[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - May 7, 2026 – Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ADZ; OTC: DDNFF) (“Adamera” or the “Company”) announces the staking of a third tungsten property, 14 kilometres east of the Talisman Tungsten Project in Washington State. The new Pierre Creek Tungsten property is a strategic claim block that secures a tungsten (scheelite) bearing skarn deposit (see map below). This concludes the staking program in Washington State. Exploration to include geophysical, geochemical and geological work to define drill targets is being initiated. \"Securing the Pierre Creek property alongside our Tungsten Ridge and Talisman projects positions Adamera as a significant participant in American tungsten exploration,\" states Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera Minerals. \"Critical minerals development continues to be a focus for the country.\" Adamera will be discussing its tungsten strategy and 2026 field program at the upcoming Metals and Investors Conference on May 8, 2026. Market Context: Tungsten, The Essential Metal Tungsten's unique physical properties, including hardness, high density, and extreme high melting point, make it an essential element in machining, electronics, aircraft manufacture, and military applications. These unique physical properties mean that tungsten cannot be easily substituted by other metals or materials, which has made it relatively price-insensitive for most uses. As a result of global conflicts, military application demand is expected to increase by approximately 12% in 2026, with similar demand growth expected in coming years. Tungsten is considered a critical metal. Due to its heavy use in industrial and military applications, Western governments are actively seeking to increase non-Chinese supply. The global market is in a structural deficit, and many countries favor local producers. In response to the supply squeeze, the US military, via the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC), recently invited companies to submit proposals to boost domestic supplies of critical minerals, explicitly targeting tungsten. High-quality tungsten deposits are rare, and timelines for permitting and developing mines worldwide are long. While new production coming on stream will help, tungsten prices are likely to remain well above historical levels for an extended period of time. Abo...
