Infinity Metals has cut the equity consideration for its Tule Canyon acquisition option by A$10,000, reducing the maximum issue from 10 million to 9 million shares. The revised terms are designed to keep the related-party transaction below the ASX threshold requiring shareholder approval and an independent expert report.

Tule Canyon share consideration cut by 10%
Infinity Metals Limited (ASX:INF) has reduced the equity consideration attached to its option over the Tule Canyon molybdenum-copper project in Nevada, trimming the maximum issue to 9 million shares from 10 million. The stated value of the consideration falls from A$100,000 to A$90,000.
The change is modest in dollar terms, but it addresses a more consequential issue: the transaction’s related-party status. Dale Cameron, appointed Infinity Metals’ non-executive director on 15 September 2026, is the sole director and shareholder of Koala Resources Australia, the seller of Chandler Palm LLC, which holds Tule Canyon. Koala is therefore now a related party under ASX Listing Rule 10.1.1.
Revised terms avoid approval process, company says
Infinity Metals says the variation keeps the revised option exercise consideration below the substantial asset threshold in Listing Rule 10.2. On that basis, the company considers shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.1 will not be required if it exercises the option, avoiding the additional time and expense of commissioning an independent expert’s report and seeking shareholder approval.
The amendment follows Infinity Metals’ original Tule Canyon option, which gave it the right to acquire 100% of the Nevada project. The company has not changed any other terms of the option agreement, and the announcement does not disclose when the option may be exercised.
Exercise decision remains the key next step
For shareholders, the immediate effect is a lower potential equity issue and a simpler transaction pathway, rather than a change to the project itself. The filing does not provide a project timetable, updated exploration information or a revised assessment of Tule Canyon’s commercial prospects.
The outstanding question is whether Infinity Metals ultimately exercises the option and issues the revised 9 million-share maximum. Until then, the variation removes a procedural hurdle, but leaves the acquisition decision and the project’s eventual funding requirements unresolved.
Bottom Line?
The variation reduces potential dilution and transaction friction, but Tule Canyon’s investment case still depends on whether Infinity Metals exercises the option and advances the project.
Questions in the middle?
- When will Infinity Metals decide whether to exercise the Tule Canyon option?
- Will the company issue the full 9 million shares or a lower amount under the revised terms?
- What funding and exploration commitments would follow if Infinity Metals acquires the project?
