Announcement PDF ASX ANNOUNCEMENT/MEDIA RELEASE 6 September 2023 Over 340m of Nickel Sulphide Mineralisation intersected in fifth hole at Luhuma Central HIGHLIGHTS • Drill hole DDLUHC005 at Luhuma Central intersected: - - Semi-massive and heavily disseminated sulphides over 15.6 m from 408m to 423.6m including thin massive sulphide veins Significant medium to coarse-grained sulphides (5 to 7%) over 327.7m from 80.3m to 408m downhole • DDLUHC005 provides validation of the thickening of the sulphide horizon in a southerly direction • DDLUHC005 provides validation of strike extent of the Luhuma Central mineralisation to over 300m, which remains open both to the north and south • All five drill holes now completed at Luhuma Central have intersected significant massive and/or semi-massive sulphide mineralisation • Ground EM survey to commence at Luhuma Central prior to drilling for north and south strike extensions Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) (“or the Company”) is pleased to announce that the fifth drill hole, DDLUHC005 at Luhuma Central has intersected a 15.6m (downhole) zone of semi-massive and heavily disseminated nickel sulphides including thin massive sulphide veins between 408m to 423.6m as well as 327.7m (downhole) of medium to coarse-grained sulphides. Improved confirmatory assay results have also been received from ALS South Africa for the first two Luhuma Central drill holes. Downhole EM (DHEM) surveys are ongoing together with planned ground Electromagnetic (EM) surveying at Luhuma Central. Adavale’s Executive Director, David Riekie, commented: “A fifth consecutive drill hole with sulphide mineralisation is a great outcome. What is particularly gratifying is the strike extent being open to both the North and South and drill testing of this is imminent. Ground EM will also be used to trace the interpreted mineralisation over the full 11.5km strike extent at Luhuma Central. The Company looks forward to providing ongoing updates to what is a very exciting phase in the program”. ASX: ADD DIRECTORS & OFFICERS GRANT PIERCE CHAIRMAN DAVID RIEKIE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN HICKS DIRECTOR ALLAN RITCHIE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER LEONARD MATH CFO & COMPANY SECRETARY ABOUT ADAVALE Adavale Resources is an ASX-listed exploration company targeting projects in the 'battery materials‘ space. The company is currently focused on both its 100% owned Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project and 2 Farm-in ‘Luhuma’ licences adjacent and along strike from the world’s largest undeveloped high grade NiS resource of 58Mt @ 2.62% Ni. Adavale is also progressing exploration on its 100% owned uranium tenements in South Australia Technical Summary and interpretation Drill hole DDLUHC005 is currently being cased in preparation for DHEM surveying while the core is being cut and prepped for assay. The DHEM survey team is still on site to ensure a quick turnaround for the DDLUHC005 survey and the reporting of results. The sulphide zone intersected in DDLUHC005 between 408m to 423m is dominated by pyrrhotite with between 1% to 5% pentlandite and minor pyrite and chalcopyrite. Handheld XRF readings returned results between 1.40% and 2.70% Ni within the massive sulphides and 0.5% to 0.6% Ni in the disseminated sulphides. While the Company takes every reasonable measure to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the XRF devices by regular calibration checks against certified standards and is confident of the reported values, the readings are point measurements on core or core chips and therefore may not reflect the assayed grade of the broader sampled interval. Initial assay results expected within 3 to 4 weeks. Located approximately 90m to the southwest of drill hole DDLUHC004, drill hole DDLUHC005 at Luhuma Central was collared to test the southward extension of the high quality/late channel EM plate modelled from the DDLUHC004 DHEM survey data (Figure 4). Drill hole DDLUHC004 previously intersected a cumulative thickness of massive and semi-massive sulphides