ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 19 MARCH 2025
INFINITY IDENTIFIES NEW EM GEOPHYSICAL TARGETS AT BOGONG COPPER PORPHYRY PROSPECT, NSW
-
Bogong Copper Mineralisation has Electromagnetic (EM) Response : The re-evaluation of the 2019 Fixed-Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) data confirms an EM conductor is coincident with the known porphyry-style copper mineralisation at the Bogong Copper Prospect.
-
Two New Untested Conductors : Two additional conductors have also been identified ~250m east of the main mineralised zone, which remain untested by drilling.
-
Coincident Copper-in-Soil Anomaly : The new untested EM conductors are associated with a >100 ppm Cu-in-soil anomaly, further supporting their potential copper prospectivity.
-
EM - An Effective Exploration Tool : Electromagnetics can be applied more broadly to the project area, to refine existing targets and identify new targets along strike and at depth.
Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) (“Infinity” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results of a recent review of the 2019 Fixed-Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) survey from the Bogong Copper Prospect.
The review, conducted by Mitre Geophysics, has identified multiple new electromagnetic (EM) conductors, further enhancing the exploration potential of the project. One EM conductor is associated with the known copper mineralisation and another two untested EM conductors lie ~250 m to the east ( Figure 1 ).

BOGONG – A POTENTIAL COPPER PORPHYRY SYSTEM
The Bogong Copper Prospect lies within the highly prospective Macquarie Arc of Lachlan Fold Belt, which is host to several world-class porphyry copper-gold systems like Cadia and Northparkes.
The copper mineralisation intersected in previous drill holes at Bogong is associated with a felsic porphyry intrusive, as recognised by previous explorer DevEx Resources Limited (ASX:DEV) (DevEx). Previous drilling returned copper intersections of up to 54.9 m @ 1.06% Cu, from 6.1 m depth in hole 16, with the main copper minerals being chalcopyrite and bornite (see ASX: DEV Announcement 23 October 2019).
The previous drilling at Bogong is limited and the mineralisation is not closed off along strike or at depth, leaving an opportunity for Infinity to explore for a larger porphyry-related copper system at depth. Many of the previous drill holes intersected low-grade copper zones and pyrite-rich mineralisation, typical of the upper parts of a typical porphyry system (see Figure 2 ). The deeper copper-rich parts of the porphyry model (Ore Shell) have not been fully tested at Bogong.
Infinity aims to use electromagnetics (EM) as an exploration tool to define conductive targets, which could represent higher-grade copper zones at depth. A schematic model showing details of the classic porphyry model is included below in Figure 2 (modified after Lowell and Gilbert 1970).

BOGONG EM GEOPHYSICAL TARGETS
A re-evaluation of the 2019 DevEx Resources Limited (ASX: DEV) FLEM survey by Mitre Geophysics has confirmed an EM conductor is coincident with copper mineralisation previously intersected in historical drilling at Bogong[1] (see Figure 1 ). This reinforces that EM is an effective geophysical exploration tool for identifying copper mineralisation within the Bogong prospect area.
Additionally, two new EM conductors have been identified approximately 250 metres east of the main copper mineralisation zone. These conductors have not been drill-tested and lie on the eastern flank of a high-chargeability induced polarisation (IP) anomaly[2] . The presence of EM conductors on either side of the IP anomaly suggests that copper mineralisation may occur on both margins of the IP anomaly (see Figure 3 ). Bogong may host a mineral system that has a pyritic core (IP anomaly), with copper mineralisation occurring on either side (EM conductors), which is consistent with the porphyry model (see Figure 2 ).
In addition, one of the newly identified eastern conductors is associated with a historical >100 ppm copperin-soil anomaly[3] , further enhancing its copper prospectivity (see Figure 1 ). See DevEx ASX Announcements 22 May 2018, 23 October 2019 and 30 January 2020.

TECHNICAL FINDINGS
The 2019 FLEM survey, conducted by Fender Geophysics for previous explorer DevEx Resources, comprises five lines of data acquisition across the Bogong mineralisation using a TerraTEM system (see JORC Table 1 ). The survey identified three early-time responses corresponding to large, weakly conductive zones. However, due to limitations in transmitter loop positioning, the conductors were weakly coupled, making it difficult to model their depth extent and dip with high confidence.
The strongest EM response was identified on line 6081600N, which was modelled using two variations (V1 and V2) to account for uncertainties. V1 aligns with known copper mineralisation, making it the preferred model (see Figure 4 ).
The two eastern conductors are also open along strike and require further definition. Their alignment with an adjacent strong IP chargeability anomaly increases their potential prospectivity.

NEXT STEPS
Infinity plans to implement a more detailed EM survey over these new eastern EM conductors with improved resolution, to define the EM conductors more precisely, prior to drill testing.
These new findings strengthen Infinity’s exploration strategy at Bogong, identifying EM as an effective geophysical method for identifying additional porphyry-related copper mineralisation across the project area. The Company looks forward to updating shareholders as exploration progresses.

BOGONG PROJECT
Bogong is part of Infinity’s NSW portfolio of 7 ELs, targeting copper-gold and other critical minerals. The Company is eager to advance its work programs on these highly prospective tenements, with initial on-site evaluations, geological mapping, geochemical sampling programs, followed by modern geophysics and drilling in 2025.
Bogong lies within the highly prospective Macquarie Arc of Lachlan Fold Belt and are strategically positioned within one of the world’s most mineral-rich regions. The Macquarie Arc, a volcanic arc formed during the Ordovician period, is renowned for hosting world-class porphyry copper-gold systems like Cadia and Northparkes (see Figure 5 ). The Lachlan Fold Belt is an extensive geological province containing not only world-class porphyry deposits but also orogenic gold and poly-metallic VHMS systems.

Joe Phillips, Executive Chairman of Infinity Mining commented:
“These latest findings at Bogong further validate the use of EM as a key exploration tool in identifying additional copper mineralisation. The confirmation of an EM conductor associated with known mineralisation and the identification of new untested EM targets provide an exciting opportunity to expand our understanding of the prospect. We are committed to refining our geophysical approach to optimise drill targeting and unlock the full potential of the Bogong prospect.”

| 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).

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) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. |

The Bogong Copper-Gold Project, located within the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, is focused on a sequence of Silurian volcanic that lie bounded to the east by the Mooney Moony Fault System. Signifcant disseminated copper mineralisation was encountered in drilling by AOG Minerals over signifcant widths in both vertical and angled holes. Mapping and rock chip sampling by the DevEx Resources identifed that most of the copper and gold mineralisation is associated with the coarse grain feldspar porphyry (diorite). Copper sulphide mineralisation is seen in both the matrix within the rock and as copper sulphide veins proximal to fractures and brecciation. Chalcopyrite/bornite veins crossing through this intrusive rock are also common. Volcanic rocks west of the Bogong workings also contain copper mineralisation and may be overlying a deeper porphyry copper system beneath. The mineralisation model is currently under assessment, with petrology and detailed multielement analysis of the copper rich breccias planned. The close relationship of the copper sulphides with the felspar porphyry suggests an intrusive model. |
