Infini Resources Limited has completed its 2026 field program at the Portland Creek uranium project in Newfoundland, returning peak spectrometer readings of 9,400 cps and portable XRF screening up to approximately 2,800 ppm uranium ahead of an upcoming Phase 3 drill program.

The helicopter-supported program involved 465 geological stations and approximately 283 kilometres of continuous ground traverses. Handheld gamma-ray spectrometer profiling confirmed multiple radiometric anomalies, with the strongest responses consistently localized within fractured and bleached granite, leucogranite veins, and sericitic fault gouge.

Petrography independently confirmed the fracture-controlled alteration assemblage, and 86 rock samples have been submitted for laboratory assay, with results expected in Q3 CY2026. Preparations are well advanced for a roughly 5,000-metre Phase 3 diamond drilling program scheduled to commence in Q3 CY2026, alongside a parallel trenching program targeting zones including the Falls Lake Prospect, which returned a high-grade uranium-in-soil anomaly of up to 74,997 ppm U₃O₈.

"At Portland Creek, the field program has delivered exactly what it was designed to do. Our field crews systematically assessed the priority airborne anomalies and confirmed strong radiometric responses on the ground, consistently within the fractured, altered and structurally prepared settings our geological model identified."

In addition to Portland Creek, Infini has completed its maiden diamond drilling program at the Reynolds Lake and Reitenbach Lake uranium projects on the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. The program totaled 3,314 metres across 16 drillholes, providing the initial subsurface test of the company's exploration model.

Drilling intersected reactivated graphitic faults, shear zones, and hydrothermal alteration assemblages comprising chlorite, hematite, sericite, clay, and local epidote. All core samples have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council for analysis, with assay results expected in late Q3 CY2026.
