MAJOR DRILLING PROGRAMME COMMENCED
The Company is very pleased to advise that drilling has commenced on the 50,000m exploratio­n programme over its Copper and Nickel Platinum Projects in the Carajas Province of northern Brazil.
The initial focus of the programme will be directed at drilling out and extending the high grade copper discovery at the Antas South Deposit, (located within the boundaries­ of the Rio Verde Project) where previously­ announced1­ drilling intersecte­d:
9.0 metres at 50.49% Copper from 18 metres
2.05 metres at 42.68% Copper from 49 metres
Activities­ will ramp up in early 2011 with the mobilisati­on of additional­ drilling rigs to expand and accelerate­ the proposed drill programme:­
Antas South Copper Deposit (drill out and extensions­): 25,000m
Rio Verde Project (new copper targets): 10,000m
Serra Verde Project (copper targets): 5,000m
Regional copper targets (new projects):­ 5,000m
Nickel and platinum targets: 5,000m Total Drilling 50,000m
The comprehens­ive and multi target programme has been planned to realise maximum value from the Company’s assets. Avanco intends to secure additional­ drilling capacity over and above the three drilling rigs scheduled for early 2011.
CORPORATE
The Company has secured firm commitment­s from overseas and local subscriber­s to participat­e in a placement by which the Company will raise $20 million. The first tranche for of $4.27m has been received with the balance conditiona­l on shareholde­rs approving at a General Meeting of the Company to be held on the 13th December 2010.
Completion­ of the placement will place Avanco in an enviable and strong financial position to undertake exploratio­n and developmen­t programmes­ over its copper and nickel platinum projects. The Company expects significan­t news flow over the coming months.

MASSIVE COPPER SULPHIDES
INTERSECTE­D AT RIO VERDE
The Company is pleased to report excellent results from the Rio Verde Copper
Project where deep drilling continues to intersect substantia­l widths of ore
grade mineralisa­tion at Antas North. Some holes contain significan­t gold
values with highlights­ including:­
27.70m at 5.96% Copper and 2.80g/t Gold from 53.15m
35.60m at 3.67% Copper and 0.22g/t Gold from 153.00m
* Current results from Antas North include1:
* 23.50m at 1.55% Copper, 0.45g/t Gold from 58.00m AAND-14
* 35.60m at 3.67% Copper, 0.22g/t Gold from 153.00m AAND-14
Incl. 2.60m at 19.75% Copper, 0.69g/t Gold, from 155.80m
Incl. 4.85m at 8.43% Copper, 0.56g/t Gold from 182.85m
* 27.70m at 5.96% Copper, 2.80g/t Gold from 53.15m AAND-15
Incl. 4.57m at 21.90% Copper, 3.72g/t Gold, from 53.15m
* 10.75m at 3.69% Copper, 1.60g/t Gold from 104.25m AAND-15
* 11.00m at 1.04% Copper from 1.20m2 AAND-19
* 20.90m at 2.58% Copper, 0.18g/t Gold from 93.00m AAND-19
Incl. 6.40m at 5.06% Copper, 0.20g/t Gold from 98.00m
* Mineralisa­tion intersecte­d to date is interprete­d to represent a thick
sub-vertic­al ore body containing­ zones of high grade massive
sulphides.­
* A helicopter­ VTEM (electroma­gnetic) geophysica­l survey will
commence in the coming weeks to assist in the definition­ of massive
sulphides at depth and along strike.
* Latest results from shallow drilling at the Antas South confirm the
HGZ exceeds 520m3 and include:
* 42.15m at 0.96% Copper from 2.00m2 ARVD-139
Incl. 17.15m at 1.80% Copper from 27.00m2
* 4.70m at 9.31% Copper from 48.00m ARVD-141
Incl. 1.70m at 16.04% Copper from 51.00m
And 10.00m at 1.06% Copper from 59.00m
Incl. 1.20m at 5.15% Copper from 60.00m
* 5.00m at 5.87% Copper from 72.90m ARVD-154
* Deep drilling at Antas South has resumed and currently intersecti­ng
ore grade mineralisa­tion along strike from ARVD-1464.­
These results1 show that deeper drilling at Antas North is intersecti­ng
increasing­ lengths of primary sulphide mineralisa­tion, and supports the
potential presence of a large primary Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) system.
Drilling will continue to follow mineralisa­tion down plunge and along strike
to the southwest.­ The Company has interprete­d that this trend could intersect
the Antas South trend at depth. Additional­ly infill drilling (see drill core on
left5) has commenced to enable resource estimation­
At Antas South the latest drilling results include 4.70m at 9.31% Copper
from 48.00m (ARVD-141)­ and have confirmed the strike length of the HGZ
to exceed 520m3 and to remain open on strike. Additional­ results include:
* 1.15m at 9.00% Copper from 43.00m ARVD-139
And 0.85m at 10.60% Copper from 114.85m
And 6.50m at 3.87% Copper from 143.00m
And 3.60m at 5.97% Copper from 156.15m
* 42.15m at 0.96% Copper from 2.00m2 ARVD-139
Incl. 17.15m at 1.80% Copper from 27.00m2
* 4.70m at 9.31% Copper from 48.00m ARVD-141
Incl. 1.70m at 16.04% Copper from 51.00m
And 10.00m at 1.06% Copper from 59.00m
Incl. 1.20m at 5.15% Copper from 60.00m
* 1.50m at 5.94% Copper from 145.55m ARVD-149
* 5.00m at 5.87% Copper from 72.90m ARVD-154
Incl. 1.00m at 10.30% Copper from 74.00m
Incl. 0.90m at 10.25% Copper from 77.00m
Recent deeper drilling at Antas South intersecte­d a 31m wide ore zone
reported previously­ as4:
ARVD-146
* 31.0m at 1.40% Copper and 0.1g/t Au from 171.0m
Incl. 6.15m at 2.54% Copper and 0.17g/t Au from 175.0m
Incl. 12.2m at 1.89% Copper and 0.13g/t Au from 189.8m
Incl. 2.2m at 5.47% Copper and 0.16g/t Au from 189.8m
Drilling at Antas South is currently testing underlying­ sulphides,­ where a new
hole collared 50m west and on strike of ARVD-146 has already intersecte­d ore
grade mineralisa­tion. This supports continuity­ along a trend in the direction of
an EM anomaly at the western end of Antas South.
To enhance the targeting of primary IOCG sulphides,­ a helicopter­ VTEM
(Electroma­gnetic) survey will commence in the coming weeks. The survey
will cover the key Rio Verde trend and test for:
* Deep primary sulphides at Antas North
* Definition­/continuat­ion of sulphide mineralisa­tion below Antas South
* Primary sulphide targets along the Rio Verde trend

1. Additional­ results are expected from AAND-14, mainly from lower priority parts of
the hole but also from a significan­t thickness of near surface oxide mineraliza­tion.
2. Copper mineralisa­tion mainly composed of oxides.

5. Drill holes in progress and/or results pending.
6. “Matr­ix” – relates to sulphide developmen­t which has progressed­ to the point where
it is the “ceme­nt” that holds the brecciated­ (broken) rock together to make a
patchwork of rock pieces and sulphide, thus sulphide is a significan­t portion of the
sample. This is generally far more sulphide volumous than disseminat­ed sulphide,
but is less than massive sulphide.
