Infini Resources Limited

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."

Global Atomic Provides Corporate Update

NIGER UPDATE

At the African Mining Indaba Conference held in Cape Town last week, the Company held several important meetings with Niger's Mines Minister Abarchi, who was present at the largest mining conference in Africa , promoting his Country to attract potential investors interested in the mining sector. The Minister emphasized the Government's strong support for Global Atomic and the Dasa Project, and confirmed his government has no intention to nationalize the Dasa Project.

In various meetings attended by Minister Abarchi at the Conference, he stated that Niger welcomes and encourages investment by foreign mining companies specifically including those from Canada , the United States and Australia.  Further, at the end of last week the Niger government announced plans to hold a major conference in mid-February to establish a process that will govern the transition to a democratic election.

The Company held additional meetings in Cape Town , including with new groups interested in financing the Dasa Project, as well as suppliers and contractors who are currently working with Global Atomic and SOMIDA.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

The advancement of the Dasa underground has progressed on the first two levels along the footwall of the ore body.  Five-meter diameter ventilation raises have been completed and commissioned enabling continued underground development while maintaining safe working conditions and efficiency.

Plant construction is proceeding on schedule with earthworks nearing completion and civil works underway and the concrete batch plant now under construction.  Large pieces of processing equipment such as the SAG mill shell, crusher and acid plant are now on site.  The camp that will house the plant construction crew is well underway with a large percentage of housing now ready for occupation.

FINANCING

Since the inauguration of President Trump in the United States of America , the market reaction has been that debt funding for the Dasa Project is unlikely to come from the USA .  However, these discussions continue as well as the advancement of the Joint Venture final documentation. It is important to remember that the Company has entered into off-take agreements for 8.8 million pounds U 3 O 8 over the first 7 years of the Mine; 90% of which has been sold to US utilities.  As a result of the many successful meetings at the Indaba Conference, new parties have indicated a willingness to participate in the final funding solution for Dasa. Management is confident that these initiatives will continue to progress, and we reiterate our belief that prior to the end of Q1, 2025, further clarity can be shared with the market.

Stephen Roman , President & CEO of Global Atomic, stated, " By advancing the development of the mine, processing plant and infrastructure, we have significantly moved the Dasa Project closer to production while continuously adding to the intrinsic value of the Dasa Project.  This is the basis of appraisal for all our financing discussions and not the current value of our shares."
