP Corporate Admin and owner of Pro CNC, a manufacturing business in Bellingham, Washington, and is a director of the following Hughes Exploration Group publicly traded mining companies; Abitibi Mining Corp., Amador Gold Corp., Chalice Diamond Corp., Golden Chalice Resources Inc., Klondike Gold Corp., Klondike Silver Corp. and Sedex Minerals Corp.

The Company also announces the resignation of John Keating as President, CEO and director effective January 22, 2010.
