London Victoria Maiden Drilling Campaign Completed
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
4 August 2025
ASX: ADD
London Victoria Maiden Drilling Campaign Completed
• Maiden RC drilling program at the London Victoria Gold Mine completed with 14 holes
drilled for a total of 2,060m.
• Visual inspection of the drill chips confirms that drilling intersected the target shear zone.
• Of the 14 holes drilled, 9 were collared on the flanks of the pit, with the remaining 5 holes
collared on the pit floor, targeting shallow extensions of the known gold mineralisation.
• Groundsearch have mobilised to site to conduct Downhole Televiewer logging of select
holes to enable the Company to better define the structural controls of the
mineralisation at London Victoria.
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) (“Adavale” or the “Company”), an Australian junior
explorer focused on gold and copper in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, is pleased to
announce that the maiden RC drilling program at the London Victoria Mine has been completed.
A total of 14 RC holes for 2,060m were drilled successfully intersecting the targeted shear zone. 9
of the 14 holes were drilled from the eastern flank and along the southern strike of the existing pit,
with 5 holes drilled from within the pit itself.
The samples have been progressively sent to Onsite Laboratory Services in Bendigo with the first
batch confirmed to have been received.
Groundsearch have mobilised to site and are conducting downhole optical televiewer logging of
select holes to provide the Company with detailed structural imaging to better understand and
define the controls of the mineralisation at London Victoria. The assay results and structural review
will guide future exploration activities at the mine.
The primary objective of the initial drilling program at the mine is to increase and potentially
upgrade to a higher resource classification, the JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of
115koz Au containing a higher grade estimate of 3.14Mt at 1.06g/t Au for 107koz.
Adavale Resources Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Allan Ritchie, commented:
“The completion of the maiden drilling campaign at London Victoria is a milestone, not just for the Project
but for the Company alike. This marks the first standalone drilling campaign at the Project for 28 years
and solidifies the transformation of Adavale to a gold explorer and potential developer. Successfully
completing the program without incident, on time, within budget and having intersected the target shear
zone is a testament to Adavale’s exploration team.
Adavale has now sent all samples for assay and is conducting down hole logging of select holes for
structural interpretation. Assay results will be released to the market as soon as they are received, while
these results and the structural review will be guiding further exploration activities at London Victoria.”

Next Steps at the Parkes Project
Multiple ongoing exploration efforts continue to take place at the Parkes Project simultaneously,
with key projects and milestones including:
•
Exploration Target from London-Victoria: Stemming from the recent JORC 2012 Inferred
Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE); expected outlining of a range of potential additional
tonnes and grade of the deposit outside of the area of the current MRE.
•
Further Geochemical Survey Planning: Identification of future targets for geochemical
work to take place simultaneously with other activity; Parkvale South becoming a high
priority dependent on results of further rock chip sampling.
•
Further Prospect Reconnaissance: Visits to additional targets being planned for future
reconnaissance efforts, including additional areas on No Mistake (EL8830) and an initial
visit to The Dish (EL9711), as well as the Northern Areas of Front Gate (EL8831).
This announcement is authorised for release by the Board of Adavale Resources Limited.

Overview of The Parkes Project: A World-Class Geological Setting
The Parkes Project comprises five granted exploration licences (EL’s) that cover a total area of
~371.39 km² strategically located within the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt – a Tier-1 mining
jurisdiction. The region hosts world-class operations such as Cadia Ridgeway (35.1Moz Au &
7.9Mt Cu) and Northparkes (5.2Moz Au & 4.4Mt Cu), adjacent and directly west of the Parkes
Project.

ABOUT ADAVALE RESOURCES
Exploring for Gold and Copper in the NSW Lachlan Fold Belt, Uranium in South Australia, and Nickel
Sulphide in Tanzania.
The Parkes Project
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD)
tenements span ~371km2 including 100% of
EL9785 and a 72.5% interest in the Parkes
Gold and Copper Project, consisting of four
granted exploration licences that are highly
prospective for Au-Cu, primarily due to their
location adjacent the giant Northparkes
copper-gold mine and encompassing the
Ordovician-aged rocks of the Macquarie
Arc, within the crustal-scale structure of the
Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ) that contain
both Northparkes and the world-class
Cadia gold-copper Mine.
South Australian Uranium Portfolio
Adavale also holds 11 granted exploration
licences that are prospective for their
sedimentary uranium potential. 7 are held
within the northern part of the highlyprospective Northern outwash from the
Flinders Ranges in South Australia, as well
as 4 granted exploration licence east of
Ceduna on the Eyre Peninsula, increasing
Adavale’s uranium tenement holdings to
4,959km2.
The Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project
Adavale also holds the Kabanga Jirani Nickel
Project, a portfolio of 13 highly prospective
granted licences along the East African
Nickel belt in Tanzania. The nine
southernmost licences are proximal to the
world class Kabanga Nickel Deposit (87.6Mt
@ 2.63% Ni Eq). Adavale holds 100% of all
licences except for two licences that are
known as the Luhuma-Farm-in, which are
held at 65%, adding a further 99km2 and
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.
