ASX: ADD
Drilling underway at Lake Surprise Uranium Project, South Australia
-
The shallow 4,500m air-core drill program will target mineralisation at an average depth of 30 metres
-
Drilling campaign estimated to take 3 weeks with on-site pXRF assessment prior to dispatching samples for assay to Adelaide
-
Lab results expected during March 2023
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) ( ADD or the Company ) is pleased to advise that its drilling contractor has mobilised to site to commence a 4,500m aircore drill program that will test the shallow (~30m) uranium targets at the Company’s 100% owned Lake Surprise Uranium Project ( Lake Surprise ), located in South Australia.
The Company’s tenements are prospective for uranium hosted within a silcrete capped palaeochannel in close proximity to the Flinders Ranges in northern region of South Australia.
The drilling will be undertaken using a truck mounted aircore rig that enables a cost-effective program with a low environmental footprint. Samples will be geologically logged and our field team will record and log gamma readings and portable XRF results, prior to dispatching the samples to Adelaide for analysis.

ABOUT ADAVALE
Adavale Resources is an ASX-listed exploration company targeting projects in the 'battery materials‘ space. The company is currently focused on both its 100% owned Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project and 2 Farm-in ‘Luhuma’ licences adjacent and along strike from the world’s largest undeveloped high grade NiS resource of 58Mt @ 2.62% Ni. Adavale is also progressing exploration on its 100% owned uranium tenements in South Australia
Adavale’s Executive Director, Mr David Riekie commented:
“The current program will assess a palaeochannel structure over an area of 1.5km by 1km, which is part of a much larger prospective area that strikes to over 8km.
The grid pattern has been designed to provide significant information about the palaeochannel, historical flow directions and assess trap zones.
Whilst we will obtain real-time information from the gamma logs and XRF readings, we will only really understand the full implications of the program when the assay results are returned in March.”

Current drilling will be undertaken on Adavale’s EL5893, situated at Clayton Station 70km east of Marree. The sites for the 150 proposed drillholes were pegged during field surveys in July 2022. A high-resolution image mosaic was produced using drones to identify the site of each hole and record the condition of each site for subsequent rehabilitation.
A summary of the planned drilling is shown below in Figure 1.

ABOUT ADAVALE
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) is a nickel sulphide exploration company that holds 100% of the Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project, a portfolio of nine highly prospective granted licences covering ~1,212km[2] along the Karagwe-Ankolean belt in Tanzania. The six southernmost licences are proximal to the world-class Kabanga Nickel Deposit (58Mt @ 2.62% Ni). Adavale has farmed-in to two more highly prospective licences contiguous to our six southernmost licences, adding a further 99km[2] to the portfolio 1,311sq km). Adavale’s licences were selected based on their strong geochemical and geophysical signatures from the previous exploration undertaken by BHP.
Adavale also holds exploration licences for their sedimentary uranium potential within the northern part of the highly prospective Lake Frome Embayment in South Australia. Drilling is planned for Lake Surprise in early 2023.
