High priority uranium targets can be progressed over the
Company’s large scale licence holdings totalling 1,669km2
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) (“or the Company”) is pleased
to advise that it has received notification of the grant of exploration licence
EL6957 (formerly ELA 2023/00043) (Mundowdna South), which is
contiguous to and south of the Company’s existing Mundowdna licence
EL6821 (Figure 1). The new licence covers 591km2, which includes a large
recognisable alluvial outwash system shedding from the central northern
part of the Flinders Ranges, significantly expands the Mundowdna
exploration package and the Company’s overall uranium tenure in South
Australia.
Adavale’s Executive Director, David Riekie commented:
“This new licence significantly expands our ground holding in a highly
prospective Uranium province. A thorough interrogation of the
comprehensive. publicly accessible dataset available, has assisted
Adavale to identify interpreted palaeochannel systems and refine priority
targets within its tenure. The outwash and paleochannel systems shedding
from the Flinders Ranges appear to be the most prospective for uranium.
On this basis, Adavale is confident to progress its exploration plans.”
New Licence Location
The granted Mundowdna licences are located near the northern edge of
the Flinders Ranges, which are recognised as the source of the uranium
that is mobilised into and eventually deposited into palaeochannel systems
by saline groundwater shedding from the Ranges. Mundowdna South
(EL6957) is within 20km of the change from a narrow channel shedding
from the ranges into a broad fluvial outwash (palaeochannel) system.
These palaeochannel systems in South Australia are host to several world
class sandstone uranium deposits such as Beverly, Four Mile, Junction
Dam, Gould’s Dam and Honeymoon.
