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.
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 2, 2026 – Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:
ADZ; OTC: DDNFF) (“Adamera” or the “Company”) announces partial results from an
induced polarization (IP) survey that has identified a strong chargeability anomaly measuring at
least 2.8km in width with evidence of full width in the range of 4km, at the 100% owned South
Hedley Copper-Gold Property in southern British Columbia. The survey is continuing.
The chargeability response of the 2D inversion indicates that the anomaly persists below 325m
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 2000 ppm (see photo below).
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 18km east of the Copper Mountain mine and 18km 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 5km lines spaced 400m apart. Data are
collected at 100m dipole stations, with an estimated depth penetration of approximately 325m.
Inversion modelling of the IP data shows a chargeability anomaly measuring at least 2.8km in
width, and up to 4km depending on interpretation. To date, two 5km long lines spaced by 400m,
L2600 and L3000, have been completed (Figure 1). A third line is currently underway.
Chargeability increases below the volcanic rocks at surface, suggesting a sulphide source at
depth. Peak chargeability values greater than 50 mV/V 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 analysis of this sample,
MR26-12, returned anomalous copper values of 200 to 2000 ppm.
“An undrilled copper-gold porphyry target of this size and strength, 18km from a producing copper mine in an
established district, is not something that often turns up,” stated Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO 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 B.C., 18km from the producing Copper Mountain mine.
● A classic porphyry geochemical response: A 2x3 km copper±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 g/t. The anomaly remains open to the north, west and
possibly east. Approximately 1800 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 2x3 km magnetic high
centred within the soil anomaly. The magnetic anomaly is interpreted as a buried
intrusive body with a modelled top at approximately 110m depth.
● Geophysical evidence of sulphides at depth: An extensive chargeability anomaly
persists below 325m 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 2034 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 August 11. While the IP survey
was suspended, the crew shifted to soil sampling and ground magnetic surveying. Adamera
collected an additional 1800 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 underway.
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 5km north-south lines spaced 400m apart. A
third line, L2200, is underway over the Max Prospect, where soil samples contain up to
1450 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 1800 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.
