ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 November 2024
INFINITY SECURES BOGONG COPPER-GOLD TENEMENT IN NSW
Highlights
-
The recently acquired Bogong Copper Project has been granted to Infinity, expanding its copper-gold exploration portfolio in NSW.
-
Previous drilling at Bogong returned significant drill intercepts including 54.9m @ 1.06% Cu[1] , which will be followed up by Infinity over the coming months.
Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI ) (“Infinity” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful grant of the Bogong Project (EL9697), further expanding its copper-gold exploration portfolio in this highly prospective region of New South Wales (see Figure 1 ).

NSW STRATEGY
EL9697 (Bogong) was granted on 5 September 2024 and is valid to 5 September 2029 (5 years), complementing the recently granted EL9700 (Archilles), plus previously granted EL9603 (Gundagai), EL9605 (Harden) (see Figure 1 ), plus 3 other ELs which make up the company’s flagship Cangai Project (EL8625, EL8635 and EL8601).
The new NSW portfolio now includes a total of 7 granted ELs, which allows Infinity to accelerate its exploration efforts in NSW, targeting copper-gold and other critical minerals. The Company is eager to advance its work programs on these highly prospective tenements, with initial on-site evaluations, geological mapping, geochemical sampling programs, followed by modern geophysics and drilling in 2025.
Many of Infinity’s newly granted ELs lie within the highly prospective Macquarie Arc of Lachlan Fold Belt and are strategically positioned within one of the world’s most mineral-rich regions. The Macquarie Arc, a volcanic arc formed during the Ordovician period, is renowned for hosting world-class porphyry copper-gold systems like Cadia and Northparkes (see Figure 1 ). The Lachlan Fold Belt is an extensive geological province containing not only world-class porphyry deposits but also orogenic gold and poly-metallic VHMS systems.
BOGONG COPPER PROJECT (EL 9697)
The Bogong Copper Project spans approximately 16 km of strike length along the Mooney-Mooney Fault System, within the highly prospective Lachlan Fold Belt. The project lies around 20 km from the town of Tumut.
Previous drilling by AOG Minerals in 1974 included a total of 37 percussion drill holes. Drill hole sample assays returned broad, shallow, significant copper intercepts, including:
-
54.9 m @ 1.06% Cu, from 6.1 m depth in hole PDH 16,
-
9.2 m @ 2.02% Cu from 39.6 m depth in hole PDH 17, and
-
18.3 m @ 0.91% Cu from 15.2 m depth in hole PDH 6[2] .
DevEx Resources completed a program of 7 diamond drill holes in 2019, which returned additional significant intercepts, including:
-
39 m @ 0.5% Cu from 13 m depth in hole 19BGDD001,
-
including 12.6 m @ 1.24% Cu from 16.8 m depth,
-
oincluding 3.9 m @ 2.0% Cu from 25.5 m depth -
28 m @ 0.6% Cu from 71 m depth in hole 19BGDD002,
-
including 6 m @ 1.2 % Cu from 79 m depth[3] .
Details of these two drilling programs are provided in two DevEx Resources ASX Announcements released in 2018 and 2020.

The copper mineralisation reported in the previous drill holes is associated with porphyry intrusions and breccia zones and includes disseminated copper sulphides (bornite and chalcopyrite). Infinity believes further drilling is required to test the true extent of the copper mineralisation at Bogong.
The project benefits from proximity to other known mineralised deposits, including the Bogong copper occurrence and Goobarrandra copper mine (see Figure 2 ), and offers significant potential for both copper and gold discoveries. Modern systematic exploration techniques have not been applied to this area, presenting a prime opportunity for further discoveries and potential resource development.

NEXT STEPS
Infinity's immediate focus for its Bogong Copper 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 define the best targets for further exploration work, including modern geophysical surveys, geochemical surveys and other on-ground exploration programs. The highest-priority targets will be flagged for drill testing in 2025.

Joe Phillips, Executive Chairman of Infinity Mining commented:
“ We are excited to secure the Bogong Copper Project, which adds to an excellent portfolio of Copper-Gold exploration opportunities in New South Wales. Reporting over 50 meters of drill intercept assaying at more than 1% copper is an impressive starting point to build from. Infinity’s eastern Australian asset expansion reflects the company’s commitment to identifying and developing high-value mineral resources for the future. We look forward to unlocking the potential of these properties and adding value for our shareholders.”
The Company will provide further updates as exploration activities progress, for further information please contact:

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.
