Program Underway At The New Flag Hill South Gold Property
VANCOUVER - Adamera Minerals Corp. reported that drilling is underway on the new Flag Hill South Gold Property located near the town of Republic in Washington State. The first target being tested is a partially outcropping high-grade segment of a vein referred to as C-3 vein that has yielded assays up to 6.6g/t gold. The site is highlighted by a significant deviation in the strike of the structure. Drill hole FHS-24-01is being drilled at a dip of -45o to intersect the steeply dipping vein approximately 30m below the surface. Subsequent holes will be down dip and/or along strike. Later, the drill will move to a second target on the property, a segment on the C-3 Vein with high-grade gold assays up to 9.1 g/t.
The Flag Hill South Property is located in the Republic Gold District, the largest gold producing area in Washington State. More than 4 million ounces of gold averaging 24g/t and 15.8 million ounces of silver averaging 110 g/t were reportedly produced in the district before Hecla Mining suspended mining operations in 1996. Flag Hill South is located on private land within the Republic Gold District approximately 10 km from the Kinross Kettle River Gold Mill.
