Adamera Minerals Corp. drilling has identified a new gold zone on the VTEM-1 target at the Buckhorn 2.0 Gold Project in Washington State. Drill hole BM22-02, an angled hole drilled from west to east, intersected shallow gold zones on each side of a massive magnetite skarn.

The upper western zone returned 3.8 g/t gold over 1.2m from 12.8m to 14m downhole. The lower eastern zone yielded 4.0 g/t gold over 1.6m from 22.8m to 24.4m depth. The magnetite unit itself has elevated gold values.

In the upper zone gold is associated with brecciated skarn containing silica, sulfide and magnetite infill. Both zones appear to have undergone late-stage gold enrichment. Significantly, the BM22-02 intersections fall within a well defined magnetic target associated with VTEM-1. The magnetie anomaly is traceable for several hundred metres and is a straightforward target for follow up drilling.

Geophysical modelling of data associated with VTEM-1 generated a conductive steeply-dipping tabular zone suggestive of sulfides within a magnetite skarn. The Buckhorn gold mine, located 700m from VTEM-1, is a gold-rich skarn with magnetite and sulfides. It likely would have had a comparable geophysical signature.

Buckhorn is still held by Kinross Gold although the deposit is mined out. It produced 1.3 million ounces of gold at a grade of 13 g/t. The nearby Kettle River gold mill is currently on care and maintenance. Trace element geochemistry is pending for drill hole BM22-02.

The Company has received results for other targets and is currently reviewing the data.
