Adamera Minerals Discovers High-Grade Gold Anomaly at South Hedley Property
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 Corp. continues to expand the Glix Prospect on its South Hedley property in British Columbia, identifying several additional soil samples with anomalous gold values ranging from 24 to 4,283 ppb (4.3 g/t) gold. The company will mobilize a crew shortly to locate a bedrock source near the 4,283 ppb sample and further test the lateral limits of the anomaly. A follow-up sampling and prospecting program is underway, with geophysical surveys planned for the area.
The Glix Prospect represents a coherent and continuous gold-in-soil anomaly measuring approximately 90 by 50 meters that remains open for 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. President and CEO Mark Kolebaba stated that the recent sampling program significantly advanced the project, noting that the site containing 4.3 g/t gold represents the highest gold value recovered on the property to date.
The immediate area appears largely unexplored except for reported work to the north in the 1990s, making this a high priority for the company given the sample grades and exploration potential. The prospect is located in an area with favorable geology, including an inlier of scapolite-altered clastic and impure calcareous rocks thought equivalent to the Late Triassic Hedley Formation that hosts the nearby Nickel Plate and Mascot mines. Sulphide mineralization in limestone was discovered within 300 meters of the gold-bearing soil samples.
Samples with anomalous gold also show significant enrichment in zinc and arsenic, known pathfinder elements at the nearby mines. Adamera first identified the prospect through reconnaissance soil sampling, with initial results showing weakly anomalous values from 25 to 45 ppb gold. Subsequent sampling revealed increasingly higher values, culminating in the recent 4,283 ppb discovery. The company uses the DetectORE method for rapid gold analysis, with selected samples followed up with fire-assay calibration.
The South Hedley Property is located less than 10 kilometers from Barrick Gold Corp's past producer, the Nickel Plate Mine, in a region that reportedly produced approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold according to historical documentation available at https://www2.gov.bc.ca. Adamera will initiate a Notice of Work application for a drill program to test both the Glix and Max prospects on the property.
