VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / Infield Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:IN) (“Infield” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has increased the Kings Canyon land package (the “Property“) by approximately 85 percent through the staking of 132 additional lode claims contiguous with ground currently held under an option agreement dated February 28, 2024. The expansion increases the Company’s land position from 3,135 acres to 5,818 acres (Figure 1).
“Expanding our Kings Canyon land position has transformed the project into a much larger, target-rich opportunity,” stated Evandra Nakano, President and CEO of Infield. Ms. Nakano continued, “As exploration heats up within the Kings Canyon district, including active drilling by Rio Tinto, securing additional prospective ground around our existing holdings is an important step in unlocking the project’s full potential. We believe the expanded land package significantly enhances our ability to pursue new discoveries and create long-term value for shareholders.”
Strategic Rationale for Property Expansion:
-
Favourable Host Rocks: The newly staked claims increase the Company’s exposure to the carbonate rock formations that host Carlin-type disseminated gold mineralization at the Property.
-
Anomalous Geochemical Trends: The expanded land package encompasses areas exhibiting anomalous surface sampling values for gold, as well as arsenic and antimony, which are considered important pathfinder elements in Carlin-type gold systems.
-
Repeating Structural Features: Additional coverage of structural features analogous to those associated with gold mineralization at the Property. These structural corridors may have acted as conduits for mineralizing fluids and represent prospective targets for future exploration.
-
New Geophysical Exploration Potential: The additional claims cover a prominent magnetic anomaly, introducing new exploration targets and multiple discovery pathways.
-
Strong Geological and Technical Foundation: Historical drilling has outlined two oxide gold zones at the Property. These known mineralized zones provide a strong geological framework for evaluating and prioritizing targets across the expanded land package.
The Kings Canyon Property is located in western Utah and is prospective for Carlin-type gold mineralization. The Property hosts known zones of oxide gold mineralization identified through historical exploration and drilling and is situated within an actively explored district that has attracted the attention of both junior and major mining companies.
The newly staked claims package consolidates a broader portion of the geological, geochemical and geophysical features believed to be favourable for the discovery of additional mineralized zones. Infield believes the expanded land position strengthens the Property’s exploration upside by increasing exposure to prospective host rocks, mineralized structures, and new exploration targets. The Company plans to integrate the newly acquired claims into its 2026 exploration campaign and evaluate priority targets across the consolidated land package.
