M1 Property

Pursuant to an option agreement between Infield and Mercury Exploration Nevada Inc. (“MExN”) dated June 30, 2020, Infield has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Property (the “Option”). The Property is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project with mineralization associated with silicified breccia zones along and proximal to regional and local fault structures.

2021 Exploration Campaign

Infield's exploration objectives at the Property during the 2021 season consists of prospecting, mapping, rock sampling, and geophysical surveying activities as well as approximately 4,000 metres of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling.

Initial drilling commenced in Q1 with 1,920 metres of RC drilling completed over six holes within the South zone of the Property. An additional 2,000 metres of RC drilling at the North zone of the Property is anticipated in Q3. The drilling program is designed to test initial targets in the North and South zones to assess if the gold- and silver-bearing breccia bodies observed in the field are surface expressions of much larger breccia bodies that are associated with faults at depth. The program prioritizes targets with coincident geophysical anomalies (resistivity and chargeability), altered and brecciated rocks mapped on surface, and rock and soil samples with anomalous gold and silver values interpreted to be associated with silicified fault structures.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option, Infield may earn a 100% ownership interest in the Property by issuing MExN 776,250 Infield Shares and making aggregate cash payments of a total of US$207,500 over a period of three years. Infield must also spend $200,000 on the Property by September 30, 2021. To date, Infield has issued 168,750 Infield Shares to MExN, made aggregate cash payments of USD$12,500, and has satisfied the requirement to spend $200,000 on the Property by September 30, 2021. Going forward, Infield will refer to the Property as “M1” in its disclosure documents and corporate materials.
