Almadex Minerals stakes New Hope

ALMADEX ACQUIRES NEW COPPER PORPHYRY PROJECT IN ARIZONA, USA

Further to its news release of July 11 2023, describing the identification of new targets, Almadex Minerals Ltd. has acquired by staking a 100-per-cent interest in the New Hope porphyry copper exploration project in Arizona, United States. The 950 hectare New Hope project covers a roughly 3.5 by 1.5 kilometre area of intense hydrothermal alteration developed in volcanic rocks and crosscutting intrusive dykes. The observed hydrothermal alteration is characteristic of the upper levels of a porphyry system. Almadex has completed a surface alteration and geologic mapping program. Remnants of an advanced argillic altered lithocap with Na-alunite, pyrophyllite and dickite along with a phyllic alteration signature including high crystallinity muscovite at surface have been mapped with a Terraspec mineral spectrometer. Complete results from this work are being compiled presently as additional analyses are being carried out. Almadex looks forward to reporting on these and its exploration plans for the New Hope project moving forward. Subsequent to identifying the New Hope target, Almadex research identified reports describing some of the past work in the area from the 1950s to the 1970s. These summary reports mention shallow drilling, some geophysics and a description of two diamond drill holes with uncertain collar locations. One of these was a deep hole believed to have been drilled adjacent to the argillic alteration zone. Drill logs for this hole obtained by Almadex describe propylitic epidote-chlorite alteration and weak copper mineralisation, consistent with the periphery environment of a porphyry copper system.

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, "New Hope is an exciting new addition to our portfolio. It is the result of first principals based conceptual exploration. We hope to make more additions to our project portfolio in 2023. This portfolio of mineral projects is the result of years of effort and invested intellectual capital. Our CAD$18 Million cash position as of Q1 2023 gives us the luxury of advancing these projects in the manner best suited for shareholders. We have a track record of discoveries, and we feel the varied and exciting projects in our portfolio have the potential to add to that record."
