Exploration Program Update, Outline of 2022 Plans
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals L td. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
provide an update on its projects, partner activities and exploration plans for 2022 . The Company and its
predecessors have acquired a portfolio of mineral projects in North America through grassroots exploration
and agreements . The goal is to make new discoveries on these projects through drilling focussed
exploration programs directly or in partnership with third parties. The Company continues to review new
opportunities to add to its portfolio as well.
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commen ted, “Our projects portfolio is the result of years of effort
and invested intellectual capital. 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.”
Davis/Paradise Gold-Silver Project, Nevada (wholly owned)
As previously announced, Almadex holds the rights to earn 100% of this property , which covers multiple
targets, and is located approximately eight miles southeast of Gabbs, Nevada and five miles northeast of
the Paradise Peak gold mine, which was active from 1984 to 1994. The Davis/Paradise property is fully
permitted for drilling which is planned for 2022. Geological fiel d work is planned to commence in April,
focussed on prioritising targets prior to drilling.
Willow Copper-Gold Project, Nevada (wholly owned, optioned to third party)
The Willow property is optioned to Abacus Mining and Exploration (“Abacus”) who announced on February
24th, 2022 that in 2021 three holes totaling approximately 1700 metres on Willow were drilled and that all
holes intersected the Luhr Hill granite porphyry, which is the host rock of the four known porphyry copper -
molybdenum (Cu-Mo) deposits in the Yerington camp. Two holes drilled on Willow by Abacus in 2018 were
also reported to have intersected this porphyry granite rock, with one hole intersecting the Luhr Hill just
before being lost. Almadex looks forward to Abacus reporting its intended 2022 exploration plans for Willow.
San Pedro Gold-Silver Project, Mexico (wholly owned)
An initial two -hole exploratory drill program was completed in December 2021 at the Company’s wholly
owned San Pedro Project in Jalisco. No sign ificant intersections were returned from this drilling which
targeted high chargeability induced polarisation geophysical anomalies. Subsequent surface exploration
work has defined a structural trend and associated float rock of vein material also coincident with past soil
anomalies. Further drilling is planned in 2022 to test these features. The project is accessed from
Guadalajara, 115 km along a paved highway. Jocelyn Pelletier, PGeo, a qualified person as defined by 43-
101 reviewed and approved the scie ntific and technical contents of this news release relating to the San
Pedro project.
Lajas Gold-Silver Project, Mexico (wholly owned)
At the Lajas Project located in Zacatecas State, a field program was completed in late 2021. This program
was implemented to refine targets to test exposed epithermal veins prior to a first pass diamond drill
program now planned for 2022 when all permits and permissions are in place.
Nueva Espana Gold-Silver Project, Mexico (wholly owned)
The Nueva Espana Project covers an area of historic mining which targeted epithermal silver rich veins and
is in Puebla State. The company intends to review the past data and conduct some surface exploration
work to define targets for a potential future drill program to test beneath the level of historic mining.
Ponderosa gold-silver project, British Columbia (wholly owned, optioned to third party)
The Ponderosa project is optioned to Au Gold Corp (“Au Gold”) and lies within the Spences Bridge Gold
Belt, British Columbia and roughly 20km northwest of Westhaven Gold Corp.’s Shovelnose project. Au Gold
announced in 2021 that it is planning an initial diamond drill program, comprising 1,500 metres, along with
mechanized trenching once permits are received from the Province of British Columbia. Almadex looks
forward to hearing of Au Gold’s 2022 plans.
