Infinity Mining Discovers Significant Mineralised Trends in East Pilbara
Infinity Mining has made a potentially major discovery at its Hillside project in Western Australia's East Pilbara, identifying two extensive mineralised trends. The company's geologists, after analysing historical data, have pinpointed a gold trend stretching over ten kilometres and a separate copper trend extending more than seven and a half kilometres. These new corridors appear to form the southern part of a broader regional structure that spans over 28 kilometres, highlighting the project's substantial scale.
Spectacular Rock Chip Sampling Results
The latest rock chip sampling at Hillside has yielded impressive assays, with 21 samples returning more than 10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. Additionally, 14 samples revealed over one per cent copper. A standout sample delivered an exceptional 240g/t gold from quartz reefs, underscoring the high prospectivity of the find. Other notable high-grade strikes along the structure included assays of 39g/t gold and 32g/t gold, further emphasising the gold potential.
The copper trend, covering seven and a half kilometres, also showed remarkable results, with a peak value of 7.8 per cent copper recorded. Additional assays reinforced the system's likely width and scale, including samples grading 7.1 per cent copper with 141g/t silver, and another recording 5.6 per cent copper and 123g/t silver. These findings suggest a robust multi-commodity opportunity in a proven geological setting.
Geological Context and Strategic Moves
These results are hosted in the Archaean Coongan greenstone belt of the East Pilbara, a region known for structurally controlled gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. This belt shares similar stratigraphic and structural features with the neighbouring Panorama greenstone belt, which hosts Develop Global's Sulphur Springs deposit, containing 17.4 million tonnes grading 1.3 per cent copper, 4.2 per cent zinc, and 17g/t silver.
In a strategic move to bolster its exploration efforts, Infinity Mining has appointed experienced geologist Steven Wood as an independent non-executive director. His deep technical background and previous role as exploration manager at the nearby Sulphur Springs project are expected to be invaluable as the company accelerates its discoveries.
Future Exploration Plans
Armed with these high-grade targets, Infinity Mining is planning a reverse circulation (RC) drill program to test the depth extent of these anomalies. The company has lodged a program of works pending approval, with drilling expected to commence during the winter window of June and July. Upcoming technical steps include further surface sampling to refine drill hole placement and optimise site logistics.
Infinity Mining chairman Cameron Petricevic stated that the Hillside project represents a compelling multi-commodity opportunity in a proven Pilbara greenstone belt. With a proven technical team and a war chest of targets, the company is poised to unlock the full potential of Hillside. The start of the maiden drilling blitz will serve as the next major catalyst for this rapidly evolving explorer, signalling significant market interest.
