ProActive Investors - Antipa Minerals hits up to 51 metres at 2.7 g/t gold at Minyari Dome with high-grade copper to boot

Antipa Minerals Ltd has struck broad intersections of gold and copper in drilling at the Minyari Dome Project in the Paterson Province of Western Australia, generated in programs centred on the GEO-01 main zone and Fiama prospects, as well as the main Minyari deposit.

The company’s results confirmed the presence of new zones of near-surface, high-grade gold and copper mineralisation at GEO-01 and Fiama, as well as solid gold, copper, silver and cobalt intersections within the main Minyari deposit.

“Immense potential” for resource growth

“The third batch of assay results from CY2024 Phase 2 drilling continues to deliver exceptional outcomes and builds on the already stellar results returned in earlier batches of the program,” Antipa Minerals managing director Roger Mason said.

“Much of the new mineralisation discovered begins from near surface and, importantly, in many instances, remains open at depth.

“This highlights the immense potential for further resource expansion at the Minyari Dome Project.

“The mineralisation is gold- and copper-dominant, with additional valuable credits likely to be available from the strong silver and cobalt grades, serving to further enhance the economic appeal of the deposit.

“Planning for CY2025 drilling is well advanced and field activities are set to commence this quarter, providing further opportunities to grow the Minyari Dome mineral resource base and unlock its full potential.

“In parallel, we have advanced various technical workstreams to enable refinement and progress on the development opportunity at the Minyari Dome Project, and we expect to formally begin an advanced economic study shortly.”

The company says mineralisation remains open for further exploration across multiple GEO-01 lodes as well as the Fiama, Minella, Minyari South and Minyari Southeast prospects, offering strong potential for further resource growth.
