Infinity lights up huge twin gold and copper trends in Pilbara

Infinity Mining looks to have stumbled onto something potentially big in Western Australia’s East Pilbara, after identifying two monster mineralised trends at its Hillside project.

After a deep dive into the historical data, the company’s geologists picked up a gold trend extending over ten kilometres and a separate copper trend stretching more than seven and a half kilometres. The new corridors appear to form the southern portion of a broader regional structure extending more than 28 kilometres.

The latest results from rock chip sampling at Hillside are nothing short of spectacular, with 21 samples returning assays of more than 10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. Additionally, another 14 samples revealed more than one per cent copper.

One standout sample delivered an eye-watering 240g/t gold from quartz reefs, highlighting the prospectivity of the new find. Other high-grade strikes along the structure included 39g/t gold and 32g/t gold.

The project’s copper potential appears equally impressive, stretching over a seven-and-a-half-kilometre trend, with a peak value of 7.8 per cent copper recorded.

Further assays, including samples grading 7.1 per cent copper with 141g/t silver, and another recording 5.6 per cent copper and 123g/t silver, simply reinforced the system’s likely width and scale. Armed with these results, the company is now planning a reverse circulation (RC) program to test the depth extent of these anomalies.

The Hillside project represents a compelling multi-commodity opportunity in a proven Pilbara greenstone belt.

These tantalising results were hosted in the highly prospective Archaean Coongan greenstone belt of WA’s east Pilbara - a geological engine room known for structurally controlled gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits.

The belt shares similar stratigraphic and structural features with the neighbouring Panorama greenstone belt 70 kilometres away, which hosts Develop Global’s Sulphur Springs deposit, home to 17.4 million tonnes grading 1.3 per cent copper, 4.2 per cent zinc and 17g/t silver.

In separate news, Infinity has sought to strengthen its board by appointing 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 likely to prove invaluable as the company moves to fast-track its latest discoveries.

Upcoming technical next steps include a further surface sampling program to refine drill hole placement and optimise site logistics. The company also has a program of works lodged and pending approval for the RC drill program, which is expected to kick off during the winter window of June and July.

With a war chest of high-grade targets and a proven technical team at the helm, Infiniti looks set to unlock the full potential of Hillside.

The next signal for the market will be the start of the company’s maiden drilling blitz, which will serve as the next major catalyst for this rapidly evolving explorer.
