Coffee with Samso Episode 151 is with Adavale Resources Ltd (ASX:ADD) executive director David Riekie.
The company is currently completing a fund raising exercise and it gives current shareholders a great opportunity to participate. There appears to be a lot of exploration activities happening in the coming months.
Location of the East African Nickel Belt with geological setting.
David gives us a breakdown on what is happening with Adavale as they move into another period of exploration activities. As the company moves into the next phase of exploration, David explains why the East African Nickel Belt is important, and why Adavale will be benefiting from the lack of historical exploration.
As I decipher the conversation, I feel that Adavale is benefiting from a dominant land holding in this nickel belt. There are not too many stories where a small cap company is holding this position.
The nearest analogy for me is when the Yamarna Greenstone Belt was predominantly controlled by Gold Road Resources Limited. They held a similar dominant position like Adavale. That land holding has now allowed the company to be the owner of over 9M ounces of gold.
