Adamera Minerals to Advance Exploration Drilling on Gold-Copper-Silver Targets in 2026

Vancouver, British Columbia — January 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ADZ; OTC: DDNFF) is focusing on finalizing permitting and initiating drilling on at least five of its gold-copper-silver targets during the year. The targets are drill-ready and located within Adamera’s 22,000-hectare land package in southern British Columbia and Washington State.

Adamera has pursued an exploration strategy focused on mining districts in B.C. and Washington State. The company prioritized low-cost field work programs to establish drill targets. In 2026, Adamera’s focus shifts to drilling in anticipation of a possible discovery, with drilling scheduled to start by mid-year.

Target generation is complete across the core assets, which include Buckhorn 2.0 in Washington State, a district-scale project surrounding the former Buckhorn gold mine. The high-grade producer closed in 2017. Adamera data surveys have identified over 30 drill targets with gold and copper-silver potential, within a land position of over 2,117 hectares.

South Hedley in British Columbia includes a district-scale land position in the historic Hedley Gold Camp/Copper Mountain Copper Gold camp. Multiple gold and gold-copper targets, including the Max and Glix targets, exist within a land position of over 19,000 hectares.

Flag Hill and Flag Hill South in Washington State, host a gold-silver epithermal vein system in the Republic Gold District. Drilling in 2024 discovered shallow gold and silver mineralization, justifying follow-up drilling, within a land position of 438 hectares.

Empire Creek in Washington State, includes a high-grade epithermal gold–silver project on the Republic Graben structural corridor near Kinross Gold’s former K2 Mine. The project has historic multi-gram gold and silver drill intercepts and surface anomalies.

Talisman in Washington State, is a past-producing copper-tungsten-silver mine. Drilling provides exposure to critical-metal opportunity in a secure jurisdiction.

According to Mark Kolebaba, President & Chief Executive Officer, Adamera offers investors exposure to multiple potential discoveries on properties within districts that host major historic discoveries. Adamera’s portfolio, a mix of gold, silver, copper, and tungsten targets, is suited to the commodity cycle. The projects have advanced from conceptual geology to defined drill-ready targets using geological, geochemical, and geophysical data.

Adamera’s Washington State projects are near an underutilized Kinross Gold’s treatment facility located 14 kilometers (km) from the Company’s gold projects. The Buckhorn 2.0 Project surrounds the past-producing Buckhorn Gold Mine, a high-grade skarn deposit that produced approximately 1.3 million ounces of gold. Adamera has compiled and reinterpreted data, generating over 30 drill targets. Key gold targets include Keystone, where drilling returned 45 g/t gold over 1.5 metres (m). Adamera intersected near-surface mineralization with 4.0 g/t gold associated with magnetite skarn. Buckhorn 2.0 also hosts copper–silver potential, with historic drill holes intersecting 4.3% copper over 6m and another 1% copper over 13m. Surface rock samples includes copper values ranging from 0.1 to 5.9% copper and silver values from 1 to 376 g/t and locally very high historic silver assays (55,420 g/t Ag and 82,960g/t Ag).

Flag Hill is located in the Republic Gold-Silver District. Adamera completed 3 shallow drill holes at Flag Hill South in 2024. Drilling intersected 2.0 metres grading 3.0 g/t gold and 10.8 g/t silver, and 2.2 metres grading 1.8 g/t gold and 71.2 g/t silver, with over-limit analyses indicating silver values approaching 125 g/t silver.

Empire Creek lies along the structural corridor that hosts the historic K2 and Granny mines. Historic drilling at Empire Creek intercepted 15.2 metres grading 10.5 g/t gold and 183.3 g/t silver. Work by Adamera has identified gold anomalies in soil and rock.

The Talisman Project hosts a tungsten mine that supplied strategic metals during World War II. Rock sampling by Adamera has returned tungsten values up to 2,600 ppm, with associated copper values from 0.54% to 4.6%, silver values ranging from 1 to 1,000 g/t, zinc up to 6.9%, and lead up to 12.8%.

The South Hedley Gold-Copper Project is located within the historic Hedley Gold Camp. Recent results indicate that South Hedley has the potential to emerge as one of southern B.C.’s newest discovery stage areas. Through mapping, soil geochemistry and geophysics Adamera has defined gold and gold-copper targets. Both the Max and Glix prospects are drill-ready.

The Max Prospect represents a gold–copper system concealed beneath younger volcanic cover. The discovery soil sample returned 1,340 ppb gold (1.34 g/t Au). Follow-up soil sampling expanded the anomaly, returning gold values up to 1.61 g/t Au and an associated copper anomaly with copper values ranging from 100 ppm to 1,450 ppm copper.

The Glix Prospect represents a gold discovery. Soil sampling has returned gold values ranging from background to a maximum of 4,283 ppb gold (4.3 g/t Au). Multiple anomalous samples define a corridor that is spatially associated with a conductive and magnetic geophysical response extending for more than 400 metres.

The South Hedley Project now encompasses more than 19,000 hectares in the southern Hedley Gold Camp. Additional gold–copper prospects are advancing beyond the early reconnaissance stage.

The Company’s strategy is to advance drill-ready targets. Exploration will be funded through a combination of equity financing and potential joint venture partnerships. Short-term plans include targets at Flag Hill South and targets at South Hedley, particularly the Max and Glix prospects.
