Highlights:

Cameron McCall Non-Executive Director

Harley Groot Non-Executive Director

Dr Michael Kale Non-Executive Director

  • Infinity has been granted $149,675 to complete two (2) inclined NQ diamond holes to depths of 300m to test deeper parts of the Li-bearing pegmatite swarm at Tambourah South.

  • Infinity to fund the balance of the $299,350 program budget.

  • This funding supports the recent activity, featuring recent high-grade RC drilling results (up to 2.1% Li2O)[1] , rock chip assays (up to 3.7% Li2O)[2] and geological mapping significantly extending the Pegmatite outcrop area[2] .

Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (the Company or Infinity ) is pleased to announce that its application for a co-funded drilling program at Tambourah South (E45/4848) has been awarded by the Government of Western Australia’s Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).

The EIS is a State Government initiative that aims to encourage exploration in Western Australia for the long-term sustainability of the State’s resources sector. The initiative started in April 2009 and the main aim is to stimulate increased private sector resource exploration, leading to new mineral and energy discoveries.

Project Location

The Tambourah South 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. The project covers the highly prospective zone (Goldilocks Zone) out to 3km from the granite-greenstone contact ( Figure 1 ).

The Tambourah South Prospect

The mineral deposit model targeted is a Lithium-Ceasium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite within Archean greenstones adjacent to reduced peraluminous S-types granites.

The LCT pegmatite deposits form during the fractionation and dewatering of fertile Rare-Earth-Element (REE) peraluminous S-type granites intrude late to post tectonics and generally post-date regional peak metamorphism. Late stage fractionated LCT bearing fluids move out into the surrounding host rocks along structural pathways and weaknesses to form LCT bearing pegmatite swarms consisting of dykes, sills and bodies, see Figure 2 .

Completed Drilling

Recent RC drilling confirmed lithium (spodumene) and tantalum mineralisation is hosted within highly fractionated pegmatites with high rubidium, caesium and tantalum results indicating fertile LCT pegmatites[3] . Lithium results within the pegmatites were highly variable with individual grades as high as 2.1% Li2O, 1,060 ppm Rb, 119 ppm Cs and 80 ppm Ta. Spodumene was the dominant lithium bearing mineral confirmed by Potable Spectral Solution using the Bruker Ramen Spectrometer on various pegmatite drill chips. The thickest high-grade intersection of tantalum returned 8m over 118 ppm within RC Drillhole TM23RC2023.

The RC drilling has confirmed extensive Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) style pegmatites that are up to 25m in thickness below the surface.

Completed Surface Sampling and Geological Mapping

Narrow (<10m) Spodumene and Lepidolite bearing quartzo-feldsathic pegmatites are continually mapped identifying new outcropping pegmatite zones extending further ( Figure 4 and Figure 5 ) and surface sampled with calculated Li2O grades up to 3.70%[4] .

Multiple stacked pegmatites have a combined strike length over 1.5km – these areas remain untested by drilling, with further areas identified for further ground reconnaissance and exploration.

Drilling Campaign Targets

The successful acquisition of co-funding from the Western Australian Government for the two 300m diamond drill holes is attributed to their technical logic and strategic design, integrating insights derived from the recent Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) passive seismic survey[6] .

This produced a 3D S-wave velocity model of the licence in an attempt to identify larger concealed pegmatite bodies (roots to the currently exposed pegmatites), see Figure 6 . The proposed drilling is targeting two such bodies, identified as shallow and flat-lying low-density zone beneath the mineralisation observed in Infinity's Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and surface sampling.

Diamond core will also greatly improve Infinity’s understanding of the geology and geochemistry of the Li pegmatites.

Joe Groot, CEO of Infinity Mining commented:

“Tambourah South has made significant progressed since our EIS application was lodged, recently returning high grade Li2O results from both surface sampling and RC drilling. Diamond drilling will prove vital geological information about the nature of the pegmatites in the project and also test the ability of passive seismic to discriminate pegmatites at depth plus the nature of the host rocks both of which will greatly improve Infinity’s on-going exploration and 3D geological modelling.

The EIS is a very competitive program, and we are fortunate that we are a successful recipient this round. The funding will assist with our active 2023 field campaign in the East Pilbara which is due to commence shortly.“
