Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) has obtained multiple gold intersections over 1 g/t Au were returned with individual assays up to a maximum of 10.95 g/t Au from an initial 12-hole RC drilling programme for 724 m at the Great Northern tenement.
The programme was completed in January 2022 and gold assays were returned to the company in March 2022. Multi-element analyses for a selection of samples are still pending. The Great Northern tenement is part of Infinity’s Central Goldfields group of projects, located in gold mining district of Leonora, Western Australia.
The programme was designed to verify the gold mineralisation intersected in a historical RC drilling program completed by Melita Mining NL in 1987-1988. The Melita drilling programme was originally reported in 1988.
The maximum gold assay from the Melita programme was 24.1 g/t Au, from 12-13 m (EOH) in hole GN06.
Results
The recent Infinity RC drilling programme was successful in verifying the subsurface gold mineralisation.
Multiple gold intersections over 1 g/t Au were returned with individual assays up to a maximum of 10.95 g/t Au (1 m sample).
Significant gold intercepts include: 5 m @ 2.48 g/t Au from 37 m depth in hole GN22RC101; 4 m @ 3.68 g/t Au from 30 m depth in hole GN22RC111, including 1 m @ 10.95 g/t Au from 32 m depth in hole GN22RC111
Assays from the Infinity RC programme returned multiple gold intercepts over 1 g/t Au, with individual assays up to 10.95 g/t Au (1 m sample).
The Infinity RC drilling programme has confirmed the continuity of gold mineralisation below the historical workings at Great Northern.
The significant gold intercepts from the Infinity programme compare moderately well with the historical Melita program.
The gold mineralisation at Great Northern is hosted in quartz-veins within felsic to intermediate schists. The zones of quartz veining dip steeply to the SW, 6 | P a g e as shown on two cross-section interpretations below.
The interpretation of drilling results shows several sub-parallel zones of gold mineralisation, with the system being open at depth.
Detailed 3D modelling of the geology and mineralisation to now be undertaken, which will allow Infinity to design a follow-up drilling program to test possible extensions of the gold mineralisation.
