Diamond Drilling Commences at Portland Creek Uranium Project

The highly anticipated maiden diamond drill program has commenced at Portland Creek to test stunning uranium soil geochemistry (peak 7.5% U3O8) coincident with a prolific shear corridor

Infini Resources Ltd (ASX: I88, “Infini” or the “Company”) is thrilled to announce the commencement of diamond drilling at its 100% owned Portland Creek Uranium Project in Newfoundland, Canada (ref announcement 16 December 2024).


Highlights

  • Phase 1 diamond drilling will comprise up to 23 holes, targeting a high-grade uranium discovery in the tier-1 jurisdiction of Newfoundland, Canada
  • The first priority one hole, PCDD001 is planned to be drilled to a depth of approximately 600m, testing the peak 74,997ppm U3O8 soil anomaly coincident with a 46.54 Pb 206-204 ratio and major demagnetized north-south fault zone at depth
  • Site core logging and cutting facilities have been built and await the first batch of core from the field
  • The staged program is anticipated to take 6-8 weeks to complete with the Company to update on progress

Infini’s Managing Director and CEO, Charles Armstrong said: "We’ve entered an incredibly thrilling chapter for the Company as we start drilling at our highly promising greenfield uranium prospect in Portland Creek, NL.

Myself and the Infini team are incredibly excited for the commencement of drilling, starting with our priority one diamond holes (1A). The anticipation is palpable as we target a high-grade soil anomaly right on top of a significant shear zone and three converging second-order faults.

The Talus prospect is just the beginning—one of many exciting targets within this expansive uranium corridor we’ve worked tirelessly to advance over the past year. The period ahead could mark a pivotal moment for the Company if this eagerly awaited maiden drill program uncovers a major uranium discovery in the tier-1 jurisdiction of Newfoundland, Canada. The excitement is real, and the potential is enormous."

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven-year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend the Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year. If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals.

That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.

Basin Energy Shifts Focus to Uranium Assets with District-scale Potential in Queensland

Basin Energy’s (ASX:BSN) recent acquisition of a significant landholding in the Mount Isa region of Northwest Queensland has propelled the company into Australia's uranium and rare earths exploration landscape, giving investors exposure to a cost-effective, district-scale opportunity, according to the company’s managing director, Pete Moorhouse.

“The Queensland opportunity provides direct exposure for district-scale wins from first-pass drilling with reverse circulation and aircore, so this is relatively cheap drilling on district-scale opportunities. Northwest Queensland, from the jurisdiction (perspective), is a real prime opportunity for critical minerals,” said Moorhouse.

The Basin Energy executive also noted that there are significant government initiatives in place at both the federal and state level to support the region’s growth, as well as recent M&A activity in the uranium space.
