Inflection Resources Granted Additional Exploration Licenses Covering New Copper-Gold Targets
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - August 27, 2025 : Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU / OTCQB:AUCUF / FSE: 5VJ) (the "Company" or"Inflection") is pleased to announcethe Company has been granted several Exploration Licenses in theinterpreted northern extension of the Molong Volcanic Belt(“MVB”), part of the Macquarie Arc in northern New South Wales. Inflection considers these new areas, collectively referred to asthe Molong North project, to be highly prospective for largecopper-gold intrusive related mineral systems.
Summary Highlights:
Inflection has acquired ExplorationLicenses totalling 3,336 km by applying for openground that covers a number of large copper-gold targets that havenever been drill tested;
Licenses cover interpreted concealedextensions of the MVB, part ofthe Macquarie Arc , thatexhibit prominent geophysical features under a blanket of post-mineralcover;
Licenses strategically located northof the world-class Cadia copper-gold mine ownedby Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) and the Boda-Kaiser copper-goldproject owned by Alkane Resources (“Alkane”); and,
The Molong North project is 100%owned and separate and in addition to theongoing AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold Ashanti”)exploration alliance in the northern extension of the Junee-Narrominebelt located approximately 30km to the west.
Alistair Waddell, Inflection’s President and CEO,states: “ Wehave acquired these licenses based on detailed geologicalinterpretation that models the extension of the Macquarie Arc furtherto the north and undercover. These very large targets have neverbeen drill-tested and are interpreted by the Company to be in the samehighly prospective belt of rocks that host the Tier-1 Cadiacopper-gold mine owned by Newmont. Inflection has tremendousexperience exploring the covered segment of the Macquarie Arc furtherto the west, and while there is an element of the unknown regardingthe interpreted geology, we view Molong North as an exciting newopportunity to discover large mineral systems. We look forward toexploring this new search space with a methodical, cost-effectiveapproach and the application of sound geoscience.”
Molong North Project
The Company has acquired 3,336 km² of explorationlicenses referred to by the Company as the Molong North project(Figure 1) which comprises two principal areas referred to asCoonamble and Mendooran. The areas were identified as part of anongoing targeting study in Eastern Australia that is focused on thediscovery of large copper-gold intrusion related or porphyry systems. The study focused on the Macquarie Arc which has proven mineralendowment and extends to the north under a blanket of post-mineralcover. These highly strategic licenses cover a series of largecopper-gold targets that have never been drill tested.
The targets are all located in what the Companyinterprets to be the broad continuation of the MVB, a segment of thehighly prospective Macquarie Arc. The MVB is host to several largemines and significant projects including Newmont’s Cadia mine whichis one of the largest copper-gold mines in theworld and Alkane’s Boda-Kaiser copper-gold deposits. The Companyused available precompetitive geological andgeophysical data (aeromagnetic, gravity, AusLAMP magnetotellurics) andcase studies of known deposits to identify intrusion-like anomalies inthe interpreted Ordovician basement. These anomalies are interpretedto potentially represent large porphyry or intrusion-relatedcopper-gold systems which have never been drill tested. The Companyhas gained significant experience exploring the covered part of theMacquarie Arc further to the west where it has an ongoing explorationpartnership with AngloGold Ashanti.

Coonamble Targets
Eleven major targets, analogous with other alkalicporphyry systems in belt, have been identified based on governmentaeromagnetic and gravity data. The magnetic data, collected on 200metre spaced flight lines, displays high amplitude signaturesindicative of Ordovician basement at depth (Figure 2) . The data also suggeststhat this terrain is potentially an offset segment of the OrdovicianMacquarie Arc which exhibits discreet zones of magnetite enrichmentsuggestive of a porphyry-related alteration at depth.
Preliminary geological, structural and lithologicalinterpretation by Inflection Technical Advisor Dr. Douglas Hayneshighlights a structurally complex area with potential intrusions atdepth. This structural interpretation suggeststhe potential for both arc-parallel and arc-normal faults, which couldpotentially have localised porphyry-related copper-goldmineralisation.
Additionally, the government-flown airborne BouguerGravity Residual data, collected on 2 km flight lines over the wholeof NSW, shows broad zones of elevated gravity within these licensessuggestive of dense Ordovician volcanic basement at depth, with lowzones indicative of intrusions into the basement.

Mendooran Targets
The Mendooran target area (Figure3) comprises of a series of interpretedintrusions which broadly follow an interpretedNW-SE trending structural corridor construed to be a significantcross-arc structure. Cross-arc structures arewidely considered important in the Macquarie Arc and in other volcanicarcs elsewhere as they are known to vector fluid flow and ofteninfluence the emplacement of large-scale intrusive bodies and mineralsystems.
The Inflection team utilisedavailable geological and geophysical data to define a series of highconviction, previously undrilled porphyry copper-gold targets. Thistargeting approach is based on the geophysical signatures for othermajor mines and projects in the belt. The Company engaged Perth basegeophysical consultancy Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd. to deliver 3Dinversion models of the aeromagnetic data which was used to identifyand prioritize targets suggestive ofmagnetite-bearing copper-gold porphyries at depth in the Ordovician basement sequence.
