Inflection Resources Awarded Two Drilling Grants from

Government of New South Wales

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 4, 2022: Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU) (FSE:

5VJ) (OTCQB: AUCUF) (the "Company" or "Inflection") is pleased to announce the Company has

been awarded two drilling grants under the New Frontiers Cooperative Drilling program from the

Government of New South Wales, Australia.

The Company’s Australian subsidiary has been awarded two drilling grants, which total up to AUD

141,120 for the Me ringo copper-gold target (AUD 98,000) and the Marra (Canoba) Zirconium –

REE target (AUD 43,120).

Alistair Waddell, Inflection’s President and CEO, states: “Inflection would like to thank the N ew

South Wales State Government and Geological Survey of NSW for the generous financial support

given to Inflection Resources via the New Frontiers Cooperative Drilling programs. We are proud

to be awarded these grants for the second time, which validates the Company’s bold exploration

strategy exploring the northern covered extension of the Macquarie Arc , Australia’s premier

porphyry gold-copper province. Grant monies received fund direct drilling costs, providing a non-

dilutionary source of capital and allowing the Company to expand its program for 2022.”

Meringo Target

The Me ringo copper-gold target was defined from detailed geological interpretation of

aeromagnetic data and extensive research into the controls of mineralisation in the exposed parts

of the Macquarie Arc. High resolution 100-metre spaced aeromagnetic data flown by Inflection

over the target area exhibits several areas interpreted to represent zones of magnetite enrichment

and depletion, suggestive of porphyry intrusions at depth below a sequence of younger

limestones. Previous drilling in the target area did not drill through the post -mineral limestone

cover.

Marra (Canoba) Target

The Marra Zirconium-REE target is interpreted to have characteristics analogous to the Toongi

Zirconium-REE deposit located approximately 200 kilometres to the southeast. Inflection

proposes to drill test the concept of an inferred intrusion at depth under a sequence of post -

mineral sedimentary cover. Further details of the Marra target can be found in Inflection news

release dated September 23, 2021.

and models and/or exploration in regions covered by significant cover; and,

• improving the understanding of the mineral resource potential in order to fully realise the
