Transformational Gold and Copper Project Acquisition
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
MEDIA RELEASE
29 November 2024
Transformational Gold and Copper Project Acquisition
in the Lachlan Fold Belt
•
Adavale has made an all-scrip acquisition of a 72.5% interest in the Parkes Gold and Copper
Project (the ‘Project’) located in the prolific Lachlan Fold Belt of central New South Wales.
•
Adavale has acquired a 395km2 tenement holding, encompassing a geological setting that is
considered highly prospective for structurally-controlled gold and porphyry copper-gold
mineralisation.
•
The Project is located at the intersection of the crustal-scale Lachlan Transverse Zone
structural corridor with Early Ordovician-age Macquarie Arc Volcanics. The Project is adjacent
to the Northparkes porphyry-hosted copper-gold mine (5.2Moz Au & 4.4Mt Cu) [ASX:EVN] and
in a similar tectono-stratigraphic setting to the world-class Cadia-Ridgeway copper-gold
porphyry deposits (35Moz Au & 7.9Mt Cu) [ASX:NEM].
•
The key Project asset is the historical London-Victoria gold mine in EL 7242, which has an
Historical Estimate of 3.70Mt @ 1.04g/t Au for 124koz gold1 **.
•
A diamond drillhole on EL7242 was completed in November 2024 to test the depth potential of
the London-Victoria gold deposit, intersected a possible 12m-thick down-dip extension of the
deposit 250m below surface and 150m below the bottom of the pit. Assays are currently
pending.
•
Highest priority exploration target is the Ashes Prospect, located 12km east of the Northparkes
mine in EL 8831. It comprises an untested historical 200m-long, north-striking, up to 7.8%
copper5 and 8.8g/t gold2 rock chip sample geochemical anomaly 200m east across strike from
a yet to be fully resolved historical IP chargeability anomaly. Ashes is considered highly
prospective for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation.
•
Modern techniques and advances in geochemistry targeting further enhance the regional
potential of the wider Project area.
**Cautionary Statement: Readers are cautioned that the Historical Estimate for the London-Victoria deposit referred to in
this Announcement is not reported in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code. A Competent Person has not undertaken
sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimate as a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code. Nothing
has come to the attention of Adavale that causes it to question the accuracy or the reliability of the former owner’s Historical
Estimate. However, Adavale has not independently validated the former owner’s estimate and therefore is not to be regarded
as reporting, adopting or endorsing the estimate. Following evaluation and further exploration work, it is uncertain whether
it will be possible to report the Historical Estimate as a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code. The
Historical Estimate has been reported in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.12. Refer to Appendix 1 for further information.

Adavale Resources Limited [ASX:ADD] (‘Adavale’ or the ‘Company’), a multi-resource mining
company operating in both Australia and Tanzania, is pleased to advise that the Company has
acquired a 72.5% interest in the Parkes Gold and Copper Project (the ‘Parkes Project’ or the ‘Project’)
in the Lachlan Fold Belt of central New South Wales, Australia. The Project comprises four exploration
tenements for a total area of 395km2, that are prospective for orogenic, epithermal and gold-rich
porphyry-style copper-gold deposits.
The Project area is located within the prolific gold and copper producing Macquarie Arc portion of the
Lachlan Fold Belt in central NSW. The Exploration Licences (‘EL’s’) are situated where Early
Ordovician-age Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt rocks of the western part of the Arc are intersected
by the crustal-scale structural corridor of the Lachlan Transverse Zone (‘LTZ’). Significantly, the LTZ
is host to Tier 1 gold and copper mines, such as Northparkes (5.2Moz Au & 4.4Mt Cu) and CadiaRidgeway (35.1Moz Au & 7.9Mt Cu) where it intersects Macquarie Arc rocks (Figure 1).
The Parkes Project’s most advanced prospect is the former London-Victoria Gold Mine which saw
estimated historical production by BHP Gold and Hargraves of 200,000 to 250,000 ounces at a head
grade of 1.5-2g/t Au. A non-JORC Historical Estimate of 3.7Mt at 1.04g/t Au for 123.8koz Au is
defined for London-Victoria (Refer to Cautionary Statement and see Reference 1 – Agricultural Equity
Investments 2011). At London-Victoria, it is intended to utilise the existing drillhole database,
augmented by a small number of new well-targeted deeper holes, to estimate a Mineral Resource.
This opportunity comes at relatively low cost and at a time of record gold prices.

Macquarie Arc Group. Note the Project’s proximity adjacent to the Northparkes mine at the intersection of the Lachlan
Transverse Zone with the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt.
Adavale’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Allan Ritchie commented:
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce this transformational gold and copper project acquisition
with significant upside, located in the Tier 1 jurisdiction of the Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW, near
Parkes. The Parkes Project contains four granted licences with advanced gold and copper
prospects and drill-ready targets identified in three of the Licenses. A diamond drill hole was also
recently completed with assays currently pending.
The Project is located adjacent to the giant Northparkes mine (ASX:EVN) that hosts 5.2Moz Au
and 4.4Mt Cu, is along strike of the Tomingley mine (ASX:ALK) with 2.3Moz Au and not far from
the world-class Cadia mine (ASX:NEM) with 35.1 Moz Au and 7.9Mt Cu.
Adavale has the London-Victoria deposit with an Historical Estimate of 124koz Au. We are very
excited about the deposit’s exploration potential and we see significant scope to increase the
resource. We also have 3 other licences with abundant gold and copper targets.
We are also very pleased with the support received for this Placement and welcome all our new
investors. The company is now well-funded to advance exploration at the Parkes Project and
commence our maiden drilling program at our uranium prospects in South Australia once we
receive the final necessary approval. There is a lot of exciting work ahead of us and we look
forward to providing regular updates to all shareholders.”

