Infini upgrades Canadian uranium targets ahead of first drilling blitz

Infini Resources has jumped back into the uranium spotlight, with fresh rock-chip assays from its Reynolds Lake and Reitenbach Lake projects on the eastern flanks of Canada’s legendary Athabasca Basin.

The company’s latest phase two follow-up sampling results have delivered the goods, confirming high-grade, coherent, system-scale uranium mineralisation at surface and extending anomalism along a whopping 15-kilometre by 3-kilometre prospective corridor that embraces both projects.

Results from Infini’s 2025 phase one program covering the Titus prospect at its Reitenbach Lake project turned up an absolute belter, with a uranium-rich sample clocking in at a hefty, glow-in-the-dark 18,986 parts per million (ppm), or 1.9 per cent uranium oxide.

The phase two program appears to have seized and built on that momentum, throwing up multiple hits from the Titus area, peaking at 3844ppm uranium oxide within 100m of the previous 1.9 per cent discovery result. Similarly, other Titus samples to the south of the big hit and within a 500m radius also nailed some eye-catchers such as 3278, 2700 and 1071ppm uranium oxide.

To the north, about 500m from the discovery hit, another sample reported 544ppm uranium oxide, which, together with the other results, has confirmed the initial incandescent result wasn’t merely a one-hit wonder and that mineralisation extends well beyond the initial discovery zone.

The new numbers also appear to align well with previously identified electromagnetic (EM) geophysical conductors, radiometric hotspots and interpreted structural corridors, all of which hint at the classic signals of basement-hosted uranium systems.

At adjacent Reynolds Lake, elevated uranium from both phases of sampling have reinforced the existence of structurally-controlled mineralisation tied to shear zones and priority geophysical targets.

Pulled all together, the results appear to suggest Infini is building a compelling case for a coherent, system-scale uranium footprint, which mirrors that of Cameco Corporation’s Rabbit Lake uranium project. Lying 60km west of Infini’s ground and right on the eastern boundary of the basin, graphitic units and conductive corridors at Rabbit Lake have delivered the goods for decades.

Infini has wasted no time capitalising on the results from the two scout sampling phases which comprise 181 rock-chip samples in total. The assays have already sharpened the company’s drill targets, de-risked the story and are now paving the way for a maiden campaign slated for the second quarter of the year.

Receiving the phase two assay results is an important step forward for Infini. While the Titus prospect remains a standout high-grade target, the phase two results demonstrate that uranium anomalism is broader and more extensive across both Reynolds and Reitenbach than initially mapped.

The projects sit in prime uranium territory, with a combined 766 square kilometres of contiguous ground straddling the major Needle Falls shear zone. The ground features Archean-Paleoproterozoic basement rocks, graphitic schists and all the right structural plumbing to host unconformity-related uranium.

Infini says permitting and stakeholder discussions are already underway, including engagement with regulatory government agencies, alongside First Nations groups such as Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resources.

The company is also lining up key contractors. Notably, the entire planned drill program will be fully funded from existing cash reserves, avoiding any immediate and dilutive capital raisings required to get the drill rods turning.

The latest results have landed only a week after the company secured a bigger slice of the Athabasca Basin, with three additional mineral claims totalling 8900 hectares adjacent to its Reitenbach Lake project. The new ground has lifted Infini’s landholding at Reitenbach Lake by more than 30 per cent, expanding the project footprint to 381 square kilometres.

For a junior such as Infini, with its sights set on energy metals across Canada and Western Australia, the latest results have marked a clear step-up in both confidence and geological conviction.

To date, the eastern flank of the Athabasca Basin hasn’t met the same level of attention as the core basin. Still, the geology screams potential, especially now that primary uranium has been confirmed at surface and supported by petrographic work that indicates a hydrothermally altered, structurally prepared basement setting.

With uranium sentiment riding high globally and Infini hitting all the right notes with its strong surface geochemistry, geophysical alignments, definitive geology and maiden drilling in its sights, the company may well be worth keeping an eye on as the drilling fires up in the next quarter.

The next few months of target refinement and historical data integration could turn today’s promising anomalies into well-honed drill targets backed by solid rationale.

With any luck, Infini could be on the cusp of turning the margins of the renowned Athabasca basin into the region’s next big basement-hosted uranium surprise.
