On September 8, 2026, Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ:TSX.V; DDNFF:OTCMKTS) announced that it had filed applications for the Bromley claims, adding more than 4,700 hectares to its 100%-owned South Hedley property in British Columbia, Canada. These new claims extend the northwestern edge of South Hedley approximately 12 kilometers (km) westward to the eastern claim boundary of HudBay Minerals Inc.'s (HBM:TSX; HBM:NYSE) Copper Mountain mine claims.
The Bromley claims cover an approximately 12-by-4 km corridor concealed beneath younger volcanic rocks. According to the release, Adamera believes it has identified distinct magnetic features in the area, and the company interprets the ground as part of a 40 km east-west structural and metallogenic corridor connecting the producing Copper Mountain mine with the historic Nickel Plate mine near Hedley. The company's Max copper-gold target is located within this interpreted corridor.
Adamera interprets the corridor as a deep-seated structural feature along the southern margin of the Bromley Batholith that may have acted as a conduit for mineralizing magmas over an approximately 15-million-year metallogenic period. The company believes smaller, highly fractionated intrusions associated with this corridor may have controlled copper-gold mineralization in the district. These new claims extend west from South Hedley, where an ongoing induced polarization (IP) survey at the Max copper-gold target has defined a chargeability anomaly ranging from 3 to 4 kilometers in width.
Adamera Minerals Corp. is targeting critical metals in the U.S. and copper-gold in southern British Columbia. In Washington State, the company is advancing a tungsten portfolio intended to support a secure domestic supply for U.S. markets.
Copper Tariffs Set to Rise
Demand for copper is expected to rise due to continued use in electronics, especially with the widespread construction of new data centers and defense applications in the U.S. A report from Businessworld claimed that "global copper demand is gradually shifting towards strategic and less price-sensitive sectors such as AI infrastructure, defense, power grids, and clean energy systems. By 2040, these categories are expected to account for nearly 45% of total copper demand, up from 32% in 2024."
Last year, the prospect of President Donald Trump's tariffs helped drive copper prices higher in the U.S. as American buyers stockpiled the metal. This contributed to elevated inventories and a widening premium between U.S. futures and physical copper markets.
"Collectively, inventories at the world's main exchanges have risen by more than 500,000 tons since the start of the year," stated a March 6 article by Bloomberg News.
Trump's July 30, 2025, proclamation imposed a 50% Section 232 tariff on the value of the copper content of covered semi-finished copper and copper-intensive derivative products, effective August 1, 2025. Effective April 6, 2026, the U.S. expanded its Section 232 tariff regime so that applicable duties on covered copper products were generally calculated on the full customs value rather than solely on the copper content. The change contributed to a sharp narrowing of the COMEX copper premium. The 2025 proclamation also called for consideration of a phased universal tariff on refined copper of 15% starting in 2027 and 30% starting in 2028.
Adamera also explores for tungsten. Tungsten is a niche metal market, but its performance has rivaled larger markets. "Project Blue estimates its value at about US$16 billion this year — roughly 5% of the copper market at current prices. It is also far more opaque and illiquid, as it does not trade on major exchanges. Even so, its gains over the past year have far outpaced those of commodities such as gold and oil," according to an article by Mining.com. As one of the strongest metals in the world, its use in weaponry is critical in a time of war.
The metals sector as a whole is also showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said that the World Bank Group has projected that its metals and minerals price index will rise 17% in 2026.
Thomson Sees Breakout From Channel
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 24, 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.
Max, Glix Permits Still Pending
According to the release, the Bromley claim applications remain subject to approval. If approved, Adamera expects initial exploration to include prospecting, sampling, and potentially airborne geophysics to help define drill targets.
At South Hedley, the company is also advancing the Max copper-gold target, a covered porphyry target defined by copper-gold soil geochemistry, magnetic and IP data, and the Glix gold skarn target. Drill permit applications for both targets were submitted in February 2026 and remain pending.

Q: What is the South Hedley property?
A: South Hedley is Adamera Minerals' 100%-owned exploration property in British Columbia, where the company is exploring for copper-gold mineralization, including its Max and Glix targets.
Q: What is a porphyry copper-gold deposit?
A: A porphyry copper-gold deposit is a large mineral system in which copper and potentially gold are disseminated through or around intrusive igneous rocks, often forming broad mineralized zones.
Q: What is Adamera's Max target?
A: Max is a covered copper-gold exploration target at South Hedley defined by copper-gold soil geochemistry, magnetic data, and induced polarization results. The target is located within the broader corridor interpreted by Adamera.
Q: What is an induced polarization, or IP, survey?
A: An IP survey is a geophysical exploration method that measures how rocks respond to an applied electrical current. Certain mineralized rocks, including those containing sulphides, can produce elevated chargeability responses.
Q: What does a chargeability anomaly indicate?
A: A chargeability anomaly is a geophysical response that can indicate the presence of materials capable of storing electrical charge. In mineral exploration, elevated chargeability can be associated with sulphide mineralization, although additional geological work and drilling are generally required to determine its source.
Q: How large is the IP anomaly at South Hedley?
A: Adamera's ongoing IP survey has identified a chargeability anomaly approximately 3 to 4 kilometers wide in the South Hedley area.
Q: What is the Bromley Batholith?
A: The Bromley Batholith is a large intrusive rock body in the South Hedley area. Adamera interprets a deep-seated structural feature along its southern margin as a potential conduit for mineralizing magmas.
Q: What are Adamera Minerals' next catalysts at South Hedley?
A: Potential catalysts include approval of the Bromley claim applications, additional prospecting and sampling, potential airborne geophysics, continued IP work and approval of pending drill permits for the Max and Glix targets.
Q: Why is copper important to the energy and technology sectors?
A: Copper is widely used in electrical and electronic applications, while demand is also expected to grow from data centers, defense, power grids and clean-energy infrastructure. The article cites projections that these strategic sectors could account for nearly 45% of global copper demand by 2040.
