Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) has completed the heritage survey at MacDonnell Creek to facilitate infill and extensional drilling about historical drill intercepts. The survey covered 17 line kms over three priority areas to enable the planned stage one (2,000m) Aircore drill program at MacDonnell Creek. The drilling and associated on-site service contracts are being finalized, with the program expected to commence this quarter.
With our heritage clearances now completed, we have finalized the key administration and access requirements to enable us to shortly commence a cost-effective aircore drilling program at MacDonnell. We would like to thank and acknowledge the assistance of the Dieri people in coordinating this program. Our stage one program will consist of up to 20 holes, aimed at tracing, extending, and testing the uranium redox boundaries previously intersected at MacDonnell Creek. The average depth of the holes will be around 100 meters. Testing will be conducted on-site using pXRF and wireline logging to identify samples for follow-up laboratory-based assaying.
Adavale Resources Limited (ASX:ADD) has completed the heritage survey at MacDonnell Creek, South Australia, to facilitate infill and extensional drilling about historical drill intercepts. The company is set to commence a 2,000m Aircore drill program at MacDonnell Creek, targeting extensions of the known mineralization and minor infilling about the historical drill holes. Adavale's tenure in the Marree Embayment makes it one of the largest public-listed license holders in the region, and the company has also applied for a large uranium project area east of Ceduna in South Australia, bringing the total company holding to approximately 6,100km2. The MacDonnell Creek and George Creek prospects are proximal to the uranium-rich Mount Babbage and Mount Painter Inliers of the northern Flinders Ranges. Adavale's next key steps include finalizing contracts for drilling and downhole logging services, field exploration of the Marree Embayment Project, and finalizing plans for the first pass drill program at the Depocentre prospect, Mundowdna. The company acknowledges the Dieri and Adnyamathanha as Traditional Custodians of the land on which their current works are located and is committed to conducting its activities with respect to the communities in which it operates.
