Infinity Mining (ASX: IMI) has returned assay results from the Sir Walter Scott gold prospect in NSW with a maximum of 68.6g/t gold.

Nine of the twelve gold assays returned over 1g/t gold.

The new gold assays are consistent with historical anomalous rock chip gold assays collected by Little River Goldfields and Key Resources in the 1980s.

Highlights from the new rock chip program include:

  • 6 g/t gold — Laminated quartz vein with minor sulphides, from dump next to small open cut.
  • 3 g/t gold — As above.
  • 19 g/t gold — Massive quartz with traces of sulphides, from old dump next to small pit.

Infinity managing director Joe Phillips says the confirmation of high-grade gold mineralisation at Sir Walter Scott is very encouraging.

“These high gold assay results have exceeded our expectations, making Sir Walter Scott another priority target for the company to focus on, in addition to the nearby Cangai copper mine,” he said.

The Sir Walter Scott gold prospect is located within the Cangai project in northern NSW. This gold prospect lies about 3km south of the Cangai copper mine and about 3km along strike to the southeast of the John Bull gold project, owned by Novo Resources (ASX: NVO) and TechGen Metals (ASX: TG1).
