News release

For Immediate Dissemination

Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to announce that a review of initial assay results from its recent field rock chip sampling program over the western side of the Tambourah South tenement has defined exploration targets for Rb mineralisation with up to 6,489 ppm Rb (0.724% Rb2O) within exposed weathered pegmatites. A total of 47 samples (21% of the initial assays) also returned greater than 0.25% Rb2O (calc.). The results also exhibited a large proportion of the samples with anomalous Rb, including 59% of the samples with greater than 1000ppm Rb, see Table 1.

Table 1. Samples with Rb2O (calc.) over 0.25%. Results taken from JORC table, ASX Release 18 August 2022 - Tambourah South Lithium Results host Li02 grade up to 2.635% Li20.

Samples were taken from 36 weathered outcropping pegmatites with over a 2.6km of strike length. A main zone of Rb rich pegmatites is the south-western of the tenement, see Figure 2. Several lower grades zones have been found in the central western and north-western parts of the tenement however results from additional samples taken from the central area are still awaited. Undulating to steep topography in the region varies the exposure level of the host pegmatites, and poorly exposed pegmatites were identified under colluvium and alluvium suggesting that additional concealed pegmatites could also exist in and between these zones.

News release

For Immediate Dissemination

The Rb mineralisation is associated with previous announced pegmatite hosted Lithium mineralisation (see announcement here - 9 June 2022). The high Rb content plus the presence of anomalous Beryllium (Be), Caesium (Cs) and Tantalum (Ta) within the rock samples is indicative of highly fractionated complex rare element pegmatites .

Ongoing mapping, rock and lag sampling, plus possible soil sampling is carried out to support the drilling program as the Company continues to identify less obvious and concealed pegmatites and re-assay’s selective rock samples for Rare Earth Elements (REE).

Infinity has a Programme of Works currently in place for a total of up to 2,500m of RC drilling over the existing mineralised pegmatites following the discovery of high-grade lithium.

Preparatory earthworks for the drilling will commence in September 2022 following the completion of a Heritage Survey carried out in conjunction with the Palyku People (refer ASX announcement here - 17 August 2022.)

Joe Groot, CEO of Infinity Mining commented:

“The Tambourah South Tenement continues to bare out with consistently high-grade results for not only Lithium, but now Rubidium. The team are totally committed to leaving no stone unturned when it comes to identifying the commercial potential for this Lithium and Rubidium mineralised system.”

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.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
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.

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. _
•N/A
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.
•No high-grade cuts or any aggregation methods have been applied.
•Li2O % were calculated from Li ppm values using a conversion factor
of 2.153.
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 thickness of the pegmatite units.
•Pegmatite units can be inhomogeneous and mineral contents can be
vary.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
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.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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. _
•N/A
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating substances.
