Adamera Expands South Hedley Copper-Gold Property

Adamera Minerals Corp. has expanded its South Hedley Copper-Gold Property in British Columbia by staking additional claims between its existing Max Copper-Gold Target and the Copper Mountain mine. The company has filed applications for the Bromley claims, adding over 4,700 hectares of contiguous land.
According to the press release, the newly staked ground extends the northwestern edge of the South Hedley Property 12 kilometers westward, connecting to the eastern claim boundary of Hudbay Minerals Inc.’s Copper Mountain mine. The Bromley claim applications cover an approximately 12 by 4 kilometer corridor that lies beneath a sequence of younger volcanic rock. Adamera has identified distinct magnetic features within this corridor, which the company believes could point to potential mineralization.
Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera, stated, “The locations of Copper Mountain, Nickel Plate, and our Max copper-gold target are not random. We believe a 40 km structural and metallogenic corridor connects these locations, and this is the type of opportunity we like to focus on.”
The company interprets this 40-kilometer corridor as a conduit for mineralizing magmas over a 15-million-year period. This corridor is situated along the southern margin of the Bromley Batholith and is considered a key feature in the district's geology. Adamera's Max Copper-Gold Target is positioned within this corridor, offering a potential new exploration target.
The rationale for this expansion includes covering the interpreted southern margin of the Bromley Batholith, an area approximately 12 by 4 kilometers in extent. While younger, post-mineralization cover has concealed this zone, Adamera has identified distinct magnetic features within the corridor, providing early geophysical support for mineral targets.
These new claim applications extend directly westward from the Company's South Hedley Property, where an ongoing induced polarization (IP) survey has defined a chargeability anomaly ranging from 3 to 4 kilometers in width. The land expansion covers the interpreted structural corridor extending westward from this new zone.
Kolebaba continued, “This staking reflects our broader vision for the district. The locations of Copper Mountain, Nickel Plate, and our Max copper-gold target are not random. We believe a 40 km structure along the southern margin of the Bromley Batholith controlled the emplacement of the smaller intrusions that carry the copper and gold. Younger volcanic rocks covering this zone have largely kept it untested, and this is the type of opportunity we like to focus on.”
The Company is advancing two targets at the South Hedley Property: the Max Copper-Gold Target, a covered porphyry target defined by coincident copper-gold soil geochemistry, magnetics, and IP; and Glix, a gold skarn target defined by soil geochemistry, electromagnetic, and magnetic survey data. An IP survey at the Max copper-gold target is currently underway. Drill permit applications for both targets were submitted in February 2026 and remain pending.
Adamera Minerals Corp. is targeting critical metals in the U.S. and copper-gold in southern British Columbia. The company maintains a portfolio of projects, including a tungsten portfolio intended to support a secure domestic supply for U.S. markets.
