QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2022

Highlights:

Tambourah Project - Pilbara

  • A successful helicopter-assisted reconnaissance program was completed in April 2022, which identified multiple pegmatite dykes hosting Lithium minerals spodumene and lepidolite, within the South Tambourah Project.

  • Rock chip assays of these newly discovered pegmatites confirm Lithium mineralisation, with up to 2700ppm Li (equivalent to. 0.58% Li20), 122ppm Be, 120ppm Cs, 0.21% Rb and 110ppm Ta.

  • Potential exists for a zone up to 1.25km wide, hosting multiple Lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes.

  • A follow-up exploration program commenced in mid-2022 (results pending).

Barlow’s Gully – Central Goldfields

  • Rock chip sampling at the Barlow’s Gully Gold Project in the Central Goldfields during the quarter returned up to 15.5 ppm Au.

  • Subsequent aircore drilling and soil sampling across the Barlow’s tenement has defined three significant gold targets - the largest being 480 x 100 m in area.

  • The three soil/aircore anomalies contain anomalous levels of gold up to 0.681 ppm Au.

  • RC drilling is planned to test these high-priority geochemical targets.

Other Projects

  • Exploration work has continued on other tenements in the Central Goldfields and Pilbara Projects. The data from these surveys is currently being processed and interpreted.

Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ending 30 June 2022.

The Company’s planned exploration programs are focused on a package of tenements in the Pilbara region and the Central Goldfields region of Western Australia. Infinity holds 697km[2] in the Pilbara area to the SW of Port Headland, and a further 13.81km[2] in the Central Goldfields around Leonora (see Figure 1 ).

Tambourah

During the June quarter 2022, Infinity’s geological team undertook a helicopter-supported reconnaissance program to several Pilbara projects including Tambourah. The trip included site visits to a number Lithium targets identified during data compilation work. The goal of this trip was to evaluate ways to fast-track the planned Lithium exploration programs. The Tambourah Project has developed into a high-priority area, given the high prospectivity for Lithium and the global interest in Lithium.

During the helicopter-supported reconnaissance program conducted in April 2022, a series of pegmatite dykes hosting visible Lithium minerals spodumene and lepidolite were identified and rock chip sampled, within the southern part of the South Tambourah Project. Details of the program are included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 9 June 2022.

The assay results from the April 2022 rock chip sampling program compliment previous rock chip sampling by Infinity in 2017 and support the presence of a large system of Lithium bearing pegmatite dykes within the South Tambourah Tenement E45/4848.

South Tambourah (E45/4848)

The South Tambourah Project is located 80km south-west of Marble Bar and 155km south of Port Headland. Access is via the Great Northern Highway or the Marble Bar-Port Hedland Road. The project is within greenstones of the Apex Basalt and adjacent to the Yule Granite Complex and located 65km south-east of the Pilgangoora Lithium deposit ( Figure 2 ).

The project covers the highly prospective zone (Goldilocks Zone) out to 3km from the granite-greenstone contact. The historic Tambourah North 2 Tantalum-Lithium mineral occurrence (referenced in the WA DMIRS’ Minedex database) occurs in the northern part of the tenement and Tambourah 1:100,000 geology sheet, showing pegmatite dykes along the western edge of the tenement. Recent exploration by Riversgold Limited (ASX:RGL) also identified lithium (lepidolite) bearing pegmatites along the granite greenstone contact south of the South Tambourah Project (refer to ASX Announcement dated 28 April 2022, New Lithium Prospect Discovered at Tambourah).

Helicopter reconnaissance carried out in 2017 by Macarthur Lithium Pty Ltd (now Infinity Mining) located and sampled Lepidolite bearing pegmatites in the northern part of the project ( Figure 3 ). Rock chip samples taken at the time returned Lithium, up to 1.47% Li2O and anomalous LCT (Lithium-CaesiumTantalum) pegmatite indicator geochemistry ( Table 1 ). Results are also presented in the Infinity Mining Limited prospectus dated October 2021.

The recent helicopter-supported reconnaissance work carried out in April 2022 located and sampled additional Lepidolite-Spodumene bearing pegmatite dykes up to 10m wide and 80m long in the southern part of the project area. Rock chip samples taken on this reconnaissance trip returned up to 0.58% Li2O (calculated) from a composite sample taken over 20m along a pegmatite dyke. Anomalous LCT (LithiumCaesium-Tantalum) pegmatite indicator geochemistry was also returned ( Table 2 ). Details are included in a JORC (2012) Table 1, attached to the ASX Announcement dated 9 June 2022.

MinRex Resources Limited, on their adjacent tenement (E45/4953) which borders the western side of Infinity’s E45/4848 and closer to the granite-greenstone contract, have reported Lepidolite-Spodumene bearing pegmatites close to the tenement boundary (refer to ASX Announcement dated 30 May 2022, New Larger Pegmatites Identified over Tambourah North in East Pilbara). Rock chip sampling by MinRex has returned up to 2.56% Li2O, see Figure 3 (refer to ASX Announcement dated 11 April 2022, Outstanding Lithium Assays at MinRex Tambourah North Lithium Project, East Pilbara). These pegmatites can be seen in satellite imagery trending north-east into the South Tambourah Project area.

