STRONGLY SUPPORTED PLACEMENT OF $5.15M TO
ADVANCE LONDON VICTORIA MINE
Highlights
• Adavale has successfully completed a strongly supported placement which
required substantial scaling, totalling $5.15 million across two tranches.
• The raising was strongly supported by the Company’s cornerstone investor, who
maintained a 20% holding, alongside existing top shareholders who maintained
and increased their positions, as well as new strategic, long-term gold investors.
• Directors and management have subscribed for $168,000 in the Placement,
maintaining a meaningful shareholding in the Company.
• Proceeds will be designated to further advance the brownfields London Victoria
Gold Mine with a more extensive Phase 3 drilling program to commence shortly.
• Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling successfully delivered significant drill intercepts
including:
o 10m @ 1.95g/t Au from 149m including 1m @ 8.3g/t Au (ALRC001)
o 12m @ 1.48g/t Au from 38m (ALRC004)
o 48m @ 0.82g/t Au from 133m (ALRC014)
o 14m @ 2.62g/t Au from 133m (1.0g/t Au cut-off) (ALR018)
o 23m @ 1.64g/t Au from 142m (0.5g/t Au cut-off) (ALR020)
• The London-Victoria mineral system remains open at depth, down plunge and
along strike, with drilling results to date reinforcing scale and continuity and
highlighting strong potential for a material uplift to the Mineral Resource
Estimate (MRE).
• Assays pending for 7 additional holes from Phase 2 drilling.
• Continuing systematic greenfields exploration activities at the Parkes Gold &
Copper Project.
Adavale Resources Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Allan Ritchie, commented:

this placement. We are pleased that our cornerstone investor continues to support the Company to

Company will advance broader exploration activities across the Parkes Gold and Copper Project, with a
focus on new discovery.”

~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 highly-
prospective 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.
