New Survey Boosts Portland Creek Uranium Potential

Infini Resources has completed a high-resolution airborne radiometric survey over its expansive Portland Creek uranium project in Newfoundland, Canada. This new geophysical dataset will be integrated with existing magnetic and electromagnetic data to refine targets for the company's upcoming phase three diamond drilling program.

The survey, flown by Axiom Exploration Group, covered 737 line kilometres across the 329-square-kilometre tenement package. Infini Resources reports that the data is already proving valuable in mapping major fault sets, structural intersections, and radiometric uranium anomalies. These findings support the company's hypothesis of a potential district-scale uranium system.

This recent work follows a late-May update where Infini Resources confirmed uranium enrichment over more than 6km of strike from its phase two drilling. While the latest airborne data did not reveal significant discrete bedrock conductors, Infini interprets this as consistent with uranium hosted in fractured granite networks rather than conductive sulphides. Magnetically low zones suggest possible magnetite-to-hematite alteration, potentially linked to uranium-rich hydrothermal fluids.

Field crews are currently on the ground, conducting mapping, prospecting, and sampling of priority radiometric anomalies. They are targeting outcropping faults, fracture networks, and breccia bodies, particularly where geological indicators overlap. Rock chip and soil sampling will also test for hydrothermal alteration and pathfinder elements to inform phase three drill planning, slated for the September quarter.

The Portland Creek project is situated in the Precambrian Long Range Complex and is associated with a large regional uranium anomaly first identified in the 1970s. Historical and recent work has outlined a 6km-long zone of anomalous uranium and radon gas. Notably, a 1970s uranium sample returned 2180 ppm uranium oxide, and follow-up work by Infini identified an 800m-by-100m high-grade uranium anomaly with a result of 74,997ppm (7.5 per cent) uranium oxide.
