Bonanza Gold Grades up to 245g/t at Victoria South
Significant gold in historic drilling at Victoria South
• Victoria South (Vic-Sth) historic drilling confirms extension potential of the
London-Victoria Gold Mine along strike to the south
• Vic-Sth drilling validates surface sampling and highlights the near-mine footprint
materially exceeds the scale of the existing London–Victoria MRE (Figure 3)
• Bonanza grade intercept of 1m @ 245.5g/t Au from 22m (KGC12)
• Further significant intercepts include (Figure 1 & Figure 2):
o 17m @ 1.53g/t Au from 12m (KGC10)
o 13m @ 2.25g/t Au from 41m (KGC11)
o 15m @ 1.68g/t Au from 36m (KGC14)
o 14m @ 1.05g/t Au from 14m (KGC15)
o 13m @ 1.37g/t Au from 57m (KGC15)
o 11m @ 2.37g/t Au from 16m (KGC17)
o 11m @ 1.51g/t Au from 1m (KGC20)
• These thick, shallow intercepts are interpreted as a direct extension of the
existing London-Victoria 115koz gold Mineral Resource
• Victoria South has potential to add significantly to the existing resource inventory
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) (“Adavale” or the “Company”), is pleased to
announce progress on its Parkes Gold-Copper Project results from a review and compilation of
near-mine drillhole datasets.
Adavale Resources Managing Director, Mr. David Ward, commented:
“The validation of historical drilling at Victoria South confirms the opportunity for a southern extension
of the London–Victoria mineralised system, with multiple shallow, high-grade intercepts supporting
strong continuity along strike. The prospect fits directly within our evolving structural model, and with
drone magnetics extending into this area, we are well positioned to refine targets in advance of drilling.
Victoria South represents a priority near-mine opportunity with potential to deliver additional shallow
ounces to support ongoing Mineral Resource growth.”
Adavale Resources Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Allan Ritchie, commented:
“Results from the Victoria South Prospect reinforces the strong momentum building across the Parkes
Copper-Gold Project, with shallow high-grade results including a bonanza grade intercept of 1m @
245.5g/t Au from 22m highlighting the quality of mineralisation emerging along strike. With multiple
workstreams advancing in parallel, we are rapidly building scale at London–Victoria while continuing to
unlock new opportunities across the broader project.”

Figure 1: Section A-A’ Victoria South Prospect
Potential for Significant Increase to London Victoria Gold Resource
Gold mineralisation at the London–Victoria Gold Mine has been recognised since its initial
discovery in 1863, with extensive historic mining and exploration focused along the London–
Victoria structural corridor. Recent evaluation of surface geochemical data identified a coherent
gold anomaly at the Victoria South Prospect, located immediately south of the existing open pit.
A detailed review and compilation of historical drilling completed in 1995 has confirmed that this
surface anomalism is underpinned by significant gold mineralisation at shallow depths. These
drillholes, completed by Sipa Exploration NL under a farm-in agreement with Michelago Resources
NL, returned multiple high-grade intercepts but were not systematically followed up at the time.
Importantly, the Victoria South Prospect straddled the historical boundary between Exploration
Licence EL4945 and the London–Victoria Mining Lease (ML1215), which is interpreted to have
limited follow-up drilling where mineralisation extended into ground held by BHP Gold. With these
tenure constraints now removed and the area consolidated under Adavale’s EL7242, this dataset
has been integrated into the Company’s drillhole database for the first time.

Figure 2: Section B-B’ Victoria South Prospect
Victoria South aligns with the Company’s evolving structural model, which highlights the
importance of the London–Victoria shear zone and associated fold geometries in controlling gold
mineralisation. The ongoing extension of high-resolution drone magnetic surveys into this area is
expected to further refine structural interpretations and support drill targeting.
The confirmation of shallow gold mineralisation at Victoria South represents a significant near-
mine growth opportunity, located directly along strike from the existing Mineral Resource and well
positioned to support rapid conversion through follow-up drilling.
Confirmation that surface gold anomalism at Victoria South reflects underlying basement-hosted
mineralisation has validated the effectiveness of the surface geochemical sampling, materially
enhancing the opportunity presented by drill testing the other near-mine prospects.

London-Victoria Gold Mine – Next Steps
• Brownfields drilling
o Systematic “drill out” underway to expand and upgrade existing mineralisation and
support ongoing Mineral Resource growth.
• Metallurgical testing
o Preliminary metallurgical sighter test work to assess recoveries and support future
development studies.
• Preliminary scoping studies
o Early-stage technical and economic assessments to evaluate development pathways
and inform project prioritisation.
• Geophysical surveys
o High-resolution airborne geophysics to refine structural interpretation, improve
targeting accuracy and prioritise follow-up drilling.

Greenfields Exploration – Regional Targets -Next Steps
• Geophysical surveys
o Extension of high-resolution magnetics at Ashes, into the newly acquired exploration
tenure to assist target generation associated with the IP anomalism and high-grade
surface sampling.
• Surface geochemistry
o Extension of systematic soil and rock-chip programs at Ashes, into the newly
acquired exploration tenure to generate new anomalies and rank targets for drilling.
• First-pass drilling
o Initial drill testing of priority greenfields targets generated from geophysics and
geochemistry to pursue new discoveries.

