Fact:

The Hishikari mine in Japan has produced 6.2Moz of gold from ore grading 49g/t gold.

It is a classic example of an epithermal style deposit.

Ounce per tonne gold grades

in rock chip samples from South West Limey Dam

Summary

Rockchip sample assaying 31.0g/t gold at a newly discovered vein at South West Limey Dam prospect.

Another sample assaying 34.2g/t gold was collected from second vein where 55.4g/t gold was also noted in previous work. These results highlight the potential to discover a high grade gold deposit at Drummond.

A maiden drill programme at South West Limey Dam is scheduled once the current drilling programme on the Eyre Peninsula is completed.

An aboriginal heritage survey was recently completed over the entire South West Limey Dam prospect by the Native Title Claimants. No exclusion zones were set allowing the Company flexibility in siting drill holes.

Surface mapping has located an outcrop of sinter, a rock type that forms at the very top of an epithermal system. The presence of sinter implies that a complete sub-surface epithermal system, including any gold zone, will be

preserved at depth. This new target is named Max's Sinter.

Introduction

Adelaide Resources holds EPM 18090 and EPMA 25660 in the Drummond Basin in Queensland (Figure 1). The Drummond Basin is prospective for high grade epithermal gold deposits exemplified
by the Pajingo Field which to date has produced over 3 million ounces of gold.
The Company's project includes the South West Limey Dam prospect where previous work has confirmed the presence
of a large gold-bearing epithermal system.
Further rockchip sampling was completed recently in conjunction with an aboriginal heritage survey.

Rockchips return more high grades

Eleven rockchip samples collected from various locations around the South West Limey Dam prospect were submitted for laboratory assay. Results confirm that five of the samples contain greater than
1.0g/t gold, with two of these samples returning ounce/tonne grades
of 31.0g/t gold and 34.2g/t gold.
The new rockchip assay results are tabulated in Table 1 and their locations are shown on Figure 2.
The sample assaying 31.0g/t gold was taken from a newly located east-west trending vein that falls in the central northern part of the prospect where

we interpret the gold zone to be at or near surface (Figure 2). This new vein is named Alexandra.

The sample assaying 34.2g/t gold is from a previously located vein where past rockchips have returned results of 55.4g/t gold and 9.32g/t gold supporting its high grade character. This vein is now designated Nadia. This vein also trends east-west and is located about 100 metres
south of the Alexandra vein (Figure 2).
Samples collected from a north-south vein located on the western boundary of the prospect, now named the Anna vein, include results to 1.61g/t gold, building on a cluster of strongly anomalous rockchips taken over a
300 metre strike length (Figure 2).

We interpret the gold zone target in the Anna vein area to be transitioning from near surface in the north to deeper in
the south, with the gold-bearing samples signalling the top of a gold zone that is potentially largely preserved at depth.

Native Title and aboriginal heritage

In another positive development for the Drummond project, an Exploration Agreement has been finalised and executed with the Native Title Claimants to the two Drummond tenements,
the Birriah People.
A recent aboriginal heritage survey has been completed over an area that includes both the South West Limey Dam and Limey Dam prospects (Figure 3).

The survey did not identify any sites where future exploration activities are restricted, giving the Company flexibility in the design of its planned drilling programme.

Drill program

The Company is planning to commence its maiden drill programme at the South West Limey Dam prospect once the current drilling programme on the Eyre Peninsula is completed. The Alexandra, Nadia and Anna veins will be among the first targets tested.
The drill programme will in part be funded through a grant of up to $100,000 from
the Queensland Government through
its Collaborative Drilling Initiative scheme.

New target - Max's Sinter

Surface mapping in the vicinity of the South West Limey Dam has located an outcrop interpreted to be a sinter (Max's Sinter), located about
1 km southeast of the main South West
Limey Dam prospect (Figure 1).
In epithermal systems, sinters form as flat lying terraces of banded silica at the land surface around volcanic hot springs. A well-known example of a sinter terrace occurs at the Champaign Pool near Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island.
The presence of a sinter implies that
the entire underlying epithermal system, including any associated gold-bearing zone, will remain preserved at depth,
and Max's Sinter represents a new target in this emerging epithermal field.

Third Party interest may present alternate funding options

The promising potential revealed through Adelaide Resources' successful early exploration programmes has prompted interest from a number of Australian
listed gold producers wishing to review the project. The Company has engaged with these groups to explore whether
a compelling funding option exists
to see exploration accelerated and expanded.

Vein photographs

The photographs below illustrate the similarity between the high grade veins collected from surface outcrops at South West Limey Dam and a high grade vein from the Pajingo mine.
All three veins display banded botryoidal coliform texture and possible ginguro bands (the thin darker bands), and it is likely the three veins formed under essentially identical physical, chemical and geological conditions.
The photo on the left is of a vein sample collected from an underground ore heading in the Zed Lode at Evolution Mining Limited's Pajingo Mine. It assays 26.2g/t gold. Pajingo is a profitable operation that has produced over 3 million ounces of gold.
The photo in the middle is a sample from the Nadia vein at South West Limey Dam which assays 34.2g/t gold. The photo on the right is of the recently discovered Alexandra vein, located about 100 metres north of the Nadia vein. It assays 31.0g/t gold. The similar textures and high gold grades of the South West Limey Dam veins to the Pajingo vein provide further encouragement in the potential of the South West Limey Dam prospect.

• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

• In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

• Rock chip samples were collected on an opportunistic basis from outcropping veins displaying epithermal textures and the vein host rocks.

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Mineral

tenement

and land tenure status

• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements of material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, overriding royalties, native titles interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

• The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along

with any known impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the area.

• The area the subject of this report falls within EPM

18090, which is 100% owned by Adelaide Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adelaide Resources

Limited.

The tenement area is covered by a Native Title claim and an Exploration Agreement has been executed with the Native Title Claimants. The report advises that an aboriginal heritage survey has been completed and did not locate any areas that are required to be excluded

form exploration. Part of the tenement falls within Restricted Area 206 - Burdekin Falls Dam Catchment.

• EPM 18090 is in good standing.

Exploration

done by other parties

• Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

• The general area the subject of this report has been explored in the past by various companies including Cormepar Minerals, Otter Exploration, Hunter Resources, Poseidon Gold, Dalrymple Resources and MIM Exploration. The Company has reviewed past exploration data generated

by these companies.

Geology

• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

• Deposits in the general region are considered to be of low sulphidation epithermal vein style.

Drill hole

Information

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:

Drill - Discover - Develop P a g e | 8

o Down hole length and interception depth.

o Hole length.

• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the axis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not

detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent

Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

Data

aggregation methods

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/ or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in some detail.

• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

• The report does not include drilling results.

Relationship

between mineralisati on widths and intercept lengths

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

• The report does not include drilling results.

Diagrams

• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

• Appropriate maps are included as Figures 1 to 3 in the report.

Balanced

Reporting

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

• Results of all geochemical data are presented in Table

1 of the report.

Other substantive exploration data

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, ground water, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

• Historic rock chip sample results are discussed and shown on Figure 2.

Further

work
