ASX Announcement | 19 July 2022
COPPER-NICKEL-GOLD TARGETS DEFINED FOR DRILLING AT INFINITY’S HILLSIDE PROJECT, PILBARA WA
Highlights:
-
Infinity’s SkyTEM Helicopter electromagnetic (EM) survey initially identified 18 high-priority EM conductive anomalies, which may represent massive-sulphide accumulations containing copper, nickel and gold.
-
The SkyTEM data was recently re-interpreted by Infinity, with 9 of the highest-priority targets selected for drill testing.
-
Rock chip and soil geochemical surveys carried out by Infinity at Hillside returned anomalous Cu-Ni-Au results, which have upgraded the priority status of some of the EM targets.
One of the rock chip samples returned 7.08% Cu and two further rock chip samples returned 30.25 ppm Au and 21.89 ppm Au.
- Planning has begun to drill test the 9 high-priority SkyTEM targets during 2022.
Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to announce that 9 high-priority SkyTEM targets at the Hillside Project ( Hillside ) in the Pilbara Region of WA have been selected for drill testing during 2022.
The Hillside Project comprises four tenements (E45/4685, E45/4708, E45/4709, E45/4824) covering 397.5 km[2] , and is located approximately 50 km south of Marble Bar, WA. The project lies in the mineral-rich Pilbara region, which is host to copper-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits such as Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves (see Figure 1).
Geological Setting
The Hillside Project is located in the Archaean Coongan Greenstone Belt, which includes the North Star Basalt, Mount Ada Basalt, Euro Basalt, Duffer Formation and Strelley Pool Formation. The Hillside tenement package is focused along the N-S trending greenstone belt, with granite intrusions lying to the east and west.
The Pilbara region is prospective for a range of metalliferous deposits including VMS-style copperlead-zinc mineralisation, Komatiite-hosted Nickel-sulphide deposits and shear-hosted gold deposits. Significant Lithium deposits are also present in this region (see Figure 1).

Historical Exploration
The Hillside Project has been previously explored by various companies such as Alcoa in 1980, Great Southern Mining in 1984, Barcome Limited in 1993 and Haoma Mining in 2010. These historical work programs included mainly surface geochemical surveys with no previous drilling known in the tenement area. Details of these programs are included in the Infinity Prospectus dated 28 October 2021.

Historical rock chip sampling was focused along a mapped semi-continuous outcropping N-S trending gossan zone, some 14 km in strike length, which shows strong potential for significant copper mineralisation. Surface rock chip samples of this gossan zone, which shows abundant malachite in places returned anomalous copper assays. For example, Great Southern Mining rock chip samples (1984) returned 20 samples over 1000 ppm Cu, with a maximum of 78000 ppm (7.8% Cu)[1] .
Previous Infinity Exploration
Infinity completed a SkyTEM survey in 2018, which identified 18 high-priority EM conductor anomalies (see details below).
During 2019, FE Limited (under JV with Infinity) completed a scout drilling program of 36 RC drill holes for a total of 1798 m. Drilling was focused along the gossan trend. Assay results were anomalous in copper (up to 0.74% Cu over 1 m). Details of this drilling program are included in the Infinity Prospectus dated 28 October 2021. This initial drilling program did not target the SkyTEM anomalies, and these targets remain untested.
In late 2021, Infinity completed a soil sampling and rock chip sampling program at Hillside (see details below).
2018 SkyTEM Survey
Electromagnetics (EM) is a common exploration tool in the search for sulphide mineralisation containing Copper-Nickel-Gold, and in particular for copper-rich VMS systems. A Helicopter-borne EM survey (SkyTEM) was flown by Infinity in 2018 to identify conductive anomalies which may represent buried sulphide mineralisation.
A total of 846 line-km was flown at 150 m line spacing covering a total area of 127 km[2] . Data was captured across two areas - Area 1 in the north covering 76 km[2] and Area 2 in the south covering 51km[2] (see Figure 2). Survey details are provided in the JORC (2012) Table 1 attached.
The SkyTEM data was initially processed by Newexco geophysicists in Perth, with the objective of identifying conductive anomalies that may be sourced by bedrock conductors such as copper-nickel massive sulphide accumulations. All observed anomalies were ranked, with a total of 18 high-ranked anomalies considered to be worthy of follow-up work and drilling. The high-ranked anomalies are interpreted as being isolated, and may be sourced by bedrock conductors, which in some cases could be associated with massive sulphide accumulations containing copper, nickel and other metals such as gold.
The SkyTEM data was recently re-interpreted by Infinity and 9 of the highest-priority targets have been selected for drill testing. The locations of the 9 proposed holes (HS22PDH03 to 12) are shown on Figure 2. Some of the anomalies are located in proximity to historical copper mine workings, interpreted fault structures and anomalous geochemical results which has upgraded their priority status.

