  • Mr. Allan Ritchie transitioned to Executive Chairman on 31 October 2024
  • Adavale maintains a strong balance sheet following completion of the Tranche 2 Placement in January 2025

Adavale’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Allan Ritchie commented:

“The completion of both the Parkes Gold and Copper Project acquisition and recent Placement is a critical step forward for Adavale, with enough funding for exploration and drilling on the numerous highly prospective targets across our 4 licences located in the Lachlan Fold Belt, a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. One of Adavale’s licences also includes the London Victoria historic mine with a historic resource of 124koz Au that Adavale will work on upgrading to JORC-qualifying status.

In addition, the Adavale team have just returned from a site visit and are very excited with the Parkes Project and the opportunity it presents to develop solid shareholder value and we look forward to providing regular updates from the Parkes Project throughout the exploration programs ahead.”

Parkes Gold and Copper Project (NSW)

During the quarter, Adavale announced the acquisition of a 72.5% interest in the Parkes Gold and Copper Project (“Parkes Project”) on 29 November 2024. The acquisition was completed in January 2025. Refer to ASX announcement dated 29 November 2024 for the terms of the acquisition.

The Parkes Project is located within the prolific gold and copper producing Macquarie Arc portion of the Lachlan Fold Belt in central NSW – hosting some of Australia’s most prolific gold and copper mines. The acquisition includes four exploration tenements that encompass a total of 395km2 in an area that is adjacent to the Northparkes copper gold-mine, as well as Cadia-Ridgeway – a world-class deposit for copper and gold mineralisation.

The Exploration Licences (‘EL’s’) are situated where Early Ordovician-age Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt rocks of the western part of the Arc are intersected by the crustal-scale structural corridor of the Lachlan Transverse Zone (‘LTZ’). Significantly, the LTZ is host to Tier 1 gold and copper mines, such as Northparkes (5.2Moz Au & 4.4Mt Cu) and Cadia-Ridgeway (35.1Moz Au & 7.9Mt Cu) where it intersects Macquarie Arc rocks (Figure 1).

The Parkes Project’s most advanced prospect is the former London-Victoria Gold Mine which saw estimated historical production by BHP Gold and Hargraves of 200,000 to 250,000 ounces at a head grade of 1.5-2g/t Au. A Historical Estimate of 3.7Mt at 1.04g/t Au for 123.8koz Au was defined for London-Victoria.

At London-Victoria, it is intended to utilise the existing drillhole database, augmented by a small number of new well-targeted deeper holes, to estimate a Mineral Resource. This opportunity comes at relatively low cost and at a time of record gold prices. Recent diamond drilling at the mine intersected a 12m potential down-dip extension of the deposit to be confirmed with assay results expected soon.

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Project, Adavale received binding commitments to raise $1.675 million (before costs) through a placement to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors. Proceeds from the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration activities within the Parkes Project with a primarily focus on increasing and upgrading the London-Victoria resource to JORC-qualifying status.

NSW Government Approves Licence Transfer for Trigg’s Wild Cattle Creek Antimony Deposit

Trigg Minerals Limited (ASX: TMG| OTCQB: TMGLF) ("Trigg" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received approval from the NSW Government for the transfer of Exploration Licence 6388 (“the Tenement”) to Trigg. This approval marks a significant milestone for Trigg, enabling the Company to advance exploration and development of the 29.9kt Wild Cattle Creek antimony deposit, a key asset within its Achilles Project in northern NSW. The approval also facilitates the registration of the licence transfer under section 122(4) of the Mining Act 1992, a critical final step that allows Trigg to formally execute access applications with various landholders. As the Mining Act requires land access arrangements to be made by the registered holder of an Exploration Licence, securing this approval within a short timeframe positions Trigg to swiftly implement several access agreements and exploration strategies across the Tenement.
