INFINITY MINING INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE LITHIUM AT TAMBOURAH SOUTH

Macarthur Minerals Ltd. has noted that Infinity Mining Ltd. has intersected high-grade lithium during its recent reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Tambourah South project in Western Australia. The highlights from this recent drilling campaign are:

Highlights:

  • Shallow pegmatites have been recorded in all RC holes completed with up to 25-metre thickness below the surface;
  • Multiple stacked pegmatites have a combined strike length of over 1.5 kilometres; these areas remain untested by drilling.

Significant drill assays include:

  • Drill hole TM23RC022:
    • One m at 1.45 per cent Li2O (lithium oxide), 1,285 parts per million Rb (rubidium), 136 ppm Cs (cesium) and 65 ppm Ta (tantalum) from 66 m;
    • Seven m at 79 ppm Ta from 61 m.
  • Drill hole TM23RC023:
    • Eight m at 118 ppm Ta from 70 m.
  • Drill hole TM23RC025:
    • Five m at 84 ppm Ta from zero m;
    • One m at 0.88 per cent Li2O and 1,210 ppm Rb from 15 m;
    • Three m at 81 ppm Ta from 21 m;
    • One m at 0.91 per cent Li2O and 1,050 ppm Rb from 22 m.
  • Drill hole TM23RC026:
    • Three m at 0.99 per cent Li2O and 1,250 ppm Rb, 100 ppm Cs and 110 ppm Ta from 19 m, including one m at 1.41 per cent Li2O and 1,045 ppm Rb and 81 ppm Ta from 20 m;
    • 22 m at 91 ppm Ta from 17 m;
    • Two m at 1.38 per cent Li2O and 1,258 ppm Rb, 125 ppm Cs and 105 ppm Ta from 30 m, including one m at 2.10 per cent Li2O, 1,060 ppm Rb, 119 ppm Cs and 80 ppm Ta from 31 m.

Cameron McCall, executive chairman and chief executive officer of Macarthur Minerals, commented:

"Infinity should be congratulated on the identification and ongoing development of a mineralized lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) system at Tambourah South. Located in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia, Tambourah South is situated among major lithium producers such as Pilbara Minerals' Pilgangoora operations, Mineral Resources' Wodgina project, Global Lithium's Archer project and emerging exploration ventures like Wildcat Resources' Tabba Tabba lithium project. Macarthur is eagerly anticipating the results of the ambient noise tomography (ANT) survey imaging undertaken in March/April, 2023, at Tambourah South to see whether the mineralized zone thickens at depth. If this system proves to extend to depth below the 1,500-metre surface expression, this may lead to a significant and promising new discovery for Infinity."
