EXPLORATION

The principal activity of the Group during the period was mineral exploration in Tanzania and Australia. The following sets out the major changes to the Company from both a corporate and operational perspective during the reporting period and up to the date writing.

Board Structure and Objectives

On 27 August 2020 a new Board and Company Secretary were appointed comprising Grant Pierce OAM (Chairman), Rod Chittendon (Non-Executive Director), Steven Georgiadis (Non-Executive Director) and Julian Rockett (Company Secretary). Allan Ritchie was subsequently appointed as Chief Executive Officer on 8 September 2020.

The new Board recapitalised the Company to ensure on ground exploration of the Kabanga North and Kabanga North East tenements could commence under strict technical guidance and in a cost effective manner.

As noted below the new Board and management undertook a number of initiatives during the period including removing all historical debt, fund raising via a Share Purchase Plan and a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. Additionally, Adavale acquired strategically significant UNDP and BHP data which underpinned the acquisition of four additional tenements with another currently under application in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. The Company commenced its initial exploration program in November 2020.

Further details of these initiatives are provided below.

Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project - High Grade Nickel Sulphide Exploration in Tanzania

The Company first initiated its entry into the nickel sulphide exploration program in Tanzania when it applied for the first two nickel tenements in January 2020, adjoining the world famous Kabanga Nickel Sulphide Deposit. These tenements were granted in March 2020 for a period of 5 years.

ADAVALE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Following the appointment of the new Board and management at the end of August 2020, the Company obtained the historical and comprehensive UNDP and BHP exploration data package. The package comprises a significant body of exploration work undertaken in Tanzania’s Kagera Nickel Belt region between the mid-1970’s and 2008 including:

  • Airborne EM and aeromagnetic survey

  • baseline geology mapping

  • Geochemical assays over much of the region

The wealth of relevant data contained in the package guided Adavale’s technical team to recommend the application for additional prospecting licences. The Company subsequently applied for the Kabanga East, Kabanga West, Burigi and Burigi North Licences.

Adavale has at the time of writing, been granted 6 licences, with a further licence under application namely Ruiza North East, that all surround or are proximal to the world class Kabanga Nickel Project (58Mt @ 2.62% Ni). The licences have collectively been named the Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project, Jirani is the Swahili word meaning ‘neighbour’.

The initial exploration program in the Kagera Region, North West Tanzania commenced in mid-November and by 30 December 2020 all samples had been delivered to SGS’s laboratory for analysis.

Numerous geochemical anomalies were identified in the field using portable XRF equipment which gives sufficiently accurate metal analysis for the purpose of this program. The XRF readings are indicating the presence of mineralisation over a significant percentage of the areas being explored and the readings continue in the pits to depth. In total 41 pits were dug to depths of up to 1m to 5m and a total of 607 soil and rock chip samples were delivered to SGS’s laboratory.

ADAVALE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The MSA Group from South Africa were appointed technical consultants for the company. The MSA team has an in-depth understanding of the geology and mineralisation controls of deposits within the East African Nickel belt and a track record of discovery success.

Dave Dodd, Head of Geology and principal consultant at the MSA Group in South Africa, has been appointed as the

Company’s competent person for ASX JORC reporting requirements. His in-depth understanding of nickelsulphide deposits is arguably unparalleled and he is considered a leader in his field.

Australia – Lake Surprise Tenements

The Company retains the three prospective uranium tenements in South Australia

CORPORATE

Conversion of Convertible Note

In September 2020 a binding agreement was executed with the then recent acquirers of the $1M face value convertible note to convert 100% of their interest, at a significant premium to the then current share price. The $1M face-value convertible note together with accrued interest at 8% per annum from 28 April 2017 was agreed to be converted per the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement at a price of 5 cents per ordinary fully paid share, which would remove all long-term debt from the Company’s balance sheet.

Share Placements

On 6 October 2020 the Company announced a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) whereby each eligible shareholder under the SPP was provided with the opportunity to acquire up to $30,000 worth of shares at an issue price of $0.03 (subject to scale-back at Adavale’s absolute discretion), without paying any brokerage fees, commissions or other transaction costs. As a result, the Company raised $1,290,000 from the SPP culminating in the issue of only 43,000,000 new shares.

In December Adavale issued a further 35,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares raising a further $1,400,000 at $0.04 per share (excluding fees) from institutional and sophisticated investors by way of a placement which included the issue on a 1 :4 basis of 8,750,000 options expiring in Dec 2022 with a $0.06 exercise price.

Also, in December 2020, and in accordance with approvals provided at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 December 2020, the Company issued 10,591,868 shares at various prices to various service providers to the Company as an alternative to making cash payments, thus conserving cash for the continued exploration effort of the Company. Additionally, 8,750,000 options were issued as part consideration to joint lead managers on the same terms as attached options to the above placement.

As a part of the terms for issue of the above options, Adavale, at their discretion, has the ability to cause the exercise at $0.06 should the 10-day VWAP reach $0.12. The exercise of these options would bring a further $1,050,000 in to Adavale, and like all capital raised by the new board of Adavale the lion’s share will be applied to exploration.

Ironside Capital, Foster Stockbroking and Taylor Collison acted as Joint Lead Managers to this raise which attracted multiple world class institutions to the register including Ausbil Global Resources.

Capital Structure

The Company’s summarised capital structure as of 31 December 2020 is as follows:

Issued fully paid ordinary shares: 285,532,677
Options @ $0.06 Exp. 31 Dec 2022 15,500,000
Options @ $0.06 Exp. 11 Dec 2022 2,000,000

Tanzanian Presidential Elections

His Excellency John Pombe Magufuli was re-elected as President of Tanzania for a second 5-year term in October 2020. As cited in numerous press articles the President spoke publicly that his second 5-year term will be focused on attracting foreign investment in mining (http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/202011/13/c_139514401.htm). He appointed his new Cabinet and Minister Doto Biteko has retained his position of Minister of Minerals providing stability for the sector Professor Shukrani Manya (previously Executive Secretary of the Mining Commission) was appointed Deputy Minister of Minerals.

This Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes 13

ADAVALE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half year ended 31 December 2020

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Adavale Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) principal activities of the consolidated entity during the period include energy and mineral exploration in Australia and Tanzania.

Further detailed information on the changes in corporate ownership and strategy can be found in the Directors’ Report above.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

The half year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting as well as International Financial Reporting Standards.

It is recommended that this half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Adavale Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001. The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as referred to below, the interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these interim financial statements. The Group is a for-profit entity.

The interim financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in the full financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report. It is recommended interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the full financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Adavale Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

In the half year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.

It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half year ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. These half-year financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 9 March 2021.

For the purposes of preparing the half-yearly financial statements the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

14

ADAVALE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half year ended 31 December 2020

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Company’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Going Concern

The Group is at the exploration and evaluation phase of each of its mining tenements.

The Group has incurred a loss from continuing operations for the period of $837,188. The Group had a cash outflow from operating activities of $453,356, while over the same period raised an amount of $2,660,867 cash from placement of shares, and additionally converted the company debt and accrued interest on the convertible note at 30 November 2020, and payment of certain services by way of share issue. At period end, the Group’s cash reserves were $2,293,159, and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $2,143,543.

On the basis of the above the Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

5. COMMITMENTS

There is no material change to the commitments disclosed by the Group in its 30 June 2020 annual report.

6. CONTINGENCIES

There are no contingencies identified by the Board as at 31 December 2020.

7. SEGMENT REPORTING

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on the basis of its Tanzanian and Australian corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Adavale Resources Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Adavale Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, for the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Adavale Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
