Adamera Minerals Expands High-Grade Gold Discovery at Glix Prospect in British Columbia

By Advos

TL;DR

Adamera Minerals' discovery of high-grade gold samples up to 4.3 g/t at Glix Prospect offers significant investment advantage in an underexplored area near historic mines.

Adamera uses systematic soil sampling with proprietary DetectORE analysis and QA/QC protocols to identify and expand coherent gold anomalies at the Glix Prospect.

Responsible mineral exploration by Adamera could create local economic opportunities while advancing sustainable resource development through careful geological assessment.

Adamera found soil samples with up to 4,283 ppb gold using innovative portable XRF technology in an area previously overlooked by explorers.

Adamera Minerals Expands High-Grade Gold Discovery at Glix Prospect in British Columbia

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. A follow-up sampling and prospecting program is underway, with geophysical surveys being planned for the Glix area. The company will be initiating a Notice of Work application under the Mines Act for a drill program to test both the Glix and Max prospects.

The significance of this discovery lies in its proximity to the historically productive Hedley Gold Camp, which reportedly produced approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold according to government 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 South Hedley Property is located less than 10 kilometres from Barrick Gold Corp's past producer, the Nickel Plate Mine, suggesting similar geological potential.

The Glix Prospect represents a coherent and continuous gold in soil anomaly that currently measures approximately 90 x 50 metres and remains open for further expansion in multiple directions. Recent sampling to test the north and south limits strongly suggests the anomaly remains open in all directions except the east, where it terminates at a prominent north-south trending fault. The 4,283 ppb* sample represents the highest gold value recovered on the property to date, making it a very high priority for the company.

Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera, stated that the most recent sampling program significantly advanced the project, with immediate prospecting focusing on the site containing the 4.3 g/t gold sample. The area's geological setting appears favorable, with prospecting identifying an inlier of scapolite-altered clastic and impure calcareous rocks thought to be laterally equivalent to the Late Triassic Hedley Formation, which hosts the Nickel Plate and Mascot mines to the north.

Additional significant findings include sulphide mineralization (pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite) in limestone discovered within 300 metres of the gold-bearing soil samples. Samples with anomalous gold also show significant enrichment in zinc and arsenic, known pathfinder elements at the nearby Nickel Plate and Mascot mines. The immediate area appears largely unexplored except for reported work to the north in the 1990s.

The company first identified this prospect through reconnaissance soil sampling, with initial results showing weakly anomalous fire assay values ranging from 25 to 45 ppb gold. Subsequent follow-up sampling revealed increasingly promising results, culminating in the recent high-grade discoveries. The exploration methodology involves using the DetectORE method for rapid gold analysis, with selected samples followed up with fire-assay for calibration purposes.
