Adamera Minerals Advances Four Gold Projects with Drill-Ready Targets in Established Mining Districts
Adamera Minerals Corp. is advancing four gold projects in Washington State and British Columbia, offering significant discovery potential in proven mining districts through a mix of grassroots exploration and drill-ready targets.
Adamera Minerals Corp. has provided a comprehensive update on its portfolio of four gold projects spanning Washington State and British Columbia, highlighting significant exploration progress and drill-ready targets in established mining districts. The company's strategic focus over the past 12 years has centered on grassroots exploration to define high-potential targets, with many now reaching advanced stages of development.
The South Hedley Gold property in British Columbia covers 18,714 hectares in a district with substantial historic gold production. Adamera's work has identified multiple structural corridors containing skarn-related and quartz-carbonate vein occurrences similar to those at the historic Nickel Plate mines, which reported production exceeding 2.5 million ounces of gold according to provincial documentation available at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/mineral-exploration-mining/documents/mineral-development-office/gold_september_2015.pdf. The company has advanced two key prospects: the Max Prospect, defined by highly anomalous gold, copper and arsenic values, and the Glix Prospect, where recent sampling revealed soil samples with gold values up to 4,282 ppb. Both prospects show no evidence of previous exploration activity and are progressing toward drilling permits.
In Washington State, the Flag Hill and Flag Hill South properties situated in the Republic Gold District represent part of a larger epithermal gold-silver vein system. Historical production in this camp is estimated at more than 2.8 million ounces of gold and 15 million ounces of silver, as documented in state geological records at https://dnr.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2025-04/ger_ic110_iaml_republic_mining_dist.pdf. Recent drilling by Adamera intersected epithermal veins with zones containing 3.0 g/t gold and 70 g/t silver over 2-meter intervals, suggesting increasing vein thickness and grades at depth. The company plans deeper drilling later in 2025 to test these veins and a pronounced magnetic anomaly that may represent an intrusive center driving mineralization.
The Empire Creek property, located on the same structural corridor as historic mines including the K2 mine referenced in regional mining reports at https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2005/oct/08/ferry-county-mine-to-close/, represents another drill-ready opportunity. Historic drilling intercepted significant mineralization of 10.5 g/t gold and 183.3 g/t silver over 15.24 meters, with Adamera having developed multiple exploration targets through geophysical and geochemical surveys.
The Buckhorn 2.0 property surrounds Kinross Gold Corp's past-producing Buckhorn Mine, which achieved operational status as reported in industry publications at https://miningrecord.com/kinross-golds-buckhorn-mine-is-now-operational/. Adamera has modeled more than 30 exploration targets based on geological characteristics of the Buckhorn Mine's skarn/carbonate replacement gold system. The property benefits from existing infrastructure including haul roads and power transmission lines, with only 4 of 40 targets tested to date.
Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera, emphasized the company's strategic positioning, noting that after a decade of grassroots exploration, Adamera now offers a balanced mix of both grassroots and brownfield discoveries in established mining jurisdictions. The company's systematic approach has identified numerous compelling targets that are now drill-ready, positioning Adamera for potential discoveries across its diversified portfolio. The advancement of these projects represents significant potential for new gold discoveries in regions with proven mineralization histories and existing mining infrastructure.
