Adamera Minerals Expands High-Grade Gold Discovery at Glix Prospect in British Columbia
Adamera Minerals Corp. has identified significant gold anomalies at its Glix Prospect in British Columbia, with soil samples reaching 4.3 g/t gold, indicating potential for a major new discovery near historic mining operations.
Adamera Minerals Corp. continues to expand the Glix Prospect on its 100% owned South Hedley claims in British Columbia, identifying several additional soil samples with anomalous gold values ranging from 24 to 4,283 ppb* (4.3 g/t) gold. This represents the highest gold value recovered on the property to date, making it a very high priority for the company given the sample grades and the area's unexplored nature.
The Glix Prospect is a coherent and continuous gold in soil anomaly measuring approximately 90 x 50 metres and remains open for further expansion in all directions except the east, where it terminates at a prominent north-south trending fault. The company is mobilizing a crew to locate a bedrock source for the gold near the 4,283 ppb* sample and further test the lateral limits of the soil anomaly to the north, south, and west.
The significance of this discovery is amplified by the property's location less than 10 kilometres from Barrick Gold Corp's past producer, the Nickel Plate Mine, where approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold were reportedly produced in the Hedley Gold Camp according to historical data from British Columbia government records. The geological setting shows favorable characteristics, with prospecting identifying an inlier of scapolite-altered clastic and impure calcareous rocks thought to be laterally equivalent to the Late Triassic Hedley Formation that hosts the Nickel Plate and Mascot mines to the north.
Adamera will be initiating a Notice of Work application under the Mines Act for a drill program to test both the Glix Prospect and the previously identified Max Prospect. Samples with anomalous gold also show significant enrichment in zinc and arsenic, which are known pathfinder elements at the nearby Nickel Plate and Mascot mines, further supporting the exploration potential. The immediate area appears largely unexplored except for reported work to the north in the 1990s, indicating substantial discovery potential remains.
