On May 13, 2026, Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ:TSX.V) announced it had received approval from The B.C. Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals to conduct IP surveys of its South Hedley Copper-Gold property in British Columbia, Canada.
Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera Minerals, said in the release: "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 South Hedley property is located within the Quesnel terrane, a globally recognized geological belt often referred to as the B.C. copper-gold trough. The Glix prospect is located roughly 15km from the Max prospect, and recent exploration there has yielded soil samples with up to 4 g/t gold.
Adamera Minerals Corp. is a Canadian company with a traditional focus on high-grade gold, silver, and copper exploration in B.C. and Washington, U.S. The company is also positioning itself to provide an uninterrupted domestic supply of tungsten to the U.S. market.
Copper-Gold to Remain Crucial
As traditional safe-haven assets, the metals sectors have been holding steady against inflation uncertainty during the U.S.-Iran War. While rising prices have slowed, gold has performed well over the past year. Yahoo Finance reported gold prices over the past year on May 14, 2026: "One week ago: -0.2%. One month ago: -1.5%. One year ago: +45.3%. Gold's year-over-year growth was 95.6% on Jan. 29." June gold futures opened at US$4,696.80 per troy ounce on Thursday, down 0.2% from Wednesday's close. The price of gold moved slightly higher this morning, trading at US$4,702.90 as of 6:25 a.m. ET.
Copper prices, on the other hand, are continuing to boom due to industrial demand and the rise of AI data centers. On May 12, 2026, Piyush Shukla of The Economic Times wrote that, "Copper prices are soaring aggressively in 2026 as copper futures smash record highs above US$14,000 per ton and COMEX copper crosses US$6.50 per pound. The rally is no longer only about manufacturing demand. AI data center construction is now driving a massive global copper rush. China's factory recovery, Middle East sulfuric acid shortages, and tightening mine supply are deepening the global copper crunch." In April, S&P Global wrote that while copper and gold have experienced different markets so far in 2026, the magazine believes that they are ". . . now converging around a shared theme: structural tightness meeting macro resistance." The article went on to say, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows."

Analyst Finds Gold Portfolio Compelling Copper-Gold to Remain Crucial
1John Newell of John Newell & Associates focused on Adamera's established reputation as a gold explorer in a February 11, 2026, opinion piece for Streetwise Reports. He wrote: "For investors seeking leverage to a strengthening gold market, Adamera represents a 'Speculative Buy' around CA$0.10, with the understanding that success largely hinges on upcoming drilling programs."
He went on to say, "As always, position sizing and risk management matter. But in a rising metal price environment, this is the type of setup that can often surprise to the upside." Newell considers Adamera's Flag Hill South project in the Republic Gold District of Washington as one of the most immediate value drivers the company owns.
2On April 23, 2026, Stewart Thomson discussed the company's progress, writing, "A breakout from a six-year channel seems imminent and would usher in substantial upside price action." Thomson gave the company a short-term price target of CA$0.28, a medium-term target of CA$0.80, and a long-term target of CA$1.50.
