+++++++++++++++++++++++++ SALMAN PROJECT PRODUCES EXCEPTIONAL DRILLING RESULTS - INCLUDING 75 METRES @ 3.1g/t GOLD FROM SURFACE
The Directors of Adamus Resources are pleased to announce initial results from the Company's first drilling program at its 100% owned Salman Gold Project located on the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana, West Africa. Assays have been received from the first 17 drill holes, identifying substantial gold mineralisation in the top 80 metres. The following table summarizes significant results to date.

The results tabulated above are the first part of a comprehensive drill program consisting of approximately 50 RC holes, designed to test one section, of an insitu gold anomaly that extends for over 4 kilometres along strike. The drill program has been focused on two specific areas within the 4 kilometre long anomaly, namely the Central Zone and Northern Zone. These areas demonstrated substantial mineralisation at surface with trench sampling recording up to 100m at 6.1g/t gold.
On completion of the program both the Central and Northern Zones, which have a combined strike length of 1.2 kilometres, will have been drill tested down to a line spacing of 50 metres. The results will provide both assay data and geological information to assist in defining a gold resource and in building a geological model for the mineralisation at Salman.
The drill program is on-going with results due periodically over the next six to eight weeks.
