ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 December 2024

INFINITY SECURES ACHILLES COPPER-GOLD TENEMENT IN NSW

  • The recently acquired Achilles Project (EL9700) has been granted to Infinity, expanding its copper-gold exploration portfolio in NSW.

  • The Achilles Project lies within the highly prospective Archilles Shear Zone, which has seen a lot of recent metals exploration interest.

Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI ) (“Infinity” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful grant of the Achilles Project (EL9700) in New South Wales, further expanding its copper-gold exploration portfolio in this highly prospective region (see Figure 1 ).

EL9700 (Achilles) was granted on 16 September 2024 and is valid to 16 September 2027 (3 years), complementing the previously granted EL9697 (Bogong), EL9603 (Gundagai), EL9605 (Harden), plus 3 other ELs which make up the company’s flagship Cangai Project (EL8625, EL8635 and EL8601). Infinity’s new NSW portfolio now includes a total of 7 granted ELs, which will allow the company to accelerate its exploration efforts in NSW, targeting copper-gold and other critical minerals.

The Achilles Shear zone is located within the metal-rich Devonian Cobar basin hosting several precious and base metal ore deposits such as the CSA Copper Mine and Peak Gold Mine. More recently, significant new exploration drilling results have been reported further south, closer to Infinity’s EL 9700, including Australia Gold and Copper’s Achilles 3 Project, and Eastern Metals Brown’s Reef Project (see Figure 2 ).

ACHILLES PROJECT (EL 9700)

The Achilles Project spans 5 km along the Achilles Shear Zone, covering under-explored structural corridors and historic mineral occurrences within the Cobar Supergroup. EL 9700 contains the Ural gold prospect and the Mt Bowen copper prospect (see Figure 3 ).

Recent drilling from neighbouring Australian Gold and Copper’s (ASX: AGC) Achilles 3 project (~18 km north of EL 9700) returned significant high-grade intercepts, including:

  • 5m @ 16.9 g/t Au, 1,667 g/t Ag, and 15% Pb+Zn from 112m depth in hole A3RC030[2] .

The Brown's Reef (Eastern Metals – ASX:EMS) polymetallic VHMS mineralisation is located <15km to the east of EL 9700 (see Figure 3 ). Eastern Metals have announced recent drill results[3] at Kelpie Hill & Windmill Dam:

  • 7m @ 4.3 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag, 0.3% Pb from 50m and 1m @ 4.17 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag from 82m in hole KHRC001; and

  • 20m @ 0.3% Cu from 186m and 30m @ 0.15% Cu from 271m along with anomalous silver, lead, zinc and gold in hole WDRCDD001.

NEXT STEPS

Infinity's immediate focus for its Achilles Project is the compilation of a comprehensive database containing all historical data, including drilling results, surface geochemical assays and geophysical data.

Once the database is verified and data is interrogated, Infinity will evaluate the Ural gold and Mount Bowen copper mineral occurrences in the field, then define the best targets for further exploration work, including modern geophysical surveys, geochemical surveys and other onground exploration programs. The highest-priority targets will be flagged for drill testing in 2025.

Joe Phillips, Executive Chairman of Infinity Mining commented:

“Acquiring the Achilles Project amid recent neighbouring discoveries is an exciting milestone for Infinity. Hosting Copper and Gold mineral occurrences within prospective geological host rocks, Infinity’s Achilles Project holds great promise for further copper-gold discoveries in the region."

The Company will provide further updates as exploration activities progress, for further information please contact:

Company Profile

Infinity Mining Limited holds a diverse portfolio of projects, spanning over 3,700 km² across highly prospective regions, including NSW's Macquarie Arc, Victoria's Melbourne Zone, and the East Pilbara and Central Goldfields in Western Australia. These tenements host potential high-grade resources, including copper, gold, and other base metals, alongside the Company’s existing focus on lithium.

The flagship Cangai Copper Project, a historic high-grade copper mine with a JORC-compliant resource, offers near-term development potential. Infinity’s broader portfolio is strategically located near established mining operations, enhancing the economic viability and development timelines of its projects.
