INFINITY MINING PROJECTS UPDATE
Highlights:
-
Drilling underway at Infinity’s Hillside Project. The first nine-hole program is now approaching 350 m target depth.
-
Contractor confirmed for ten-hole RC drilling program at the Brisbane Nickel Prospect. Exploration Incentive Scheme co-funding grant approved by Department of Mining Industry Regulation and Safety for up to $117,800 of $268,720 exploration program.
-
Interpretation by NEWEXCO of VTEM Max airborne electromagnetic survey has identified 381 late time anomalies, exhibiting geophysical characteristics consistent with bedrock conductors. Seven priority targets have been selected for a groundbased rock and soil sampling program.
-
Cultural heritage clearances have been received for all active projects.
-
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey completed at Tambourah South. Final interpretation of data capture under review by Fleet Space Technologies.
-
Assay results from final samples of February/March 2023 Central Goldfields drilling campaign at Great Northern, Camel, Victor Bore and Barlow’s Gully have now been received.
Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to update investors on a very active exploration program in the first half of this calendar year across the East Pilbara and Central Goldfields.
East Pilbara Exploration
Infinity Mining holds a tenement package of 682 km[2 ] on highly prospective greenstone belts across the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Over 250km2 of new tenements in the Pilbara were acquired further strengthening the position in the region, under a Sale Purchase Agreement (SPA) with TasEx Geological Services Pty Ltd, which includes 100% interest in tenements E45/5847, E46/1373, E45/5720 and tenement applications E45/6237 and E45/6281.

News release
For Immediate Dissemination
The granted Tenements will only be transferred to the Company after the necessary Ministerial consents have been obtained (among other conditions precedent). The tenement applications are not able to be transferred to Infinity Mining unless and until they are granted, and such transfer will be subject to first obtaining any necessary Ministerial consents to the transfers. Figure 1 outlines the location and regional geology map of these tenements.[1]

News release
For Immediate Dissemination
In March 2023 Infinity commenced deployment of Fleet Space Technologies’ ExoSphere geodes at the Tambourah South Lithium Project. The geodes utilise Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) to produce a 3D visualisation of the subsurface structures that may host lithium and rare earth elements in the pegmatite mineralisation. This data set is currently being interpreted. Figure 2 outlines the positioning of the geodes across the project area.

News release
For Immediate Dissemination
Seven survey areas were designed with geodes spaced approximately 220-240 metres apart. Key areas identified by a white outline were resurveyed at alternate spacing for greater infill definitions. The data collected will allow Infinity Mining to estimate the size and orientation of pegmatite bodies, together with the identification of basement depth with specific targets to prioritise future drilling programs. The primary goal of the ANT survey is to map the pegmatite dykes at depth and identify areas where the pegmatites have formed large structurally controlled Lithium and Rare Earth Element deposits.
Further field work undertaken at Tambourah South resulted in the identification of new pegmatite surface expressions. Assay results from the eight rock chip samples collected returned Lithium up to 3.86% Li2O, 338.5 ppm Cs, 174 ppm Nb, 223.7 ppm Ta and 3013.5 ppm Rb. The eight samples were taken from previously defined pegmatites and new pegmatites mapped in the north-west area of the tenement.[2]
Hillside Project
The 2023 geological program for Hillside to date has had four focus areas, namely:
-
Reconnaissance rock chip sampling on E45/4708 returning anomalous Cu up to 4539 ppm, Mo up to 1198 ppm, Au at 0.68g/t and Ag up to 14 g/t.[3]
-
Cultural heritage surveys undertaken with the Nyamal Native Title Group.
-
VTEM Max survey interpretation identified 125 anomalies at the Hillside Project. In the northern survey, four key focus areas were pinpointed. These are west of a strike extensive conductor that runs through most of the Hillside block. In the southern survey, one anomaly is located alongside a strike extensive conductor that runs down the eastern side.[4]
-
Drilling has commenced on E45/4824, prospective for Nickel, Copper and Gold. Refer Figure 3 .
Panorama Project
During June 2023 Infinity Mining plans to commence its 10-hole RC drilling program at the Brisbane Nickel Prospect. This program has been informed by a favorable electromagnetic target 350 m east of the Brisbane Nickel prospect’s surface expression, identified in the VTEM Max survey flown in late 2022.[4] In addition, initial rock chip sampling (totaling 35 samples) conducted across the tenement returned up to 7,636 ppm (0.74%) nickel and 8,918 ppm (0.892%) Chromium (Cr).[5][6] Figure 4 and Figure 5 outline the locations of the planned drillholes at the Brisbane Nickel prospect.

Joe Groot, CEO of Infinity Mining commented:
“Our field team returned to the East Pilbara in February 2023 to commence groundworks for the Hillside and Brisbane Nickel drilling campaigns and prepare for the placement and repositioning of the Fleet Space ExoSphere geodes in March. While placement and repositioning were labour intensive and involved moving the geodes every 3-4 days across the tenement, this new ground-breaking technology will capture passive seismic data at our Tambourah South Lithium Project giving us greater insight on the formation of pegmatites below the surface “.
