New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 64% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (64% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$4.42m market cap, or US$3.17m).

Infield Minerals Announces Exploration Results from the 2022 Desperado Drilling Campaign Infield Minerals Corp. announces exploration results from the 2022 drilling campaign at its 100% owned Desperado gold-silver property ("Desperado" or the "Property") in Nevada. The Company commenced drilling in July and completed the program in August of 2022 for a total of 1,517.9 metres of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling across ten drill holes. All assay results from the program have now been received by the Company. The 2022 Desperado drilling campaign was designed to test lithological contacts and structural features for epithermal style mineralization. Many of these features are obscured by desert gravel and were interpreted by Infield using geophysical techniques to "see" under cover. The ground magnetics ("Mag") and induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys completed by Infield in 2021 identified more than forty anomalous IP trends, from which a selection was prioritized for drill testing. Several of the selected targets exhibited chargeability highs within lithological contact zones. Drilling of these targets intersected wide zones of up to 20% disseminated pyrite within intensely clay altered rhyolite near contact zones with andesite, corresponding with the chargeability anomalies. Similarly, other targets tested on the property intersected structural features enriched in pyrite. Gold and silver in the area is known to occur in the types of rocks targeted in this campaign, however, only minor amounts of precious metals were returned from the RC rock chip samples that were submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Further review of the drilling data in context to the geological environment and additional studies would be required to better understand the potential of additional targets at Desperado. The 522 RC rock chip samples collected by Infield in July and August, 2022, were prepared and analysed by American Assay Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada, for fire assays (Au-FA-PB30- ICP), Ag-Grav Ag 30 and multi-element geochemical analysis (ICP-2AO36). American Assay Laboratories is an independent geochemical analytical testing laboratory which is ISO-17025 accredited by IAS. The Company has an ongoing initiative of growing and delivering value through discovery, acquisitions and sustainable development of high quality, high potential assets. As such, Infield regularly evaluates exploration and development assets with a view of expanding and evolving the project portfolio. Ankündigung • Jul 26
Infield Minerals Corp. Commences Drilling At Desperado Gold-Silver Property Infield Minerals Corp. announced that it has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Desperado gold-silver property. Significant potential exists at the Desperado property in areas where prospective lithological contacts and structural features are obscured on surface by desert gravel. These features have been interpreted by Infield using geophysical techniques to "see" under cover. The magnetics and induced polarization geophysical surveys completed by Infield in 2021 identified more than forty anomalous IP trends that represent potential epithermal targets. Chargeability highs associated with some of the targets may represent an increase in sulphide content which is linked to gold and silver in the area. These prospective targets are broad sub-outcropping bodies that have IP signatures consistent with potentially altered and mineralized structures. Mag surveys can help identify structures or potential shear zones, along with different rock units, by measuring the rock's natural magnetism and highlighting contrasts with host rocks. Several historical mine shafts in the western part of the Property have been observed to extend down mineralized faults, whichcorrespond well to the Mag survey results, indicating prospective targets. At Desperado, fault intersections may represent zones of dilation that are conducive to mineral emplacement, and therefore form strong targets with potential to host considerable concentrations of mineralization. Following analysis of the comprehensive dataset collected by Infield in 2020 and 2021, which includes geological mapping, rock and soil sampling and geophysical surveying, eight to ten targets have been prioritized for initial drill testing. The program consists of approximately 2,000 metres of RC drilling and is anticipated to be completed in August. Ankündigung • Jun 07

Infield Minerals Corp. Outlines Silver-Gold Target Area At the Desperado Project in Nevada Infield Minerals Corp. announced it has outlined an area of anomalous silver and gold in soil geochemistry at the Company's 100% owned Desperado project in Nevada. The Company intends to further advance the property through follow-up surface work in third quarter to fourth quarter of 2021. The Desperado property is located in Nye County within the Ellendale mining district, 40 kilometres east of the town of Tonopah. It covers an area of 1,410 hectares (3,480 acres) surrounding the historical Ellendale mine property owned by a third party and is readily accessed by a series of local dirt roads connected to Highway 6 two kilometres north of the property. Exploration and mining in the district during the early 1900s are evidenced by several abandoned adits, shafts and trenches. The district remains underexplored with no indication of modern exploration work having been conducted within the property area during at least the past 30 years. At the Desperado property, historical workings and mineralization are associated with large areas of clay alteration. Much of the area is overlain by "desert gravel" with few outcropping rocks, providing opportunities for discovery under cover through exploration techniques such as soil sampling and geophysical surveying.
