Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets and Mineral Resources is based on the information compiled by Mr Patrick Adams, of Cube Consulting Pty Ltd (Perth). Mr Adams has sufficient relevant professional experience with open pit and underground mining, exploration and development of mineral deposits similar to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of JORC Code He has visited the project area and observed drilling, logging and sampling techniques used by Infinity Lithium in collection of data used in the preparation of this report. Mr Adams is an employee of Cube Consulting Pty Ltd and consents to be named in this release and the report as it is presented.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on the information compiled or reviewed by Mr Adrian Byass, B.Sc Hons (Geol), B.Econ, FSEG, MAIG and an employee of Infinity Lithium. Mr Byass has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code. Mr Byass consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
Pre-Feasibility Study – Cautionary Statement
The Study referred to in this announcement is a preliminary technical and economic investigation of the potential viability of the San José Lithium Project. It is based on low accuracy technical and economic assessments, (+/- 25% accuracy) however is sufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage; or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realised. Infinity is in Joint Venture (‘JV’) with Valoriza Mineria SA, a subsidiary of SACYR S.A. Infinity have independently engaged the services of Wave International Pty Ltd (‘Wave’) to assess the technical and economic viability with regards to producing battery grade lithium hydroxide under the San José Lithium Project. Whilst the Pre-Feasibility Study has yielded robust outcomes and provided independent perspective on the opportunity to produce battery grade lithium hydroxide, there is no guarantee that the JV will choose to adopt the outcomes of the study.
The Production Target referred to in this presentation is based on 100% Probable Reserves for the life of mine life covered under the Study. In accordance with the thirty (30) year mine plan incorporated into the Study, the first three (3) years of production (covering payback period) will come 100% from Probable Reserves.
The Study is based on the material assumptions outlined below and include assumptions about the availability of funding. While the Company considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Study will be achieved. To achieve the potential mine development outcomes indicated in the Study, additional funding will be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise funding when needed however the Company has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward looking statements included in this announcement and believes that it has a “reasonable basis” to expect it will be able to fund the development of the San José lithium deposit.
To achieve the outcomes indicated in this Study, initial funding in the order of US$309m (which includes a 15.3% contingency) will likely be required, and US$318m (including a 15.3% contingency) over the life of the Project. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Infinity will be able to raise funding when needed. Infinity holds a total of 75% interest in the San Jose Lithium Project, with Valoriza Mineria holding the balance of 25% interest. It is also possible that Infinity can pursue a range of funding strategies to provide funding options. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of Infinity’s existing shares. It is also possible that Infinity could pursue other value realisation strategies such as sale, partial sale, or joint venture of the Project. If it does, this could materially reduce Infinity’s proportionate ownership of the Project. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of this Pre-Feasibility Study.
