Victor Bore RC Drilling Program 2023
A total of 16 RC holes were completed in early 2023 at the Victor Bore Project (on tenements M37/1349 and P37/8376) for a total of 1,727m. Drill hole collar details are included below in Appendix 1 . This drilling tested several NE-trending structural zones containing quartz veins at surface. Shallow historical workings are located along the structural zones drill tested. The main structural zone drilled at the northern end of M37/1349 extends approximately 400m along strike.
Initial gold assay results were previously reported in Infinity’s ASX Announcements dated 4 April 2023[1] and 1 June 2023[2] . A total of 13 of the 16 holes at Victor Bore returned anomalous assays over 1 g/t Au, with a maximum 1 m assay of 21.86 g/t Au in hole VB23RC010. The Victor Bore RC holes returned several significant gold intercepts, including:
-
7 m @ 1.96 g/t Au, from 32 m depth in hole VB23RC004. ➢ including 1 m @ 8.67 g/t Au , from 34 m depth.
-
6 m @ 1.40 g/t Au, from 25 m depth in hole VB23RC005. ➢ including 1 m @ 7.33 g/t Au , from 29 m depth.
-
3 m @ 2.39 g/t Au, from 72 m depth in hole VB23RC006. ➢ including 1 m @ 6.82 g/t Au , from 72 m depth.
-
8 m @ 3.46 g/t Au, from 56 m depth in hole VB23RC0010.
-
➢ including 1 m @ 21.86 g/t Au , from 57 m depth.
-
4 m @ 2.65 g/t Au, from 43 m depth in hole VB23RC012.
-
➢ including 2 m @ 4.84 g/t Au , from 43 m depth.
Rare Earth Element Geochemistry
In May 2023, a small selection of 24 RC pulp samples were re-assayed using a more comprehensive multi-element package of 61 elements, which includes REEs. Note - only 24 pulp samples were re-assayed as an initial step to determine if any anomalous levels of REEs are present at Victor Bore.
The REEs assayed include the following elements: Cerium (Ce), Dysprosium (Dy), Erbium (Er), Europium (Eu), Gadolinium (Gd), Holmium (Ho), Lanthanum (La), Lutetium (Lu), Neodymium (Nd), Promethium (Pr), Scandium (Sc), Samarium (Sm), Terbium (Tb), Thulium (Tm), Yttrium (Y) and Ytterbium (Yb). The REE assay results for the 24 RC pulp samples are included in Appendix 2 .
The assay results show anomalous REE concentrations of up to 266.7 ppm Ce, 44.61 ppm Dy, 373.6 ppm La, 389.13 ppm Nd and 157.86 ppm Y. Two of the 24 RC samples returned assays of >1000 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO). - VB23RC008, 20 to 21 m depth, returned 1018 ppm (0.102 %) TREO (saprolite); - VB23RC011, 53 to 54 m depth, returned 1582 ppm (0.158 %) TREO (felsic intrusion).
The anomalous REE assay in VB23RC008, 20-21m depth (1018 ppm TREO), is a strongly weathered, iron-bearing saprolite from the oxide zone at Victor Bore.

For Immediate Dissemination
The anomalous REE assay in VB23RC011, 53-54m depth, (1582 ppm TREO), was logged as a felsic intrusive rock (interpreted as a sub-volcanic dyke). The true composition of this igneous intrusive rock and its extent at Victor Bore is unknown at this stage and will be investigated by Infinity in the future.
Both the light REEs (LREE) such as Ce, La and Nd and the heavy REEs (HREE) such as Dy and Y are anomalous in the initial 24 samples. The Company will continue to assess the LREE vs HREE trends as more data is acquired through further assaying.
A drill hole map showing the 16 RC holes at Victor Bore is included below on Figure 3 . A cross-section (A-B) showing drill hole VB23RC011 is included as Figure 4 , which highlights the steeply SE-dipping interpreted gold zone (open at depth), plus the location of the anomalous REE sample higher up in hole VB23RC011. A JORC Table 1 outlining the drilling, sampling and assaying procedures is included as Appendix 3 .
Next Steps
Further work is planned by Infinity’s geology team to better understand the significance of these anomalous REE assays. The Company will re-submit more RC pulp samples for REE assaying, to fully evaluate the REE potential at Victor Bore. Additional drilling is planned at Victor Bore in late 2023, or early 2024, to test the extent of both the gold and REE systems.
Importance of Rare Earth Elements
Rapid advances in technology have led to a growing in importance of REEs in many domestic, medical, industrial and strategic applications because of their unique catalytic, metallurgical, nuclear, electrical, magnetic and luminescent properties. REEs are used in magnets and super magnets, motors, metal alloys, electronic and computing equipment, batteries, catalytic converters, petroleum refining, medical imaging, colouring agents in glass and ceramics, phosphors, lasers and special glass. Some REEs may also be used in specialised applications, e.g., Europium in currency security and Gadolinium in MRI imaging.
The non-Lanthanide REEs, Scandium and Yttrium, have a number of important applications in modern technology. The major use of scandium is in the production of alloys for use in the aerospace industry. Yttrium also has a range of applications including in abrasives, bearings and seals plus in wear- and corrosion-resistant cutting tools and - hightemperature superconductors and metal alloys.

