Antipa Minerals Records Strong Gold-Copper Assays at Minyari Project in WA

Antipa Minerals (ASX: AZY) has continued its track record of discovering top class gold-copper deposits, with strong assay results from the Phase 1 drilling program at its Minyari project in the Paterson province of Western Australia.

The successful campaign of new discovery drilling identified further mineralised zones, including significant step-out extensions of known mineralisation in multiple deposit areas, and a potential new zone to the south of the Fiama and Rizzo prospects.

The company has also confirmed that mieralisation remains open at the GEO-01 Main Zone and at GEO-01 Central.

Gold-Copper Hits

Highlight intersections from the new zone include 60 metres at 0.4 grams per tonne gold and 0.15% copper from 4m, 8m at 1.2g/t gold, 0.31% copper and 0.6g/t silver, and 2m at 0.3g/t gold and 4.4% copper and 4.4g/t silver.

The latest assays come from 54 holes Antipa completed as it continues to refine key workstreams ahead of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) the company has scheduled for release by June 2026.

That PFS will contain the new mineral resource estimate Antipa released in May, which saw the company’s total resource base grow to 3 million ounces of gold equivalent at 1.94g/t.

Antipa’s other activities during the recent June quarter included its consolidation of the Minyari Dome, Wilki and Paterson projects into the single 4,100 sq km Minyari asset that includes the standalone Minyari Dome gold-copper development project.

Potential Continues to Grow

Managing director Roger Mason said the steady stream of new discoveries at Minyari Dome were further confirmation of the broader potential of the area.

“The outstanding intercepts at Minyari South and GEO-01 reinforce our view that Minyari Dome has the potential to support a significant, long-life standalone gold development, with additional ounces still to be uncovered,” he said.

Mr Mason noted that the drilling success has supported the company’s Stage 1 strategy to test greenfield gold-copper targets and existing prospects that saw it drill 247 holes for 21,605m, made up of 205 air core holes, 40 reverse circulation holes), one diamond core hole, and one diamond core tail.

Antipa expects to complete the diamond core hole during the Phase 2 drilling it is on target to commence in the coming weeks.