totalling 21.55m (refer to Adavale ASX announcement dated 17 August 2023). Between 408m and 423m, drill hole DDLUHC005 intersected a zone of semi-massive and heavily disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation (Figure 1, 2 and 3). Figure 1 and 2: Zone of semi-massive and heavily disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation 408m and 423m in DDLUHC005 Figure 3: Massive sulphide unit from 423.4m to 423.6m DDLUHC005 ASX Announcement 2 Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The Company regularly uses a portable hand-held XRF analyser to screen drill core for mineralisation before cutting and sampling. This allows for some understanding of the distribution of mineralisation prior to sampling to better ensure that the sampled core is representative of the type and style of mineralisation. Numerous readings are obtained and recorded for future reference. The hand-held XRF provides confirmation that mineralisation is present however it is not an accurate determination of the elemental concentration within the sample analysed. Limitations include very small analysis window, possible inhomogeneous distribution of mineralisation, analytical penetration depth and possible effects from irregular rock surface. The pXRF readings are subject to confirmation by chemical analysis from an independent laboratory. This intersection broadly coincided with the modelled depth of the targeted EM plate, in addition to the overlying 327.7m of medium to coarse-grained disseminated sulphides intercepted between 80.3 and 408m. This provides further validation for the thickening of the sulphide zone to the south and extends the known strike extent of the Luhuma Central mineralisation to over 300m. The strike remains open both to the north and south (Figure 4). The dip extents of the moderate to steeply west dipping Luhuma Central mineralisation requires further investigation. Geophysical modelling (Audiomagnetotelluric anomalies) suggests the mineralisation could extend upwards of 100m over the dip direction but this needs to be confirmed by additional drilling. Drilling and DHEM at Luhuma Central has been designed to delineate both the N-S extent of the mineralisation and possible zones of greater sulphide accumulation. To date, approximately 300m strike extent has been drill tested and drill holes DDLUHC004 and now DDLUHC005 have intersected broader cumulative thicknesses of mineralisation in the south compared to the holes located further to the north (Table 1). An orientation ground EM survey is about to commence over the currently drilled southern portion of Luhuma Central to determine if the highly conductive mineralisation intersected there to date can be better defined and traced more accurately to the north and south. The EM survey can then be expanded to cover the more northern and southern areas of Luhuma Central where both existing airborne EM and Audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) surveys have indicated mineralisation may extend into these areas. The ground EM survey is anticipated to take two weeks to complete and if successful will determine the extent and location of the next phase of drilling.

This drill hole was completed to a depth of 552.3m and cased for DHEM. No significant sulphide mineralisation was observed in the hole. ASX Announcement 5 Next Steps The Company currently has two drill rigs operating within the Luhuma trend - one diamond rig has been focused on Luhuma Central testing for both depth and strike extensions of the massive nickel sulphide mineralisation. The second, a multipurpose rig has just completed and cased a deeper priority diamond hole at HEM2. This rig has now been re-configured to RC and will begin a series of RC holes designed to test several coincident gravity and EM geochemical anomalies at HEM4. Included in the upcoming newsflow will be: • • • • • Visual interpretation from drilling planned holes at LUHC and (HEM2E), as appropriate; ALS assay results; Downhole EM results; Ground EM survey results; and DD drilling and RC drilling at HEM2 E and HEM4.

