## Minestarters Atlas summary

Adavale Resources has expanded its Parkes project gold resource to 383,300oz from 13.45Mt at 0.89g/t Au. The update includes significant growth at the London-Victoria deposit and the addition of new inferred resources at Victoria South, Armstrongs, and Calarie.

Reasoning: The company has rapidly built a 383koz gold resource from zero in 20 months, significantly increasing the scale of the Parkes project.

- 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: Transition from purely historical data to modern drilling-supported resource

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: The project had no gold mineral resource reported in January 2025.

Evidence · text

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

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: The total resource inventory has grown significantly from zero to 13.45Mt.

Evidence · text

> built up an inventory of 13.45Mt at 0.89g/t Au for 383,300oz of contained gold

#### Tags used in scoring

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: category is "indicated"

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade is stated

**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.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

## 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.
