## Minestarters Atlas summary

Adavale Resources has expanded its Parkes gold project resource to 383,300oz of contained gold from a base of zero in early 2025. The update is driven by a modern 85-hole drilling campaign, significantly increasing the London-Victoria resource to 9.74Mt at 0.84g/t Au.

Reasoning: The announcement details a substantial expansion of the Parkes gold resource to 383koz, driven by a modern 85-hole drilling campaign and strategic acquisitions, significantly de-risking the project's foundation.

- Positive factor: Significant tonnage and grade growth at London-Victoria

- Positive factor: Expansion of resource inventory through new satellite targets

- Positive factor: High proportion of indicated resource \(48%\) at London-Victoria

- Positive factor: Successful transition from historical data to modern drilling campaign

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: London-Victoria resource grew from 3.8Mt to 9.74Mt

Evidence · text

> boost in the London-Victoria resource from the 3.8Mt at 0.95g/t Au for 115,000oz defined in May 2025 to 9.74Mt at 0.84g/t Au for 262,700oz

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: 48% of London-Victoria resource is in the indicated category

Evidence · text

> About 48% of the London-Victoria resource, or 126,200oz of contained gold, sits within the higher confidence indicated category

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable.

Why it applies: Project had no gold mineral resource reported when acquired in January 2025

Evidence · text

> When the original Parkes ground was first acquired in January 2025, the project had no gold mineral resource reported

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: Cut-off grades for oxide and sulphide material are explicitly stated

Evidence · text

> use cut-off grades of 0.20g/t Au for oxide and 0.25g/t Au for sulphide material

#### Tags used in scoring

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: category is "inferred"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**JORC Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes jorc

**No QP/CP Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: No Qualified Person or Competent Person named — lower credibility for the estimate. A QP/CP should be a member of a recognized professional association with relevant experience.

Why it applies: no Qualified or Competent Person is named anywhere in the release

**PEA-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
