Adamera Provides Update on Golden Reward Property

Vancouver, BC, November 21, 2013
- Adamera
Minerals Corp. (TSX V: ADZ) - has
received airborne magnetic and radiometric data for the Golden
Reward Property in Washington State. The data was recently
collected by Kinross Gold Corporation as part of a survey that
covered their Toroda Creek Project as well as surrounding land
including Adamera's Golden Reward property. It was provided to
Adamera at no cost to the Company.
The Golden
Reward property covers the southern portion of a low sulphidation
gold bearing epithermal system comprising some 1300 acres (526
hectares) of private land. Since Adamera secured the project,
Kinross acquired public land that covers a northern extension of
the epithermal system. The project area is located 59 kilometres
from the Kinross Mill.
The
airborne magnetic data appears to better define local disruptions
of linear trends that were not clearly defined by the earlier
ground magnetic survey completed by Adamera. Local disruptions of
known gold bearing structures constitute priority exploration
targets that are considered favourable for wider zones of gold
mineralization.
The new
radiometric data shows elevated potassium along part of the main
structure. Potassium is a common alteration product associated with
epithermal gold systems. Importantly, the potassium anomaly is
coincident with soil pathfinder elements, particularly arsenic.
Other airborne potassium anomalies in areas not yet covered by soil
samples exist on the property. These anomalies may represent new
exploration targets on parallel structures.
Alteration
systems surrounding epithermal gold deposits are often destructive
to magnetite and may therefore result in magnetic lows anomalies. A
magnetic low is coincident with a potassium high in an area of
anomalous gold and trace elements.
"This is a classic gold bearing
epithermal structure that is essentially untested at depth.
Previous intercepts from limited drilling at less than 100 metres
depth intercepted about 1.0 g/t gold over 20 metres. The
identification of structural disruptions and alteration that may
represent high-grade gold targets is a significant breakthrough for
the property," says Mark Kolebaba,
President and CEO of Adamera.
Jim Ebisch, P.Geol is the Qualified
Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 reviewing the data
in this release.
Adamera's strategy in
Washington State is to discover high-grade gold mineralization near
the Kinross Kettle River Mill. The Kinross mill is reported to be
operating at half capacity with ore shipped 70 kilometres from the
1.3 million ounce Buckhorn mine. The Buckhorn mine has only 2 years
mine life remaining. Average grade of the Buckhorn mine is 11.3 g/t
gold and production costs are reported to be between $420 and $500
per ounce. Adamera is currently exploring
five projects with high-grade gold potential within hauling
distance of the Kinross Mill.
