Adamera provides update on four gold projects
Executive Summary
- Adamera Minerals provided a comprehensive update on four gold projects in Washington State and British Columbia, highlighting recent drilling results, newly identified drill‑ready targets, and ongoing permitting and exploration plans.
- Significant intercepts were reported from Flag Hill South (3 g/t Au & 70 g/t Ag over 2 m) and historic drilling at Empire Creek (10.5 g/t Au & 183.3 g/t Ag over 15.24 m).
- The company is advancing permitting for drilling on the Max and Glix prospects at South Hedley (B.C.) and plans deeper drilling later in 2025 on Flag Hill South, as well as further exploration on Buckhorn 2.0.
Key Details
- South Hedley (B.C.) – Max Prospect:
- Soil sample of 1,340 ppb Au identified; expanded zone shows anomalous Au, Cu, As in soil/rock.
- Discrete 500 m magnetic target at ~30‑50 m depth; no prior work.
-
Permitting for drilling now underway.
-
South Hedley – Glix Prospect:
- Soil samples up to 4,282 ppb Au; anomalous Au, As, Zn in soil/rock.
-
No historic work within ~200 m; permitting and ground magnetic/VLF‑EM surveys being planned.
-
Flag Hill South (Washington) – Drilling Results (late 2024):
- Three short holes intersected epithermal veins with 3.0 g/t Au and 70 g/t Ag over 2 m intervals.
- Vein thickness and grades appear to increase with depth/southward trend.
-
Plans for deeper drilling in 2025 to test deeper magnetic anomaly.
-
Flag Hill (Washington) – Exploration:
-
Combined ground magnetic and surface soil geochemistry indicate numerous untested veins; pronounced deep magnetic anomaly may represent intrusive mineralization driver.
-
Empire Creek (Washington):
- Historic drill intercept: 10.5 g/t Au and 183.3 g/t Ag over 15.24 m starting at 54 m depth.
-
Property located ~1 km from Republic graben margin; multiple exploration targets identified; drill‑ready status.
-
Buckhorn 2.0 (Washington):
- Large land package surrounding Kinross’s Buckthorn mine with existing infrastructure.
-
30 high‑value geophysical/geochemical targets modeled; 4 of 40 tested, shallow gold intersected but not yet followed up.
-
Drill‑ready and slated for further testing.
-
Overall Portfolio:
- Over the past decade, Adamera has focused on grassroots exploration to define drill targets across proven gold districts.
- Funding constraints have limited drilling follow‑up; however, many targets are now ready for immediate drilling pending permits.
Notable Quotes
“Over the past decade, Adamera has focused on grassroots exploration to define drill targets. Drilling follow up has been limited due to funding limitations. Many compelling targets are drill ready such that Adamera can offer a balanced mix of both grassroots and brownfield discoveries in established mining jurisdictions,” – Mark Kolebaba, President & CEO.
