Infinity Mining Limited (ASX: IMI) has commenced drilling the Great Northern historical gold mine and some extensions to the historical mine in Western Australia.
The company has focused on exploration work at its gold and copper tenements which total 10 exploration licences, two mining leases and seven prospecting licences.
The tenement package covers 711 sq. km of highly prospective land in the Pilbara and Central Goldfields. Three of the Central Goldfields assets (The Great Northern, Craig’s Rest and the Camel Leases) have historic drilling for gold which will form the basis for the first phase of drilling here.
CEO, Joe Groot, said the company’s first order of business for 2022 is a first pass 1,000-metre RC drill programme at the historic Great Northern Gold Mine. The purpose of the drilling includes the confirmation and possible extension of drilling undertaken in 1987/88 that defined a historical inferred resource of 18,300 tonnes at 4.5g/t Au.
“With the company now successfully listed and well-funded, we can now focus all our efforts on delivering value to our shareholders through ongoing exploration activity,” Mr Groot said.
“We have been working through the Christmas/New Year period to prepare for the maiden drilling programme at the Great Northern Gold Mine and this has now kicked off.
“Over the next few months our experienced geological team will conduct Aircore Drilling on tenements in the Central Goldfields specifically on the Barlows’ Lease which has never had any modern geological work undertaken as the lease has always been in private hands.
“As well, Infinity’s program in the Pilbara commencing in March 2022 is a 3,000 metre RC Drilling Campaign which our Head Geologist is now formatting based on mapping and soil sampling from our last field campaign at our Hillside lease September 2021.
“Soil sampling results will be reported in near future. A high priority is also to open track access to our three key lithium tenements to further the geological review of these areas.
“We have set ourselves a big programme for 2022 and the early start to this year is essential so we can achieve our goals. With work on the ground ongoing, we anticipate reporting a steady stream of updates from early in Q1 2022.”
