ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
26 August 2026
FINAL ASSAYS DELIVER
10m @ 3.69g/t Au & 7m @ 5.97g/t Au
HEADING INTO MRE UPDATE
Assay results have been received for the final 5 drillholes from Adavale’s 85-hole
resource drillout at the London-Victoria Gold Mine, completing the assay dataset
ahead of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate scheduled for release in the
coming weeks.
The final batch continues the pattern of broad gold intersections and high-grade
mineralisation returned throughout the program, with the principal intercepts
again sitting outside the modelled limits of the existing 115koz Mineral Resource
Estimate.
Highlights include:
• 20.95m @ 2.25g/t Au from 278m including:
o 10m @ 3.69g/t Au from 278m
o 5m @ 1.84g/t Au from 292m (ALD003)
• 17m @ 1.38g/t Au from 295m including:
o 5m @ 3.24g/t Au from 306m (ALRC081)
• 39m @ 1.01g/t Au from 140m including:
o 6m @ 2.01g/t Au from 140m; and
o 8m @ 1.21g/t Au from 169m (ALRC080)
• 7m @ 5.97g/t Au from 202m (ALRC080)
With 82 RC holes and 3 diamond drillholes now assayed, Adavale’s entire drillout dataset
is available for the upcoming MRE, noting that none of these 85 drillholes are included in
the existing London-Victoria Mineral Resource of 3.8Mt @ 0.95g/t Au for 115koz, which
was constructed entirely from historical drilling.
Adavale Resources Managing Director, Mr. David Ward, commented:
“The final 5 drillholes have delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect from the London-Victoria drillout
– wide and locally high-grade intercepts sitting outside the current resource envelope. ALD003 in
particular, returning 10m @ 3.69g/t Au within a broader 21m zone, reinforces the depth continuity we’ve
been building through the program.
With the complete assay dataset now available, our focus shifts to geological interpretation and resource
estimation. The updated Mineral Resource will provide the first comprehensive measure of what
Adavale’s 85-hole program has delivered and an important technical foundation for the next phase of
work at London-Victoria.”

Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) (“Adavale” or the “Company”), an Australian junior
explorer/developer focused on gold and copper in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, is
pleased to report assay results from a further 5 drillholes of the London-Victoria resource drillout,
comprising 3 reverse circulation holes and 2 diamond drillholes for 1,717m.
Figure 2: Cross Section showing position and gold results for ALD003 relative to the historic London-
Victoria Open Pit (Section Line A-A’ displayed in Figure 1)
Receipt of these results completes assay reporting for all 82 RC holes and 3 diamond drillholes
completed by Adavale at London-Victoria since the project was acquired just 19 months ago,
providing the complete dataset required to advance the updated Mineral Resource Estimate.
ALD003 was drilled oblique to the line of mineralisation, the section (figure 2) shows a composite
high-grade intercept of 20.95m @ 2.25g/t Au from 278m using a 4m internal dilution and includes
10m @ 3.69g/t Au from 278m and 5m @ 1.84g/t Au from 292m.

FINAL ASSAYS CONTINUE TO DELIVER GOLD OUTSIDE THE CURRENT MRE
All 5 drillholes in the final assay batch returned reportable gold mineralisation, with the principal
intersections located outside the modelled limits of the existing London-Victoria Mineral Resource
Estimate (“MRE”).
Diamond drillhole ALD003 returned:
• 10m @ 3.69g/t Au from 278m; and
• 6.95m @ 1.39g/t Au from 292m, including 5m @ 1.84g/t Au.
ALRC080 returned a broad intersection of 39m @ 1.01g/t Au from 140m, including 6m @ 2.01g/t
Au from 140m and 8m @ 1.21g/t Au from 169m. A separate, higher-grade zone returned 8m @
5.27g/t Au from 202m, including 7m @ 5.97g/t Au.
5
ALRC081 returned 17m @ 1.38g/t Au from 295m, including 5m @ 3.24g/t Au from 306m.
Further significant mineralisation was returned in ALD002, including 13m @ 1.18g/t Au from 127m,
with a higher-grade interval of 6m @ 1.87g/t Au from 132m. ALRC082 also returned 12m @ 0.63g/t
Au from 247m, including 6m @ 0.96g/t Au from 252m.
These results provide important additional information on the continuity, geometry and grade
distribution of the London-Victoria mineralised system and will be incorporated into the updated
geological interpretation and Mineral Resource model.
A SIGNIFICANT STEP IN ADAVALE’S EVOLUTION
Completion of the 85-hole program and receipt of all outstanding assays represents a significant
step in Adavale’s evolution at London-Victoria.
The Company is now moving from a phase focused on executing and reporting a systematic
resource drill-out to one focused on quantifying the scale and quality of the mineralised system
and assessing its potential development pathway.
The existing London-Victoria Inferred MRE of 3.8Mt @ 0.95g/t Au for 115koz Au, reported at a
0.25g/t Au cut-off, was constructed entirely from historical drilling. None of the 82 RC holes or 3
diamond drillholes completed by Adavale are included in the existing estimate.
The completed drilling program therefore represents a substantial body of new geological,
structural and assay information with which to update the London-Victoria resource model.
UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
With the complete assay dataset now available, Adavale’s immediate focus is the completion of
final data validation, geological and structural interpretation, three-dimensional modelling and
Mineral Resource estimation.
The updated MRE will provide the first comprehensive assessment of the impact of Adavale’s 85-
hole drilling program on the tonnes, grade, contained gold and classification of the London-Victoria
Mineral Resource.
Completion of the updated MRE is targeted for Q3 CY2026. The outcome will establish an important
new technical baseline for London-Victoria and assist Adavale in determining the priorities for the
next phase of project advancement.
SCOPING STUDY TO FOLLOW
Following completion of the updated MRE, Adavale intends to advance a Scoping Study for London-
Victoria.
The Scoping Study will use the updated geological and Mineral Resource models, together with the
results of metallurgical testwork, to assess potential mining and processing pathways,
development scale, infrastructure requirements and preliminary capital and operating
parameters.
This work will provide Adavale with an initial technical and economic framework through which to
assess the project’s development alternatives and define the additional drilling, metallurgical,
environmental and engineering work required to progress London-Victoria.

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.
• The quality of reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling is generally medium–high because the
method significantly reduces the potential of contamination, unless there is a lot of groundwater
or badly broken ground. Consequently, these samples can be representative of the interval
drilled and therefore can be used for Mineral Resource estimation.
• RC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples collected through a rig mounted cyclone and then
using a rig mounted cone splitter to produce an approximately 3kg sample split for assay.
• The samples were then dispatched to the Onsite Laboratory Services laboratory in Bendigo. The
samples were then crushed and pulverised to produce a 25g charge for fire assay with an AAS
(atomic absorption spectroscopy) finish for gold determination, with a 0.01ppm detection limit.
• Drill chips were logged by a trained geologist.
• Duplicate samples were collected approximately every 20 samples and submitted to the
laboratory. Duplicates intervals were selected within zones of visual mineralisation by the onsite
geologist.
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).
• RC drilling was completed using a 140mm face sampling bit and hammer.
• Diamond drilling was completed PQ for the upper oxidised portions and HQ for the remainder
DRILL SAMPLE
RECOVERY
• 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.
• All samples were dry and RC drilling recoveries recorded.
• Sample recoveries were considered to be good and within acceptable tolerance for RC drilling.
• All diamond drilling recoveries were good.
