Inflection Expands Australian Copper-Gold Exploration Portfolio With Seven Undrilled Targets In South Australia

Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU) (OTCQB: AUCUF) (FSE: 5VJ) ("Inflection" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the addition of the Fortitude Project, a district-scale portfolio of 100%-owned, royalty-free exploration licences covering approximately 2,660 square kilometres in South Australia (Figure 1). The portfolio includes seven high-priority, undrilled targets, six prospective for concealed iron oxide copper-gold ("IOCG") and iron sulphide copper-gold ("ISCG") systems, plus one separate gold target.

Inflection expands its Australian copper-gold portfolio into South Australia. The Fortitude Project introduces a new 100%-owned, royalty-free exploration position covering approximately 2,660 km², complementing the Company’s existing copper-gold projects in New South Wales and the Endurance Project IOCG portfolio in the Northern Territory; Copper-gold opportunity in a proven mining district. The project is located in South Australia’s Gawler Craton, adjacent to the broader Olympic IOCG Province that hosts some of Australia’s largest copper-gold deposits, including Olympic Dam, Oak Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill; Seven targets with no previous drilling. Inflection has identified six copper-gold targets and one gold target, all of which are untested by drilling, providing new opportunities for discovery; Targets are supported by multiple geological and geophysical indicators. Inflection has combined structure, gravity, magnetics and interpreted geological architecture to identify areas where a large mineral system may occur; and Generated by a highly experienced IOCG discovery team. The targets were developed using a mineral-systems approach led by Douglas Haynes, whose career includes contributions to Olympic Dam and several other major mineral discoveries, adding an experienced discovery-driven approach to Inflection’s exploration pipeline.

Alistair Waddell, President and CEO of Inflection Resources, states: “The Fortitude Project marks Inflection’s entry into South Australia and adds a large, 100%-owned copper-gold search space to our existing portfolio in New South Wales and the Northern Territory. Across approximately 2,660 square kilometres, we have identified seven undrilled targets within the broader Olympic IOCG Province, where major copper-gold deposits demonstrate the scale of mineral systems that can occur beneath cover. Importantly, these targets were generated using an integrated mineral-systems approach rather than selecting isolated geophysical anomalies. Our next step is to systematically refine and rank the targets with geophysics and 3D modelling before advancing the strongest opportunities toward drilling.”

The Fortitude Project expands Inflection's wholly owned copper-gold pipeline and complements the Company's existing projects in New South Wales where it has two exploration agreements with AngloGold Ashanti and the IOCG-focused Endurance Project in the Northern Territory. The South Australian tenure is situated within the Gawler Craton and Mt Woods Complex, in the broader Olympic Dam IOCG Province and located near the Stuart Highway and established mining infrastructure. IOCG deposits are large hydrothermal systems in which copper and gold occur with abundant iron oxides such as hematite and magnetite; some systems also contain significant quantities of uranium, silver and rare earth elements. These mineral systems can be large and vertically extensive, but in South Australia they are commonly concealed beneath younger, post-mineral sediments, so there i...
