Adamera Minerals outlines IP anomaly at South Hedley

ADAMERA DEFINES IP ANOMALY WITH MINIMUM WIDTH OF 2.8KM AT MAX COPPER-GOLD TARGET, SOUTH HEDLEY PROJECT, BC, IP PROGRAM RESUMES AS WILDFIRE RISKS EASE

Adamera Minerals Corp. has released partial results from an induced polarization (IP) survey that has identified a strong chargeability anomaly measuring at least 2.8 kilometres in width with evidence of full width in the range of four kilometres, at the 100-per-cent-owned South Hedley copper-gold property in Southern British Columbia. The survey is continuing.

The chargeability response of the 2-D inversion indicates that the anomaly persists below 325 metres depth. The company interprets it as evidence of a buried sulphide system of considerable strength and extent. Volcanic rocks dominate surface exposures; however, one rock sample above the anomaly was identified as a sulphide-bearing dioritic intrusive rock. The intrusive carries copper values ranging from 200 to 2,000 parts per million.

The South Hedley copper-gold property is located within the Quesnel Trough, which hosts several of British Columbia's largest copper-gold porphyry mines. The IP anomaly is on the Max target situated 18 kilometres east of the Copper Mountain mine and 18 kilometres west of the Nickel Plate gold mine, near Hedley, B.C. The scale of the chargeability anomaly at Max appears to be similar to that surrounding the nearby Copper Mountain deposit.

The IP survey

The pole-dipole IP survey is being conducted along five-kilometre lines spaced 400 metres apart. Data are collected at 100-metre dipole stations, with an estimated depth penetration of approximately 325m.

Inversion modelling of the IP data shows a chargeability anomaly measuring at least 2.8 km in width, and up to four km depending on interpretation. To date, two five-kilometre-long lines spaced by 400 m, L2600 and L3000, have been completed. A third line is currently under way.

Chargeability increases below the volcanic rocks at surface, suggesting a sulphide source at depth. Peak chargeability values greater than 50 millivolts per volt have been measured in the field, with the highest inverted values reaching 77 mV/V on L2600 and 59 mV/V on L3000.

In August, a rock sample collected over the chargeability anomaly was described in the field as a porphyritic diorite intrusive with sulphides. Preliminary portable XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of this sample, MR26-12, returned anomalous copper values of 200 to 2,000 ppm.

"An undrilled copper-gold porphyry target of this size and strength, 18 km from a producing copper mine in an established district, is not something that often turns up," stated Mark Kolebaba, president and chief executive officer of Adamera Minerals. "We will continue to work to provide further evidence of a concealed sulphide system. The next steps are straightforward: extend the IP survey, process the soil and rock samples, and drill the resulting targets."

The target characteristics:

  • Proven belt: The Max target sits in the Quesnel Trough, a prolific porphyry copper-gold belt in south-central British Columbia, 18 km from the producing Copper Mountain mine.
  • A classic porphyry geochemical response: A two-kilometre-by-three-kilometre copper-plus-or-minus-gold-in-soil anomaly at Max forms a horseshoe pattern around younger volcanic cover. Copper in soil reaches 1,450 ppm and gold reaches 1.34 grams per tonne. The anomaly remains open to the north, west and possibly east. Approximately 1,800 additional soil samples have been collected to define the copper anomaly to the west and north.
  • A buried intrusive source: Ground magnetic surveying defines a two-kilometre-by-three-kilometre magnetic high centred within the soil anomaly. The magnetic anomaly is interpreted as a buried intrusive body with a modelled top at approximately 110 m depth.
  • Geophysical evidence of sulphides at depth: An extensive chargeability anomaly persists below 325 m depth, where elevated chargeability is combined with moderate to elevated resistivity rather than a low-resistivity conductor. This is interpreted as a buried sulphide system.
  • Surface evidence of the mineralizing system: Rocks identified at surface indicate an underlying mineralizing system. Gold-bearing veins beneath the volcanic cap are exposed in an incised valley. They are interpreted as a link to the buried target. In August, 2026, ground-truthing along the IP line identified possible porphyry-style alteration as well as intrusive rocks with copper ranging from 93 ppm to 350 ppm and as high as 2,034 ppm.

Operational details

Because IP surveying uses electrical current, it is subject to more wildfire restrictions than other exploration activities. Through the season, the IP survey was affected by numerous wildfire restrictions, including a complete shutdown of the IP program on Aug. 11. While the IP survey was suspended, the crew shifted to soil sampling and ground magnetic surveying. Adamera collected an additional 1,800 soil samples. Results are pending.

Wildfire risk and associated restrictions have eased due to cooler temperatures and recent rainfall. The IP surveying has resumed, with a third line now under way.

Next steps

The company has added drill sites to its drill permit application based on the current IP survey and August, 2026, program. Continued work includes:

  • IP survey: continue IP surveying along five km north-south lines spaced 400 m apart; a third line, L2200, is under way over the Max prospect, where soil samples contain up to 1,450 ppm copper and 1.34 g/t gold.
  • Rock sample analysis: geochemical and petrographic analysis will be completed on numerous rock samples, including MR26-12;
  • Soil geochemistry: geochemical processing of approximately 1,800 soil samples over the Max copper-gold target;
  • Geological follow-up: continue prospecting along IP anomalies to identify sulphide sources and overlying alteration;
  • Drilling: advance the pending drill permits to test the developing targets.

Martin St. Pierre, PGeo, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release. Portable XRF analysis of rock samples is preliminary in nature, is used as a field-screening technique and has not been verified by an accredited laboratory. The Copper Mountain and Nickel Plate mines are located on properties adjacent to or near the South Hedley property. Mineralization on those properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the South Hedley property.
