Adamera Drills High-Grade Gold Zone on Lamefoot South Gold Project
Vancouver, B.C., October 6, 2022 - Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX V: ADZ; OTC: DDNFF)
announces a high-grade gold intersection assaying 10.5 g/t gold over 4.42 metres on the
Lamefoot South gold property in Washington State. Drill hole LS22-02 includes two contiguous
assays with 14.31 g/t Au over 1.22 metres and the other 21.24 g/t Au over 1.07 metres. The site
is located 540 metres southeast of the former Lamefoot Gold Mine.
Two initial follow up holes were drilled at PL-6, the 2021 discovery drill hole that intersected 4.7
g/t gold over 2.7 metres including 10.7 g/t gold over 0.76 metres. (see release November 9,
2021). The 2022 drilling was successful in confirming the gold mineralization and determining
the orientation of the mineralized zone. Drill hole LS22-02 suggests gold grades and mineralized
width increase with depth in a rod-shaped zone plunging and widening to the northwest. LS22-
01 may be off-axis, defining a tentative southwestern limit. Results for drill holes LS22-01 and
LS22-02 are listed below.
True thickness not yet known
“We consider this to be a new discovery for Adamera. I am strongly encouraged by the
similarities observed between the past producing Lamefoot Mine ore bodies and our new
discovery;this makes sense given their close proximity,” says Mark Kolebaba, President and
CEO of Adamera Minerals Corp. “By using our multi-layered data approach and new geological
model we have recognized a new unexposed mineralized zone that was clearly missed by past
explorers. We believe we have a combination of targeting methods that will make exploration
going forward more efficient and increase our drilling success.”
The Lamefoot Mine (figure 1, below) consisted of 7 pods or ore zones along the north-south
trending limestone-clastic contact that combined to total nearly a million ounces of gold at a
grade of 8 to 10 g/t. There is little public domain data on Lamefoot, but a recently acquired long
section of the mine shows the seven related but separate ore zones. They appear to be steeply
plunging pipe-like bodies with significant depth extent.

As a prelude to the 2022 drill testing, Self-Potential (SP) surveys were carried out to look for
sulphide concentrations in the area around PL-6. The latest drill results show a clear correlation
between sulphide abundance and increased gold grade confirming our targeting methodology
going forward. Adamera has identified numerous targets with coincident geophysical and
geochemical anomalies similar to the anomaly associated with the PL-6 mineralized zone along
the prospective geological contact on the Lamefoot South property. Initial drilling of such targets
requires closely spaced drill holes to determine the orientation of the mineralization prior to
broader drill hole spacing.

The massive sulphide intercept in hole LS22-02, was later utilized for a mise a la masse survey.
Mise a la masse surveys can be used to help map the subsurface geometry of a sulphide zone by
applying current directly to it. In the case of LS22-02, the survey appears to shows a steeply
plunging zone with possible sulphides.

Additional drilling on Lamefoot South is expected to continue in the upcoming weeks. Lower
elevation and excellent road access allow for year round drilling at Lamefoot South.
The Lamefoot South property is located 11 km by existing road to the Kinross’ Kettle River Mill
which is currently on care and maintanence.
