Adamera Identifies Gold-Copper Porphyry Target at South Hedley, B.C. - Drilling Application Submitted

Core Viewpoint - Adamera Minerals Corp. has identified a large-scale copper-gold target at its South Hedley Copper Gold Project, which has the potential to evolve the Max prospect into a significant copper-gold porphyry opportunity [1][4]. Project Location and Context - The South Hedley project is strategically located between the historic Nickel Plate gold mine and the active Copper Mountain mine in southern British Columbia [2][6]. - The property spans 20,000 hectares and is situated within the Quesnel Trough, a region known for hosting several major mineral deposits [4]. Geological Findings - Initial work at the South Hedley project has included geophysical surveying, geochemical sampling, and prospecting, which have defined two gold and base metal targets [3]. - The Max prospect is located on the edge of a horseshoe-shaped geochemical anomaly, with a 2 square kilometer magnetic anomaly suggesting a possible buried diorite intrusion [3][4]. - Geochemical analysis revealed copper values up to 1,450 ppm and gold values peaking at 1.61 g/t (1,610 ppb), indicating a strong correlation between copper and gold anomalies [7]. Technical Interpretation - The geochemical zonation pattern observed is typical of porphyry-style copper-gold systems, with the Max prospect identified as a high-priority target area [8][14]. - Ground magnetic data indicates a coherent magnetic high feature at depths below 110 meters, interpreted as a potential source for mineralization [8][10]. Next Steps in Exploration - The company has submitted a Notice of Work for drilling to test high-priority target areas, with plans for an induced polarization survey to map chargeability and resistivity at depth [17][23]. - Further geochemical analyses and infill sampling surveys are planned to assist in vectoring within the mineralized system [23]. Additional Prospects - A second prospect, the Glix Prospect, has been identified approximately 15 kilometers from the Max target, considered comparable to a gold-bearing skarn environment [19].
