BC Copper-Gold Explorer Traces Max Anomaly Across 1.6 km

Source: Streetwise Reports 09/18/2026

Adamera Minerals traces the Max copper-gold IP anomaly across 1.6 km of strike at South Hedley in British Columbia. See the latest survey results, next catalysts, and analyst targets.

Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ:TSX.V; DDNFF:OTCMKTS) reported three new induced polarization survey lines at the 100%-owned South Hedley property in southern British Columbia, in a recent press release. The latest line L2200 placed anomalous chargeability directly beside the highest copper and gold values in soil recorded at the target.

This 1.6 km strike extension matters immediately for retail investors because copper demand is rising from data-center construction and defense spending. The company is advancing a large, open-ended target while sector prices show strength into 2026 and 2027.

Why the Max Target Stands Out in Southern British Columbia

The Max anomaly sits inside the Quesnel Trough, a well-known copper-gold belt. Soil samples reach 1,450 ppm copper and 1.34 g/t gold. Five IP lines spaced 400 m apart show chargeability between 3 km and 4 km wide on individual north-south lines.

The response continues below 300 m depth and appears to start beneath volcanic cover. Resistivity readings are consistent with disseminated sulphides in resistive host rock. The western edge may be defined where chargeability weakens on line L1400, yet the eastern side stays open for further surveying.

Key Investor Takeaways

• The chargeability anomaly now spans 1.6 km of strike and remains open to the east, supported by peak soil values of 1,450 ppm copper and 1.34 g/t gold.
• Adamera is completing additional IP lines, processing 2,000 soil samples, and advancing drill permits for both the Max and Glix targets.
• Copper demand is shifting toward AI infrastructure, defense, and power grids, with these sectors projected to reach 45% of total demand by 2040.
• Market capitalization stands at CA$13.32 million with 66.6 million shares outstanding.

Next Catalysts at Max and Glix

Adamera plans to run line L3400 east of the current coverage and complete inversion modeling of the new geophysical data.

Adamera’s next catalysts also include assay results from the 2,000 soil samples collected in 2026. Drill-permit applications for the Max copper-gold target and the Glix gold skarn target continue to move forward.

Sector Tailwinds Support Copper and Tungsten Prices

Global copper demand is moving toward less price-sensitive sectors such as AI infrastructure, defense, power grids, and clean energy.

A Businessworld report noted these categories could account for nearly 45% of copper demand by 2040, up from 32% in 2024. Trump’s July 30, 2025, proclamation also flagged potential phased tariffs on refined copper starting in 2027. U.S. tariffs on certain copper products, including a 50% Section 232 tariff that took effect in August 2025, were modified in April 2026, with rates and coverage varying by copper article and derivative product.

Tungsten, another metal Adamera explores in Washington State, posted strong gains. According to an article by Mining.com, its market value reached roughly US$16 billion this year. The World Bank projected its metals and minerals price index will rise 17% in 2026, Brian Taylor of Recycling Today wrote.

Analyst Views and Valuation Context

¹John Newell of John Newell & Associates focused on Adamera’s established reputation as a gold explorer and called the stock a Speculative Buy near CA$0.10, citing upcoming drill programs and leverage to higher gold prices.

²On April 24, 2026, Technical Analyst Stewart Thomson discussed the company’s progress, noting a potential breakout from a six-year channel and assigning price targets of CA$0.28 short-term, CA$0.80 medium-term, and CA$1.50 long-term. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-6736]
