INFINITY MINING TO COMMENCE DRILLING ON BRISBANE NICKEL PROSPECT E45/4779 IN THE EAST PILBARA
Highlights:
-
In 2022 preparatory field geology was completed to facilitate this drilling program:
-
♦Initial investigation involved 35 rock chip samples being taken across the Brisbane Nickel Prospect, returning up to 7,636 (0.74%) Nickel (Ni) and 8,918 ppm (0.892%) Chromium (Cr).[1] -
♦A helicopter electromagnetic (VTEM Max) survey was flown in late 2022 and preliminary data indicates a prominent conductive target located 350 metres east of the Brisbane Nickel Prospect which may represent a buried Ni sulfide system.[2] -
A ten-hole reverse circulation (RC) program is planned to test both the surface geochemistry and the VTEM max anomaly.
-
Cultural heritage clearance received from Nyamal Aboriginal Corporation.
-
Programme of Works approval received from Government of Western Australia’s Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS).
-
Track access and drilling surface preparation is underway for an early June commencement.
Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to announce that the first drilling program on Brisbane Nickel (E45/4779) will be commencing early June 2023 with a planned ten-hole RC programme for a 1,700-metre advance.

Project Location
The main prospect of interest at Infinity’s licence E45/4779 is the Brisbane Nickel Prospect (see Figure 1 ). Much of the exploration work completed by Infinity to date has been focused on this Ni prospect and the surrounding areas, however the preliminary results from the recent helicopter-EM (VTEM) survey[2] , which are currently being processed, are providing exciting new targets for Infinity to follow up in 2023.

A cultural heritage survey was undertaken with Heritage WA (Archaeological service providers) and representatives of the Nyamal Native Title Group over Infinity’s Panorama tenement E45/4779 in late March. Clearance has now been received to support heavy equipment access and drill site clearing for Infinity to commence its second East Pilbara drilling campaign for this year.

The Brisbane Nickel Prospect
The published Government geological map over the area shows the Brisbane Nickel Prospect is located at the contact of Mg-rich ultramafic intrusive rocks of the Dalton Suite, which appears to have intruded along a stratigraphic contact within the Euro Basalt unit, between mafic volcanics to the south-west and more felsic volcanics plus volcanoclastic units to the northeast, see Figure 3 .
The rocks have been strongly folded and lie on the southern limb of a large south-west plunging antiformal structure. The area is heavily faulted and located adjacent to a large structural zone which has faulted the relatively younger Fortescue Group, in particular the Mt Roe Basalt, against and over the Euro Basalt along the southern limb of the antiform. Public domain Government magnetic data indicates that the Ultramafic intrusive of the Dalton Suite continues underneath the mapped Fortescue Group to the south.[ 3]

Drilling Campaign Targets
The proposed drilling plans to drill test both the surface geochemistry and VTEM anomaly with 10 RC Holes. Six (6) of the holes will be drilled at an incline under existing rock chip geochemistry and anomalous gossan to test down dip extensions of the peridotite. Four (4) holes will be drilled as inclined scissor holes to test the offset VTEM anomaly, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

Joe Groot, CEO of Infinity Mining commented:
“Infinity’s team has been in the East Pilbara since late February this year. An early start has been essential to the delivery of the Cultural clearance and planning for the May/June drilling programs. In addition, we have now completed the Ambient Nosie Tomography survey over our Tambourah South tenement. Whilst undertaking this field work, we have also completed the road access, site preparation and remote camp infrastructure set-up necessary to allow drilling to commence on time. “
