Highlights

Heritage survey cleared all 10 proposed drill areas at Hillside.
Rock chips returned up to 4.3% copper and 72.2 g/t silver.
Results extend a 7.5 km polymetallic anomaly along a 9 km VMS-style trend.
Maiden RC drilling expected to start this quarter.

Infinity Mining Limited (ASX:IMI) has provided an update on its Hillside Project in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. The company has completed a preliminary heritage survey, received new rock chip assays and is preparing for a maiden RC drilling program expected to start this quarter.

Heritage Clearance Completed

A preliminary archaeological and ethnographic survey, conducted with the Palyku Traditional Custodians and Terra Rosa Consulting, cleared all 10 proposed drill areas and the main access track corridor. Infinity has accepted all recommendations from the survey.

Executive Chairman Cameron Petricevic described the survey as a pivotal operational milestone for the project and said drilling contracts are being finalised.

New Rock Chip Results

New rock chip samples returned up to 4.3% copper and 72.2 g/t silver, with other samples grading 2.4% and 1.9% copper. The results extend a 7.5 km polymetallic geochemical anomaly along what the company describes as a 9 km outcropping VMS-style trend.

Rock chips are selective surface samples and may not represent the average grade or width of the system. No Mineral Resource estimate applies.

Geological Setting

Hillside lies in the Archaean Coongan Greenstone Belt, which is prospective for VMS copper-zinc, shear-hosted gold and nickel. The company says it shares stratigraphy with the neighbouring Panorama belt, which hosts the Sulphur Springs deposit.

Mapped gossans range from 20 m to more than 130 m in strike length, with widths of up to 30 m. Drilling is needed to test depth continuity and true widths.

Key Takeaways

Heritage clearance removes a key step before maiden drilling.
Rock chips confirm high-grade copper and silver at surface.
The VMS-style trend extends over about 9 km.
Maiden RC drilling is planned for this quarter.
