Infinity boosts NSW copper potential with historic gold mine find
Infinity Mining has identified a new gold target area, which includes the historic Sir Walter Scott gold mine, about 3 kilometres south of its Cangai copper project in northern New South Wales. The old Sir Walter Scott mine was discovered in 1872, and during the late 1800s, it produced 1790 ounces of gold from 2203 tonnes of ore at an average grade of about 25 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. The mineralisation in the old show is reported to occur in quartz-sulphide veins, hosted by steeply dipping chloritic shear zones within the Carboniferous Gundahl Complex. The complex consists of greywackes, metasediments and cherts, with minor limestone and basalts. In the 1980s, Little River Goldfields and Key Resources conducted exploration at Sir Walter Scott, including rock chip sampling around the old workings, waste dumps and from nearby outcrops. Those programs delivered several high-grade assays going up to 15.8g/t gold along a northwest trending zone for about 500 metres along strike, between Sir Walter Scott and near-neighbour Nova Resources' John Bull gold project. Grades to 7.08g/t gold were picked up in quartz-veined chert around the Sir Walter Scott shaft, and grades between 1.1g/t and 3.89g/t gold were recorded along about 500m of strike around the Sir Walter Scott workings. A total of 12 rock chip assays better than 1g/t gold were reported around Sir Walter Scott out of a total of 32 samples collected. Since the 1980s, limited modern exploration has been conducted around Sir Walter Scott and Infinity views the old show as offering a compelling target justifying further assessment. The company's research and historical data compilation has not revealed any drilling, geophysics or systematic exploration at the project since the 1980s. With the area under-explored, Infinity initially figured that Sir Walter Scott could be an intrusion-related gold system. Novo thinks the same about its John Bull project, which is 3km along strike within a significant structural corridor to the northwest. Novo has a farm-in joint venture over John Bull with TechGen Metals. Recently completed soil sampling at the project has extended the known gold anomaly within a 1 part per billion contour to about 1.5km along strike, including a remarkable soil gold result of up to 1.59g/t. Novo's rock chip sampling also defined peak gold values to 67.9g/t and 29g/t gold from sheeted quartz veins within northeast and northwest trending structural zones in the region, pointing to possible further high-grade gold mineralisation. The company planned to run a 1500m reverse circulation drilling program this month, subject to rig availability. The anomalous gold exploration results at John Bull add some intriguing context to the potential of Infinity's Sir Walter Scott gold prospect, which is 3km southeast along strike and has never been drilled. Infinity has obtained publicly available LiDAR survey data over the central part of its Cangai project from the NSW Government. LiDAR is a remote sensing method used to examine the earth's surface. It measures distance by sending a short laser pulse and records the time taken for the reflected pulse to return. LiDAR surveys produce highly accurate terrain images that can 'see' through vegetation cover and easily resolve areas of historical surface activity, including small pits, excavations, tracks and infrastructure obscured by grass and bush. It is widely used in archaeological and mine pit surveys, and infrastructure and slope stability monitoring. Infinity's data was reprocessed to a 50cm resolution to create a bare-earth digital terrain model that revealed a northwest-trending cluster of shafts, pits and trenches over more than 500m of strike length along the northwest structural corridor, including the Sir Walter Scott and Beagley gold prospects. Infinity's flagship Cangai copper mine lies 3km north of Sir Walter Scott. It produced 4950 tonnes of copper, 52.7kg of gold and 1035kg of silver from 76,940t of ore, making it one of the highest-grade and most successful early 20th-century copper mines in NSW. Infinity sees the multi-commodity copper-gold-silver character of Cangai as adding strength and diversity to its project. Having an untested historical high-grade gold mine on its doorstep is also a significant geological and potential economic bonus. Infinity plans a field visit to its newly appreciated Sir Walter Scott gold target in the coming quarter to undertake preliminary geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling to verify historical rock chip results and ascertain strike continuities and controls. Its ongoing exploration program will be determined by these results. Is your ASX-listed company doing something interesting? Contact:

Composer, conductor, Buddhist and model: Inside the restless mind of Eric Whitacre
Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre took a deep breath and pitched his germ of a musical idea to the head of London's BBC Proms. 'It would be Vangelis meets Thomas Tallis,″ he says. To his surprise, his proposed marriage of electronica and 16th-century vocal music got the thumbs up. Eternity in an Hour debuted at the Royal Albert Hall last year and is poised to make its Australian premiere with Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. Whitacre is a musical rarity: a popular, highly regarded composer, conductor and performer who straddles the divide between classical and contemporary music. He has an aura of rock star glamour as crosses his Sydney hotel foyer in black jeans and sweater. With collar-length hair and chiselled good looks – he could be Sting's much younger brother – he looks more the techno band member he once was than a conductor at home on podiums around the globe. It's the third time he has worked with the Philharmonia's young adult ensemble VOX, who co-commissioned the piece with the Proms and Flemish Radio Choir. Whitacre will perform a range of electronics while conducting the work also scored for choir, piano and cello. Its title is based on a stanza from William Blake's poem Auguries of Innocence: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. Whitacre first read the poem in his early 20s and admires its eloquent meditation on impermanence and the interconnectedness of all things.

They can decorate their trains with personal achievement boards, themed train skins, sky, and ground customizations, and unique visual effects. Players can even generate unique train designs with an in-game AI tool that integrates their own character outfits, adding a deeper, more immersive touch to the experience. Infinity-themed anniversary collections await More collectibles will be launched in the Free Fire Luck Royale, blending nostalgia with fresh, themed designs. These include: ● Top Criminal (Golden): An iconic evolution of the fan-favorite Criminal series, reimagined in radiant gold.

Mariah Carey Earns Her First Solo Hit Song In A Decade
Mariah Carey returns to the Hot 100 solo for the first time in 10 years with her new single 'Type of ... More Dangerous,' which also launches at No. 1 on other Billboard lists.

(Photo by Christopher Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) Throughout the 1990s, Mariah Carey was the queen of the Hot 100, scoring one No. 1 smash after another. Several of her hits from that decade ruled for historically-long periods of time. Lately, Carey has spaced her releases further apart, and she doesn't land big wins like she used to. But the beloved singer is back on Billboard's ranking of the biggest songs in America this week with 'Type Dangerous,' which helps her return to the tally unaccompanied for the first time in years. 'Type Dangerous' opens at No. 95 on the Hot 100 this week. According to Billboard, the track earns Carey her first completely solo hit on the chart roster in a decade. The last time she debuted a tune on the tally without any other featured artists credited was in May 2015, when 'Infinity' arrived and peaked at No. 82. In the years since 'Infinity' debuted, Carey has pushed a handful of tracks onto the Hot 100, but all of them benefited from another artist being included. Her list of recent hits includes 'I Don't' with YG and 'Oh Santa!' alongside Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson. Those two tunes peaked at Nos. 89 and 76, respectively. Of course, Carey returns to the Hot 100 every holiday season with 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' The track finds its way back to the tally sometimes in November, sometimes not until December, but for the past half-decade, it has risen all the way to No. 1 every year. The blockbuster has now accrued a total of 18 weeks ruling the list — a number that will surely climb again at the end of 2025. 'Type Dangerous' powers its way onto the Hot 100 thanks largely to a healthy sales sum. The single opens at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart, with a little under 5,100 pure purchases, according to Luminate. That also sends it straight to No. 1 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and R&B Digital Song Sales tallies. It similarly opens inside the top 10 on a handful of other genre-focused rankings.