LONDON-VICTORIA GOLD MINE - NOVEMBER 2024 DIAMOND DRILLING
An angled 453m-long diamond core hole (AEIDD001) was drilled by the Vendor in November 2024
to test the down-dip depth potential of the London-Victoria gold deposit. The hole targeted the deposit
approximately 250m below surface and 150m below the bottom of the pit.
AEIDD001 was drilled –55o towards the west with an anticipated target, target depth of 340m
downhole. The hole intersected a prospective 12m-wide zone of quartz-carbonate veining and
shearing in pyrite-sericite altered andesitic volcanoclastic rock from 339m to 351m. The intercept is
broadly consistent with the geology, thickness, structure and alteration assemblage, exhibited by the
ore that was mined at the bottom of the London-Victoria pit by BHP Gold and Hargraves in the 1980’s
and 1990’s.
The drill core appears to be mineralised however no inferences can be drawn from these observations
about the gold grade of this intersection at present. Assay results for AEIDD001 are pending and will
be reported in full by Adavale as soon as they become available.
Figure 2 displays a satellite image showing AEIDD001’s location relative to the London-Victoria pit. A
photo of the drill core from the potential down-dip extension interval of the London-Victoria deposit
intersected in AEIDD001 is provided in Figure 3.
Further information about this hole can be found in Appendix 2.

quartz-carbonate veining and shearing in sericite-pyrite altered andesitic volcanoclastic rock intersected 339 to 351m
downhole, which is thought to be the down-dip extension of the London-Victoria deposit. Core tray length is 1m.
OTHER PROSPECTS
Other prospects in the Project area include Ashes, Myalls, Corner, Parkvale, Cunich and Birthday
Mine. These prospects have had minimal or no drill testing but have recorded numerous high-grade
polymetallic rock chip sampling assay results with which to guide initial exploration activities. Key drill
intercepts and rock chips from the prospects are presented in Table 1.
The ‘walk up’ Ashes, Myalls and Corner Prospects are within tenement EL 8831; adjacent to and
approximately 10km east of the Northparkes mine which contains an endowment of 5.2Moz Au and
4.4Mt Cu. These prospects share similar geology to Northparkes, as well as significant gold, silver
and copper assay results in rock chip samples from the prospects, representing compelling
exploration targets worthy of early follow-up by the Company (Figures 4 and 5).
Ashes is a particularly compelling porphyry copper-gold target as it comprises an untested, historical,
200m-long, north-striking, up to 7.3% copper5 and 8.8g/t gold2 rock chip sample geochemical
anomaly situated 200m east across strike from a yet to be resolved historical IP chargeability anomaly
and 400m south-west of historical end-of-auger-hole diamond core tails that intersected monzonite
which is the felsic intrusive lithology that hosts the Northparkes deposits6.
In addition to these prospects, there is still additional potential to make further discoveries in the
Project area. This is primarily due to advances in modern exploration geochemistry techniques,
including lower detection limits and more comprehensive assay methods, in addition to advances in
pathfinder element footprint vectoring for finding new deposits.

ABOUT ADAVALE – Exploring for Gold and Copper in the NSW Lachlan Fold Belt, Uranium in
South Australia and Nickel Sulphide in Tanzania.
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD)
is the holder of the Parkes Project
comprising 4 granted Exploration
Licences considered highly prospective
for gold and copper due to their proximity
to the giant Northparkes mine at the
intersection of the Lachlan Transverse
Zone with the western part of the prolific
gold and copper producing Early
Ordovician Macquarie Arc Volcanics – a
geological setting also similar to the
nearby world-class Cadia-Ridgeway CuAu porphyry deposit.
Adavale holds 7 granted exploration licences
prospective for their sedimentary uranium
potential within the northern part of the highly
prospective Northern outwash from the
Flinders Ranges in South Australia and 4
exploration licence applications east of Ceduna
on the Eyre Peninsula. Adavale has also
secured the uranium rights over EL6968
increasing Adavale’s uranium tenement
holdings including uranium rights to 6,117km2.
Adavale also holds 7 granted exploration
licences prospective for their sedimentary
uranium potential within the northern part
of the highly prospective Northern
outwash from the Flinders Ranges in
South Australia and 4 exploration licence
applications east of Ceduna on the Eyre
Peninsula. Adavale has also secured the
uranium rights over EL6968 increasing
Adavale’s uranium tenement holdings
including uranium rights to 6,117km2.
Adavale also holds the Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project, a
portfolio of 12 highly prospective granted licences along
the Karagwe-Ankolean belt in Tanzania. The 9
southernmost licences are proximal to the world-class
Kabanga Nickel Deposit (87.6Mt @ 2.63% Ni Eq).
Adavale holds 100% of all licences except 2 licences
known as the Luhuma-Farm-in are held 65% adding a
further 99km2 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.
