ADAMERA RECEIVES APPROVAL FOR IP SURVEY AT SOUTH HEDLEY COPPER-
GOLD PROPERTY, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 13, 2026 – Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ADZ; OTC:
DDNFF) (“Adamera” or the “Company”) announces it has received approval from the B.C.
Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals to conduct an Induced Polarization (IP) survey at the
Max copper-gold porphyry target on its 100%-owned South Hedley property. The survey is
scheduled to commence in June.
The South Hedley property is located 18 kilometres (“km”) east of the Copper Mountain mine
near Princeton, BC and 12 km southwest of the Nickel Plate mine near Hedley, BC.
Figure 1. Shows South Hedley Claim location relative to Copper Mountain Mine and the Nickel Plate
Mine at Hedley and its location relative the BC copper belt.
The planned 44-line-kilometre IP survey will cover a 2 km magnetic anomaly surrounded by a 3
km horseshoe shaped copper-gold soil anomaly (see Figure 2). Peak values from these
samples yielded up to 1.3 g/t gold and 1,450 ppm copper. The IP survey will map chargeability
and resistivity at depth to define the distribution of sulphide mineralization and alteration. Data
generated from this survey will be used to prioritize targets for drilling.
The Company originally submitted a Notice of Work application in February 2026 outlining both
the IP survey and drilling program. The drilling component of the application remains under
active review by the Ministry.

anomalies in relation to inverted magnetic anomaly target at 160 metres depth slice. Dash-lines
represent proposed IP survey line locations. Orange circles represent gold values between 25 to
1600ppb. Copper shown in green ranges from 50 to 1450 ppm.
Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera Minerals, stated: "We have identified two highly
prospective targets at South Hedley: Glix and Max. This is a significant development for
Adamera. Our initial program was primarily designed to identify gold skarn mineralization similar
to the historic Nickel Plate mine, which the Glix prospect represents. However, the Max target
introduces an entirely new dimension as a potential copper-gold porphyry. The large 3 km
horseshoe-shaped copper soil anomaly at Max exhibits the classic signature of a porphyry
system. It amazes me to think that we have identified these targets in southern British
Columbia."
The BC Copper-Gold Trend: Geological and Investment Significance
The South Hedley property is situated within the Quesnel Terrane, a globally recognized and
highly endowed geological belt often referred to as the BC copper-gold trough (see inset figure
on Figure 1). This Triassic-Jurassic volcanic arc is renowned for hosting large-scale, long-life
porphyry and skarn deposits driven by deep-seated magmatic systems. Geologically, this
regional axis controls the mineralization at both the Nickel Plate gold Mine and the Copper
Mountain Mine.
The South Hedley property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including year-round road
access, nearby power and proximity to established mining communities. This logistical
advantage significantly reduces exploration costs and lowers the capital expenditure required
for development.
The Glix Prospect
In addition to the Max target the Company is advancing the Glix Prospect, a separate gold
discovery located 15 km from the Max target. Recent exploration yielded soil samples with up to
4 g/t gold. The anomalous samples are associated with shallow electromagnetic (EM)
conductors and a prominent magnetic low. Based on this data, the Glix target is considered to
be comparable to the gold-bearing skarn environment seen at the historic Nickel Plate Mine.
Martin St. Pierre, P.Geo., a Qualified Person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101,
has reviewed and approved the technical data presented in this news release. Gold data
provided by Act Labs fire assay in Kamloops and by Adamera in-house lab using DetectOreTM
method. Copper Values by Adamera using XRF.