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 selected based on their strong geochemical and geophysical signatures from the previous exploration undertaken by BHP. Adavale also holds exploration licences for their sedimentary uranium potential within the northern part of the highly prospective Lake Frome Embayment in South Australia. ASX Announcement 7 Appendix 1 Adavale Resources Limited – Reverse Circulation and Diamond Drilling Program - Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project JORC Code Edition 2012: Table 1 Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.) Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary Sampling techniques • RC drilling is conducted primarily to identify the presence of mafic/ultramafic intrusions or to precollar ahead of converting to diamond drilling. RC chips that are identified as mafic or ultramafic are initially analysed with a pXRF, but representative samples are also submitted to ALS (South Africa) for analyses by ICP MS. • • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. For RC analyses sampling is not representative of the broader geological horizons and simply represents values derived from select points. The pXRF has been calibrated using the AMIS standards AMIS0315, AMIS0317, AMIS0319, AMIS0329, AMIS384 and AMIS0367. Standards used to verify quality of results measured include AMIS0317 and AMIS0315. If mineralisation is intercepted with RC drilling than RC material will be captured for every metre drilled. The material is put through a riffler and one third is taken for further analyses where it is sieved to remove the chips which are stored in a chip tray. Both the fines and the chips are logged and analysed using the pXRF to record Ni values. MgO values are also noted for each lithological interval. Any mineralised fines will be submitted for analyses using aqua regia digest. All sampling equipment must be cleaned between samples to prevent contamination. SG is calculated at site using a pycnometer and measurements are taken systematically down the drillhole. This is used to reconcile intercepted lithologies against the modelled gravity anomalies to verify that the causative source has been intercepted. For diamond drilling sampling takes place as follows: Core is aligned and a cutting line is drawn to prevent sampling bias. Samples are marked off in pre-defined intervals of 1 m or smaller if required to honour lithological contacts. The core is split along the china marker reference line. The sampling depth and sample ID are then transferred onto the half core remaining so that the core can be revisited and act as a reference. ASX Announcement 8 Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary The remaining sampled half of the core is then submitted to an accredited laboratory (ALS South Africa) along with QAQC samples which will form 15% of all samples submitted and will include certified blanks and Ni standards. Drilling techniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Combination of RC and diamond drilling using NQ sized core. Current depth limit of RC drilling is 150m and for diamond drilling is 600m. Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. For RC Drilling Logging • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. • • Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • ASX Announcement Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of Bulk sample retrieved from the cyclone, sample is put through the riffler and 2 to 3 kg sample retrieved for analyses (if required). Chips from this sample are extracted by washing some of the sample material – these chips are placed in a chip tray in order to keep a record of lithologies for each metre drilled. The riffler is cleaned with compressed air between sample collection to prevent contamination. For Diamond Drilling RQD measurements are taken of core to record recovery. Nature of mineralisation is not nuggety and prone to strong variations in grade that correlate to core loss or loss of fines. Sample length may be compromised when drilling through massive sulphides where core loss is often prevalent. The following is recorded for each interval in the lithology log: Borehole ID, From and to depths, lithology code, weathering, colour, grain size, rock texture and contact type and angle The following is recorded for each mineralized interval in the mineralisation log: borehole ID, from and to depths, mineralisation type, mineralisation style and mineralisation abundance (usually as a sulphide percentage) Chips from RC drilling are stored in a chip tray with a representative sample captured for every metre. Drill core has been cut in half with half core remaining in the core tray and the other half submitted to the laboratory. Where the lithology is uniform samples are taken at 1 m intervals otherwise sample lengths are dictated by geological contacts. RC material has been captured for every metre drilled. For details of sampling technique see “Sampling techniques” section. 9 Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary the sample preparation technique. Quality of assay data and laboratory tests Verification of sampling and assaying Location of data points ASX Announcement • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. • The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and Core samples will be analysed by ALS laboratory in South Africa. An aqua regia digest will be used to avoid the inclusion of silicate Ni. CRM’s, blanks and standard will be inserted to verify laboratory accuracy, precision or bias. QAQC samples will form 15% of all samples submitted. In some instances a four acid digest will also be used and some samples may be analysed by SGS in Tanzania. Chips from RC drilling are stored in a chip tray with a representative sample captured for every metre to enable check sampling to be undertaken. All logging and pXRF readings have been undertaken by a senior exploration personnel. Primary data was collected in the core shed using a set of standard logging templates and entered into a tablet with tailor made dropdown menus. The data is forwarded to their independent data management consultant (MSA) for validation and loading into the company’s drilling database The drillhole collars were surveyed with a handheld GPS unit with an accuracy of 5m which is considered sufficiently accurate for the purpose of the drillhole. All co- ordinates are expressed in Arc1960. 10 Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples are kept in the core shed and then delivered in person by the geologist to the courier company from where they are dispatched to the laboratory. Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Internal audits/reviews of procedures are ongoing, however no external reviews have been undertaken.
