(TSXV: AVA) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of a targeted resampling program on the historic core samples from the TL Nickel Property located 50km northwest of the Voisey's bay mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (the \"Property\"). This initiative forms a critical component of the preparatory work for a drilling project scheduled for 2023.The Company gained access to the core storage facility in Happy Valley - Goose Bay, NL, managed by the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador where all the historical core for the Property is stored. The focus of the program is to identify geological controls on mineralization and gain important information from intervals lacking complete assays for critical elements such as cobalt, platinum, palladium, and gold. This includes a detailed review of diamond drill core samples from the Long Pond and All-About-It zones. Historic Grade Highlights being investigated in further detail:C1-2 (Long Pond): Historic grade of 0.72% Ni, 0.38% Cu over 3.72m C1-4 (Long Pond): Historic grade of 0.63% Ni, 0.35% Cu over 3.48mC3-2 (All-About-It): Historic Grade of 0.47% Ni, 0.16% Cu over 23.7mOther Drilling Highlights with existing complete assays include:08-LP-55 (Long Pond): 0.80% Ni, 0.85% Cu, 0.03% Co, 0.36 g/t PGE + Au over 14m08-AA-60 (All About-it): 1.02% Ni, 0.51% Cu, 0.03% Co, 0.35 g/t PGE + Au over 14m08-AA-62 (All About-it): 0.42% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.19 g/t PGE + Au over 36m08-NB-64 (No Baccy): 0.75% Ni, 0.22% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.32 g/t PGE + Au over 6mCEO of Avante Mining, Adrian Smith, shared, \"This pre-emptive resampling allows us to gain valuable insight into the geology controlling the distribution of mineralization within the system. It not only aids in verifying historic grades but also allows us to gain insight into the distribution of these overlooked critical elements. This work represents a small but important step and will be incorporated into our geological modeling and targeting for the planned 2023 field work and drilling program.\"Historic drilling in the Property focused on at-surface, shallow-targets along two NNW-trending EM anomalies associated with steeply dipping mafic dykes. Minimal work has been done to understand t...
