Adavale Resources Limited announced that the first team has arrived on site and commenced the gravity survey, a key component of the Company's 2022 exploration program. Additional teams are planned to expedite the work in order to cover all the Company's southern prospecting licences. In the later part of 2021 Adavale introduced gravity surveying into its target selection techniques. The addition of gravity to its magnetics and electromagnetic techniques significantly improved the Company's success in identifying mafic-ultramafic intrusions under cover and directly led to the identification of mafic-ultramafic intrusions at Targets 7, 16 and 21. The Company has designed and is now implementing a large ground-based gravity survey program encompassing the entire southern Licence area of the Kabanga Jirani Nickel Project. The survey will be conducted on 400m spaced lines with readings taken every 100m. Approximately 24,000 gravity readings will be collected with approximately 5,400 in Kabanga East, 11,200 in Kabanga NE, 2,900 in Kabanga North and 4,400 in Kabanga West. The Company anticipates the deployment of up to four gravity survey crews to fast-track the program. Surveying has commenced with an initial crew on site with an additional two crews anticipated on site by early April and depending on progress, a further crew will be deployed during April. The focus of the initial crew is the completion of a more detailed survey over the Luhuma Corridor which is an under explored area of known mineralised mafic-ultramafic intrusions. Within the Luhuma corridor is the historic drillhole LUH06 which returned an intersection of 1.14% Ni over 8.4m and Adavale's Target 7 drill hole RCDDKNE 13-07-02. This drillhole intersected finely disseminated sulphide mineralisation hosted within a mafic intrusion over a broad interval of 248m until the end of hole. The possible geophysical correlation between Target 7 and LUH06. The more detail Luhuma Corridor survey, which will be conducted on a tighter 150m line spacing with
100m station spacing, will involve a total of approximately 1,250 station readings. This priority program is expected to take between 2 and 3 weeks to complete. Updates on the progress of this priority gravity survey program area and the broader regional program over the various Licence areas will be reported on a regular basis.