Appendix 3 – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)
CRITERIA JORC Code Explanation Commentary
SAMPLING
TECHNIQUES
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Two datasets are included: (1) 1995 RAB/RC drilling at Victoria South (KGC/KGR holes), and (2)
earlier diamond drilling (LV-84, LV-85). Diamond core from LV-84 and LV-85 was sampled over
mineralised intervals and assayed for Au and Ag, with averages reported over defined intervals.
Gold assays >1 g/t are reported as averages of AAS and check fire assays.
• Diamond holes LV-84, LV-85 were reported as such in 1983 and subsequently renamed to LVD084
and LVD085.
DRILLING
TECHNIQUES
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• KGC/KGR drilling: RAB and RC methods. LV-84 and LV-85: diamond drilling (DDH) completed to
test mineralisation along the London–Victoria Fault. LV-84 drilled to ~142 m and LV-85 to ~106.65
m.

• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

LOGGING • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• LV-84 and LV-85 (diamond drilling): Diamond core was logged in detail for lithology, alteration,
structure and mineralisation. Logging identified strongly foliated and altered volcanic rocks,
quartz veining, and sulphide assemblages including pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and sphalerite.
Mineralisation was observed within narrow zones associated with shearing and veining within
the London–Victoria Fault corridor.
• KGC/KGR (RAB and RC drilling): Drillholes were geologically logged for lithology, weathering,
alteration and mineralisation based on drill chips. Logging focused on identification of oxidised
and fresh zones, quartz veining, sulphide content and alteration styles associated with gold
mineralisation. While logging procedures are not described in detail in the historical reports,
appendices and drill summaries indicate systematic geological logging sufficient to support
interpretation of mineralised zones
SUB-SAMPLING
TECHNIQUES
AND SAMPLE
PREPARATION
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality, and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
• Diamond core was sampled over defined intervals corresponding to mineralisation zones. Assays
were conducted using AAS and fire assay techniques, with check assays. Sample preparation
methods are not fully described but consistent with industry practice at the time.
• KGC RC holes were samples every 1m downhole.
• KGR RAB holes were composited to 4m and samples with elevated gold were subsampled to 1m.
QUALITY OF
ASSAY DATA AND
LABORATORY
TESTS
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e.
lack of bias) and precision have been established.
• Gold assays include AAS and check fire assays. For LV-84/85, higher-grade assays (>1 g/t Au) were
verified using both methods. No modern QA/QC (standards/blanks/duplicates) reported, but
check assays support reasonable confidence in results.
• QAQC results reported would be considered above industry standard for the time.

• The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

10900N and 9700N.
• KGC/KGR holes were reported in AMG66 Zone 55 and subsequently converted with an industry
standard GIS software and reported in GDA94 Zone 55.
• No downhole surveys were recorded for any of the drillholes.
DATA SPACING

establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• LV-84 and LV-85 were drilled to test specific structural targets along the London–Victoria Fault.
Drilling was targeted rather than grid-based, focusing on mineralised zones defined by surface
geochemistry.
• KCG RC holes were drilled on a tight 20m x 20m grid perpendicular to the mineralised shear zone.
• KGR RAB holes were drilled on 10m centres on east-west lines 100m apart perpendicular to the

EXPLORATION DONE BY
OTHER PARTIES
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
• Records for mining at and around London-Victoria Project stem back to 1874 with the
discovery of alluvial leads interpreted to be sourced from the eroded hard-rock deposit.
Alluvial leads were quickly traced back to the hard-rock source when artisanal mining
took place at this time.
• BHP Gold and subsequently Hargraves Resources mined the current pit between 1988-
1996 which closed primarily due to low gold prices in the middle-late 1990s. Gold
production comprised 145,000 ounces @ 1.5g/t Au which was mined and processed
onsite up until 1996.

GEOLOGY • Deposit type, geological setting, and style of
mineralisation.
• The London-Victoria Gold mine is the most significant mineralisation recognised within
EL7242. The area was originally mined as a series of separate underground workings
located along a north-south trend on a sheared volcanic/sediment contact, known as
the London-Victoria Fault. The Fault has a more competent andesite on the hanging
wall, with rheologically contrasting sediments and tuffs on the footwall.
• Pits/workings on this trend existed prior to the recent open pit mining, and from south
to north were; Victoria mine, Shaw’s open Cut, Gerbacs’ Open Cut and The London Mine
and workings near the Majors shaft. The most recent open cut mining of the workings
(1988-1995) produced a single elongate main pit covering the Victoria, Shaw’s and
London workings with a small separate pit at the northern end on the Majors workings.
• The gold mineralisation has been interpreted as both a narrow mineralised
shear/alteration zone in andesitic volcanics immediately adjacent to the steeply east
dipping London-Victoria Fault contact, and as a more diffuse fracture zone east of this
structure. Mineralisation dissipates to the north through the Majors pit as a series of
three narrow shears within the volcanics. Overall gold mineralisation is structurally
controlled, with quartz veining and sericite, silica, chlorite, pyrite a