Results to date indicated that a large system of Li-bearing pegmatite dykes up to 1.25km wide could exist within the project ( Figure 3 ). The strike extent of this system is unknown at this stage, however it is believed that the potential for more fractionated Spodumene dominant pegmatites exist further away from the granite/greenstone contact ( Figure 4 ). A large structural zone striking north-west across the tenement is thought to have the potential to develop stacked pegmatites in proximity to a strongly magnetic ultramafic greenstone unit, similar to that found in the Pilgangoora and Wogdina Lithium deposits to the north. Photographs taken in the field at South Tambourah are included as Figures 5 to 7 .

North Tambourah (E45/5324)

The North Tambourah Project is located 8km north of the South Tambourah Project. The project covers a structural deformed section of a greenstone belt containing mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Euro Basalt. The project lies between two granite bodies and close to a greenstone-granite contact in the south-west corner ( Figure 8 ). Work has commenced within this project and several potential pegmatites have been identified in satellite imagery. Time constraints during the recent helicopter supported reconnaissance program in April 2022 prevented confirmation of these pegmatites.

Hillside Gold Project

The Hillside Project encompasses Exploration Licenses E45/4685, E45/4824, E45/4708 and E45/4709 held by the Company. During the June 2022 quarter, Infinity specialist consultants defined a number of key Lithium target areas that warrant further work. A helicopter-supported reconnaissance program briefly visited these targets at Hillside and results are being interpreted. Infinity consultants also reviewed the 2018 Hillside SkyTEM heli-EM data and have commenced drill planning work to test a range of EM conductive targets. Results of this work will be released next period.

Panorama

The Panorama Project encompasses Exploration Licenses E45/4732, E45/4764 and E45/4779 held by the Company. During the June 2022 quarter, Infinity specialist consultants defined a number of key target areas that warrant further work. The helicopter-supported reconnaissance program briefly visited these targets at Panorama and results are being interpreted. Planning for additional geophysical surveys has begun. Results will be released next period.

Numerous historical shallow workings and prospecting pits occur at Barlow’s. Until Infinity’s involvement, the licence was held in private hands for many years and has not seen any modern-day exploration.

Mapping and Rock Chip Sampling

Infinity carried out reconnaissance geological mapping and a rock chip sampling program across the tenement in early 2022 and results were reported in June 2022. A total of 8 rock chip samples were collected, largely from quartz veins at surface. Three of the eight rock chip samples returned high-grade gold assays over 1 ppm Au, with the highest assay being 15.495 ppm Au (see Table 3 ).

Aircore Drilling and Soil Sampling

After confirming high-grade gold in surface rock chip samples, a program of aircore drilling was completed by Infinity on the eastern side of the Barlow’s tenement where some alluvial cover is present overlying the Archean greenstones. A total of 194 aircore holes were drilled along 150 m to 200 m spaced NorthSouth lines, with drill sites every 25 m spacing along the lines. Holes were inclined at 60 degrees to the north, roughly perpendicular to the bedding foliation, and drilled to the Archaean greenstone basement. Drill hole depth ranged from 1 to 22 m. At each drill hole, a 1 m thick, end of hole sample was collected for analysis. Details of the program including a drill hole collar table and assays is included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 30 June 2022.

A soil sampling program was then completed by Infinity on the western side of the Barlow’s tenement, where cover is thinner and basement outcrop is partially exposed. Soil samples were collected along 100 m spaced North-South lines, with a sample collected every 50 m along each line. A total of 220 soil samples were collected largely from the C-horizon soil layer.

The aircore samples were submitted to Jinning Testing Laboratory in Kalgoorlie, and the soil samples were submitted to ALS Kalgoorlie for gold analysis by fire assay. Details of these programs are included in a JORC (2012) Table 1, attached to the ASX Announcement dated 30 June 2022.

Gold assays for the aircore drilling and soil sampling programs returned highly anomalous results up to 0.681 ppm Au (see Tables 4 and 5 ). The gold assay results have defined three significant east-west trending gold anomalies of greater than 0.1 ppm Au (see Figure 10 ). The largest gold zone is 480 m long and 120 m wide.

IMI | Quarterly Activities Statement for the period ending 30 June 2022

Interpretation

The Barlow’s tenement lies along a major shear zone associated with the Ursus Fault Zone (see Figure 9 ), which is cut by a number of secondary cross-cutting structures.

The largest anomalous gold zone at Barlow’s (Anomaly 1), is 480 m long and 120 m wide and represents a significant size target for drill testing. Anomaly 1 is also coincident with a magnetic anomaly, which is likely to be associated with a granitoid intrusion, (see Figure 10 ).

A program of RC drilling is being planned by Infinity on the Barlow’s Gully Gold Project (P37/8278). Infinity intends to carry out a program of inclined RC drilling, angled underneath the three anomalous gold zones, to test for structurally hosted gold mineralisation. The three highly anomalous gold targets (Anomalies 1 to 3) have never been drilled in the past by previous explorers.
