Competent Person Statement
The information in this release that relates to “exploration results” for the Nickel Project is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr David Dodd of MSA, South Africa. Mr Dodd is a consultant
for Adavale Resources Limited and is a member of the SACNASP. Mr Dodd has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as well as
to the activity that is being undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person under the ASX Listing Rules. Mr Dodd consents to this release in the form and context in which it appears.
.
The information in this release that relates to “exploration results” for the Uranium Project is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr Patrick Harvey MAppSci, Australia. Mr Harvey is a
consultant for Adavale Resources Limited and is a member of the AIG. Mr Harvey has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as
well as to the activity that is being undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person under the ASX Listing Rules. Mr Harvey consents to this release in the form and context in which it appears.
Visual Estimates & pXRF usage
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. =

Tanzania – An Attractive Mining Destination
▪ Mining is a crucial sector for Tanzania, generating
more than US$2.5 billion annually and accounting for
over 50% of the country’s exports by value
▪ President Samia Suluhu Hassan, has pledged a
“commitment to the development of the mining
sector”, with the aim of the mining sector accounting
for 10% of the country’s GDP by 2025, up from 6.7%
in 2020
▪ Renewal of public sector management with focus on
project delivery
▪ Framework Agreements with consistent terms are
being executed with international mining company
investors
▪ Clear government ownership interest (16%)
established
▪ Good infrastructure in place, with upgrades
underway
13
President Samia Suluhu Hassan and US Vice President Kamala Harris recently met to discuss strengthening
ties between the two countries.

Lake Surprise Uranium Project, South Australia
Significant prospective licence package – Uranium in the paleochannel system
Located in South Australia - 550km north
of Adelaide and 75km east of Marree
Proven uranium province hosting
multiple mines and deposits - 90km
from Beverly Four Mile Uranium mine
100% owned tenure comprising 5
granted EL’s (~1,600km2) on the
northern flank of the Flinders Ranges
(considered highly uraniferous)
400km gamma survey1 interpreted to be
hosted in the silicified sediments of a
palaeochannel system discharging from
northern Flinders Ranges
Assay summary from rock chip
samples2 :
Highest uranium content of 356ppm
11 of 28 rock chip samples with
uranium content above 100ppm
(7 above 200ppm)
Elevated gamma correlating with the
uranium in samples

Mundowdna Uranium Target Areas
Gravity and EM data correlates with satellite data
GRAVITY
Data processed using first vertical derivative
(1VD)
1VD gravity lows are coincident with
interpreted paleodrainage
May represent thicker catchment ‘pockets’
within the palaeochannels
TEMPEST EM
Airborne EM modelled at 60-100m vertical
depth (representing approx. depth of
paleochannels)
EM conductors were found coincident with
the interpreted paleochannels
May represent thicker uranium accumulations
within the palaeochannels
18
Mundowdna Uranium Target Areas – Next Steps
Surface soils, gravity and gamma surveys to be undertaken
Initial plan is to undertake soil sampling, gravity
and gamma surveys to refine targets (3-4 week
program)
Transects (denoted in pink) will utilise existing
tracks, no special permits required (covering ~
80+ line kms)
Ground disturbance applications underway and
heritage discussions to progress to enable
pathway to next phase of exploration (drilling)
