San José Permitting Update
Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited (‘Infinity’, or ‘the Company’), through wholly owned subsidiary Extremadura New Energies, welcomes the ruling 00008/2023 of the Contentious Administrative Court of Cáceres (‘CAC’, or ‘the Court’) ratifying the correct granting of Investigation Permit Ampliación Valdeflórez (‘PIAV’). The Court’s decision upholds the position of both Extremadura New Energies and the Industrial, Energy and Mining Management Service of the Regional Government of Extremadura.
Highlights:
- Court ruling confirms General Urban Development Plan of Cáceres allows extraction activity and industrial development in key project areas.
- Areas within the project tenure can facilitate the construction of a lithium hydroxide plant and portal to the lithium resource under urban planning requirements.
- Confirmation reinforces both the Company’s and Regional Government of Extremadura position.
- Initial Document consultation process commenced.
The Court’s judgement has clarified the General Urban Development Plan of Cáceres facilitates the utilisation of certain areas within PIAV in which the urban land classification allows “extraction activity” and the industrial development of the proposed lithium hydroxide conversion facility. The Court has recently determined other areas within an adjacent area to the PIAV do not allow for extractive activity and the disturbance of the surface based on landclassification under the General Urban Development Plan of Cáceres (see ASX announcement 22 December 2022).
The decision has reinforced compliance under General Urban Development Plan of Cáceres for Extremadura New Energies’ disturbance of the surface areas required for the decline portal within the PIAV area, adjacent to the resource area, and undertake subsurface activities to access the lithium bearing deposit (subject to environmental and mining licences being granted following the assessment of the Exploitation Concession Application).
The Company will now further advance its submission for the lodgement of a direct Exploitation Concession Application (see ASX announcement 22 December 2022). The CEO of Extremadura New Energies, Ramón Jiménez, stressed that "the decision of the Cáceres court ratifies the urban planning compatibility of the work in the Valdeflórez expansion area and supports the option chosen for the exploitation concession application".
The lodgement of the direct Exploitation Concession Application would be facilitated through the Exploration Permit Application Extremadura S.E. The area under the Exploration Permit Application Extremadura S.E includes the total area of PIAV and other areas with the same General Urban Development Plan of Cáceres classification. Extremadura New Energies has lodged the Exploration Permit Application Extremadura S.E. application. Refer to Appendix 1 for the aerial representation of the areas contained within PIAV and Exploration Permit Application Extremadura S.E.

Figure 1: Carnotite (uranium) mineralisation within siliceous calcrete at the Jailor Bore prospect in sample XT0938.
David Lenigas, Executive Director of Odessa, said:
“Results of our preliminary field work have returned outstanding uranium and vanadium results, confirming the presence of calcrete-type mineralisation across multiple prospects at the Lyndon Project. The results of this campaign have exceeded expectations through the discovery of the highest-grade uranium and vanadium results at the Project to date. Odessa is now focussed on assessing the extent of high-grade uranium mineralisation through follow-up field campaigns that will involve ground-based radiometric mapping and further sampling to generate drill-ready targets for sub-surface testing during Q3, in conjunction with the palaeochannel roll-front uranium drilling at the Relief Well prospect. With multiple radiometric targets outside of the Jailor Bore and Baltic Bore prospects remaining untested, the Company is excited to undertake further field programs to expand on this round of assay results.”

Mineral Resource Upgrade Paves Way for Northern Silica Project PFS
Emerging silica sands developer, Diatreme Resources Limited (ASX:DRX) announced today a significant upgrade to the estimated Si2 Mineral Resource at the Company’s Northern Silica Project (NSP) in Far North Queensland, highlighting the critical mineral project’s potential amid an accelerating solar energy boom.
- Significant 17% increase in Indicated Resource and establishment of maiden 49.5 Mt Measured Mineral
- Resource for Diatreme’s flagship Northern Silica Project (NSP) in Far North Queensland
- Results provide strong Resource foundation for upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and maiden Ore Reserve
- Bulk sample testing and further specialist metallurgical testwork currently underway at external laboratories
- NSP on track for development amid increasing demand for critical mineral key to solar energy industry.
The latest data has shown an increase in both the estimated Mineral Resource categories, with the inclusion of a maiden Measured Resource of 49.5 Mt, as well as increasing the size of the Indicated Resource to 120.5 Mt (up 17% from the previous estimate). Diatreme’s total low iron, high purity silica sand resource base exceeds 402 Mt, an extremely strategic and highly valuable resource that is well positioned to supply the fast-growing solar PV market.
Diatreme’s CEO, Neil McIntyre commented: “It is pleasing to report a further enhancement in the quality of the resource estimate for our flagship NSP, with the establishment of its first Measured category Mineral Resource and significant increase in its Indicated category Mineral Resource.
“The enhanced resource allows us to advance our PFS with greater confidence, providing a deeper understanding of the extraordinary potential for commercialisation contained within the Si2 dune complex at the NSP.
“We look forward to delivering the project’s PFS by mid-2024, together with a maiden Ore Reserve, as we ramp up development of this asset vital to the clean energy revolution, both in Australia and internationally.”
The resource upgrade follows moves by the Australian Government to promote the domestic manufacturing of solar panels under its $1 billion “Solar Sunshot” program. Low iron, high purity silica sand is a key ingredient in the solar PV manufacturing process (solar glass), which is currently dominated by China.
The NSP is also located near Cape Flattery, an area identified as a potential critical minerals hub for silica sand by the Queensland Government in its 2023 “Critical Minerals Strategy.”

Conquest Resources Enters into Agreement with VerAI Discoveries for AI Targeting on Belfast TeckMag Project
Tom Obradovich, CEO of Conquest stated, "It has been a unique experience working with the VerAI team to integrate their AI technology as another layer of targeting, which enhances our ability to potentially discover subsurface mineral deposits at the Belfast TeckMag Project. This area of Canada is one of the most cost-effective exploration regions and mineral-endowed belts in the world."
Belfast TeckMag Project MIAC Investigation
Over the past several years, Conquest has completed airborne electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical surveys, Mobile MT surveys, ground gravity surveys and regional drill programs. Recent examination of drill core by Dr. JF Montreuil, in particular diamond drill hole BC21-05, has indicated that mineralization and alteration facies are related to hydrothermal systems capable of forming IOCG and affiliated deposits. These systems are referred to as Metasomatic Iron and Alkali-Calcic systems or MIAC. The identified alteration types are similar to the Cloncurry region of Australia which hosts the Earnest Henry Mine in addition to other notable deposits. An exploration program beginning with prospecting and geological mapping of the areas of interest identified by VerAI and compiled with previous data will be conducted this spring under the direction of Joerg Kleinboeck, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration for Conquest. A program of diamond drilling is intended to commence later this year on VerAI targets as well as additional targets established by previous programs.
Yair Frastai, CEO of VerAI, expressed his confidence in the partnership, stating, "It's a privilege to work with Conquest, a well-experienced explorer in the region. Our team is committed to maximizing the chance of discovery by using our AI technology to provide Conquest with higher-probability drilling locations, calibrated from the ongoing drilling inputs."
