MAIDEN LITHIUM DRILLING PROGRAM COMMENCES AT TAMBOURAH SOUTH

Highlights:

  • Strike Drilling Contractors will undertake an initial 2,500 m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Tambourah South (E45/4848), commencing today.

  • A cultural heritage survey and access track clearances have been completed by representatives of the Palyku Native Title Group.

  • Drilling will test multiple lithium-bearing pegmatite bodies defined by Infinity during 2022, where surface rock chip samples containing spodumene returned lithium assays up to 2.635 % Li2O.

  • The drilling program has been designed to target the largest lithiumbearing pegmatite bodies mapped on the tenement.

  • The drilling will test the width and depth extents of the pegmatite bodies, plus the potential for blind repetitions at depth.

  • Drill hole assays will be released in stages over the coming months, which will help plan Infinity’s 2023 follow-up exploration programs at Tambourah South.

Infinity Mining Pilbara Projects

The Pilbara tenements comprise an extensive portfolio of Lithium, Gold, Nickel, Copper and Zinc exploration tenements located in the Pilbara region of northwest Western Australia, including the Tambourah South, Tambourah North, Strelley Gorge, Hillside, Panorama and Noreena Downs Projects (see Figure 1 ).

Tambourah South Project (E45/4848)

The Tambourah South Project is located 80 km southwest of Marble Bar and 155 km south of Port Headland, WA. Access is via the Great Northern Highway or the Marble Bar-Port Hedland Road. The project lies within greenstones of the Apex Basalt and adjacent to the Yule Granite Complex and is located 65 km southeast of the Pilgangoora Lithium deposit (see Figure 1 above). The Tambourah South Project has developed into a high-priority target area for Infinity, given its high prospectivity for Lithium and the current global interest in Lithium.

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 tenement. Rock chip samples taken at the time returned anomalous Lithium up to 1.47% Li2O and anomalous LCT (Lithium-CaesiumTantalum) pegmatite indicator geochemistry. Results of this early program are presented in the Infinity Mining Limited prospectus dated 28 October 2021.

During 2022, Infinity’s exploration team have undertaken a large amount of surface lithium exploration work at Tambourah South, which has been documented in the June and September 2022 quarterly reports. Key results from this work are summarised below.

Cultural Heritage Survey

During August 2022, a cultural heritage survey was undertaken with Terra Rosa Consulting (Archaeological service providers) and representatives of the Palyku Native Title Group. Clearances were carried out over a number of mapped pegmatites, which are the primary targets for drill testing. Details of this program are included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 17 August 2022.

Mapping and Rock Chip Sampling

Infinity’s first major field rock chip sampling program of 225 samples was completed over the western side of the Tambourah South tenement during the June Quarter, with assay results delivered during the September quarter. Multiple stacked Lithium-bearing pegmatite units up 558 m along strike were mapped, showing evidence of the Lithium minerals spodumene and lepidolite. Samples were taken from 36 weathered outcropping pegmatites making up over 2.6 km of strike length.

For Immediate Dissemination

The rock chip sample assay results returned anomalous levels of Lithium (Li), Rubidium (Rb) and Caesium (Cs), confirming the presence of highly fractionated pegmatites with fertile Li-Cs-Ta (LCT) geochemistry. The highest assay results include 2.635 % Li2O, 0.662 % Rb, 611.3 ppm Cs, 2930 ppm Be, 734.5 ppm Ta and 427 ppm Nb. A total of 25 samples returned over 1.0% Li2O. The distribution of Li2O assay results is shown on Figure 2 . Details of this program are included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 18 August 2022.

Infinity also identified new Rubidium (Rb) exploration targets associated with Lithium-bearing pegmatites at Tambourah South, with assays up to 6,489.4 ppm Rb (0.724% Rb2O). Results to date have defined a large Rb-anomalous zone measuring 500 x 300 m. A total of 47 samples (21% of the initial assays) returned greater than 0.25% Rb2O. Details of this program are included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 15 September 2022.

Second Geochemical Sampling Program

A second geochemical sampling program was completed at Tambourah South during the September quarter, consisting of 31 rock chip samples and 223 lag samples.

Assay results for the 31 rock chip samples returned a maximum of 1.775% Li2O with three samples over 1% Li2O. These positive results complement the previous 225 rock chips samples collected on the tenement and increase the prospectivity for economic Li2O and Rb2O mineralisation within the Tambourah South tenement. Lag sample assay results returned two samples over 1% Li2O with a maximum of 1.182% Li2O and 15 samples over 0.1% Li2O. Details of this program are included in Infinity ASX Announcement dated 26 September 2022.

The mapped lithium-rubidium pegmatite units at Tambourah South could extend to some depth below surface and this will be tested with the RC drilling program commencing today.

RC Drilling Program

The maiden RC drilling program commencing today using Strike Drilling Contractors has been designed to test the largest lithium-bearing pegmatite bodies mapped by Infinity on the tenement. The drilling will test the depth extent of lithium mineralisation and test for any blind repetitions of additional pegmatites at depth. The results from this initial RC drilling program will be used to plan the 2023 field season, which will follow up any significant lithium intercepts returned from these drill holes.

Joe Groot, CEO of Infinity Mining commented:

“The high-grade Lithium assay results from our earlier rock chip sampling programs at Tambourah South are both high-grade in nature and widespread across the western side of the tenement, giving the Company heightened confidence to proceed with our maiden RC drilling program. I am looking forward to drill testing these pegmatites during November to determine the depth extent of mineralisation below the surface and then reporting the assay results over the coming months.”
