  • The company’s Parkes tenure now covers about 610km² across roughly 70km of strike.
  • Adavale added further licences and the Calarie Mining Lease in June 2026.
  • London-Victoria carries an established gold resource and remains the main near-term drilling focus.

Adavale Resources (ASX:ADD) has risen 14.29% as the company turns its Parkes position into a broader belt-scale gold and copper strategy. The portfolio now covers about 610 square kilometres across roughly 70 kilometres of contiguous strike in the Lachlan Fold Belt, following further acquisitions in June. With a Market Capitalisation of about AUD 15.76mn, Adavale remains a penny stock, but its exploration thesis is increasingly built around resource growth at London-Victoria and a much larger regional target pipeline.

Parkes Footprint Expands

Adavale added further exploration licences and the Calarie Mining Lease in June, consolidating a larger section of the Parkes Thrust. The broader land package gives the company more room to pursue both brownfields resource growth and new discovery targets.

London-Victoria Remains the Anchor

The historic London-Victoria mine is the company’s main near-term development opportunity. Drilling has been aimed at expanding mineralisation below the existing pit and upgrading the resource base.

Two-Rig Program Accelerates Resource Work

Adavale has operated two rigs at site as it works toward a resource update and subsequent scoping and metallurgical studies. Those steps will be important in determining whether the historic mine can support a modern redevelopment case.

What to Watch

Further drill assays, a resource update, scoping work and regional targets across the expanded Parkes tenure are the main areas to monitor.

Risks

Adavale remains pre-production and faces drilling, resource, metallurgy and funding risk. Historical mining infrastructure does not guarantee that a modern restart will be economic.
