$3.4m Strategic Placement to Fast Track Portland Creek Uranium Exploration
Capital being raised to expedite the Portland Creek Uranum Project exploration activities. Funds will be used to build on the successful identification of a large scale fault system and multiple magnetic anomalies coinciding with exceptional uranium soil results up to 74,997ppm (7.5%) U3O8
Highlights
$3.4 million capital raise to expedite geochemical sampling and maiden diamond drilling at the highly prospective Portland Creek Uranium Project
Company plans to build on recent successful programs at Portland Creek with growing confidence in its highly prospective Talus Uranium Prospect. UAV magnetics have highlighted a large ~2km long primary fault zone with a network of interpreted NE-SW trending splay faults that may be controlling the ~235m x 100m high grade soil anomaly with a peak soil assay result of 74,997 ppm U3O8
Infini Resources board to participate for $1 million, subject to shareholder approval
Infini Resources Ltd (ASX: I88 , “Infini” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments for a $3.4 million capital raising (before costs) via the issue of 5.67 million ordinary shares at an offer price of $0.60 per share (“New Shares”), together with a 1-for-1 free attaching option exercisable at $1.00 each (“New Options”) (“the Placement”).
The Placement comprises a $2.4 million investment from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors and $1 million in commitments from Infini’s directors (subject to shareholder approval).
The support from new and existing shareholders, in addition to strong participation from Infini’s board demonstrates strong confidence in Infini’s vision and growth strategies for the Portland Creek Uranium Project and uranium markets.
Infini’s Managing Director, Charles Armstrong said : “We are thrilled to successfully complete this strategic capital raise at a time when the Company just recently announced one of the world’s highest grade uranium soil anomalies sitting proximal to major structural targets. This new investment not only validates the potential of our Portland Creek Uranium Project but also positions us strongly to capitalise on the growing demand for reliable energy. The funds raised will allow us to fast-track our exploration work, recommencing this month, with the aim to create substantial value for our shareholders.”

Talus Prospect Work Underway, Portland Creek
Current work being undertaken in follow up of these excellent first phase geochemical and geophysical results include: geochemical pathfinder studies, glacial geomorphological studies and the planning of urgent fieldwork to follow up existing anomalous surface geochemistry and UAV magnetic structures that have not been sampled (Figures 1-2). These activities continue to advance the Company towards the execution of a maiden diamond drill program later in the year that will test a series of conceptual models. A large number of robust drill targets will be tested with the aim of discovering a new uranium deposit.
