Adavale Resources Limited announced 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 its field team will record and log gamma readings and portable XRF results, prior to dispatching the samples to Adelaide for analysis. 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. Adavale acknowledges the Dieri as Traditional Custodians of the land on which its current works are located. With respect to Elders past, present and emerging, Adavale is committed to conducting its activities with respect to the communities in which it operates.
