“We are grateful for the support of our existing and new shareholders in this Placement. We have
made significant progress in our understanding of the geology and controls on mineralisation at
Kabanga Jirani this year, particularly in light of our recent massive sulphide intersections at Luhuma
Central.
We firmly believe that the vectors to mineralisation are pointing us in the right direction for a discovery.
We currently have two drill rigs on site and with this level of exploration activity there should be plenty
of newsflow over the coming months to look forward to.”

ABOUT ADAVALE
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) is a nickel sulphide exploration company that holds 100% of the Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project, a
portfolio of 12 highly prospective granted licences covering ~1,216km2 along the Karagwe-Ankolean belt in Tanzania. The six southernmost
licences are proximal to the world-class Kabanga Nickel Deposit (58Mt @ 2.62% Ni). Adavale has farmed-in to two more highly prospective
licences contiguous to our seven southernmost licences, adding a further 99km2 to the portfolio 1,315sq km). Adavale’s licences were

Frome Embayment in South Australia.
