Australian mineral exploration company Infini Resources has significantly expanded its presence in one of the world's most important uranium regions, staking new claims adjacent to its existing project in Canada.
Strategic Land Acquisition Bolsters Project Scale
Infini Resources has secured three additional mineral claims in the prolific Athabasca Basin, adding 8,900 hectares of ground right next to its Reitenbach Lake uranium project. This strategic move, announced in January 2026, increases the company's landholding at Reitenbach Lake by more than 30 per cent, pushing the total project area to 380 square kilometres.
This latest acquisition also boosts Infini's overall land package in and around the Athabasca Basin to over 1,021 square kilometres. The basin is a global uranium powerhouse, responsible for roughly 20 per cent of the world's uranium production.
Geological Continuity Enhances Discovery Potential
Early interpretation of exploration data collected in 2025 indicates that promising geology does not halt at the old claim boundaries. Critical features, including electromagnetic conductors, radiometric anomalies, and major structural trends, appear to extend seamlessly into the newly staked ground.
This reinforces the scale and continuity of the mineralised system Infini is investigating. When combined with the adjoining Reynolds Lake project, the company now commands a 766-square-kilometre stretch along the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, a zone considered highly prospective for high-grade, unconformity-style uranium deposits.
These deposit types are the source of some of the world's richest uranium mines, such as Cameco Corporation's Rabbit Lake and Eagle Point operations, which have collectively yielded more than 230 million pounds of uranium.
Positioned on a Major Structural Corridor
Infini's projects are strategically located along the crustal-scale Needle Falls Shear Zone. This major structural corridor separates two geological domains and is known for focusing uranium-bearing fluids, forming the basis for many of the basin's highest-grade discoveries.
The Reitenbach Lake project itself is bisected by northeast-trending folds and north-south faults, with evidence of hydrothermal alteration like magnetite, hematite, and silica. Management notes these are classic signatures of a fertile system capable of hosting significant uranium mineralisation.
The new claims sit adjacent to the company's Titus prospect, where recent surface work uncovered primary uranium mineralisation, with rock chip samples peaking at 1.9 per cent uraninite. This high-grade sample was found within a mapped structural corridor that aligns with significant electromagnetic conductors, validating Infini's targeting approach.
Drilling Plans Align with Bullish Market Forecast
Infini's CEO, Rohan Bone, stated that expanding the Reitenbach Lake footprint is a strategic step that strengthens the company's position over an emerging, highly prospective exploration corridor. He emphasised that securing ground capturing the interpreted extensions of key geological features materially enhances the project's scale potential.
The company is now consolidating all available data across the new tenements to define drill targets for a planned exploration program in the second quarter of 2026. Assays from the latest round of rock chip sampling at both Reynolds Lake and Reitenbach Lake are expected shortly.
This expansion comes at a time of overwhelmingly bullish forecasts for uranium. Some market analysts predict prices could reach as high as US$135 (A$201) per pound, driven by structural supply deficits, rising demand from AI data centres, and the growing recognition of nuclear power as a critical, carbon-free energy source.
With an expanded land package and a 2026 drill program on the horizon, Infini Resources is positioning itself to capitalise on the heating uranium market.
