Infinity Stone Ventures

Overview

Infinity Stone Ventures (CSE:GEMS, OTC:GEMSF) is an exploration and development mining company with a vision to become a single-source supplier of the critical minerals required for the electrification transition.

The transition to clean energy is in full swing, propelling growth in the critical minerals that clean energy requires. Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of the electrification revolution, with global sales in Q1 2022 up 75 percent from Q1 2021. Solar power generation increased by 22 percent from 2021, with wind growing by 17 percent. All renewable energy has one common requirement: batteries. The rise in renewables creates an increasingly strong demand for the critical minerals required to manufacture high-capacity batteries for energy storage, including lithium, copper and graphite.

With a diversified portfolio of battery metal assets in Quebec and Ontario, both mining-friendly, Tier-1 jurisdictions in Canada, Infinity Stone Ventures is focused on accelerating the development of its mining assets for production. The company’s projects are located in highly prospective battery metal jurisdictions: James Bay Lithium in Quebec, Quebec’s Battery Valley and Thunder Bay in Ontario. An experienced management team with expertise throughout the natural resource industry leads the company toward its goals.

Infinity Stone Venturers prioritizes stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions with clear legislation and regulations to accelerate production of critical minerals and ensure a long mine life for its projects. A project's jurisdiction plays an essential role in its overall success and development cost, prompting the company to focus on established mining regions. Developing a project in an unstable jurisdiction invites entirely new risks, and simply navigating regulations can incur significant legal fees and cause long delays in exploration and development.

The company has four key projects at various stages of exploration moving toward production. The Camaro-Hellcat lithium and Galaxy lithium projects recently completed geophysical campaigns and are pending assays. Both assets are also preparing for drilling campaigns for Q1 2023. The company completed its 2022 fall drill program on the Rockstone Graphite project with four holes, RS-22-01, RS-22-02, RS-22-03, and RS-22-04, totalling 800.0 metres. The Zen-Whorberi copper project is pending assays from its Q4 drilling campaign.

Following its recent receipt of an exploration permit, Infinity Stone is also planning to commence a winter 2022 drilling program at its Buda Pegmatite Lithium project in Thunder Bay, Ontario, following economically encouraging results from a recent surface and channel sampling showing rubidium, beryllium and lithium mineralization – with assays up to 367 parts per million (ppm) lithium, 2,090 ppm rubidium, and 4,200 ppm beryllium from grab samples, and up to 1,408 ppm rubidium from channel samples.

The company also acquired the Shorty West Lithium Project in the Northwest Territories, Canada covering 410 hectares across two claim blocks. The Shorty West Project is directly adjacent to Li-FT Power Ltd.'s Yellowknife Lithium Project, which contains 14 different spodumene-bearing lithium pegmatite systems. Historic channel sampling has produced average grades from 1.10 to 1.59 percent lithium oxide (Li2O) over widths of 7 to 40 metres.

A management team with over 20 years of experience in the mining industry leads the company toward its goal of becoming a single-source supplier of critical battery metals. With previous experience raising hundreds of millions of dollars for past projects, Infinity Stone Ventures’ leadership can offer insights on evaluating and raising funds for promising projects.
