Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ADZ; OTC: DDNFF) has provided a summary of its gold projects in Washington State and British Columbia, detailing grassroots exploration over 12 years that has assembled a portfolio of properties in proven gold districts. The company reports progress on four key projects: South Hedley in British Columbia, and Flag Hill, Empire Creek, and Buckhorn 2.0 in Washington.
At South Hedley, an 18,714-hectare property south of the historic Hedley mining district, Adamera has identified multiple structural corridors with skarn-related and quartz-carbonate vein occurrences. Recent work has advanced the Max and Glix prospects. The Max Prospect, identified by a soil sample grading 1,340 ppb gold, has been expanded and is now defined by a zone with highly anomalous gold, copper, and arsenic in soil and rock. The prospect lies below an extensive younger rock unit that obscures geochemical signs, and a discrete 500-meter-long magnetic target lies at an estimated depth of 30 to 50 meters. The company is initiating permits for drilling. At the Glix Prospect, 15 kilometers from Max, follow-up sampling defined a coherent zone with soil and rock samples ranging from 100 to 4,282 ppb gold, elevating it to high priority. No previous exploration activity is evident over the site, and Adamera plans ground geophysical surveys and additional sampling while permitting for drilling.
In Washington State, the Flag Hill and Flag Hill South properties are in the Republic Gold District, part of a larger epithermal gold-silver vein system that has produced over 2.8 million ounces of gold and 15 million ounces of silver (source: Washington DNR). Drilling in late 2024 at Flag Hill South intersected epithermal veins at shallow depths with zones grading 3.0 g/t gold and 70 g/t silver over 2-meter intervals. Combined magnetic data and soil geochemistry suggest numerous untested veins, and a deep magnetic anomaly may represent an intrusive center. The company plans deeper drilling later in 2025.
The Empire Creek Property lies on the same structural corridor as the historic K2 and Granny Mines (source: Spokesman.com), approximately 6 kilometers north. Historic drilling at Empire Creek intercepted 10.5 g/t gold and 183.3 g/t silver over 15.24 meters starting at 54 meters depth. Adamera has conducted geophysical and geochemical surveys, surface prospecting, trenching, and shallow drilling, developing multiple drill-ready targets.
The Buckhorn 2.0 Property surrounds Kinross Gold Corp’s past-producing Buckhorn Mine (source: Mining Record). Adamera acquired the lands to explore for satellite discoveries using a large historic database. More than 30 exploration targets have been modeled based on the Buckhorn Mine’s structurally controlled skarn/carbonate replacement gold system. To date, only 4 of 40 targets have been tested, with shallow gold zones intersected but not yet followed up.
“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,” said Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO.
