Adamera identifies gold prospect at South Hedley

Executive Summary

• Adamera Minerals identified a second gold prospect (“Glix”) on its wholly‑owned South Hedley property in British Columbia, located ~10 km from the previously announced Max prospect.
• Soil sampling returned highly anomalous gold values up to 684 ppb, with accompanying zinc and arsenic pathfinder anomalies and nearby sulphide mineralization.
• Follow‑up work (26 additional soil samples and 10 rock samples) is underway, with results expected within the next week, indicating the prospect remains open and potentially significant.

Key Details

• Prospect Location: Glix prospect, >10 km from Max prospect on the 18,714‑ha South Hedley gold property (100% owned).
• Initial Soil Sampling: First‑pass fire assay values 25–45 ppb Au; follow‑up sample returned 419 ppb Au.
• Follow‑Up Soil Results: 20 samples within ~50 m of the 419 ppb point; >50% anomalous, with gold ranging from 80 ppb to 684 ppb.
• Geochemical Indicators: Anomalies also enriched in zinc and arsenic, consistent with pathfinder elements at nearby historic mines (Nickel Plate, Mascot).
• Field Work (Aug 29‑Sept 2, 2025): Identified scapolite‑altered clastic and impure calcareous rocks interpreted as laterally equivalent to the Late Triassic Hedley Formation; discovered pyrrhotite‑arsenopyrite sulphide mineralization within 300 m of gold‑bearing soils.
• Additional Sampling: 26 more soil samples + 10 rock samples collected; processing scheduled for the following week.
• Analytical Methodology: Samples analyzed in‑house using DetectORE (pXRF‑based) method with rigorous QA/QC (standard rock inserted every 30–45 samples, control checks every 20 analyses).
• Qualified Person: Gordon Gibson (PGeo), QP under NI 43‑101, reviewed and approved the data.
• Regional Context: South Hedley lies <10 km from Barrick Gold’s former Nickel Plate mine; the broader Hedley gold camp has produced ~2.5 M oz Au historically.

Notable Quotes

“This is a large property in a proven gold district of Southern B.C. It amazes me that so little exploration appears to have been completed over the past several decades. The work we have done to date has identified multiple gold‑in‑soil anomalies with many occurrences yet to be followed up,” – Mark Kolebaba, President & CEO, Adamera Minerals.
