Inflection Resources to Drill Six Copper-Gold Targets in New South Wales, Australia

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, BritishColumbia – TheNewswire - December 22,2025:  Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE:AUCU / OTCQB: AUCUF / FSE: 5VJ) (the "Company" or"Inflection") is pleased to announce plans to drillapproximately twenty drill holes to test six standalone 100% ownedcopper-gold targets located in northern New South Wales that have notpreviously been drilled.  These targets are being exploredindependently by the Company and are not included as part of theAngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited Earn-in Agreement announced onJune 14, 2023.

Summary Highlights

• Targets will be tested by approximately twenty first-pass air coredrill holes to depths of approximately 100 metres or less, aimed atvectoring into hydrothermal alteration and potential intrusion relatedmineralisation; and, 

• The six targets are 100% owned and part of the broaderColossal, Bugwah and Boorara target areas.  Each target exhibitsdiscrete zones of complexity in regional aeromagnetic data andembayment’s in the gravity data consistent with shallow intrusionswith potential associated alteration. 

Alistair Waddell, Inflection’s President and CEO,states: “We are excited todrill test these 100% owned copper-gold geophysical targets which havenever been previously drilled.  These targets complement ourexploration strategy of testing for high-impact systems withsignificant discovery potential.  The compelling geophysicalsignatures of these targets represent the type of opportunities weseek and we look forward to systematically drill-testing these targetsin the new year.”

Bugwah, Colossal and BooraraTargets:

The Company is targeting intrusion-related gold and replacementcopper-gold systems.  These targets are located north of Nyngan, inNew South Wales approximately 35 kilometres northeast of the Trittonmine and 15 kilometres northeast of Constellation copper deposit bothowned by Aeris Resources and display complex structural patterns inthe regional aeromagnetic data (Figure 1).

Subtle radial and fault-controlled magnetic textures potentiallyreflect zones of fluid up-flow where metal-rich solutions haveinteracted with favourable host rocks to produce replacement andstockwork copper-gold mineralisation.  Each target exhibits magneticcomplexity consistent with shallow intrusive architecture andpotential associated alteration zones.

These targets (Figure 2) will be tested by approximately twenty aircore drill holes to depths of approximately 100 metres, aimed atvectoring into hydrothermal alteration and potential mineralisationsimilar to analogues such as the Ravenswood mine in Queensland wherecryptic intrusions, breccia and complex structures combine to localisecopper-gold mineralisation above deeper magmatic centres.

Bugwah:  This target is a 900x 1,300m aeromagnetic high associated with North-West orientedstructural lineaments, coincident with a Bouguer gravity low,suggestive of an intrusion at depth.

Colossal:  The Colossaltargets are a 1 x 1km aeromagnetic high at the coincidence ofNorth-West and North-East oriented structural lineaments and a 500mdiameter aeromagnetic high both coincident with embayment’s in theBouguer gravity data suggestive of intrusions at depth.

Boorara:  This comprisesthree discrete aeromagnetic highs which vary between 500 to 700m indiameter associated with the intersections of North-South andNorth-East oriented structural lineaments and associated withgradients in the gravity data suggestive of intrusions at depth.

Air Core Drilling:

Air core drilling is a rotary drilling method that usescompressed air instead of drilling fluids to remove rock cuttings fromthe drill hole.  The drill bit pulverizes the rock into small chipsand chunks which are then blown back up through the hollow drill rodsto the surface by high-pressure air.  This creates a continuousstream of sample bedrock material that geologists collect and analyze,allowing explorers to map mineralisation and alteration which willdictate whether an area warrants follow-up in the form of moreexpensive deeper drilling.

The primary benefit of air core drilling is its speedand cost-effectiveness compared to diamond core drilling or reversecirculation drilling.  It's significantly faster and cheaper tomobilize and operate, making it ideal for initial reconnaissancedrilling programs to quickly test large areas or follow-up geochemicalor geophysical anomalies.

Next Steps:

The Company has commenced land access discussions andpermitting for drill programs on these licenses.  The drill programswill involve completion of approximately twenty drill holes which is acost-effective and efficient drill technique to collect lithological,mineralisation and geochemical data from the top of the basement whichwill provide valuable vectors for potential deeper drilling. Inflection will draw on our in-depth technical expertise of othergold-copper deposits in New South Wales to analyse the data collectedin this program.

Drilling is expected to commence in early 2026 once therequisite permits and landowner access agreements are fully inplace.
