Infinity Stone Options Zen-Whoberi Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Project, Quebec
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 30, 2022) – Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. (CSE: GEMS) (OTC Pink: TLOOF) (FSE: B2I0) (formerly Contakt World Technologies Corp.) (the “Company” or “Infinity Stone“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property option agreement (the “Option Agreement“) with 3EX Resource Corp. (“3EX“) respecting an option to acquire the 353.2-hectare Zen-Whoberi Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Project (the “Project“), located 30 kilometres north of Mont Laurier, Quebec.
Project Highlights
- Historical results from 2006 and 2007 work programs by Quinto Resources Inc. (“Quinto“) with highlighted intervals including 0.57% Cu over 22.8 metres and 1.27% Cu over 3.8 metres from a single geophysical anomaly.
- Gold, platinum, and palladium encountered in historical drilling and trenching by Quinto, including 1.1g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 0.8 g/t Pt over 1.06 metres in hole CB-06-05, and several trench grab samples including T06-11 yielding 5.07% Cu, 0.59g/t Au, 3.9g/t Pt and 0.2g/t Pd.
- Numerous parallel geophysical anomalies, most of which remain untested.
- The Zen-Whoberi Project is located approximately 300km from Glencore Canada’s (“Glencore”) Horne Smelter, located in Rouyn-Noranda, QC, Canada’s only operating copper smelter, and approximately 270km from Glencore’s Canadian Copper Refinery (CCR) in Montreal, QC, Canada’s only operating copper refinery.
Historical Diamond Drilling
In 2006, Quinto completed a drilling program of six diamond drill holes, which encountered significant copper mineralization including 0.57% Cu over 22.8 metres and 1.27% Cu over 3.8 metres along a 200-metre strike length.
The six short drillholes encountered copper mineralization corresponding with a single, large geophysical anomaly over 450 metres in length and open in both directions. Five other parallel anomalies remain to be explored.
Anomalous grades in gold, platinum and palladium were noted in most of the 2006 drill holes, including 1.1g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 0.8 g/t Pt over 1.06 metres in hole CB-06-05.
In 2007, five additional diamond drill holes were completed. Four of these holes encountered significant mineralization, as detailed below in Table 1.

Historical Trenches (2005 to 2007)
In 2005, Quinto completed a total of five trenches on the Property (T05-01 through T05-05), with four intersecting significant mineralization. Out of five trenches, four uncovered significant mineralization. These historical results are summarized in Table 2 below.
Table 2: 2005 Trenching Summary
Trench | Highlight Interval (m) | Cu (%) |
T05-01 | 0.58 | 0.33 |
and | 0.8 | 0.32 |
T05-02 | 3.7 | 0.38 |
T05-03 | 6.45 | 2.22 |
and | 5.3 | 2.57 |
T05-04 | 8.4 | 0.78 |
and | 5.3 | 1.03 |
All samples taken in the 2006 trenching program were grab samples. Trench T06-11 was targeted to expand the Bornite Hill showing. Out of nine grab samples, the best two results showed 5.07% Cu, 0.59g/t Au, 3.9g/t Pt and 0.2g/t Pd (Sample 190840) and 3.9% Cu (Sample 109842). Trench T06-12 was an expansion of T05-04, wherein the best of six total grab samples yielded 0.38% Cu in a quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss. Seven grab samples were taken from T06-13 (expansion of T05-05) of which the best result was 0.2g/t Pd in a calc-silicate rock with disseminated sulphides (cpy-py-po). From six grab samples at T06-14, two diopsidite samples yielded 0.22 g/t Au and 0.27 g/t Pd (Sample 190960) and 0.57 g/t Pd (Sample 190958). Pt and Pd were only analyzed in trenches T06-13 and T06-14.
Trenching confirmed the presence of disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, bornite and massive pyrite in diopside-rich calcosilicate rocks. This mineralization is also present as disseminated within quartz-feldspar-biotite gneisses, marbles and quartzites. The mineralization seems to be found mainly in the hinges of folds, but it is also found in veinlets in a network of sub-vertical fractures oriented E-NE.
About The Zen-Whoberi Project
The Zen-Whoberi property comprises six claims covering 353.2 hectares located north of Mont Laurier, Quebec. It is located in the central metasedimentary belt of the Grenville geological province. The copper mineralization occurs as a skarn in the form of disseminated sulphides (pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and bornite) in calcosilicate rocks.