Soil Sampling 2021
A total of 312 soil samples were collected by Infinity in late 2021, within 3 areas, along 400 m spaced eastwest lines, with 50 m spaced samples along each line. These samples were sieved to minus 80 mesh and analysed by a Niton portable XRF. The multi-element assay results show elevated copper and nickel values in both the northern and southern survey areas (see Figure 3). Soil samples returned up to 380 ppm Cu and 1009 ppm Ni and partially defined the gossanous zone. Soils in the northern grid also exhibited elevated Cobalt. Details are provided in the JORC (2012) Table 1 attached.

Rock Chip Sampling 2021
A total of 34 rock chip samples were collected by Infinity in late 2021. Assay results for the key elements are included below in Table 1. Details are provided in the JORC (2012) Table 1 attached.
Rock chip sampling focused mostly on gossanous rocks and quartz veining identified at surface. Several high-grade gold assays were returned including 30.25 ppm Au and 21.89 ppm Au (see Figure 3). These high-grade gold samples come from gossanous material located along a fault zone in the southern part of the project area. The highest copper assay of 70771 ppm Cu (7.08% Cu) is located in the southern area along a strong magnetic feature associated with a ferruginous chert.

Infinity Mining CEO, Mr Joe Groot, commented:
‘’This large prospect has always promised lots of potential for hosting copper-nickel sulphide deposits, but the source of the soil and rock surface expressions have to date, excluded previous exploration companies.
The Infinity geological team has now combined all the historic exploration, drilling and ground/air geophysical surveys with a comprehensive soil and rock chip program. This next planned Hillside drilling program will be the best chance of identifying and testing what we believe are strong copper-nickel sulphide targets.”

Infinity Hillside SkyTEM Survey 2018 In May 2018, a helicopter-borne electromagnetic (EM) survey was carried out for Infinity at Hillside by SkyTEM Australia Pty Ltd. The survey was flown along 128 x E-W lines including 2 repeat lines for a total of 883 lime km, over 2 separate survey areas, covering a total area of 127 square km (Area 1 in the north covering 76 sq km and Area 2 in the south covering 51 sq km). Both Time-domain EM and magnetic data were acquired. The survey flight height was a nominal 45 m, flying at a line spacing of 150 m. The EM system used was a 312M SkyTEM system (Interleaved Low Moment and High Moment) mounted to an AS350 B3 Helicopter. Navigation used a real-time Omnistar High Precision DGPS system. Base GPS data was also recorded as a back-up. The transmitter loop area (Tx) was 337 sq m and the base frequency ranged from 275 Hz (Low Moment LM) to 25 Hz (High Moment HM). All data were acquired using interleaved LM and HM transmitter modes, consisting of 110 LM positive and negative pairs at 275 Hz, plus 30 HM pulse pairs at 25 Hz, which repeats every 1.6 seconds. The magnetic data was collected using a Caesium Vapour magnetometer sensor, mounted on the front of the Tx loop frame. Raw binary data was processed using SkyTEM proprietary software. Infinity Hillside Rock Chip Sampling 2021 Rock chip samples between 1 to 3 kg were collected by a qualified geologist on site. A total of 35 rock chip samples were collected (H20001 to 35).

The fault zone trends north to south, is believed to be vertical in strike-slip/ oblique-slip fault orientation and is predominantly in sheared mafics to ultramafic rocks. •The Hillside area is prospective for a range of metalliferous deposits including VMS style copper mineralization, Komatiite-hosted Nickel- sulphide deposits and shear-hostedgold deposits. |

| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level inmetres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length.• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
•No data aggregation methods have been applied. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true _width not known’). _ |
•NA |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
•See diagrams in body of report. |
| Balanced | • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades |
