Antipa Minerals Limited is an Australian based mineral exploration company in the Metals and Mining sector. It runs significant operations in Paterson Province with the aim of developing top-notch discoveries. Major projects of the mineral explorer include Citadel, North Telfer and Paterson.

Antipa’s Paterson Province exploration tenement portfolio which totals 5,500km2 was strategically accumulated over the most shallowly covered portion of the site. As per company estimates, it has accumulated 56% of the eastern Paterson Province which is under less than 80m of cover. The company launched the major exploration program in Western Australia’s Paterson Province in July 2018 running almost a month ahead of the project timelines. The programme aims at unlocking province’s next mine development authority.

Company’s major drilling programme for the year now includes high-resolution aeromagnetic survey covering a total area of 260 km, with the objective of refining existing and defining new magnetic high anomalies. The focus is on high-quality copper and gold exploration and mineralization. The survey has proximity to Rio Tinto’s exploration base and Greatland Gold Plc’s Havieron site.

The greenfield exploration programme includes 11 priority airborne electromagnetic (AEM) targets and additional aeromagnetic targets to be evaluated in 2019. Both AEM and aeromagnetic have resulted in significant discoveries in the Paterson Province so far and offer pivotal exploration techniques for gold and copper deposits. The programme will comprise a planned 50,000m Reverse Circulation and air core drilling campaign and surface geochemical sampling and geological mapping programmes.

The large-scale aeromagnetic survey has been completed over the first tranche of high priority AEM conductor targets and the drilling is expected to commence soon.
