Infini Resources (ASX:I88) has appointed Canadian drill contractor Rodren Drilling and geological services provider Coast Mountain Geological, ahead of its phase two drilling campaign at the Portland Creek Uranium Project in Newfoundland, Canada.
Rodren Drilling will lead the drilling program, while Coast Mountain will provide in-field geological services throughout the program including drill supervision, core logging, sampling, and daily geological reporting.
The 2,500m phase two program will systematically test targets defined by a combination of favourable structural controls.
Structural controls include East-West fault zones and strong surface anomalism such as elevated uranium values, radiometric responses, radon gas, light rare earth pathfinders, and uranium-in-lake sediment anomalies.
Mobilisation of both contractors to site is scheduled to begin around mid- to late-August 2025, with drilling activities expected to begin shortly thereafter.
CEO Rogan Bone says the contractors combined technical capabilities and operational experience will be critical to the efficient execution of the program.
“Infini is well-positioned to begin testing the highly prospective targets generated by our refined exploration model and to advance our goal of unlocking a new uranium discovery at Portland Creek,” Bone says.
Exploration Manager Nick Mitchell says a comprehensive review of historical and newly acquired data resulted in a “robust and technically sound” drill plan.
“This real-time, drill bit-driven targeting approach ensures exploration dollars are focused where they matter most, significantly increasing our chances of making a meaningful discovery at this target-rich project,” Mitchell says.
The Portland Creek Project, spanning 149km2, covers a large regional uranium anomaly in Newfoundland, Canada.
Infini Resources is an Australian energy metals-focused explorer with assets in Canada and Western Australia. The company’s assets are considered prospective primarily for uranium and lithium.
