Additional targets defined at Parkes Project
• Adavale geological team has completed a further site visit to the Parkes Project.
• Consultant Geologist, Barry Willott, led the site visit with a primary focus on:
o
Initial reconnaissance at additional prospects Parkvale South and the Welcome Areas
on No Mistake (EL8830) as well as follow up at Blackridge North on Front Gate (EL8830)
o
25 rock chip samples taken across the 3 location areas (Figure 1) as well as targeted
geological mapping.
• The Company remains on track to conduct its maiden drilling in Q2 CY2025.
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) (“Adavale” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an
update on the Company’s activity at the Parkes Project following a recent site visit from 11th – 16th
of April 2025.
Barry Willott, Adavale’s consultant geologist with significant experience in the Lachlan Fold Belt
region, recently returned from a field visit to site, marking the 5th field campaign to the Parkes
Project since the completion of the acquisition on 28 January 20251.
The site visit consisted of initial reconnaissance at additional prospects at Parkvale South and the
Welcome areas on No Mistake (EL8830) as well as testing for a possible continuation of the
Blackridge gold and copper trend at Blackridge North on Front Gate (EL8830). A total of 25 rock
chip samples were taken across the 3 location areas (see figure 1). Targeted geological mapping
was also completed.
The site visit contributed to the Company’s multi-phase exploration strategy, targeting high-grade
gold and copper mineralisation across multiple prospects in the region, including the historic
London-Victoria Gold Mine.
Adavale Resources Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr Allan Ritchie, commented:
“We have been extremely busy following the transformational acquisition of the Parkes Project in
January. Early-stage fieldwork at the Ashes and Myalls Prospects has already delivered encouraging
results, and we are progressing toward a maiden drilling program to take place this quarter.
This month, we completed work at additional prospects at Parkvale South and the Welcome areas as
well as at Blackridge North. We are very pleased with the recent appointment of Mr David Ward to the
Board, strengthening the technical leadership focus on the Lachlan Fold Belt as we move toward resource
definition at London-Victoria and advancing our Parkes Project.”

Next Steps at the Parkes Project
Multiple ongoing exploration efforts continue to take place at the Parkes Project simultaneously,
with key projects and milestones including:
•
Geochemical Results Pending:
o
279 grid-based soil and 19 rock chips from Ashes Myalls geochemical survey
o
25 rock chips from this recent site visit have been submitted for assay

•
Further Geochemical Survey Planning: Identification of future targets for geochemical
work to take place simultaneously with other recent activity,
•
Drill Program Planning: Maiden drilling program anticipated to commence in Q2 CY2025,
following assessment of existing and new target generation from geochemical survey assay
results.
•
JORC Conversion of London-Victoria: Ongoing review of historical data from the LondonVictoria Mine site in preparation of an anticipated maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.
•
Further Prospect Reconnaissance: Visits to additional targets being planned for future
reconnaissance efforts, including additional areas on No Mistake (EL8830) and an initial
visit to new EL The Dish (EL9711), as well as to the northern areas of Front Gate (EL8831).

a 72.5% interest in the Parkes Gold and
Copper Project, consisting of four granted
exploration licences that are highly
prospective for Au-Cu, primarily due to their
location adjacent the giant Northparkes
copper-gold mine and encompassing the
Ordovician-aged rocks of the Macquarie
Arc, within the crustal-scale structure of the
Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ) that contain
both Northparkes and the world-class
Cadia gold-copper Mine.
South Australian Uranium Portfolio
Adavale also holds seven granted
exploration licences that are prospective
for their sedimentary uranium potential
within the northern part of the highlyprospective Northern outwash from the
Flinders Ranges in South Australia, as well
as four exploration licence east of Ceduna
on the Eyre Peninsula increasing Adavale’s
uranium tenement holdings including to
include uranium rights to 4,959km2.
The Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project
Adavale also holds the Kabanga Jirani Nickel
Project, a portfolio of twelve highly
prospective granted licences along the
Karagwe-Ankolean belt in Tanzania. The
nine southernmost licences are proximal to
the world class Kabanga Nickel Deposit
(87.6Mt @ 2.63% Ni Eq). Adavale holds 100%
of all licences except for two licences that
are known as the Luhuma-Farm-in, which
are held at 65%, adding a further 99km2 and
bringing the portfolio to 1,315km2.
Adavale’s licences were selected based on
their strong geochemical and geophysical
signatures from the previous exploration
undertaken by BHP.
