ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
11 June 2026
Adavale Sharpens Gold-and Copper Focus with Sale of Marree
Embayment Uranium Portfolio
o Adavale (ASX:ADD) has entered into a binding term sheet with Orpheus Uranium
Limited (ASX:ORP) for the sale of its Marree Embayment Uranium Portfolio
o Total consideration of $650,000 cash and 5,000,000 ORP shares (~1.4% of ORP issued
capital)
o The sale portfolio is a contiguous package of 7 granted exploration licences (EL’s)
covering 2,513km² on the northern flank of South Australia's Flinders Ranges
o Adavale retains uranium price exposure via its meaningful ORP shareholding, with the
opportunity to participate in the value ORP can unlock from this proven uranium
province, 90km from the Beverley and Four Mile uranium mines
o Transaction follows Adavale’s recent acquisition along the Parkes Thrust corridor,
reinforcing disciplined portfolio execution
o Capital released supports Adavale's sharpened focus on the Belt-Scale Parkes Thrust
Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt (NSW), comprising a Mining Licence and 11 EL’s over
70km of contiguous strike, hosting a 166koz Au Mineral Resource including London-
Victoria and Calarie Mining Licence
o Builds on a long-standing collaboration and confidence in ORP to unlock value for ADD
shareholders
Adavale Resources Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Allan Ritchie, commented:
"This transaction is the second in a sequence of carefully managed corporate moves that reshape Adavale
into a focused gold-copper explorer-developer. Following our acquisition on 1 June, consolidating the
Parkes Thrust gold corridor, the transaction of our Marree Embayment uranium portfolio with Orpheus
(ASX:ORP) crystallises tangible value from a non-core asset while retaining meaningful exposure to the
uranium price through our ORP shareholding. We have a long and constructive working relationship with
the Orpheus team, built through our joint work on the ATLA and TDAC Native Title Mining Agreements
and we have every confidence in their ability to advance the Marree Embayment package and deliver
value for all stakeholders, ours included. The cash component of the consideration supports our
continued focus on the Belt-Scale Parkes Project, where we now control 70km of contiguous strike along
one of Australia's most prospective gold corridors."

Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) ("Adavale" or the "Company"), is pleased to advise it
has entered into a binding term sheet (Term Sheet) with Orpheus Uranium Ltd (Orpheus) for the
sale of its 100% owned Marree Embayment Uranium Portfolio of 7 contiguous licences (the
Transaction) for a total consideration of $650,000 cash and 5,000,000 ORP shares (~1.4% of ORP
issued capital).
The Marree Embayment Portfolio
The portfolio comprises 7 granted exploration licences (EL5892, EL5893, EL6553, EL6597, EL6598,
EL6821 and EL6890) covering a contiguous 2,513km² landholding on the northern flank of the
Flinders Ranges, approximately 550km north of Adelaide and 25km east of Marree, South Australia.
The package sits within a proven uranium province, located just 90km from the operating Beverley
and Four Mile Uranium mines.

Strategic Rationale
The Transaction sharpens Adavale's strategic focus on its core gold-copper assets within the Belt-
Scale Parkes Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW. Following the 1 June 2026 acquisition of
contiguous tenure along the Parkes Thrust corridor, Adavale now controls 12 granted exploration
licences and a Mining Licence across ~70km of contiguous strike, hosting a combined Mineral
Resource of 165,796 oz Au including the London-Victoria deposit and Calarie Gold Mining Licence
(ML739).1
The Transaction crystallises value from a non-core asset while preserving uranium price exposure
through Adavale's resulting shareholding in Orpheus. Cash consideration supports Adavale's
ongoing exploration programme at the Parkes Project, with the immediate focus on increasing and
upgrading the London-Victoria Resource.

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.
Calarie Gold Mining Licence (ML739) – Next Steps
• Magnetic Survey: In the light of the positive magnetics vs gold association at London-
Victoria airborne and/or ground-based magnetics will be assessed as a potential tool to
assist with targeting.
• Detailed Review and Interpretation to refine follow-up drill targets.
• RC and/or Diamond Drilling: Post detailed review and interpretation follow-up drilling of
high-grade drill results by OMX at the Calarie Gold Mine.
Next Steps at the Consolidated Belt-Scale Parkes Project
Multiple ongoing exploration efforts continue to take place at the Parkes Project simultaneously,
with key projects and milestones including:
• 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.
