Adamera Temporarily Ceases IP Survey at South Hedley Amid Severe BC Wildfires and Provincial State of Emergency
Adamera’s British Columbia exploration is paused due to wildfires, though its tungsten hub and gold targets remain on deck.

Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ) has temporarily suspended its induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the South Hedley property in British Columbia. The halt is directly attributed to escalating wildfire activity in the province, which triggered a Provincial State of Emergency. The company emphasized that the suspension is strictly temporary, prioritizing crew safety and local community protection. Survey activities are expected to resume once fire risks subside and safe access is restored.
During the pause, technical teams are actively interpreting existing geophysical data to advance target prioritization for the high-priority copper-gold porphyry target. The South Hedley property spans approximately 20,000 hectares, located 18 km from the Copper Mountain mine. The IP survey targets a 2-3 km copper-gold soil anomaly. A second prospect, Glix, is also located on the property.
Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ) is experiencing a standard, weather-related operational delay common in Western Canadian exploration. The suspension of field activities is expected given the historical wildfire season in British Columbia and the declared state of emergency. This halt is not a regulatory rejection or an indication of a fundamental project flaw.
Technical work continues remotely, which mitigates some of the schedule impact. No drill results or major financing milestones are delayed by this specific announcement. The market impact is minimal, as the stock is already trading in a tight consolidation range and the news does not provide a new catalyst for price appreciation or depreciation.
Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ) is an exploration-stage company focused on high-grade gold, copper, and tungsten projects in British Columbia and Washington State. Its flagship property, South Hedley, is a 20,000-hectare site located in the historic Hedley gold belt in British Columbia. The property hosts the Max prospect, a copper-gold porphyry target with soil gold up to 1.61 g/t and copper up to 1,450 ppm, as well as the Glix prospect, a gold skarn target with soil gold up to 4.3 g/t. Both prospects are drill-ready pending permits.
In Washington State, the company maintains a strategic portfolio of four scheelite-bearing tungsten properties: Talisman, Tungsten Ridge, Pierre Creek, and Roosevelt. This consolidation aims to capitalize on a ~900% surge in tungsten prices and a January 2027 U.S. defense procurement deadline that restricts adversarial nation tungsten. Currently, the company is in the geophysics, geochemistry, and target definition phase. No modern drilling has been completed to date.
