ANR has previously carried out substantial exploration on the project, managed by ADA Strategic - a local consulting group. This initial program was carried out in a small percentage of the concession area and a program to identify total potential resources and reserves is being planned.
During the quarter the company held meetings with members of local government, the mines department and local communities in preparation for required exploration activities.
Since ANR completed the initial exploration program, there have been changes in the boundaries of the communities, and accordingly there was the need to meet with the new communities to clarify the company’s intentions and to understand community expectations.

AUSTRALIA
LAKE SURPRISE - SOUTH AUSTRALIA (100% ARL)
Adavale’s sedimentary uranium project at Lake Surprise in South Australia comprises EL 3622 and EL 3620 over an area of 1,836km[2] . Two prospect areas – Clayton Basin and Mumpie - have been the focus of exploration to date.
ADD is in the process of renewing the exploration licences and complying with rehabilitation obligations. It is the company’s opinion that the area holds significant potential and only a very small percentage of that potential has been explored to date.
A detailed report on the project will be completed in due course. The Company will then consider whether to look for joint venture partners to continue the exploration program.