| 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. |
Infinity RC Drilling 2023 •A total of 37 x reverse circulation (RC) drill holes were completed by Infinity Mining Ltd in the Central Goldfields of WA, in late January to early March 2023. •RC Drilling was completed at five different projects (Victor Bore, Great Northern, Barlow’s Gully, Camel, Coppermine). •Holes were drilled to depths ranging from 78 to 132 m, for a total advance of 3851 m drilled. •Holes were drilled at various azimuths, with dips largely at -60 degrees. •Reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from the rig-mounted cyclone, from which a 2-3 kg representative split sample was collected into calico sample bags via a cone splitter. •A total of 2286 RC drill chip samples were collected during the program, including one (1) metre RC samples within logged zones of interest, plus four (4) metre composite samples outside those logged zones of interest. •Samples were dispatched to Jinning Testing and Inspection Laboratory in Perth for analysis. •The calico bag samples were dried, crushed and pulverised. •Gold was analysed by 50g charge for fire assay with AAS finish. •The samples were also assayed for multi-element analysis by ICP- OES, for a 33-element suite. •24 samples were selected for a more comprehensive ICP-OES method, which includes a 61-element suite (including REEs). |
|
| 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 if so, by what method, etc). |
•RC drilling was conducted by iDrilling Australia, Drilling Contractors using an Hydco 350 RC rig using a 5.5-inch face sampling hammer bit. •PVC casing was used at each hole to protect the collar. •Drilling methods and equipment were to best industry standard. |

•Geological logs were completed for all drill holes by an experienced geologist. •The lithology, weathering, oxidation, colour, grainsize, texture, alteration, veining, structure and mineralisation were recorded in digital spreadsheets at the time of drilling. •Logs are largely qualitative in nature using company logging codes. •Logging of sulphide mineralisation and quartz veining was quantitative. •All intervals drilled were logged. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • 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. |
•RC drilling was used to obtain 1 m split samples, from the rig- mounted cyclone, from which a 2-3 kg split sample was collected into pre-numbered calico bags using a cone splitter. •A total of 2286 RC drill chip samples were collected during the program, including one (1) metre RC samples within logged zones of interest containing quartz veining and mineralisation/alteration, plus four (4) metre composite samples outside those logged zones of interest. •No drilled intervals were left unsampled. •Back-up samples for every 1 m drill interval were also collected and securely stored. •The 4 m composite samples were collected using a manual sample spear and sent to the laboratory for analysis. If any assays from the 4 m composite samples contain anomalous assay results, these will be re-assayed at 1 m intervals. •All samples were transported to Jinning Testing and Inspection Laboratoryin Perth foranalysis. |

| 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’). _ |
•The gold-bearing intervals quoted in the report are close to being perpendicular but are not true widths. •The distribution, geometry, grade and true width of REEs are all unknown at this stage. |
| 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. |
•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. _ |
•It is uncertain that further exploration work will lead to the reporting of a Mineral Resources, in accordance with the requirements of the JORC 2012 Code. |
| 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. |
•There is no other exploration data that is considered to be material to the results reported herein. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
•A more detailed 3D interpretation will be completed by the Infinity geological team over the coming months. •Further REE assaying of RC pulps is planned. •Further exploration work in the Central Goldfields is planned, including RC drilling. •Refer to the main body of the announcement. |
