Central Goldfields Projects

The Craig’s Rest Project (P37/8468, E37/1442) is part of Infinity’s Central Goldfields portfolio which includes eight projects in the Leonora Gold District of Western Australia. The Central Goldfields Projects are highly prospective for Archaean shear-hosted gold systems.

The Central Goldfields tenements all lie in areas of Archaean greenstone, associated with major NNWtrending fault zones such as the Ursus Fault. A number of significant gold deposits, such as King of the Hills (held by Red 5 Limited – ASX: RED) and Kailis (held by Northern Star Resources Limited – ASX: NST) lie in close proximity to these tenements (see Figure 1 ).

Geology

The Craig’s Rest Project is located 60 km NNW of Leonora, hosted by Archean granites (see Figure 1 ). The tenement area includes a number of outcrops and areas of thick soil and alluvial cover. Several WNW trending shear zones cut across the tenement area. A detailed geology map is included as Figure 2 .

Previous Mining

Small-scale gold mining occurred at Craig’s Rest over 100 years ago, in the late 1800s. The WA Department of Mines mining database (WABMINES & MINEDEX) reports a total of 85 mine shafts, adits and open pits located at three main prospects (Garden Well, Katalina, Craig Prospects). Mine records indicate that the gold mineralisation was hosted in steeply dipping quartz reefs and stringer zones, within shear zones hosted in granite. Workings at Garden Well extend over a strike length of approximately 500 m. These old gold mine workings are located along interpreted WNW-trending shear zones, as shown on Figure 2 .

Rock Chip Sampling

A rock chip sampling program was carried out by Infinity at the Craig’s Rest Project to confirm the presence of gold in the areas around the old gold workings. A total of 47 rock chip samples were collected in the areas around the Garden Well, Katalina and Craig Prospects. Six (6) of the samples returned anomalous gold assays over 1 g/t Au with a maximum of 37.64 g/t Au.

These anomalous gold samples confirm the high-grade tenor of the gold mineralisation at Craig’s Rest. A map showing the location of the anomalous gold assay results is included as Figure 3 . Gold assay results for all samples collected by Infinity are included in Table 1 . Sampling details are outlined in the JORC Table 1 in Appendix 1 .

Structural Targets

A number of WNW-trending and EW-trending structural target zones have been identified at Craig’s Rest for further exploration work. Regional WA government magnetic images have been used to identify linear magnetic lows which are interpreted as altered / magnetic-depleted structural (fault) zones. The Garden Well, Katalina and Craig’s prospects lie along these linear magnetic-depleted fault zones but have not been explored along strike. These structural target zones with be explored further, for shearhosted gold mineralisation.

Forward Plans

Aircore drilling and soil auger drilling programs are planned over the coming months over the structural target zones, which occur along strike from the main gold prospects. Aircore and auger drilling is required to penetrate through the thick zones of soil and alluvial cover. A map showing the highest priority structural target zones is included as Figure 4 .

APPENDIX 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes,
or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
•Rock chip samples between 1 to 3 kg were collected in 2022 by
a qualified geologist on site.
•A total of 47 rock chip samples were collected from Craigs Rest.
•All sample information, including lithological descriptions and
GPS coordinates were recorded during the sampling process.
•Individual samples were bagged in calico bags and sent to
Jinning Testing and Inspection Laboratory in Kalgoorlie, WA, for
gold and multi-element analysis.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
_type, whether core is oriented and ifso, by what method, etc). _
•NA
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
•NA
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
_Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. _
•NA

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.
•Rock chip samples of varied weights between 1 to 3 kg were
collected by a qualified geologist on site.
•The single site rock chips samples were collected from surface
outcrops, float or mine dumps, in the areas of old workings,
using a geological hammer.
•Sampling was focused on quartz veining, sheared rocks and
mine dump material.
•Samples were stored at Infinity Mining’s secure yard in Leonora
then transported to Jinning Testing Lab in Kalgoorlie for
analysis.
•Samples were dried and pulverised to nominal 85% passing 75
microns.
•Gold was analysed by 50g charge for fire assay (code FA50A)
and multi-element analysis was by ICP-AES for a 33-element
suite (code MADI33).
•Gold assay results are included in the Announcement.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc,
the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
_of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. _

structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
•The orientation of mineralised structures has not yet been
defined.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. •All samples were stored at Infinity Mining’s secure yard in
Leonora then transported directly to Jinning Testing Lab in
Kalgoorlie for analysis.

o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
_explain why this is the case. _
•NA
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade
results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
•NA
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle
is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _
•Rock chip samples were taken from surface outcrop and are not
representative of the entire body of mineralisation.

15

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of

reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
•All maps have been inserted within the announcement. See
diagrams in body of report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
•The rock chip sampling results are only a guide and are not
representative across the project areas.
•Balanced reporting of Exploration Results is presented herein.
•It is uncertain that further exploration work will lead to the reporting
of a Mineral Resources, in accordance with the requirements of the
JORC2012Code
