[{"type":"text","content":"Infield Minerals Commences Drilling at DesperadoVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 25, 2022 / Infield Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:INFD) (\" Infield \" or the \" Company \") is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Desperado gold-silver property (\" Desperado \" or the \" Property \") in Nevada.HighlightsDrilling is underway at Desperado where the Company has planned eight to ten holes to test for epithermal style gold-silver mineralizationThe program consists of approximately 2,000 metres of reverse circulation (\" RC \") drilling and is anticipated to be completed in AugustPriority targets include buried lithological contacts and structural features that present compelling opportunities for discovery under cover\"We are extremely excited to have commenced our inaugural drilling campaign at Desperado. Our team's diligent work over the past year has opened up an excellent opportunity for a potential discovery in a historical mining camp where previous activity was largely focused on the limited outcrop areas,\" stated Evandra Nakano, President and CEO of Infield. Ms. Nakano continued, \"Modern exploration techniques and a systematic approach has allowed us to explore in areas under cover and to refine targeting in areas that exhibit historical artisanal mining activity. I am personally thrilled to be on site to observe this initial drill testing of the compelling targets we have developed.\"Figure 1: RC drill set up on site for Infield's first drill hole at Desperado, DP22-01.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 (\" Mag \") and induced polarization (\" IP \") geophysical surveys completed by Infield in 2021 identified more than forty anomalous IP trends that represent potential epithermal targets.Figure 2: Desperado property map showing proposed drill holes with chargeability and IP anomalies.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 mi...
