Inflection Resources Awarded Two Exploration Grants for its Duck Creek Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales

22.12.2022  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, December 22, 2022: Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE:AUCU) (FSE:5VJ) (OTC:AUCUF) (the "Company" or "Inflection") is pleased to announce it is the recipient of two exploration grants under the New Frontiers Exploration program from the Government of New South Wales, Australia. The grants awarded to the Company's Australian subsidiary total up to AUD$145,500 to further explore the 100% owned Duck Creek copper-gold alkalic porphyry target. AUD$100,000 was awarded for drilling and an additional AUD$45,500 was awarded for a MIMDAS geophysical survey. This is the third consecutive year in which Inflection Resources has been awarded New Frontiers Exploration Program grants for the Company's NSW exploration projects.

Alistair Waddell, Inflection's President and CEO, states: "Inflection would like to thank the New South Wales Government and Geological Survey of NSW for the financial support given to the Company via the New Frontiers Exploration programs. We are proud to be awarded these grants which we believe validates the Company's exploration strategy exploring previously undrilled targets in the northern covered extension of the Macquarie Arc. An extended period of severe wet weather in NSW has delayed exploration programs throughout the state, including our Duck Creek deep drilling plans. We anticipate using the grant funding in early 2023 when our exploration program at Duck Creek resumes."

Duck Creek Target Details and Exploration Update

Duck Creek is a large alkalic porphyry-related copper-gold style target. The principal target area covers favourable magnetic and gravity features which the Company considers to be part of the prospective Macquarie Arc volcanic sequence. Specifically, the Company has drill tested high-amplitude, complex, curvilinear magnetic patterns very similar to those typical of the intrusion-related signatures of the Macquarie Arc mineralized districts. Drilling to-date has intersected strong hydrothermally altered rocks with similar characteristics to those adjacent to mineralized alkalic copper-gold systems such as Newcrest's Cadia mine and the Northparkes mine complex.

Based on detailed modeling of geochemistry and mineralogy, the Company plans to target mineralization at Duck Creek with a campaign of deeper diamond core drilling. The first priority target area is around a cluster of shallow drill holes that exhibit strong hydrothermal alteration which the Company interprets to be indicative of the upper parts of an alkalic copper-gold porphyry system. The principal target area is associated with an approximate 800 by 1,300 metre aeromagnetic low interpreted to represent a zone of magnetite destruction caused by hydrothermal alteration.

The extended period of extremely wet weather which created flood conditions across most of eastern Australia and restricted access to the New South Wales project area including the Duck Creek drill platforms, appears to be waning with the Duck Creek property now accessible by light vehicle. The Company anticipates recommencing exploration activities at Duck Creek in the new year.

New Frontiers Exploration Program

The New Frontiers Exploration Program is managed by the Geological Survey of New South Wales and is part of the NSW Government's Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Strategy to promote mineral exploration investment in NSW. The program provides grants to successful applicants for exploration drilling and geophysical programs that demonstrate strong prospectivity, sound financial planning and a proven technical base. The program supports the long-term sustainability of the NSW resources sector by encouraging mineral exploration and discovery that will:

  • ensure a sustainable economic resource pipeline for the state, particularly in greenfields areas of the state;

  • test new geological ideas and models and/or exploration in regions of significant cover;

  • identify new critical minerals and high-tech metals deposits in NSW; and,

  • create stronger relationships between government and industry.
