ISSUED CAPITAL
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) (“or the Company”) is pleased
to advise that two diamond drill rigs are now underway at the Kabanga
Jirani Nickel Project in Tanzania (Figure 1).
Following the intersection of 4.15m of massive nickel sulphide associated
with a mafic-ultramafic intrusion between 223.35m and 227.50m in
drillhole DDLUHC001, the rig has commenced DDLUHC002 in an up dip
position, indicated by AMT to be potentially more favourable (Figure 2)1.
