Folks, some may have noticed my absence these past few weeks...but then perhaps not. This site has become little more than a place of empty vessels making a lot of noise and I tend not to visit much anymore.

To show that there are no hard feelings and because I want to ramp this stock I'm posting their release which came out today. You may find it worth putting in your little black book. It is quite close to RBK property (I recall suggesting to HC members at least a year ago that RBK was a stock to watch though I notice others claiming credit) and, on the surface of it looks just as promising.

Also note that there are only 20 million odd shares so that while liquidity may be a problem, when it moves, it will move fast.

So far, not much action but definitely worth watching.

I hold...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Directors of Adamus Resources are pleased to announce that the
Company has executed agreements whereby Adamus Resources will acquire
90% of the Salman Gold Project, an advanced and highly prospective
exploration gold project located in Ghana, West Africa.

The project contains substantial mineralization and excellent
exploration potential as well as a number of other important
attributes including:

* Located in Ghana, West Africa, the World's 10th largest and
Africa's 2nd largest gold producer by country (2.5M oz/year)

* Situated on the Ashanti Shear Zone - host to over 60 million ounces
of gold.

* Well-defined, high order of magnitude soil anomaly (+200ppb) that
extends for over 4,000 metres along-strike.

* Preliminary trench sampling results have identified a number of
substantial zones of near surface mineralization including: l00m @
6.lg/t gold.

* Initial Reverse Circulation drilling results include (see table and
sections for details):

SRC 17, 73m @ 2.8g/t gold from surface
Inc, 21m @ 8g/t gold
SRC 18, 42m @ 3.2g/t gold from surface
SRC 82, 85m @ 2.2g/t gold from 20m

* Both the style of mineralization and geological setting are
comparable to the Bogosu gold mine (40km along-strike to the north)
which has successfully mined oxide ore for over 10 years.

* Excellent proximity to infrastructure with the project located less
than 50km by road from the port city of Takoradi and less than 15km
from the town of Axim.

Independent experts, Resource Services Group conclude "Highly likely
a significant oxide and primary resource will be identified at
Salman".

Proposed transactions under the agreements are summarised as
follows:

Adamus is to acquire 100% of both the Afrowest Gold Limited and
Hightime Investments Enterprises Pty Ltd interests together
comprising the Salman Gold Project, in consideration for the issue of
a total of approximately 10.1 million ordinary shares in Adamus.

* Adamus will also acquire in-country exploration equipment and will
have direct access to existing expertise.

* Following the acquisition Adamus will own 90% of the Salman Project
with the remaining 10% controlled by the Ghanaian government.

* The acquisition is subject to Adamus shareholder approval.

PROJECT LOCATION AND PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

The Salman Gold Project is located in southern Ghana, West Africa,
situated on the southern extension of the Ashanti Shear Zone. The
project consists of a number of tenements covering a total area of 84
square kilometres, with access gained via 50km of good quality roads
from the port city of Takoradi, some 300 km of sealed roads from
capital city, Accra.

The majority of exploration completed within the project area was
conducted by BHP in the mid 1990's. In total BHP completed 71 Reverse
Circulation drill holes for a total of 6,961 metres and four Diamond
holes for a total of 571 metres. Results from the drilling confirmed
mineralization extended over a strike length of 4,000 metres. As the
drilling was completed on very broad spaced lines (300-500 metres
apart), a meaningful resource was never calculated.

Subsequent exploration has focused on further delineating
mineralisation within the main identified zone and on delineating new
targets through closer-spaced, surface sampling techniques.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

Geology within the tenements is dominated by a sequence of NNE
trending, sheared and folded interbedded greywackes and carbonaceous
phyllites. Regionally these Proterozoic rocks are part of the Upper
Birimian unit, which typically hosts significant mineralisation as it
comes into contact with the Ashanti Shear Zone. Mineralization within
the Stillman Project is no exception, with gold occurring in
sulphides within quartz/carbonate veining hosted in fractured and
brecciated tuffaceous greywackes.

Exploration completed within the Salman Project to date has
identified several zones of substantial mineralisation located over
several kilometres of strike. The Company believes there is potential
to identify a significant resource within the existing zone of
mineralisation and there is also potential for further mineralisation
associated with parallel structures.

COMPANY FOCUS

Following shareholder approval relating to the acquisition of the
Salman Gold Project the Company intends initiating an exploration
program designed to both determine the precise geometry and nature of
the mineralisation as well as provide data for a future resource
calculation.

Adamus will continue to advance its existing Australian projects with
its available cash resources.

The Company is currently completing a Notice Of Meeting ("NOM") which
will detail the various resolutions proposed by the Company relating
to the acquisition of the Salman Project. Included in the NOM will be
an Independent Geological Report and a Valuation of the Salman Gold
Project. These documents will be included in the NOM to provide
shareholders with independent and detailed geological information
relating to all aspects of the Salman Gold Project.

Following careful consideration and due diligence, the Directors of
Adamus believe that the acquisition and exploration of the Salman
Gold Project will provide shareholders with valuable exposure to a
quality project in a rising gold market.
